Metodologiczne problemy opisu języka lewicy

The situation of the Polish left wing in the recent decade shows that, following a long period of relative popularity, is has been losing its voters. Currently, the political left does not have its representative in the Parliament and the leftist media do not attract many recipients. In the context of such changes, a question about the nature of the language used by the Polish left-wingers is justified. This paper points to methodological problems of describing the language of this political option. The fi rst diffi culty is to determine the research criteria and select texts from the perspective of political science, which allows for political and social aspects. The multitude of problems of the language used by left-wingers makes it most accurate to employ critical discourse analysis as the description method. An additional object of the examination of the language is the values and context in which their occur since they constitute the basis for recreating the leftist ethos.
