Postawy wartościujące w języku i tekście studenckim

The author depicts valuing attitudes in student's vocabulary on the basis of texts from four Krakow universities at the end of the twentieth century. The paper is limited mainly to the vocabulary from the semantic field kobieta (woman), mężczyzna (man). This vocabulary occurs in synonymous series: neutral words // words with a positive or negative connotation, e.g. osoba (person), kobieta (woman), dziewczyna (girl) // babka (chick), kumpela (mate), laska (chick), ważniara (panjandrum), artycha (skirt) or człowiek (man), mężczyzna (man), chłopiec (boy) // studencik, gościu (fellow, guy, bloke), facecik (fellow, guy), przystojniak, palant. In comparison with the vocabulary earlier by 30-40 years contained in the Vocabulary of Student's Dialect, there are twenty or so new words describing women and men, e.g. pankówa (punk girl), przeaparatka; boyfriend, przewir.
