| Summary: | The study consists of four parts. The first part is devoted to the beginnings of cultural
linguistics in Poland, connected with the Wrocław-based programme for research on Polish
national culture, the emergence of the “Language and Culture” research network (and a
publication series with the same title), and the launch of the Lublin-based journal
“Etnolingwistyka” in 1988. The second part contains examples of linguistic facts being viewed
in cultural perspective, with a special role of the lexicon as the “mirror of culture”. Part three
presents a repertoire of seven conceptual constructs proposed in Lublin cognitive
ethnolinguistics (linguistic worldview, stereotypes as cultural concepts, cognitive definition,
viewpoint and interpretive perspective, profiling of base images, values, and the experiencing,
conceptualizing, and speaking subject). Finally, the fourth part illustrates the application of
this theoretical framework in an analysis of the Polish cultural concept of PRACA ‘work’.
