Abstract

The Polish word szerować and its expressive stability


The purpose of this article is to evaluate the expressive and emotional characteristics of the word szerować, in the meaning “share something on social media”. In the first part of the paper, I analyze the situational context related to Internet and corporate communication. Next, I look at the etymology of the word, dictionary and contextual meanings of the lexeme based on analysis of the content of electronic dictionaries. I also present the results of a survey which was conducted for the purposes of this article. Finally, I will verify its word-formation structure, determine the values in the word and assign basic emotions to it.
