Abstract

The article discusses methods of modelling the szczepionka (‘vaccine’) lexeme meanings in the anti-vaccine discourse which has become more and more pronounced in the communication space during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Assumptions of the linguistics of discourse and corpus linguistics constitute the theoretical background of the analyses.
