Wartościowanie kościoła – czy Kościół jest wartością?

Abstract

In the following dissertation I would like to answer the question if the Catholic Church is still perceived as a value. Lexical connotations as well as not firmly fixed textual connotation proved significant for analysing the modern perception of the Church. I examine what connotations are present in the texts about the Church and which of them, due to their frequency of appearance and coherence may prove useful in establishing the Church’s place in the sphere of value. Among the other methods, I am applying the categorisation by prototype for the research. I’ve gathered materials for my analysis from journalistic texts published by Gazeta Wyborcza in 2016.
