ABSTRACT
The article explores the ways in which discursive naming strategies reflect polarized stance on the COVID-19 pandemic, and serve as means of discrediting ideological opponents. The data for the analysis, excerpted from Monco PL and Google search engines, exemplify the uses of the nominal derivative covidianin in Internet discourse. The material exhibits a two-fold function of this derivative 1) it is embedded within the conceptual category of RELIGION in order to exploit the FAITH–REASON dichotomy;2) it is used to portray ideological opponents as representing the category of OTHER. The analysis employs the cognitive linguistics framework, thus broadening the traditional formal and semantic description to include conceptual content underlying the newly coined structure and emergent meanings, as well as the cognitive critical discourse analysis model. © 2023, Society of Friends of the Polish Language.
