Abstract:
The aim of the article is to reconstruct modern image (images) of an old woman in two research perspectives: linguistic and psychological. Linguistic analysis, which uses the concept of language representation of world and basic ethno linguistic tools, deals with the way in which senility of women is perceived and expressed in general language. Surveys and psychological tests carried out from the perspective of developmental psychology familiarize the way of self-perception and self-defining by old women. ; The results of these analysis show that in general Polish language dominates stereotypical, anachronistic and unfavorable portrayal of senior women. However, from the individual perspective, the most important element of the portrayal is individual sense of loss, which appears at the last phase of life; indirectly, the research also confirms social "invisibility" of ageing women.
