Abstrakt
W tym artykule zbadano użycie i funkcję subkulturowego słowa kluczowego (Wierzbicka, 1996) „plantacja” w antyfeministycznej grupie subreddit r/MGTOW. Wychodząc od teorii metafory pojęciowej (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980; Lakoff, 1992), artykuł ten łączy analizę dyskursu i metody językoznawstwa korpusowego uzupełnione o podejście tekstowe oparte o studia kulturowe, aby wykazać, że członkowie r/MGTOW w sposób metaforyczny angażują się w „plantację,” aby i) dyskursywnie konstruować narrację o męskiej opresji i ii) podkreślać podziały wewnątrz i na zewnątrz grupy. Ponadto analiza frazeologiczna użycia czasowników pokazuje, że członkowie uważają „plantację” za fizyczną lokalizację, do której można wejść lub z której można wyjść; jednak zamiast cieszyć się z czyjegoś „odchodzenia” z niej, członkowie wybierają przede wszystkim takie czasowniki, które wskazują na możliwość powrotu na plantację, podkreślając w ten sposób zagrożenia dla poszczególnych członków, aby zapewnić grupie spójność. Niniejszy artykuł stanowi wkład w rozwój badań naukowych nad społecznościami manosfery poprzez analizę metaforycznego użycia języka słabo zbadanej grupy z dotychczas niezbadanej perspektywy.
