Abstract Present day anti-refugee and anti-immigrant rhetoric both in European countries and in the USA makes reference both to shared tropes and to culture-specific rhetoric devices. The paper analyzes four instances of Polish rabid anti-refugee rhetoric that is eminently country specific: they invoke Holocaust scenario as the means of dealing with the refugee question, should they appear on Polish soil, and specifically suggest exterminating them in former Nazi death camps. The analysis is carried out within the Conceptual Integration Theory, amended by the Author with the notion of parasitic blends: these are said to occur when audiences recruit into the blend some elements of the two input spaces that were not intended to be recruited and come up with an emergent meaning that differ from the intended one. It is claimed that such possibility is actually built into CIT and explains why some of the criticism of CIT claims blends’ non-predictability and generally ex-post character of most analyses found in relevant literature.

波兰抗难民言论中的概念混合物

摘要在欧洲国家和美国,当今的抗难民和反移民修辞都参考了共享的比喻和特定于文化的修辞手段。该论文分析了波兰的四处狂暴的反难民言论,这些言论是针对特定国家的:他们将大屠杀的情节作为处理难民问题的手段(如果它们出现在波兰的土地上),并特别建议在前纳粹死亡集中营将其消灭。该分析是在概念整合理论中进行的,该理论由作者根据寄生混合的概念进行了修改:据说这些发生在观众将两个输入空间中某些本不想被吸收并引入的元素融合到混合中时发生的。具有与预期含义不同的紧急含义。
