As the PC ideology itself is subject of many polemical discussions, the question arises if its language, which is supposed to be non-racist, non-sexist, non-Iookist, non-ageist and non-ableist, also creates many controversies. But first of all, what does a politically correct language mean? Is it always correct? And what about its grammatical correctness and the culturespecific semantics of the newly created terms? How are politically correct terms created in English and Polish, which are two different language systems? This article which analyses the politically correct language in English and in Polish hopes to bring answers to the above questions.}, type={Article}, title={Is the politically correct language always correct?}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/132993/PDF/5_SILESIANA_22_LUBECKA_Politically.pdf}, }
