Abstract

This article examines the utterances made by selected representatives of the Polish government with regard to migrants and migration in the context of the events which took place at the Polish-Belarussian border in 2021. Its basic purpose is to reveal the link between the actions undertaken by the authorities and the way officials categorised these events and their participants. The analysis is performed from the interpretive perspective, using the conceptual metaphor theory as a hermeneutical key to reconstruct the actors’ points of view. It has revealed that migrations and migrants were categorised through the use of metaphors such as MIGRATION IS WAR and MIGRATION IS A FLOOD. The meanings generated by these metaphors, as well as their entailments, constituted cognitive premises for actions undertaken by Polish authorities in response to the events at the Polish-Belarussian border in 2021. They also determined the catalogue of adequate tools and methods to be applied with regards to the crisis situation at the border.
