description The article presents an analysis of linguistic worldviews emerging from the Polish and English press articles reporting on the coming out of a Polish priest. James Underhill’s (2012) model of the linguistic worldview used for the analysis assumes multidimensionality of this phenomenon that embraces not only the dimensions of world-perceiving and world-conceiving encoded in language systems but also the dimensions of personal world, cultural mindset and the perspective of the speaker. The analysis of the press articles in relation to these dimensions reveals similarities and differences between the linguistic worldviews emerging from the articles. The newspaper articles collected for the analysis deal with the same event but because they have been created in two different cultural contexts, a different view of the world should be expected. The comparative analysis sheds light on the nature of these differences and reflects on their circumstances.
