Rola literatury dziecięco-młodzieżowej w kształtowaniu wrażliwości morskiej na przykładzie portugalskiego leksykonu Mar (Morze)

This article shows the potential of the Morze/Mar lexicon towards forming readers’ young minds. Its main feature is to educate in sea related knowledge through activating the potential to create and to explore. Building the sea sensibility by engaging readers in the process of active reading takes place in two different cultural ambients. My intention is to show how this sensibility could be formed in both. To prove my point, I will study the lexicon form itself and its functions relating them to theoretical approach on children literature functions.
