Artykuł stawia sobie za cel przedstawienie motywacji metonimicznej powstawania eufemizmów w języku polskim. W opracowaniu oparto się na pracach z zakresu językoznawstwa kognitywnego, w którym postrzega się metonimię jako ważny mechanizm poznawczy o charakterze pojęciowym. W analizowanych przykładach wyróżniono cztery grupy eufemizmów polskich motywowanych przez cztery rodzaje metonimii – metonimię formalną, referencyjną, zdaniową oraz illokucyjną.

The article aims at presenting the metonymic motivation behind euphemisms in the Polish language. Euphemisms are used by speakers as tools for coping with the negatively charged sphere of taboo that is present in culture. They allow both the speaker and the hearer to save their faces, and to follow the principles of politeness in language. The study is based on works in the field of cognitive linguistics, in which metonymy is perceived as a cognitive mechanism that is conceptual in nature. Among the analyzed examples four groups of Polish euphemisms are distinguished, according to the four types of metonymy motivating their creation: formal metonymy, referential metonymy, propositional metonymy, and illocutionary metonymy.

Although Amazing Grace has become a popular song associated with the Englishspeaking culture, the notion of GRACE itself remains mysterious and vague. The problem is that being an abstract notion, grace is difficult to understand and describe even for theologians. This problem may be overcome by conceptual metaphors which help us conceptualize and understand the abstract reality [Lakoff, Johnson 2003/1980/; Kövecses 2010/2002/]. John Henry Newman’s Parochial and Plain Sermons [1834- -1843] constitutes a set of eight volumes of sermons preached in the years 1828-1845 in St. Mary’s Church in Oxford by an outstanding Anglican philosopher, theologian, writer, and academic of the Victorian era, who later converted to Roman Catholicism. The article focuses on the cognitive-linguistic aspects of identification and classification of the various conceptual metaphors for GRACE in Newman’s sermons. The metaphors are illustrated with examples of the lexical correlates found in the analyzed material. In his sermons, Newman conceptualizes grace metaphorically either as different kinds of INANIMATE THINGS: A CONTAINER, AN INSTRUMENT or MEANS, A GARMENT, A TREASURE and A GIFT, as A TRADED COMMODITY, A LIQUID, FOOD AND DRINK, and A BUILDING, as A PLANT, or as A PERSON: A KING, AN INHABITANT of a human being or the Church, as AN OPPONENT or ENEMY, as A GUIDE IN A JOURNEY, and as A PARENT. Additionally, GRACE is metaphorically viewed in the studied work as POWER, as A WAY IN A JOURNEY, and as LIGHT.

The present paper analyses metaphor and metonymy describing God in The Old Testament. Instances of these phenomena are approached from the cognitive perspective, suggested by Lakoff and Johnson (2003). The aim of this article is to show that the metaphorical and metonymical references to God in The Old Testament do not function as merely rhetorical devices, but are conceptualizations of God, grounded in people's everyday experiences. This fact plays an important role in the process of understanding the notion of God. The discussed metaphors and metonymies are classified into personifications as instances of ontological metaphor, structural metaphors, orientational metaphors and metonymies.
