Images of death in poetry of Halina Poswiatowska

100%
EN
The article presents conceptual metaphors that underlie images of death in Poswiatowska poems. The images of death are built on personification of death and metaphors: death is departure, people are plants (and death is end of plant's vegetation). All these metaphors function in everyday language but the poet uses them creatively and builds her own vision of death especially interesting when based on plants' domain. In this case the image emerges not as a result of a simple one way mapping between source and target domains but it is constructed by their interaction. It is constructed by the author and must be re-constructed by a reader in the process of poem reception.

The authoress analysed those idioms from poems of J. B. Zaleski that contain at least one element connected with colour. The linguistic analysis of the text aimed to characterise the language of the poet and to compare idioms from XIX and XX century. Idioms provide information about stereotypes, also those connected with colours. Simile idioms (the term still discussed among linguists) vividly underline intensity of a feature (white as dove 'bialy jak golab'; white as snow 'bialy jak snieg'). The study showed that Zaleski often modified traditional form of idioms and some of them were of biblical or mythological origin.
