This paper aims to provide an account of Old English similes of equality marked by the superlative degree of the adjective gelic. It deals with the structure and semantics of similes marked by the (ge)/(on)licost component, which, unlike in Modern English, being subjected to gradation, can show the highest degree of similarity between referents. The article presents the criteria for structural classification of the simile in question describing two major structural types, that employ nouns in the dative or nominative case, as well as its semantic interpretation from macro and micro levels of perspective. The paper examines every simile with the (ge)/(on)licost component found in Old English manuscripts belonging to various textual genres.

This paper presents a phenomenon that has attracted little attention despite being relatively frequent and very productive in spoken language. The aim of this study is to prove that the ‘ADJ as NOUN’ frame, which is commonly used to form comparative phrases and similes, is also employed to intensify the meaning of predicative adjectives in both English and Czech but without the element of comparison. This study analyses data from two spoken corpora; the Spoken BNC2014 for English, and ČNK — ORAL_v1 for Czech. The corpus data serve as evidence confirming the existence of this pattern as a distinct entity with its own functions alongside being used in comparisons and similes. The results further show that both languages display semantic incongruence between the adjectives and nouns co-occurring in this structure. However, each language uses nominal elements from different lexical fields. Finally, the paper discusses potential issues of interpretation and the general motivation behind the usage of intensifying post-modification.

The scope of this paper is a problem of a simile including a proper name. As it was claimed by Lech Krajewski, it is possible to create a simile on the basis of selected, stereotypical features of object names. This characteristic is clear when it comes to similes with proper names. Such similes are, as well as metaphors and words-from-names, one of the most important connotative expressions that were taken under consideration during the work on “A Dictionary of Proper Names, Metaphors and Connotaions’’.

The article explores the explications of the TEACHER and STUDENT concepts based on the analysis of similes in the works of Ivan Franko and Charles Dickens. Terminological apparatus for the analysis of similes are model images, donor and recipient spheres. The universal and ethno-cultural components of the Ukrainian and British linguocultures are singled out based on the comparison of similes.

Aparat terminologiczny w analizie porównawczej stanowią obrazy-etalony, strefy dawcy i biorcy. Dzięki zestawieniu jednostek porównawczych wydzielono uniwersalne i etnokulturowe składniki ukraińskiej i angielskiej kultury językowej.
