In Book IX T, D alliteration amounts to 21,8%, M, N – 16,8%, in Book X the most frequent alliteration is T, D – 21,2%, then M, N – 12,9%. In Book XI the first place belongs to alliteration T, D – 14,08%, M, N – 13,7%. In Book XII it is M, N alliteration that prevails – 16,4%, next we have T, D – 12,7%. In Book XIII the first place goes back to T, D alliteration – 17,8%, then we have M, N – 14,8%. In Book XIV, the same as in Book XII, the predominant alliteration is M, N – 22,2%, followed by T, D – 19,5%. The same tendency is also apparent in Book XV, with the most numerous alliteration being M, N – 22,5%, followed by T, D – 22,4%. The most important alliterations play a variety of roles in Books IX–XV. They describe the metamorphoses, e. g. Iphis changing into a man, Hippomenes and Atalanta into a lion, Acmon into a bird etc. They express great passions and the death of the protagonists. The alliteration clusters are found in the apotheosis of Romulus and Augustus, as well as the immortality of Heracles. Ovid uses them to describe the elements, such as the flood or sea storm, and powerful animals.
The purpose of this article is to identify and describe an important research area, which has still not been developed in Polish media studies, namely animal studies. Many researchers discuss problems that are covered by cultural animal studies, a research area developed dynamically in the West, and still not very advanced in Poland. A critical analysis of literature made it possible to introduce the works of foreign authors and identify gaps in the knowledge, as regards Polish literature in the area of Critical Animal and Media Studies. The list of research areas, as well as the methods that can be used in media studies, closes with an overview of animal narratives in media coverage of disasters. The multidimensionality of animal narratives will be discussed through the prism of stories told by journalists covering the aftermath of floods, mudslides, fires, earthquakes and hurricanes in the last two decades. Those stories were filled with metaphors based on the persuasively powerful images of domestic and wild animals.

Celem artykułu jest określenie istotnego obszaru badawczego, który w polskim medioznawstwie wciąż nie doczekał się opracowania, choć wielu badaczy podejmuje w swych pracach problemy wpisujące się w nurt bardzo aktualnych i rozwijanych z impetem na Zachodzie, a w Polsce wciąż niezbyt zaawansowanych, kulturowych studiów nad zwierzętami (animal studies). Krytyczna analiza literatury pozwoliła przybliżyć prace zagranicznych autorów oraz zidentyfikować luki w polskim piśmiennictwie z obszaru Critical Animal and Media Studies. Wskazanie obszarów badawczych oraz metod medioznawczych badań zamyka przegląd narracji, których bohaterami są zwierzęta, w medialnych relacjach z kataklizmów. Wielowymiarowość zwierzęcych narracji pokazana zostanie przez pryzmat historii, jakie z pomocą metafor wykorzystujących wizerunki domowych i dzikich zwierząt opowiadali dziennikarze relacjonujący w ostatnich dwóch dekadach skutki powodzi, lawin błotnych, pożarów, trzęsień ziemi i huraganów.
