The present article deals with the concept of 'fear' as one of the fragments of the emotional concept-sphere verbal representation in M.Kotsjubinsky's works. Different types of metaphoric model and their components used by the writer are presented. The stable socio-cultural and authoress' individual approach to the metaphorisation process of the concept of 'fear' are analyzed.

The aim of the article is to present comparatively the fragment of the world view (connected with concept of life) in the Polish language and in the idiolect of Jan Twardowski's poetry. The interpretations are based on Langacker's network model, on Lakoff and Johnson's cognitive model of metaphors and on the proposals of Polish authors about using cognitive methods in interpretation of poetry. The conceptualization of life (connected with the conceptualization of death) can be described both as commonplace (gr. topós coinós) – life is road, and as cognitive metaphor: LIFE IS ROAD / JOURNEY. The paper presents different particular realizations of this metaphor in the Polish language and in Twardowski's poetry. The analyses are carried out with the use of profiling method. The most characteristic for Twardowski's idiolect is the religious profile of life, conceptualized as a road (journey) to Heaven (God). So, the religious profile is the kind of metaphor LIFE IS ROAD / JOURNEY TO HEAVEN / GOD. This profile is often connected with the profile of heaven. The analysis shows that in Twardowski's poetic language, otherwise than in the everyday use of Polish language, a life which is hard and dangerous (as a road to God) is more valuable than a life which is easy and simple.

This paper deals with a characteristic structural feature of a group of Hungarian folk songs: their initial image or point of departure (known as 'sill') involving some phenomenon of nature. In the framework of the theory of cognitive metaphors and taking principles of linguistic pragmatics into consideration, the authoress intends to support the claim that the metaphoric expressions of those initial images can be traced back to certain cognitive metaphors. She discusses the most frequent forms of spatial metaphors (a subtype of orientation metaphors that are in turn a type of cognitive metaphors), as well as their ranges of meanings, primarily in terms of binary oppositions like near vs. far, up vs. down, upward movement vs. downward movement, centre vs. periphery, telicity vs. atelicity, as well as conceptual domains like wide vs. narrow perspective and degree of spatial saturation. The paper concludes with raising a number of issues for future research in both text linguistics and folklore studies.
