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.

METAPHORS AND HISTORY IN SLOVAK DOKUMENTARY

100%
EN
According to Lakoff’s and Johnson’s theory of conceptual metaphors, metaphors provide a partial understanding of one kind of experience in terms of another kind of experience. Therefore they help us to understand our present and/or our past reality. In his Metahistory, Hayden White states historians often approach their topic topologically pre-figuring it. By choosing a predominant trope they see history through, they choose also the genre for their writing. Referring to these works on tropes, we study several creative methods that appear in contemporary Slovak historical documentary. From “cans of time”, a metaphorical concept of cinematographic memories, presented by Marek Šulík, through the oeuvre of Peter Kerekes in which the metaphor is used as an element of structure, to debuting Anabela Žigová or Vladislava Plančíková who use metaphors to reflect on historical research, Slovak authorial documentaries represent a very inspiring metahistorical material.

The aim of this article is to present the role of conceptual metaphors in motivating meaning(s) of selected idiomatic expressions. According to the cognitive paradigm, meaning equals conceptualization and the function of metaphors is to facilitate cognitive processes. Thus, the semantic pole of, at least some, metaphorical expressions and idioms can be derived from the scope of metaphor, which, by the same token, constitutes the general meaning of idiomatic expressions. However, contrastive studies seem to substantially delimit the range of metaphorical motivation. Namely, it appears that experiential primacy should be given to image-schematic and ontological metaphors, which emerge as most universal in cross-linguistic studies.

Metaphors have always been a common aspect of communication in political and media discourse. The study deals with the occurrence and importance of conceptual metaphors in the political newspaper Pravda in the 2nd half of 1960 ́s regarding to the dynamic historical and political development of the period and the formation of ideology. The results of the research reflect the shift in the meaning and application of conceptual metaphors as a result of the advent of A. Dubček ́s reform government, the invasion of the Warsaw Pact forces into Czechoslovakia and occupation of the country, and the gradual formation of the normalization process by 1970.
