This paper presents results from five studies that investigate how people perceive the distinction between facts and beliefs. The central question being asked is whether the features that distinguish the categories of facts and beliefs are distinct or overlapping. In each of the five studies, participants are presented with content statements and asked the degree to which they agree with a given statement, the degree to which they think others would agree with it, and whether the statement was a fact or a belief. From these ratings, six possible patterns were derived. The results showed that in many content areas the patterns that describe the statements they categorized as facts and those that they categorized as beliefs had considerable overlap. In addition, participant consensus as to which statements were to be considered facts versus beliefs varied from high to low depending on the specific content being evaluated.

The article discusses the issue of multilingual education, which was the subject of discussion and of many scientific studies especially in the late `90s of the last century. Today, due to migration changes, multilanguage education is becoming an important topic again. The authors of the article discuss the most widespread models and concepts of this type of an educational program, which have fund their application in many European countries, such as Germany, Sweden, France and Poland, where due to the current specifications and migration policy, it is appropriate to apply slightly separate models. The element accompanying the formulation of the appropriate education program can be any project whose practical purpose is to raise the awareness among student groups of the importance of the problems and to promote the so-called good practices that have already been developed, among others by Germany.

This article addresses the concepts in the book of poems The Midday by Antonina Belova, which was published in 2009. The author highlights the core concepts ("beauty", "faith", "love", "memory") and shows their internal connections. Semantic borders of the concepts are often blurred; their fields vary, forming a semantic and emotional unity, which includes the originality of poems by Antonina Belova.

The goal of this paper is a philosophical explication and logical rectification of the notion of concept. We take into account only those contexts that are relevant from the logical point of view. It means that we are not interested in contexts characteristic of cognitive sciences, particularly of psychology, where concepts are conceived of as some kind of mental objects or representations. After a brief recapitulation of various theories of concept, in particular Frege’s and Church’s ones, we propose our own theory based on procedural semantics of Transparent Intensional Logic (TIL) and explicate concept in terms of the key notion of TIL, namely construction viewed as an abstract, algorithmically structured procedure.

Pavel Materna proposed valuable explications of concept and conceptual system. After their introduction, we contrast conceptual systems with (a novel notion of) derivation systems. Derivation systems differ from conceptual systems especially in including derivation rules. This enables us to show close connections among the realms of objects, their concepts, and reasoning with concepts.

This article attempts to demonstrate the potential of semiotics for translation studies. Even though semiotic paradigms can be observed across certain theories advocated by translation scholars, it seems that a clear and integrated semiotics-based model of translation has not been developed yet. The hypotheses developed in the article may help to answer the question whether it is feasible to draw a relevant model of translation that would include categories for the most significant variables influencing the process of translation. To this end the article offers an analysis of various research models and discusses the potential of a semiotic framework of reference.

The aim of this article is to present and discuss selected results of a survey study conducted on the popularity and use of particular terms in the field of phonodidactic lapsology. The study shows that specialists in the field of teaching foreign languages and in the field of speech-language pathology use the same terms while referring to different kinds of errors. Also, the definition boundaries of individual lexemes are more or less blurred, depending on the case in which they are used (for example, substitution). Moreover, the definitions of particular lexemes are frequently not precise enough and vary depending on the area of study within which they are used. Due to the fact that one of the criteria for recognizing scientific terminology is its frequency, efforts were made to take a closer look at how teachers of Polish as a foreign language most often define errors made by foreigners which consist in replacing one sound with another.

CLIL has attracted the attention of LSP teachers worldwide and generated much literature. As a teaching and learning tool, it is frequently referred to in pedagogy, but a lot less in the epistemology of didactics. The present contribution aims to show how CLIL is an interface between conceptual research and practical implementation but that it cannot serve as a conceptual tool in the shaping of didactics as a field of research. Instead, concepts should be understood as context-dependent; they also vary with the subject matter to which language is connected (English for law differs from English for science) and therefore need the contribution of human sciences to emerge in their own rights.

The article analyzes one of the forms of nomadism in the intellectual world, which is called cultural transfers. One of the directions in the study of cultural transfers is the migration of concepts and notions between scientific knowledge (in this case linguistic) and literary experience (mainly experimental). The article is devoted to one of such migration trajectory from the perspective of interdiscourse methodology. We discuss the works of one of the agents of cultural transfer in the field of linguistics – R. Jakobson. The task of the article is to draw a trajectory according to which the linguistic concepts of Jakobson intertwine with parallel processes in literary (mainly poetic) experiments. The analysis concludes that precisely in connection with close contexts and transfers between poetry and linguistics, the Russian science of language represented by Jakobson develops a view of literature as a special language and a special communicative system. This trend is not typical for the Anglo-American linguistic tradition of the twentieth century, the quintessence of which in the middle of the century was represented in the theories of N. Chomsky and his circle.

This article presents a short analysis of two concepts – NEUROSIS and DISEASE1 – as used in the context of cognitive-behavioural psychotherapy carried out with two different patients. Drawing upon notions developed in Relevance Theory (Sperber and Wilson [1986] 1995), the analysis aims to provide conclusions useful to psychotherapeutic practice. The underlying proposal is that the psychotherapist’s awareness of the relevance-based features of concepts can help contribute to positive therapeutic results through the accomplishment of self-disclosure, transparency of meaning and emotional communication (Pawelczyk 2010, 62). Moreover, the analysis of the meaning of the concepts NEUROSIS and DISEASE may also be seen as supporting RT’s multilevel perspective on concepts. Different ways in which the concepts may be used in therapy are presented, including the literal, metaphorical and metonymical understandings.

The paper addresses the issue of compatibility between the speaker’s intention and the hearer’s expectations in a communicative act as an issue related to what I would like to call “intellectual empathy.” The immediate inspiration for the topic is the following quotation from Susan M. Ervin-Tripp (1964: 93): “The possibility of insult and of humor based on linguistic choices means that members agree on the underlying rules of speech and on the social meaning of linguistic features.” Langacker’s Cognitive Grammar allows us to accommodate the extra-linguistic facets of meaning construction, thus to identify the role of the speaker/hearer’s cooperation in the construction and reconstruction of meaning in a particular usage context, the role that is dependent on the degree of intellectual empathy between the speech act participants. English modals have been selected as an aspect of the language illustrating the relevance of linguistic choices resulting from socio-cultural determinants behind intellectual empathy.

Cognitive science can be divided into two streams: representational and non-representational cognitive science. Within the representational paradigm two approaches emerge: amodal and modal views. The goal of this summary is to review the main theories and interpret the status of linguistic semantics in these. Special attention is devoted in this summary to the theory of Perceptual Symbol Systems proposed by Barsalou (1999), which claims that conceptual processing is modality-specific. An opposing view is propagated by Fodor (1998), according to whom part of our elementary concepts are represented in unstructurable conceptual atoms; the latter are stored in modality-neutral (amodal) symbols. Last, an influential paradigm in cognitive science (Maturana and Varela’s radical constructivism) is presented, which totally dismisses the existence of representations.

This article refers to the category of assessment as part of the picture of the world in the media. Changes in the economic, political and social life are reflected in the language of mass media, which in particular, affects the scope of evaluation semantics, and which has a strategic character in the texts of journalism. Contemporary linguistic science enjoys consi¬derable knowledge about the category estimates of means of expressing values in speech, however ways of implementation, in other words - verbalization, the assessment category in the ever- changing conditions of mass communication (in public discourse) requires further research. The principle of value oriented content to a large extent dominated the journalistic discourse. Evaluation of meaning is formed due, firstly to stereotypes and characteristics of national way of thinking available to each nation, and secondly, the internal world of him or her and preferences of voice actors. From the above analysis it follows that journalistic text is characterized by a kind of axiological profile that contributes to the realization of its persu¬asive function.

Starting from the basic premises of Schank's (1998) notion of indexing in story telling and the representational approach of language (Saeed 1996, 2003), this paper investigates whether fairy tales create initial indexes for children, that may (not) be re-indexed later in adult life, by reshaping their pre-existing experiences. More specifically, it focuses on the way fairy tales present several concepts already familiar to children, and whether this representation matches children’s pre-existing experiences. The data collected comes from several of Grimm Brothers' fairy tales and consists of a corpus of 62839 word tokens. The fairy tales included were thematically related to general areas of everyday experience: femininity, blackness, whiteness, day, night, being young, ageing. The following semantically contradictory lexical pairs (listed with their text frequency) were examined in the expanded concordance, in relation to their collocations and semantic associations: ( 143) old - (58) young, (134) woman - (71) maiden, (116) day - (40) night, (63) white - (83) black. These were then compared with an adults’ and a children’s dictionary to check whether the collocations, semantic associations of the selected words as portrayed in the data, matched the societally accepted meanings found in dictionaries. The comparison indicated that, although the connotative meanings were included in the majority of denotative meanings that make up words' definitions in the adult dictionary examined, only five of them matched the connotative meanings of the words examined in the data. On the other hand, the way the above concepts/words were presented in the children’s dictionary, was very simple, probably reflecting children’s experiences. It seems, thus, that the concepts - at least some of them - presented in the fairy tales examined, do not “officially” relate to children's but to adults' experiences, functioning as an index that re-shapes children’s pre-existing concepts.

The discovery of mirror neurons and the characterization of their response properties is certainly an important achievement in neurophysiology and cognitive neuroscience. The reference to the role of mirror neurons in ‘reading’ the intentions of other creatures and in the learning process fulfils an explanatory function in understanding many cognitive phenomena beginning from imitating, towards understanding, and finishing with complex social interactions. The focus of this paper is to review selected approaches to the role of mirror neurons in mental activity as understanding, and to conclude with some possible implications for researches on mirror neurons for philosophical theories of understanding.

The paper adresses the problem of the need of balance between the static aspect (knowledge) and dynamic aspect (philosophizing) in the teaching of philosophy. The author indicates significant differences in teaching philosophy to adolescents and adults. The multitude of teaching issues specific to philosophy teaching, i. e. helping students in the creation of abstract philosophical concepts, requires the development of didactics of philosophy as an independent philosophical discipline.

The study of dynamic codes in various social and legal conditions and the problems of agnonymy in intercultural communication allow us to automatically assert that collective memory and a common past are the basis of socialism, language, as a true chronicler, records everything in its linguistic picture of the world. The informative value of a communicative unit is determined not only by its correlations with a specific denotate, but also by the specific emotional-aesthetic attitude of native speakers towards it, which are uniform manifestations in a given linguistic and cultural community. The scientific and technological revolution accelerates the processes leading to agnonymy (dynamics of vocabulary and connotative meanings, dynamics of printed forms, urban palimpsests, text modifications, etc.).

In the paper, the author attempts to explore the cognitive potential of literary proper names with regard to the fundamental role of one’s cognition in writing and reading literary texts. This cognitive approach to literary onomastics is intended to focus on the notion that the three aspects: semiotics, semantics and conceptuality of literary proper names are primarily dependent on the minds of writers and readers rather than solely on literary texts. Taking this into account, the author offers a theoretical framework – literary proprial concepts. He purports that the discursive activity of the participants of literary communication allows for imagining, shaping and developing literary proprial concepts assigned to literary proper names. In fact, it should be recognised that literary proprial concepts function parallel to name-bearers, as the former entities constitute the focal point of cognitive linguistics, while the latter – of philosophy
