The author analyses the limits of metamorphosis, i.e. possibility of an utterance with idiomatic or non-conventional, disturbing selection requirements of syntagmatic components being considered as metaphorical. The phenomena of metaphor and metonymy are interpreted from the point of view of condensation of surface structure of a sentence, as well as from the point of view of intentional semantics. The author presents elements of metaphor theory as a pragmatic re-codification, treating metaphor as a kind of "multi-vocality" or an intertext.

The author discusses the problem of speech acts classification on the basis of the pragmatic function. The relevant elements of context, on the example control of the announcement directly to target addressee or to third parties, are also taken into account. The classification of speech acts proposed by the author has a dichotomous as well as a hierarchical character. The author distinguishes and describes the following types of speech acts: inventional vs. conventional; communicative vs. uncommunicative; polite vs. customary; representative vs. performative; expositive vs. verdictive; causative vs. deliberative; descriptive vs. declarative; directive vs. commissive; initiative vs. reactive; extentional vs. intentional; appellative vs. creative; cooperative vs. magic.

The application of linguistic theories and concepts as tools for analysis of literary works provides one of the most fascinating and illuminating insights into how they may be read, interpreted, and understood. This assumption underlies the objective of this paper in which I attempt to explicate an interpretation of Soyinka’s "The Trials of Brother Jero" through an application of the pragmatics tool of presupposition. Thus an attempt is made in this paper to present a linguistic analysis of the play by an examination of its meaning potentials in terms of presuppositions. In this regard, utterances of two major characters, Jero and Chume, his Assistant, are selected and analysed. It may be interesting to note that fictional characters express presuppositions as much as people in real life. Thus this study is a presentation of an interface between linguistics and literary works. In this linguistic study, literary discourse is exploited using the pragmatic concept of presupposition which underlines and underpins the explanatory adequacy of its explication. Stimulating insights are presented in the interpretation and understanding of Wole Soyinka’s "Trials of Brother Jero" as apiece of dramatic discourse which constitute and promote the interface of linguistic science and literary science.

The present work investigates the pragmatic aspect of meaning based on Russian and Polish phraseology with positive and negative emotional evaluation. Such kind of investigation helps to resolve various problems with lexicographical marks and create a new improved system of expressive marks. The authors think that the emotional evaluation can be defined with quite objective characteristics. The new type of classification is offered based on GLT (lexical-thematic groups).

Review: Sprachliche Säkularisierung. Semantik und Pragmatik, ed. Alicja Nagórko, Georg Olms Verlag, Hildesheim–Zürich–New York 2014, 466 pp.The reviewed collective volume falls within the stream of research on the language of religion, yet – unlike theolinguistics, which deals with different varieties of religious texts – the presented studies focus on the use of religious vocabulary in secular contexts. The studies deal with the processes of linguistic secularisation, sociology of religion, and above all – linguistics. The volume consists of twenty-six studies by scholars for Germany, Poland and Slovakia. Rec.: Sprachliche Säkularisierung. Semantik und Pragmatik, Hrsg. von Alicja Nagórko, Georg Olms Verlag, Hildesheim–Zürich–New York 2014, 466 S.Recenzowana monografia zbiorowa włącza się w nurt badań nad językiem religii, jednak w odróżnieniu od teolingwistyki, która zajmuje się różnymi wariantami tekstów religijnych, prezentowane badania koncentrują się na funkcjonowaniu religijnej leksyki w świeckich dyskursach. Tematyka tomu dotyczy procesów językowej sekularyzacji, badanych z perspektywy różnych dyscyplin humanistycznych: kulturoznawstwa, socjologii religii i przede wszystkim językoznawstwa. Tom składa się z 26 opracowań naukowych uczonych z Niemiec, Polski i Słowacji.

On this occasion we will try to approach a topic that is not mentioned in the grammars, despite being quite frequent in the Spanish language, especially in its colloquial variety: that of the lexical reduplication type café café or guapo guapo. We begin with the explanation and presentation of the phenomenon and then focus only on the lexical reduplication i.e. the repetition of whole lexemes. We will present its mechanism of quantification (Roca and Suñer 1998), the supposed origin (Paasch-Kaiser 2015), its presence in the corpus and the theories about the role it plays in the language (Escandell Vidal 1991). In the end, we will proceed with the explanation of this phenomenon in terms of pragmatics, above all, that of illocutionary semantics (Wierzbicka 1999) and linguistic ethos (Baran 2010a, 2010b; Kerbrat-Orecchioni 2005; Nowikow 2003, 2006).

(Non-)Honorific Ways of Referring to Public Figures in the Polish Media Discourse in LithuaniaThis article focuses on the ways of referring to public figures which involve the use of honorifics when talking about high-ranking representatives of society. In the Polish cultural tradition this function is performed by official and professional titles and the honorific pan/pani ‘mister/misses’. The study analyses designations used by participants of the discussion programme “Szósty dzień tygodnia” [The Sixth Day of the Week], which is broadcast on the Polish Radio “Znad Wilii” [By the Wilia River] in Lithuania. The research material includes 10 radio broadcasts aired in 2015 and 2016, featuring a total of 24 people (the host and 23 guests). The aim of the study is to identify the most frequently applied constructions that consist of personal names and official/professional titles, and to determine different functions of the honorific pan/pani in these constructions. The quantitative analysis makes it possible to identify the frequency of particular constructions and the tendencies prevailing in the media discourse. The qualitative analysis of the collected material reveals a variety of functions performed by the honorific pan/pani. Depending on the formal or pragmatic context, this item may endow a construction with a shade of respect or, conversely, make it derogatory. The female honorific pani firstly has a grammatical function: it is used with the titles and surnames which are masculine in form as the only indicator of female gender (e.g. pani prezydent, pani premier Szydło). (Nie)honoryfikatywne sposoby określania znanych publicznie osób w polskim dyskursie medialnym na LitwieTematem niniejszego artykułu są sposoby określania znanych publicznie osób w użyciu referującym z uwzględnieniem stosowanych środków honoryfikatywności, które przysługują im ze względu na wysoką rangę w hierarchii społecznej. W polskiej tradycji kulturowej taką funkcję pełnią tytuły funkcyjne i profesjonalne oraz jednostka honoryfikatywna pan/pani. Przedmiotem analizy są określenia używane w wypowiedziach referujących w audycji dyskusyjnej „Szósty dzień tygodnia”, emitowanej w polskiej rozgłośni radiowej „Znad Wilii” na Litwie. Podstawę materiałową stanowi 10 pochodzących z lat 2015–2016 audycji, w których uczestniczyły 24 osoby (prowadząca oraz 23 gości programu). Celem badania jest ujawnienie najczęściej stosowanych konstrukcji złożonych z antroponimów i tytułów funkcyjnych / profesjonalnych oraz ukazanie różnych funkcji jednostki pan/pani w analizowanych wyrażeniach. Zastosowanie w badaniu materiału metody ilościowej pozwala ustalić częstotliwość użycia poszczególnych konstrukcji i dominujące w dyskursie medialnym tendencje w tym zakresie. Dzięki analizie jakościowej można ujawnić różne funkcje jednostki leksykalnej pan/pani, która w zależności od uwarunkowań formalnych i pragmatycznych może nadać konstrukcji nie tylko nacechowanie godnościowe, lecz również deprecjonujące. Jednostka rodzaju żeńskiego pani w większości przypadków pełni przede wszystkim funkcję gramatyczną – przy rzeczownikach tytularnych i nazwiskach mających postać męską jest jedynym wyznacznikiem rodzaju żeńskiego, np. pani prezydent, pani premier Szydło.

The aim of this paper is to address the issue of teaching politeness in textbooks dedicated to learners of Italian as a foreign language. It is assumed that in today’s ever-changing world, full of conflicts and challenges of various kinds, polite communication has become of increasing importance as it helps overcome differences between the participants of the act of communication and promote a peaceful coexistence. Politeness is a phenomenon particularly sensitive to the situational context: the forms considered appropriate vary according to the parameters such as place, channel, age or status of the interactants. Since the complexity of politeness and the variability of its exponents make it difficult to teach, the purpose of this research is to analyze if and how the current textbooks of Italian deal with this aspect of communicative competence. The paper examines which aspects of politeness are taught and with what methods. The analysis is based on the selected textbooks of Italian published in Italy and Poland, in order to compare their approaches.

By using van Dijk’s concept of coherence and bringing it together with my Principle of meaning iconicity, we have a new way of looking at incoherence in texts. The principle says that closely related information is meaningfully related on a pragmatic level, an instruction to the reader to relate the information to each other. It is demonstrated by textual analysis that the concept of coherence can be used analytically by dividing it into first and second order coherence. First order coherence is the usual concept of coherence: sentences are connected by cohesive links and related by causality, time etc. Second order coherence is a way of organizing text by using incoherence as a way of organizing text into chunks of coherent parts. It is shown how readers can detect these structures in the text by detecting the incoherence even without the layout of the text to signal structure (e.g. indention of paragraphs).

It is a common misunderstanding that international lexical units have the same meaning in different languages. Yet, when we consider the use of international bound roots in Russian we can observe that their usage differs in several aspects from the usage of their equivalences in other languages (here: German). The most obvious aspect is, of course, a difference in meaning (semantic structure). However, there are more factors which lead to a different usage of international units in different languages. For example, we can see that the pragmatic marks of international units can differ because their use is determined by different factors and circumstances (frequency, text, social group etc.). Furthermore, an inter¬national unit can have a different function in conversation. We can conclude from these considerations that international units should be included in bilingual dictionaries.

In this article we focus on what discourse analysis brings to (im)politeness research. The paper begins by considering in more detail what is (im)politeness and why studying it in discourse is important. We then review some of the main approaches of discourse analysis that are employed in (im)politeness research. This is followed by two sample studies that illustrate some of the key challenges we face when analysing (im)politeness across different languages or different varieties of the same language. It can be seen that the shift in how (im)politeness is theorised over the past two decades has been accompanied by a move towards anchoring the analysis of (im)politeness in discourse. (Im)politeness is not something that should be attached to single utterances and its dynamic nature in discourse is what drives, in part, variability in evaluations of (im)politeness amongst users. It is also necessary to systematically examine not only whose understanding of politeness we are examining, but also on what grounds those understandings arise.

The objective of this study is to reflect on the Spanish time expressions that function as deictic elements. Deixis is a phenomenon strictly related to aspects of a pragmatic nature since it depends on the situational context in which the participants of the communicative act are. We want to search, discover and describe the pragmatic conditioning that determines the appearance and operation of this type of element in Spanish. Our idea is to demonstrate that in time deictic expressions the semantic content is not enough for speakers to use these expressions properly. It is necessary to resort to information that exceeds the level of meaning and find guidelines for the good interpretation of the expression in the situational and personal context. The group of time deictics is not heterogeneous from the formal point of view. It includes simple elements (for example, adverbs) and more or less complex elements (noun and prepositional phrases). We will focus on this second group and, above all, on the nominal constructions that include determinants and temporal adjectives since in this type of structure each constituent element performs a different semantic-pragmatic function and only the combination of these allows us to discover the definitive value of the set.

Although the concept of intuition has a central place in experimental philosophy, it is still far from being clear. Moreover, critics of that movement often argue that the concept of intuition in experimental philosophy does not correspond to the concept of intuition used in traditional, armchair philosophy. However, such a claim is problematic, because most attempts to define this concept are made with regard to the armchair philosophy’s point of view and not that of experimental philosophy. In the article I analyse the concept of intuition in experimental philosophy by taking into account its theoretical assumptions, and the research practice of its representatives. By analysing the most influential experimental philosophers’ views, I formulate its core characteristics. According to them, intuition is a mental state that is a reaction to the described case, which is revealed in the readiness to express a judgment about this case. Then, I investigate step by step the frequently postulated methodological, phenomenological, and etiological conditions that could narrow down the initial definition. I show that the only condition coherent with experimental philosophy’s assumptions and its practice is an etiological one, as the mental state that could be classified as intuition has to be shaped by pragmatic, and not only semantic factors. In the last parts of the text, I draw out some of the consequences of the position that I have presented, regarding the methodology of experimental philosophy and philosophy in general.

We begin our considerations with claiming that in the process of teaching a foreign language, the primary aim is to develop the pragmatic and communicative competence which means, among others, the ability to construct utterances that are correct and adequate for a particular communicative situation. The subject of this article is to present formal strategies concerning the act of apology, employed by Polish students in the process of learning Portuguese as a foreign language. Since the act of apology can be considered as one of the most essential acts of speech in communication, it is, therefore, important to verify which type of the act of apology is employed by students who are not native users of the Portuguese language.

issue 1(12) The Relational Turn in Sociology: Implications for the Study of Society, Culture, and Persons

302-328

EN

This paper proposes a relational and critical sociological perspective on discourse analysis, in particular on so-called “Critical Discourse Analysis” (CDA). The main argument of this paper is that CDA has not yet been able to turn its critical perspective towards its own field. Meanwhile, neither CDA nor other schools of discourse analysis can still pretend not to be integral parts of the system legitimizing social hierarchies in modern societies. The paper argues that discourse analysis can be seen as highly dependent on power relations, both because of its institutional positioning and because of its restricted reflexivity. A call for the development of a critical sociology of discourse analysis based on a relational approach is therefore presented. Its draft programme is largely based on inspiration from the sociology of knowledge, in particular from “the sociology of sociology” of Pierre Bourdieu.

This paper examines possible motivations for departures from canonical clause-final word order observed for the finite verb in Hindi-Urdu and other modern Indo-Aryan languages. Depiction of speaker attitude in Premchand's novel godān and the imperatives of journalistic style in TV newscasts are shown to be prime factors. The emergence of V-2 word-order in Kashmiri and other Himalayan languages may have had a parallel history.
