The Central Andes of Peru and Bolivia belong to those areas of the world whose linguistic landscape has been shaped decisively by language contact. Scholars have long recognized the intricate similarities between the Quechuan and Aymaran languages, and the consensus view is to attribute these to convergence arising from long periods of stable bilingualism in prehistory. As more recent research shows, also the languages of Northern Peru were shaped by language contact before their extinction. As a result, contact effects need to be taken into account as a general factor in studies of the linguistic history and prehistory of the Central Andes since without them crucial aspects of the lexical and grammatical structure of Central Andean languages cannot be properly understood. Thus, language contact constitutes a privileged and overarching point of access to understanding the linguistic prehistory of the region as a whole.

The subject of the analysis in this article are Danish word formations with the prepositions mellem ‘between’, over ‘above’ and under ‘under’, considered from the point of view of cultural linguistics. The forms studied represent a productive word formation model, therefore they include numerous semantic categories, and prepositions which constitute an element defining compounds show more semantic functions than the prepositional phrases generated by them. Semantic characteristics have allowed the following facts to be established. There are differences in the way and scope of perceiving reality and in its linguistic expression between the Danish and the Polish languages: compounds with mellem refer to those fragments of reality which are not linguistically expressed by the Polish language. Tokens with the prepositions over and under clearly show an anthropocentric nature, which is confirmed additionally by the deictic nature of some forms. Compounds with all prepositions perform transposition of spatial relations into abstract relations thanks to which they acquire a new function, that of assessing and evaluating exponents. The word formations discussed summa summarum result in a different, more detailed image of reality than in the Polish language.

The author of the article presents the current state of discourse studies conducted by Polish language scholars. The starting point is an assumption whereby the conceptualisation of the discourse category and the nature of its analyses have been influenced mainly by two research traditions: text linguistics and functional stylistics as well as concepts of text and style developed by them. The pragmatic definition of a unit of text and the anthropological-cultural definition of style, both deeply rooted in Polish linguistics, have determined a specific — at least in some respects — approach to the category of discourse. The author notices this specificity in the conceptualisation of discourse (considering this category to be a unit from the idealisation plan, modelling specific interactions), in the research tradition (rooting discourse studies in the structuralist paradigm of functional stylistics), in the strong link to the methodology of contemporary, communication-oriented stylistics, the close association with the Polish concept of ethnocognitive linguistics, references to the conclusions of Polish linguistic genre studies, relations with sociolinguistics and, more broadly, public communication studies, finally — in references to contemporary schools and branches of international discourse studies. These links make it possible to carry out a multi-aspect review of discourse and include the perspective of Polish language studies in research in other disciplines of the humanities.

This article aims at analyzing the linguistic aspect of ethnicity from the perspective of anthropological linguistics (Fedorak 2017). We interpret an ethnic stereotype as an idealized cognitive model (ICM) consisting of metonymic submodels containing properties stereotypically attributed to a given ethnic group. Each of the subset models can serve as a basis for creating an attributive ethnonym, i.e. an ethnic name that refers to a particular attribute assigned to the target group. Although contemporary attributive ethnonyms are mostly seen as dysphemisms, it is ultimately context—taking into account situational, social and cultural determinants—that determines their axiological charge.

The paper attempts to synthesize and revise the views on wishing and congratulating as specific speech acts which are represented in Polish by the performative verbs życzę, życzymy ‘I/we wish’, winszuję, winszujemy ‘I/we congratulate’, by optative formulas based on aspect operators (niech, oby, aby, żeby ‘let’, ‘so that’ &c.), and sometimes also by imperative sentences. It examines the conditions of fortuitousness of the wishes and their illocutive value, and especially the quite questionable honorific function of wishing formulas, and their connection with the linguistic relics of primitive magical thinking. The proposed interpretations emphasize the cultural and pragmatic function of wishes, rooted in history and tradition.

Celem artykułu jest refleksja nad rozwojem badań z zakresu szeroko pojętej lingwistyki kulturowej w opraco waniach germanistycznych. Na zebranym korpusie tekstów kluczowych dla rozwoju lingwistyki kulturowej w badaniach germanistycznych pokazano, w jaki sposób definiowany jest język i kultura w kontekście ich wzajemnych relacji. Omówiono również określenia pojawiające się w literaturze, którymi posługują się lingwiści do nazwania swoich badań, by w dalszej części na przykładach z dwóch kręgów badawczych zilustrować, jakie cele stawiają sobie lingwistyka antropologiczna ( antropologische Linguistik ) i lingwistyka analizująca kulturę ( kulturanalytische Linguistik ) oraz jakie stosują metody w analizie materiału językowe go. Artykuł kończy podsumowanie tendencji rozwojowych omawianej subdyscypliny lingwistycznej oraz komentarz interlingwistyczny.

The aim of the article is to reflect on the development of research within broadly understood cultural linguistics in Germanic studies. The collected corpus of texts of key importance for the development of cultural linguistics in Germanic studies shows how language and culture are defined in the context of their mutual relations. The article also discusses the terms used in the literature by linguists to define and describe their research, in order to use the examples from these two fields to illustrate the aims of anthropological linguistics (anthropologische Linguistik) and cultural linguistics (kulturanalytische Linguistik) and the methods used to analyse the linguistic material. The article ends with a summary of developmental trends in the discussed linguistic sub-discipline and with an interlinguistic commentary.

In 1923 Bronislaw Malinowski repeated his claim for an "Ethnolinguistic theory" which he enforced 1920 in his first linguistic paper and which became the guideline for his "ethnographic theory of language." In 1997 the linguist William Foley published his monograph "Anthropological Linguistics-An Introduction"; and in the same year the anthropologist Alessandro Duranti published his monograph "Linguistic Anthropology." It seems that with the publication of these two standard textbooks the interdisciplinary field of "ethnolinguistics" has finally gained its due importance within the disciplines of anthropology and linguistics. Bill Foley states in his textbook that "the boundary between pragmatics and anthropological linguistics or sociolinguistics is impossible to draw at present." So if we recognize Bronislaw Malinowski not only as one of the founders of modern social anthropology but also as one of the founding fathers of anthropological linguistics, we should have a closer look at Malinowski's importance for pragmatics in general. This paper presents Malinowski's contributions to the ethnographic theory of language, assesses his role as an apologist of anthropological linguistics, and discusses his influence (not only) on (new) developments in linguistic pragmatics.

Any communicational grammar may be viewed as a linguistic study concerned with rules responsible for efficient communication, and can be used as a tool for researching almost any issue that falls under the term political linguistics-a sub-field of linguistics which analyzes how ideologies are put into service to legitimate power and inequality. From the linguistic point of view we would perceive discourse to be a dynamic and changing phenomenon, profoundly rooted in its nonverbal context. The core of any discourse is established by particular texts formed by their speaker/writer. The meaning of the texts and their decoding by the hearer/reader seems to depend to a great extent not only on the cognitive processes that take place in the mind of the information receiver but also on the contextual embeddings which are: a) the situational embedding, that is where the text is produced (here: in what type of co-texts the text is situated); b) the social embedding, that is within what social group the text is produced (here: to what type of readers the text is directed to); and c) the cultural embedding, which is apparently the most difficult to grasp, for it directly translates into what we understand under the nebulous term culture (here: what is the cultural preparation of readers who are going to receive the text). The cultural embedding of texts should be held responsible for the projected associations it may induce in the receiver of textual messages and at the same time types of nonverbal cultural scripts and schemata that are supposed to accompany a verbal text. In light of the above, a model in which one has certain verbal texts that trigger certain socially and culturally specific behaviors can be called the communicational grammar of a particular discourse.

The author reviews contemporary cultural linguistics (as one of the fields of anthropological linguistics) in two Slavic countries: Poland and Russia. The first part of the article discusses the general theoretical foundations of cultural linguistics, as well as the circumstances in which it was established in Poland and Russia (USSR). In the second part, the author discusses the distinguishing features of both linguistic traditions. So he writes that in Russia, researchers are more interested in linguoculturology, in particular in the description of concepts and the so-called konceptosphere. In Poland there is a stronger tradition of researching folk culture, folk psychology and folk language, for this reason the methodology of Polish research is based to a greater extent on empirical procedures, such as field research and surveys.

The paper presents an anthropolinguistic study of Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign discourse. The study can be situated within the scope of political linguistics. The interdisciplinary method of research applied here rests upon the understanding of human communication functioning in terms of communicational grammars of specific discourses that comprise rules of language use set against the background of immediate contexts of use. The key idea underbracing this study is that language is a rule-governed, conventions-based system of practice (e.g., de Saussure [1916] 2011, Sapir 1921, Hymes 1972, Saville–Troike [1982] 2003, Lucy [1996] 1999) and a conventional type of performance which allows for building a nexus of typified relations. Another overarching goal of this paper is to show that human interaction is mostly both a structurally hardwired and functionally (pragmatically) driven linguistic practice. The analysis sets out to explore Donald Trump’s texts according to the Anthropolinguistic Model of Communication (AMC) (Strukowska 2022) as a pattern recognition model that provides a contextual overview of elements of communication and functions as a solid platform for documenting discursive practices (Chruszczewski 2011: 199–263).

This article explores the linguistic worldview of a Ukrainian poet – postmodernist Yuriy Andrukhovytch – realized through the concept of “Christian sacred symbols” analyzed from the perspective of anthropological and cognitive aspects of lingual and cultural studies. It defines the essence and the ways of implementing the concept in the spatio-temporal continuum of poetry collection “India” as well as highlights the role of man in the poet’s imaginary world through the archetypes of the world culture and decodes symbolic meaning of cultural context of the author’s works. Contrary to a generally accepted view that the earth is round, spatial reality for the author turns out to be a planet which resembles a cake, a fl at surface, a desert, a kingdom and a bridge. The sky is seven crystal hemispheres, out lining the heavenly space with stars and planets fixed at each level. The space is represented by such geographical notions as East Asia, India, China, the river Nile. The author of the article supposes that India becomes for the writer the embodiment of our civilization at all times of mankind, another way to present man in the space of eternity, and a kind of life philosophy. The synthesis of pagan, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim and Christian ideas about man’s place in the world and his moral peace, happiness and overall love is represented by such symbols as angels, harpes, gehennr hell hrifony, dragons, percale books, lilies, honey, pythons, fl ags, birds, reptiles, saints, timpani, newts, tulips, furies, devils, Yuri’s sword, Yasmin and others.
