The present paper is a modest attempt at describing the conceptual basis and mechanisms of motivation traceable in selected army ranks in English, German, Polish and Czech. The linguistic development of army ranks provides an interesting insight into how the army organization and the relationships between army personnel (i.e. hierarchy) are conceptualized.

The classical rhetoric knows the notion of the rhetoric figures – thoughts and words. The conceptual figure (the term “conceptual” includes both “notioning” and “linguification”) is determined from a different point of reference – i.e. from text conceptualisation perspective. In such an understanding of the conceptual figure is mainly connected with inventio, and less with dispositio and elocutio, it is a specific conceptual amalgamation (blend) and a hiperonim for various tropic conceptualisations. In text it includes both micro- and macro-conceptual strategies.

This paper presents the Author’s method for describing prototype categories based on dictionary and corpora data. The case of the conceptual category ROBAK demonstrates that prototype theory’s standard and extended versions’ tools (distinguished by Georges Kleiber) are insufficient to reconstruct some conceptual categories. ROBAK is an example of an atypical category both collective and taxonomic. Within the approach presented in this paper the Author attempts to bring together the conceptualization of a prototype as a set of features and cue validity parameter as an indicator of importance of a single feature for the category. The Author proposes a set of steps leading to the reconstruction of the prototype structure of the category ROBAK. Those steps may also be employed to analyze other categories.

Emotions as abstract phenomena are not easy to verbalize. On the lexical level, they are most frequently thematized or expressed through imagery. The article aims at elucidating a rarely discussed problem of making emotions lingual employing sound phrasemes. Sounds and noises of animate as well as inanimate nature are in the centre of the cognitive explorations. The sounds and noises are metaphorically mapped on the abstract, hard-to-reach target domain of emotions. The analyses will be conducted on German and Polish phrasemes.

In recent years, linguistic studies have laid great emphasis on the semantic side of linguistic expressions. The subject of this paper is an attempt to introduce the term of “circular motion” in common verb patterns and set phrases in Russian and Polish. The description concerns the problem of creating metaphors based on circular motion verbs. The paper distinguishes between four metaphor types which have been presented by the comparative method between Russian and Polish.

This article is devoted to the uses of different Italian prepositions in expressions describing the same fragment of reality, as exemplified by: una ragazza dai capelli rossi and con una ragazza (i) capelli rossi, both referring to a red-haired girl. Situating the research in the field of Cognitive Grammar by R. Langacker (the relation between a trajector and a landmark) and based on the conception of pre-cognitive schema, the following hypotheses were verified: 1. preposition, as a relational category, reconstructs in a sentence the relation between the trajector and the landmark; 2. preposition, as a localistic category, illustrates the spatial and/or temporal mutual distribution of the trajector and the landmark; 3. the ordering of the trajector and the landmark does not necessarily reflect the order of perceived elements: the element expressed after a preposition can be a starting point to the perception of a scene; 4. differences in the choice of prepositions express different ways to conceptualize the same fragment of reality; 5. prototypical uses of prepositions refer to relational schemas and localistic pre-conceptual schema; 6.there exist asemantic uses of prepositions, as indicated by language users’ preferences; 7. each preposition has its own semantic invariant.

The developments in Cognitive Linguistics have made it possible to uncover multiple meanings of composite structures to the effect that more and more scholars have become interested in the issue of semantic relations in verb-particle constructions. With only a handful of those focusing on both elements of such constructions, many of them have directed their research towards the study of particles exclusively. The current paper aims to advance the study on phrasal verbs by offering a new outlook on their compositional nature. In order to achieve a desired aim, the principle of partial compositionality is adopted here. Hence, apart from focusing on both the verb and the particle, the senses that go beyond those comprising the composite parts receive considerable attention in this study. The phrasal verbs singled out for the purpose of the analysis include: get and take with selected spatial-orientational particles.

In the paper the critically discussed etymologies of the European words naming ‘human being’ served as means for establishing that the Slavic conceptualization: ‘human being is apart of community’ is an original innovation and differs from other European ones: ‘mortal being’, ‘earthling’, ‘wise being’. The metaphorical base for the Slavic conceptualization was inherited and common for the European tribes, who conceptualized the community of people as aclosely connected pseudo-plant organism. The Slavic mental worldview specificity consist in more consequent and more intensive elaborating of the concepts of different types of human communities within the category of collectiveness and making the latter aconceptual base for the interpretation of the concept of ‘human being’.

The issue of organizational boundaries is a problem discussed from the beginning of the development of the theory of management sciences. Today, it seems that this issue should be subjected to a new conceptualization due to the growing importance of multidimensional spaces in which enterprises operate and the erosion of traditionally interpreted boundaries. At the same time, the notion of a boundary itself is an ambigous concept that derived from and rooted mainly in non-management sciences. Therefore, research on organizational boundaries requires an interdisciplinary approach. In the Polish management science environment, the discussion on border issues is clearly visible, although this is not a question that dominates the mainstream. The aim of the article is to contribute to a scientific discussion in the field of conceptualization of organizational boundaries in the context of a changing reality. The article consists of an introduction, a part devoted to the analysis of organizational boundaries in the perspective of heterogeneous spaces and a part related to presenting the problem of the emergence of “new” boundaries. The whole is concluded with a summary. The article is a review based on interdisciplinary literature research.

This article aims to demonstrate the basic relationships at the level of spatial relations, in which the primary prepositional meanings translate into figurative language within the phraseological units containing the component su. The author attempts to answer the question as to whether the image schema, indicated as semantically crucial in the interpretation of the polysemy of this preposition, can affect the semantic motivation of the indicated units. The analysis leads to the conclusion that the impact is uneven, and does not apply to all patterns and relationships discussed.

The internationalization of higher education has become a strategic priority for governments because of the benefits expected to derive from it in the economic, political, socio-cultural and academic spheres. Nevertheless, a review of the academic literature on internationalization in higher education reveals that the concept of “internationalization” has been understood and applied in a variable manner. Considering that internationalization is a central theme in higher education research and practice, this state of affairs is problematic. In response to this situation, this article proposes the establishment of a conceptual typology for the analysis of national internationalization policies as a solution. In turn, such a heuristic device will ease knowledge accumulation, cross-case comparability and disciplined use of terms and procedures. The paper ends by dispelling common concerns related to classifications.

This paper proposes a common ground for discussion between linguistic and architectural production in the framework of some late Cognitive Theories of meaning construc-tion like Conceptual Metaphor Theory (from Lakoff and Johnson 1980) and Conceptual Integration Theory (from Fauconnier and Turner 2002). This common ground will be analyzed from formal plan making reference to Wittgenstein's linguistic thesis. For instance, understanding his architectural production in Palais Stonborough requires a realistic knowledge of the author's specific conception of a work of art as an object seen sub specie aeternitatis. In the author's view, this construal demands the nullification of the subjective component, since the work of art must aim to become an objective description of the totality of existing states of affair, which is the world. Thus, following Wittgenstein's conception of art, beauty emerges from the objectivity of the work in a process that must run on the side-lines of subject's mediation. We are confronted with an inclusive representational problem: Is this objectivity of the work possible as conceptually constructed and linguistically expressed by Wittgenstein in his written essays? To answer this question, we will conceptually analyze the two subcategories of linguistic plan and formal plan focusing on the way they project partial structure from the domains of object and of subject; our aim is to prove, applying feasible cognitive poetic and linguistic principles, methods, and models, that artful ideas that are linguistically valid in Tractatus cannot be directly applied to architectural production. We conclude that both plans are not really interchangeable.

The aim of this paper is to present interpretations of two poems by Jan Twardowski, entitled przepiórka [a quail] and wieczność [eternity]. The interpretations focus on the conceptualization of two opposite TIME categories, MOMENT and ETERNITY.In przepiórka, the poet describes two important moments in the life of a human being, the moment of birth and the moment of death. The moment of birth (the metaphorical east), occurring early, is white and light, whereas death comes at twilight (late) andit is dark. However, both moments are characterized as nude, sincere and pure. The uncovering of the axiological load in the description of these two moments plays a crucial role in the interpretation of the poem.In the poem wieczność, two lines are repeated three times: eternity was with us all the time / and it [only] seemed to us.These two lines provide the key to interpretation of the poem. The time spent on earth is viewed from the psychological perspective of human beings subjectively experiencing the passing of time. It seems to them that they have too little time and that theywaste it. The constant presence of eternity means that God accompanies them.Although the two poems focus on opposite time categories, they convey a commonmessage: everything human beings experience depends on God’s will.

Although Amazing Grace has become a popular song associated with the Englishspeaking culture, the notion of GRACE itself remains mysterious and vague. The problem is that being an abstract notion, grace is difficult to understand and describe even for theologians. This problem may be overcome by conceptual metaphors which help us conceptualize and understand the abstract reality [Lakoff, Johnson 2003/1980/; Kövecses 2010/2002/]. John Henry Newman’s Parochial and Plain Sermons [1834- -1843] constitutes a set of eight volumes of sermons preached in the years 1828-1845 in St. Mary’s Church in Oxford by an outstanding Anglican philosopher, theologian, writer, and academic of the Victorian era, who later converted to Roman Catholicism. The article focuses on the cognitive-linguistic aspects of identification and classification of the various conceptual metaphors for GRACE in Newman’s sermons. The metaphors are illustrated with examples of the lexical correlates found in the analyzed material. In his sermons, Newman conceptualizes grace metaphorically either as different kinds of INANIMATE THINGS: A CONTAINER, AN INSTRUMENT or MEANS, A GARMENT, A TREASURE and A GIFT, as A TRADED COMMODITY, A LIQUID, FOOD AND DRINK, and A BUILDING, as A PLANT, or as A PERSON: A KING, AN INHABITANT of a human being or the Church, as AN OPPONENT or ENEMY, as A GUIDE IN A JOURNEY, and as A PARENT. Additionally, GRACE is metaphorically viewed in the studied work as POWER, as A WAY IN A JOURNEY, and as LIGHT.

This paper critically negotiates the concept of the tourist landscape and proceeds, through a comparative cross-cultural empirical study, to test its basic conceptual premises in one upland and one seaside tourist destination, in Central Europe and in the Mediterranean. The conceptualization and employment of the term ‘tourist landscape’, in the social sciences and beyond, has been mostly intuitive and lacking a rigorous and broad-based conceptualization and empirical verification, incorporating its viewers’/users’ perceptions. On the basis of a conceptual model of the tourist landscape, the paper assesses conceptions and perceptions of the ‘tourist landscape’ and its constituent elements by tourists, locals, and tourism stakeholders in Zwierzyniec, Poland and Chios Island, Greece.

Aim. The aim of the article is to look for an answer to the question of whether it is worthwhile to deal only with happiness and to leave the exploration of quality of life as something which is not viable, or if it makes sense to deal with both phenomena. If so, what is the relationship between them? At the same time, we ask ourselves whether happiness and quality of life are perceived equally by people and are therefore interchangeable. Results. The answer is also confirmed by measuring the number of published articles monitored in the Web of Science. The quantification of happiness and quality of life implies that their correlation is high but not so high that they can be identified as the same. At the same time, if happiness and quality of life are different phenomena, it makes sense to deal with both. Method. The research was conducted using the face-to-face interview method. Conclusion. Happiness and quality of life, in terms of attention given to them by researchers, are quite different. We think mistakenly that they are the same on account of the preponderance of impression given to happiness in public space.

Polish stylistics of the last twenty years. She is concemed with the subject as the research object (subject in a text, discourse, genre) and as the research subject, which is the author of a scientific text in the stylistic field. She notices the changes have taken place in both of the above cases. In the former, the category of the subject has been redefined (from the grammatical to the personalized conceptualization of this category). In the latter, the transformations covered the objectives and problems of the research process (from analysis to interpretation). Apprehension of the subject as a person revitalized the research on individual styles, and simultaneously significantly broadened the scope of manifestation of what has a specific character in social interactions. Subject-centrism caused that, among other things, the stylistics became the open discipline, establishing a dialogue with other branches of humanities, and at the same time the subject has become an element that integrates various methodologies.
