The article focuses on the issue of describing a work of art in an essay. The paper presents ekphrasis and underlines the efficiency of an inter-artistic analysis in studying the phenomenon of ekphrasis. An interpretation offragments of Zagajewski’s and Pollakówna’s essays starts with presenting two works of art, The Music Lesson and Girl Interrupted at Her Music by Vermeer, from the perspective of art history. It is followed by a discussion of the verbal accounts of the paintings by Zagajewski and Pollakówna. Their contents and poetics are examined with special emphasis placed on the nature of the suggested description as it may focus on either the subject or the viewer, the representation itself or its connotations. Accordingly, it is suggested that the corresponding modes of ekphrasis should be labelled ‘denotational’ and ‘connotational’. In his description, Zagajewski resorts to an example of connotational ekphrasis whereas Pollakówna’s textual relation is a fine example of mixing the denotational and connotational facets of ekphrasis. The article presents specifi realizations of ekphrasis and the characteristic modes of perceiving works of art and describing them. It also shows how the observer’s subjective perspective and idiomatic style of expression manifest themselves.

The purpose of this article is to present the vocabulary describing migrants over the history of the Polish language. The author conducts quantitative analysis and describes chosen expressions. The research material consists of 73 lexemes collected from 12 dictionaries of the Polish language. It should be emphasized that the dictionaries mentioned contain both Old Polish and modern lexemes. The emphasis here was placed on the examples found in three dictionaries: „Słownik języka polskiego” edited by Zdanowicz et al. (19th century), „Słownik języka polskiego” by Jan Karłowicz, Adam Kryński and Władysław Niedźwiedzki (20th century) and „Słownik języka polskiego” edited by Witold Doroszewski (20th century). The dictionaries mentioned above contain the largest number of names referring to migrants. The considerations presented in this paper not only refer to the lexical level, but also to historical and societal motivations that have contributed to the emergence of new terms of this kind.

This paper is an extended Polish version of the article Emergenz, Spezifizitӓt und Entropie im Lichte der anthropozentrischen Linguistik, originally written in German and submitted for publication in the Germanica Wratislaviensia 144. First, a preliminary model of generating (specialized) knowledge will be proposed, which was built across anthropocentric linguistics, the concept of emergence and selected research in the field of neurobiology. The model is aimed at offering a possible solution to the problem of interdependence between human language skills and knowledge generating. Second, a redefinition of the terms specificity and entropy in the light of the anthropocentric theory of human languages will be outlined. It has to be highlighted that the present considerations are merely a theoretical draft which requires a more solid linguistic, philosophical and neurobiological foundation.

This article presents an attempt to fund Ontology of StanisOaw Leeniewski on a simple theory with one primitive relation “being denoted by”. Developed theory shows that to the linguistic model of the Ontology can belong only such general names that in their extensions have at least two objects (references) denoted by individual names.
PL
Artykuł jest próbą ufundowania małej, elementarnej Ontologii Stanisława Leśniewskiego na prostej teorii relacji „podpadania przedmiotu pod nazwę”. Skonstruowana teoria pokazuje, że do lingwistycznego modelu Ontologii mogą należeć tylko takie nazwy ogólne, które maja co najmniej dwa desygnaty mające swoje nazwy indywidualne.

In the article, the author focuses on the class of objects that the word metalanguage relates to. He points out that the expression used in the title can denote different sets of elements. He also tries to show that using the name metalanguage without specifying the way of understanding the word language, can lead to misinterpretation. At the end, he tries to explain why expressions like metacegła (eng. metabrick), metawiadro (eng. metabucket) should be considered as semantically incorrect.

The author defends the view that the notion of concept, if used in the logical (not cognitivist) tradition, should be explicated procedurally (i.e., not set-theoretically). He argues that Tichý’s Transparent Intensional Logic is an apt tool for such an explication and derives the respective definition. Some consequences of this definition concern the notions of emptiness, simple concepts, empirical concepts and algorithmic concepts.

The author presents part of the cross-disciplinary analysis of news media coverage on Polish politics, linked through its use of the rhetorical dispute strategy. Journalists turn to this category of dispute to describe politics and to report on it. The dispute strategy is implemented by both verbal and non-verbal communication elements (e.g. images). The author examines images and captions used to illustrate press reporting on events from the Polish political scene, published in three broadsheet newspapers: “Gazeta Wyborcza”, “Rzeczpospolita”, and “Dziennik. Polska, Europa. Świat” (from 2005–2009). The author analyses the chosen examples while referring to the theory of journalistic genres, and the semiotic and discursive perspectives.
PL
Autorka przedstawia wycinek interdyscyplinarnej analizy tekstów dziennikarskich poświęconych polskiej polityce, które łączy dominująca w przekazie retoryczna strategia sporu. Jest ona realizowana zarówno na poziomie werbalnym (tekstów gazety), jak i niewerbalnym (m.in. doboru fotografii). Materiał badawczy stanowią zdjęcia wraz z podpisami, które zostały wykorzystane do zilustrowania relacji prasowych poświęconych wydarzeniom z polskiej sceny politycznej. Wybór został zawężony do wydań dzienników opinii, to jest do: „Dziennika. Polska–Europa–Świat”, „Rzeczpospolitej”, „Gazety Wyborczej” z lat 2005–2009. Analizując wybrane przykłady, autorka odnosi się do cech i funkcji zdjęć prasowych w świetle teorii gatunków dziennikarskich oraz w perspektywie semiotycznej i dyskursywnej.

The paper concentrates on the problem of adequate reflection of fragments of reality via expressions of language and inter-subjective knowledge about these fragments, called here, in brief, language adequacy. This problem is formulated in several aspects, the most general one being: the compatibility of the language syntax with its bi-level semantics: intensional and extensional. In this paper, various aspects of language adequacy find their logical explication on the ground of the formal-logical theory of syntax T of any categorial language L generated by the so-called classical categorial grammar, and also on the ground of its extension to the bi-level, intensional and ex- tensional semantic-pragmatic theory ST for L. In T, according to the token- type distinction of Ch. S. Peirce, L is characterized first as a language of wellformed expression-tokens (wfe-tokens) - material, concrete objects - and then as a language of wfe-types - abstract objects, classes of wfe-tokens. In ST the semantic-pragmatic notions of meaning and interpretation for wfe-types of L of intensional semantics and the notion of denotation of extensional seman- tics for wfe-types and constituents of knowledge are formalized. These notions allow formulating a postulate (an axiom of categorial adequacy) from which follow all the most important conditions of the language adequacy, including the above, and a structural one connected with three principles of compositionality.

According to Ernst Cassirer’s views expressed in Philosophy of Symbolic Forms and Essay on Man a man is ‘a symbolic animal’, which means that: /1/ every meaning is symbolic, /2/ symbolisation creates the world but it does not reflect it, /3/ symbolisations are not individual but cultural, /4/ culture consists of ‘symbolic forms’, i.e., science, common sense, religion, magic, language and art, which create the world in different ways. Nelson Goodman in Languages of Art and Ways of Worldmaking developed Cassirer’s view towards more radical epistemological pluralism and changed his semiotic assumption. Cassirer accepted Frege’s understanding of symbolisation as a relation between three elements: a symbol, its meaning and a denoted object. For Goodman symbolisation is a two-element relation: between a symbol and an object, without the category of meaning. Symbols can denote or exemplify or refer to objects in complex and indirect ways. The paper aims to address the problem of the efficiency of that categorisation.

Wychodząc od Heideggerowskiej koncepcji domu jako mieszkania, autorka rozwija koncepcję języka ojczystego jako domu. Podstawową perspektywę stanowi opozycja swój obcy w czeskim językowym obrazie świata. Wyłaniają się z niej centra konotacyjne związane z domem i językiem ojczystym, które analizowane są kolejno: matka, rodzina, wspomnienia z dzieciństwa oraz ojczyzna (jako przeciwieństwo obczyzny), zrozumiałość, prostota i naturalność (w przeciwieństwie do obcości, języka obcego), podkreślenie cielesności, zmysłowości i emocjonalności doświadczenia w języku ojczystym. Wiąże się z tym nacisk na konotacje, w porównaniu z wyłącznie denotacyjnym charakterem wyrażeń w języku obcym. Te zagadnienia semantyczne językowo i kulturowo osadzone są w pojęciu języka czeskiego jako ojczystego i odgrywają znaczącą rolę także w pojęciu ojczyzny w czeskim językowym obrazie świata. Widać to w szczególności w tekstach artystycznych. Odpowiada temu koncepcja ojczyzny jako „ojczyzny znaków, ojczyzny językowej” w koncepcji czeskiego odrodzenia narodowego, którą formułuje czeski historyk literatury Vladimír Macura.

Proceeding from Heidegger's concept of home and residence this study is concerned with mother tongue as home. The basic perspective is provided by the opposition of “own and foreign” in the Czech linguistic picture of the world. From it arise also the connotational centres connected with (home and) mother tongue that are progressively examined: mother, family, memories of childhood and homeland (as against “foreign lands”), comprehensibility, simplicity and naturalness (as against “foreignness, foreign language”), accentuation of corporeality, sensuality and emotionality of the experience in the mother tongue (linked to this is also an emphasis on connotations as against an [only] demonstrative character of denomination in a foreign language). These semantic aspects are linguistically and culturally anchored in the concept of Czech as mother tongue and play a significant role also in the concept of homeland in the Czech picture of the world (as shown in particular in artistic texts). Corresponding with this is the concept of homeland in “the homeland of signs, the linguistic homeland” in the concept of the Czech national revival, as formulated by the Czech literary historian Vladimír Macura.
