L’obiettivo dell’articolo è quello di analizzare i mezzi metaforici esistenti nella lingua italiana volti a verbalizzare le emozioni. L’analisi è stata effettuata ricorrendo alla teoria cognitiva della metafora di Lakoff e Johnson su un corpus che consta di risorse metaforiche convenzionali presenti nei dizionari italiani monolingue. Nello specifico si è cercato di delineare un quadro della concettualizzazione emotiva in italiano, riflettendo su problematiche quali i domini origine adoperati, i possibili limiti posti alla concettualizzazione, nonché l’immagine linguistica che scaturisce dalle emozioni.

Celem artykułu było dokonanie analizy metaforycznych środków ekspresji dostępnych w języku włoskim w obrębie werbalizacji emocjonalnej. Analiza ta została przeprowadzona przy odwołaniu do kognitywnej teorii metafory Lakoffa i Johnsona oraz w oparciu o korpus obejmujący konwencjonalne zasoby metaforyczne odnotowane we włoskich słownikach jednojęzycznych. W szczególności, Autorka skupiła się na odzwierciedleniu konceptualizacji emocjonalnej w języku włoskim, snując refleksję nad takimi problemami jak: domeny źródłowe, możliwe ograniczenia w ramach metaforycznego rzutowania oraz językowy obraz emocji.

This article is based on the results of a questionnaire survey conducted in a group of students from the Institute of German Studies at the University of Wroclaw, during a class on written translation. The survey provided me with material for reflection on the essence of the meaning of a linguistic sign, particularly the importance and meaning of the metaphorical expressions occurring in a text, as well as on the need to interpret the meanings of these expressions, based both on the language expertise and on the extra-linguistic knowledge, supported by context-related information. Experience shows that the primary meanings of words constitute just the base on which a reader or, in this case, a translator, builds their precise (or perceived) meanings, aided by all sorts of additional tips. The subject of translation, as well as of the questionnaire, whose questions referred both to the source text and to the translation itself, was a text by German writer Peter Maiwald, entitled Die Glücklichen, being a part of his Deutsche Miniaturen series. The survey results show, inter alia, that the students, although capable of summarizing, in general, the content of the Maiwald’s miniature, had problems with the interpretation of the scenarios to which Maiwald was referring in his text, as well as with the relevant knowledge of culture, history and the world.

The essay entitled On metaphor in Mariusz Sieniewicz’s prose portrays his works anew. Mariusz Sieniewicz belongs to the youngest generation of writers, the so-called ‘’1970s generation”. He has published two novels so far: Great-grandmother (1999), The fourth heaven (2003) and a collection of short stories We don’t serve Jewish ladies (2005). His prose impresses with unorthodox stylistics, makes us pay attention to the linguistic tone of words, makes us wonder because of its not literal and conveyed meaning. Sieniewicz’s works have an intertextual character, they clearly refer to Gombrowicz’s style or Bulgakov’s prose and other texts belonging to the literary tradition.

Establishing the canon of literary works created after 1989 remains an open question. We still lack a comprehensive, axiologically oriented picture of Polish literature of the turn of the centuries. The case of Marcin Świetlicki’s poetry seems a particularly compelling issue in this context. His poetry is popular and continues to enjoy wide readership as well as it receives extensive appreciation among literary critics. At the same time one can effortlessly find in Świetlicki’s works expressive poetic gestures aiming at highlighting its distinctiveness, consciously undermining the possibility of accord between a community and an individual. In the face of this paradox the identity of the experience of modernity proves to be the crucial element which establishes and conditions the basic pact concluded by the poet with his readers.

In Stefan Grabiński’s works, the artist often uses metaphors to attribute anthropomorphic phenomena to non-human ones. This sketch is an attempt to look at examples of anthropomorphic metaphors in Stefan Grabiński`s novellas in terms of their ideological and artistic functions. The aim of this analysis is to verify whether the use of anthropomorphic metaphors is connected with attributing created worlds with non-realistic properties. For this purpose, it is worth interpreting and explaining the treatments used by the author, including their linguistic aspect, asking the question about the relation between the employed stylistic means and the effect of the created image of reality, and about the consequences of this way of constructing the world presented in Grabiński’s works.

PL
W niniejszym artykule została omówiona metafora i przeprowadzona analiza metafor w dyskursie edukacyjnym. Autorka, opierając się na założeniu o wszechobecności metafory, przyjmuje szeroką definicję pojęcia i poddaje analizie przykłady wykorzystania metafory. Metafory pojawiają się w kontekstach szkolnej codzienności: w relacjach między nauczycielami i uczniami, przekonaniach dotyczących procesu nauczania i uczenia się czy też w materiałach edukacyjnych. Zaprezentowane rozważania mają na celu przede wszystkim przypomnienie, zaakcentowanie, iż metafora posiada nieocenioną wartość heurystyczną i może odgrywać ważną rolę w edukacji. Autorka podejmuje kwestię funkcji i walorów wykorzystania metafory w edukacji, podkreślając przy tym nadużycia lub niewłaściwe użycie metafory.

The aim of the article is to consider the effectiveness of a cognitive linguistic approach towards teaching words characterized by many meanings. Traditional linguistics views lexical ambiguities in terms of ho-monymy, i.e. the phenomenon where two or more words happen to be written or pronounced the same way, while cognitive linguistics regards the fact in terms of polysemy whereby the meanings are system-atically related. The results of a pilot experiment serve as the point of departure in the present article. The preliminary experiment, which was carried on Moodle platform, involved two groups of participants. The control group was asked to memorize body-related items, while the experimental group was presented with the cognitive rubrics with the purpose of rising students’ awareness of metaphorical motivation binding the words. The average score higher in the post-test in the experimental group supported the hypothesis that drawing learners’ attention to the embodiment and imaginativeness of language by emphasising the cogni-tive mechanisms based on metaphor, i.e. experiencing one kind of thing in terms of another, and metonymy, using one thing to indicate another that is related to it (G. Lakoff/ M. Johnson 1980) enhances linguistic entrenchment.

The aim of the present article was to present the English word right as an example of radial category and to show the polysemious nature of the word. Polysemy is the phenomenon when a word has more than one meaning and the meanings can be brought to the main one - named prototype. On the basis of numerous examples collected from dictionaries of contemporary En¬glish language and language corpora of both, British and American, and etymological and histori¬cal analysis, the polysemious nature of the adjective right has been described. The article was written based on the assumptions of cognitive linguistics, and special attention was paid to the phenomenon of metaphor, which, as shown in the above analysis, often occurs in the uses of the word right.

Summary This article discusses the use of the conceptual theory of blending in the creation of various animated animals known from pop culture. It concerns a central mental ability, one that blends two different frames of thought in order to create an original emergent structure. The examples chosen for the analysis differ greatly in terms of their structural complexity, their time of creation and popularity and their overall goals and target audiences. This working paper acknowledges the difficulties which arise when trying to comprehend the aims of these cartoon characters or, if applicable, the comedic nature of their names and the names of the animated shows they represent.

The poetic sphere at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries is characterized by the predominant presence of authors of the oldest generations. This is a phenomenon which has never occurred in the history of our literature on such a scale. The fact that in the 1990s and after the year 2000, apart from the poets of the youngest generation and a few middle-aged ones, authors such as Miłosz, Herbert, Różewicz, Szymborska, Hartwig, to name only those of the highest rank, were and for the most part still are creating demands that several categories in the historical and literary as well as methodological and interpretational order be rethought. There arises a need for, as it were, double reading – interpreting texts with all respect for the integrity of the poetic word, but at the same time, keeping in view the existential essence contained in it, bearing in mind the fact that “late works” coincide with the time of unmasking - autobiographic disclosure. An attempt to reconcile the requirements of the form with the need for revealing the existential truth, the presence of convention with the frankness of confession, leads to elaboration of a specific usage of metaphors in the “late poetry”, oscillating between two mutually contradictory functions – disclosing and, at the same time, protecting the sphere of intimacy, through invoking literary conventionalized forms. Among them, those particularly exposed ones are: autobiographic, confessional, prayerful, testamentary gestures, ostentatious using of clear stylistic trails, references to metaphors of the river, journey, labyrinth, or the figure of the circle. Notwithstanding the fact that the texts are predominated by metaphors of withdrawal, resignation and departure, the oldest generations' poetry strongly reacts to various aspects of the contemporary reality, joins in the rhythm of the current cultural discourse, sometimes provides a more comprehensive diagnosis of the perspectives and risks of the turn of the centuries than that found in the works of younger authors.

O otwartości metafory

EN
The paper discusses the openness of metaphor seen from three perspectives: from the addresser’s perspective (the openness of metaphor as the possibility of creating new meanings and semantic games), the addressee’s perspective (the openness of metaphor as the possibility of making more or less extensive interpretations) and the researcher’s perspective (the openness of metaphor as the fuzziness of the borders between the literal and figurative meanings and the more and more extended manner of capturing the phenomenon of metaphor itself).

Artykuł dotyczy otwartości metafory ujmowanej z trzech perspektyw: nadawczej (otwartość metafory jako możliwość kreowania nowych znaczeń i gier semantycznych), odbiorczej (otwartość metafory jako możliwość dokonywania mniej lub bardziej rozległych interpretacji) oraz badawczej (otwartość metafory jako nieostrość granic między znaczeniem dosłownym i przenośnym oraz coraz szerszy sposób ujmowania samego zjawiska metafory).

The paper Women after a mastectomy in Poland. Private sphere, public sphere has developed the idea that the problem of women with breast cancer is not only their treatment, but a range of social and psychological processes that have an impact on their return to their working life. The organization Amazonki (“the Amazons”) plays an important role here. The objective of this paper is: the presentation of the experience of cancer within a private space in terms of treatment, psychology and sociology; the analysis of the passage of “cancer” from private sphere to public in a personal as well as an institutionalized dimension – the creation of Poland’s first cancer patients’ organization in 1987. This chapter Language barriers in talking about cancer discloses the origin of psychological – and also sociological – barriers in talking about cancer, as well as it explaines how this notion functions in language, i.e. decodes the meanings concealed behind that notion, both open and hidden, creating problems in usage. It is in language where the principle of denoting the world, expression and ritual takes place – it is possible to say in Wittgenstein’s words that the boundaries of language are the boundaries of our world.

Holism, Cognition and Metaphor

38%
EN
The study is to argue for a research framework for analysing the contents of linguistic expressions which is to suggest its holistic character. Each concept representation in a linguistic or mental system depends semantically on every other representation in the system which is a language. Everything we use in a language has meaning. It has meaning because it is either related to our bodily experience (concrete domain) or because it is built on other meaning-bearing elements (abstract domain). Thought then, is the embodiment of concepts from direct and indirect experience. At the same time, thought is imaginative because those concepts that are not directly grounded in bodily experience are created by imaginative processes such as metaphor. So, concepts grow out of either bodily experience or are created in mind through abstract reasoning and are understood in terms of those. Therefore cognition of dreams and emotions is holistic. At this point of research, the implications of holism about the meaning and understanding or expressing of dreams and emotions are explored and supported by empirical evidence.

Przedmiotem artykułu jest analiza treści wyrażeń językowych, która ma na celu zbadanie jej holistycznego charakteru. Każda reprezentacja pojęcia w systemie językowym i umysłowym zależy semantycznie od każdej innej reprezentacji w tym systemie, którym jest język. Wszystko czego używamy w języku ma sens ponieważ jest zarówno związane z naszym doświadczeniem ciała (domena źródłowa: konkretna) lub dlatego, że opiera się na innych znaczeniach elementów (domena docelowa: abstrakcyjna). Myśl jest więc ucieleśnieniem pojęć z doświadczenia bezpośredniego i pośredniego. Jednocześnie te pojęcia, które nie są bezpośrednio zakorzenione w doświadczeniu ciała są tworzone przez poznawcze i mentalne procesy, takie jak metafory, metonimie i idiomy. Tak więc pojęcia wyrastają z obu doświadczeń ciała lub są tworzone w umyśle poprzez abstrakcyjne rozumowanie i są rozumiane w tych kategoriach. Dlatego poznanie przykładowych tu marzeń i emocji jest holistyczne. Implikacje holistyczne dotyczące znaczenia i rozumienia lub wyrażania marzeń i emocji są omawiane w tym artykule i poparte empirycznymi przykładami. Podejście holistyczne do kognitywnej analizy metafor i metonimii jest źródłem cennych wniosków dla dyscyplin takich jak na przykład studia nad przekładem.

The paper presents a Cognitive Linguistic analysis of conceptualizations of evolutionary change of living organisms on the basis of the text of The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin. It has been established that the “scenario of evolution” proposed by Darwin to account for the emergence of new species is founded on conceptual metaphors of time and the Event Structure metaphor. It is demonstrated that the scenario of evolution receives the greatest elaboration as the metaphor EVOLUTION IS A JOURNEY. It can be safely assumed that the grounding of the scenario of evolution in conventional metaphors of time has triggered later application of the theory of evolution in areas of research outside the realm of biology.
