The article gives a brief understanding of the metaphor within the modern theory of conceptual metaphor, as well as puts forward arguments substantiating semantic, syntactic and structural differences between the metaphor and the comparison. This is indeed important for the study of the figurative system of the Old Testament, since in translation many metaphors are given in the form of comparison. At the root of any metaphor lies the sense of analogy, which makes one look for links between most distant entities and not just between objects of the sensually perceived world, but also between concrete objects and abstract notions. A systematic analysis of the metaphor (based on texts of the modern Russian language) has shown that such links are formed in strictly defined directions. Moreover, they are countable and quite concrete as in the following pairs: object→object; object→man; object→physical world; object→psychic world; object→social world; object→abstraction; animal→man; man→man; physical world→psychic world. The extensive material analyzed in the article demonstrates that the Psalter, with all its semantic and stylistic sophistication and remoteness of biblical notions from modern ones, makes use of the same laws of metaphorization as we do today except for one crucial circumstance: anthropocentricity of the modern times is substituted with theocentrism, thus making the central object of the metaphor not man, as in modern languages, but God: But You, O LORD, are a shield for me; His wrath is kindled; Grace is poured upon Your lips; It is God who arms me with strength; The LORD my God will enlighten my darkness and so on.

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.

Metaphor, as a basic tool of our mind, allows us to tap the potential of a language grounding on the knowledge and imagination of its user; ascertain the new through the old and unknown through the known. Poetic metaphor, which is a carrier of information and tool of communication, is the object of this study. Poetry of Inna Lisnianskaya could be holistically treated as a metaphor of a mirror. The subject of this analysis is the cycle of poems Старое зеркало. Inna Lisnianskaya, by identifying living with being a living mirror extends the meaning of this metaphor to: I AM A MIRROR.

Synaesthesia is undoubtedly a very complicated and complex phenomenon. Regarding its nature and definition, it poses a wide variety of difficulties not only from the neurocognitive but especially from the linguistic perspective. Both, the weak and strong linguistic synaesthesias are generally considered as metaphors. The first part of the paper aims at presenting at first the types of synaesthesia and some problematic issues with its definition from the neurocognitive perspective. Subsequently, various approaches to the linguistic-conceptual nature of synaesthesia as well as related problematic theoretical and analytical questions are discussed; especially those pertaining to regarding synaesthesia as a metaphor (much more seldom is this phenomenon interpreted as metonymy, metaphor or neither of them). It has been shown that from the theoretical point of view the weak linguistic synaesthesia can unequivocally be classified as a metaphor. Similar unambiguous categorisation in the case of strong linguistic synaesthesia is questionable. Based on the analysis of the co-ocurrences of the lexeme Freude in corpus, the second part of the paper demonstrates that even seemingly uncomplicated instances of weak synaesthesia turn out to be puzzling and pose some problems in terms of their interpretation. Depending on the contextual embedding, they can be viewed as metaphors or metonymies (of different types). This leads to the following conclusion: if the weak linguistic synaesthesia cannot unequivocally be seen as a metaphor, it is much less possible to classify the strong linguistic synaesthesia generally as a metaphor. In such a complex domain as perception, the contextual embedding is of fundamental importance for the categorisation of the synaesthetic expression.

Author seeks to analyse crucial role of metaphor in Erazim Kohák’s The Embers and the Stars and other works in English. She rejects conventional interpretation of metaphors as deviant usage and examines Kohák’s use in terms of the theories of Lakoﬀ and Johnson, pointing out that Kohák purposefully uses metaphors to forge patterns of meaning which render experience intelligible. Tus he is able to interpret the experience of the sacred not as description of alternative reality but as encounter with transcendental meaning of ordinary experience.

In the article “The Rejection of the Metaphor. Thoughts on the Kafkian Style” we argue that the simplicity of the Praguean writer’s style and the purposeful avoidance of metaphor are based on the conviction that reality is one, indivisible and uninterpretable, and that literature should express this reality. For Kafka, metaphor is not a way to reveal the essence of reality, but a trap that alienates the writer from the essence of things. By trying to find the limits of the correspondence between literature and reality and attempting to reach the utopia of the total correspondence between word and world, Kafka builds his own style, one characterized by great simplicity, clearness and concreteness, where metaphor is used parsimoniously.

While metaphor constitutes one of the most important phenomena studied by cognitive semantics and cognitive poetics, one specific type of metaphor, the so-called image metaphor, receives little attention in cognitive theory and research. Image metaphors are quite frequent in poetry and prose, especially in descriptions of the natural world. They are markedly different from conventional conceptual metaphors and entrenched metaphorical expressions found in everyday language, as they do not involve a more tangible source domain and a more abstract target domain. In an image metaphor, both the source and the target are specific physical entities. Unlike conceptual metaphors, which help people to conceptualize, reason and talk about abstract concepts and ideas in terms of more tangible domains, image metaphors serve entirely different purposes. They emphasize certain similarities between various entities or they create such similarities. The article presents a small part of my study of image metaphors in descriptions of nature in Thoreau’s writings. It focuses on image metaphors in two of his later, less known and discussed texts: the essay “Autumnal Tints” and his last manuscript called “The Dispersion of Seeds.” Thoreau uses image metaphors in order to point out that the natural world is full of likenesses and universal patterns or in order to defamiliarize ordinary phenomena which he describes.

The article investigates how the concept of nature is metaphorically construed in the writings of Henry David Thoreau, one of the earliest and most influential nature writers. The analysis has been inspired by insights from cognitive linguistics and cognitive poetics, especially Lakoff and Johnson’s Conceptual Metaphor Theory and Fauconnier and Turner’s Blending Theory. Several different metaphorical construals of the concept of nature appear in Thoreau’s writings which have been examined in this study, including Walden, The Maine Woods, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, a selection from his journal, and two collections of his earlier and later natural history essays and manuscripts. One can encounter there, obviously, conventional personifications of nature, such as Mother Nature, which, however, is questioned by Thoreau, as well as the occasional construal of nature as a companion or a bride. Other conventional conceptual metaphors, which are more frequently employed by him, include the metaphorical construal of nature as a work of art or as a literary work and once, more unconventionally, as a concert. Natural entities are also construed as other kinds of products. An original metaphor, which frequently appears in Thoreau’s late manuscript on the dispersion of seeds, is the personification of nature as a forester.

Students’ attitudes towards entrepreneurship are an important issue in entrepreneurial education. They include cognitive, emotional and behavioural aspects that influence students’ willingness to start their own business. Diagnosis of students’ entrepreneurial attitudes is crucial for the preparation of appropriate training programmes. In this paper, some commonly used proverbs and phrases (referred to as metaphors) are proposed as a diagnostic method for the assessment of entrepre neurial attitudes and as a pragmatic method that can be used to form proactive entrepreneurial attitudes. The aim of the study was to verify that entrepreneurial metaphors described in the literature are up to date and to identify current metaphors pertaining to running a new business as perceived by business students. The authors’ original questionnaire was used to evaluate the accuracy of known metaphors (4-point Likert’s scale) and to identify student’s own metaphors. Statistical analysis of obtained results (the t-Student test for one group was used) showed that the most accurate metaphors related to entrepreneurship were related to its perception as a management process, hard work, overcoming obstacles and competition. Analysis of metaphors created by the respondents allowed to identify three dominant categories of entrepreneurial activities: overcoming obstacles and barriers, taking risk in uncertain environment and proactivity understood as responsibility for the new venture development. The research resulted in a catalogue of current entrepreneurship metaphors and in the list of recommendations for entrepreneurial education. We also presented an example of the such usage in practice.

Translation of poetry relies on some strategies that envisage the text as a unit of translation. Consequently, the translator will adapt his/her methods according to the type of text, focusing also on the target culture. Metaphors, as stylistic devices of poetry, are culturally bounded to a certain way of viewing the world; that is, the translator must take into account first the culture involved in the translation process and then the linguistic and formal aspects.

The paper discusses Paula Mehan’s play Cell with focus on the female discourses present in the context of this literary work and the multifold metaphorisation that both the title of the work and the contents invite. The discourses are analysed against the relevant social background and critical literature. The focal types of discourses under discussion involve imagery from maternal and familiar discourse, the “biological” discourse related to hygiene, the sexual discourse, the mock feminist discourse, the discourse of the military and the propaganda of the common good, and the discourse related to the animal world.

The subject of the article is a role of metaphor in Józef Tischner’s philosophy. In late seventies he shaped an idea of „thinking within metaphor”, which was an essential modification of phenomenological method Tischner used before. Metaphorizing is not only an unliterally language expression, but also the metaphysical statement, that the world an human experience cannot be described in strict concepts. Metaphors and symbols have their own logic and hermeneutics, which shows their inner tensions. I proposed a new approach to Tischner philosophy, which allows unveil this „life of metaphor”.

The present paper introduces ‘the principle of pithiness’ in US prison slang, which assumes that, in order to communicate successfully, prisoners need to use language that is terse and vigorously expressive. Such function is served by figurative language as it is rich in meaning, emotional content, and, simultaneously, is economical in form. Using prison-specific metaphors and metonymies, prisoners provide new quality: without the thorough study of the prison context prison slang is esoteric to the outsider. Therefore, the paper is also a voice for integrating linguistic analysis with that of the context (cf. Kövecses 2015).

This essay sets out to analyze the re-construction of a marvelous world in the translations of Angela Carter’s works (1940-1992). It does so by focusing on metaphors, seen as cognitive and stylistic elements which are both relevant in the construction of such world, and emblematic of the overall translation strategy. Our parallel corpus consists of a selection of stories from Angela Carter’s The Bloody Chamber and other stories (1979) and their three translations (two into Italian, one into French). The stories in this collection offer a profound rewriting of Perrault’s tales and subvert the canon by adding an explicit sexual dimension to these stories and questioning male supremacy. We shall illustrate the strategies implemented by the Italian and French translators to recreate the uncanny images and associations that deliberate metaphors can trigger in the minds of their readers. We aim at drawing a few tentative conclusions about the construction of marvelous through metaphors, as well as on the translation approaches to such elements and works.

The article presents selected results of the author’s studies on the metaphorical description of emotions by six-year-old children. The studies show that the presentation of meaning through metaphors makes it easy for children to explain difficult concepts. Children’s metaphors allow us to illustrate the different nature of thinking in children, and, as a result, their highly original definitions. The article is an attempt to show a new perspective in logopedic therapy based on cognitive abilities, children’s imagination and their metaphorical skills. The presented suggestion addressed to therapy from the pragmatic angle only outlines the problem.

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.

The study is carried out in the framework of Conceptual Metaphor Theory, but since it considers political cartoons that, apart from linguistic, involve also other modes, the findings of theoreticians researching visual and multimodal metaphors are applied. The purpose of the present study is to identify and analyse the visual and multimodal metaphors encountered in cartoons focusing on the European Union matters and to find out if political events are presented in cartoons in English and Latvian on the basis of the same conceptual metaphors.

The author and interpreter Julya Rabinowich describes herself as “Janus in Babylon” and characterizes her multilingualism not only as a mediating competence, but also as a changing identity: “Spaltköpfig wird man. Doppelzüngig. Mehrgesichtig” (Rabinowich 2009: 58). Playing with one’s own identities, with lies and truth, with past and future, seems to be the best prerequisite for writing. This contribution examines the poetic potential of exophony using Julya Rabinowich’s novel Spaltkopf, which is read as a draft of a multidimensional identity conflict. In comparison with multilingual perspectives and exophonic spellings by Yoko Tawada, Herta Müller, Dragica Rajčić, Emine Sevgi Özdamar, Saša Stanišić and Semier Insayif, the tilting effects between metaphorical and literal readings are particularly focused.

Die Autorin und Dolmetscherin Julya Rabinowich bezeichnet sich selbst als „Janus in Babylon“ und charakterisiert ihre Mehrsprachigkeit nicht nur als vermittelnde Kompetenz, sondern auch als wechselnde Identität: „Spaltköpfig wird man.

Welches poetische Potential in der Exophonie liegen kann, untersucht dieser Beitrag anhand von Julya Rabinowichs Roman Spaltkopf, der als Entwurf eines mehrdimensionalen Identitätskonflikts gelesen wird. Im Vergleich mit mehrsprachigen Perspektiven und exophonen Schreibweisen von Yoko Tawada, Herta Müller, Dragica Rajčić, Emine Sevgi Özdamar, Saša Stanišić und Semier Insayif werden besonders die Kippeffekte zwischen metaphorischen und buchstäblichen Lesarten fokussiert.

The article is to demonstrate the existence in contemporary Polish of the metaphor that thought /thinking is a stream/torrent. The author has distinguished the following features of a stream or torrent: course, flow, current, liquid, meandering, broad, swift, turbid, shallow, rapid, rushing, surging, turbulent and murmuring. He has searched the Polish Internet resources (blogs, forums, articles, books), finding there examples of sentences from 2000–2014. The material collected by the author confirms that Poles today understand thought and thinking as a stream and torrent.
