A physical object from Cardinal Nicolaus Breakspear’s legation to Scandinavia, 1152-54 This article gives an account of the background and discovery of the only remaining physical object from Cardinal Nicolaus Breakspear’s legation to Scandinavia 1152–54 on behalf of Pope Eugenius III. The Pope had invested in Cardinal Breakspear the authority to negotiate and make decisions on the organisation of the church in the three Scandinavian kingdoms: Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Until then, the church in the whole of Scandinavia was under the archbishop of Lund. Lund at that time was part of Denmark, not of Sweden, as it is today. During his time in Norway, Cardinal Breakspear (c. 1100–1159) reorganised the Norwegian church under its own archbishop in Nidaros (Trondheim), and established a new Norwegian diocese in Hamar. The Pope’s plan was in addition to establish another archbishopry in Sweden, but that could not yet be achieved due to internal Swedish disagreements. The Sweden church, therefore, remained under the archbishop of Lund. When Cardinal Breakspear left Scandinavia from the town of Lomma close to Lund, he somehow must have dropped a lead seal which was attached to a letter from the Pope. This seal was then accidentally refound in the middle of the 1980s when Mr. Per Olsson dug in his garden in Lomma. He thought he had found an old coin and kept it in a drawer in his house. Per Olsson’s son, Magnus Linnarsson, later found out that the seal was from Pope Eugenius III. It is highly probable that this seal today is the only remaining physical artifact of Cardinal Breakspear’s legation to Scandinavia 1152–54. Cardinal Breakspear soon after his return to Rome became the new Pope under the name (H)Adrian IV. Until Pope John Paul II visited Norway in 1989, Nikolaus Breakspear is the only Pope ever to have set foot in Norway, and that happened before he was elected Pope. The seal is since 2011 included in the collections of Lund’s Historical Museum.

The author of this paper discusses the origins and development of integral psychology. He emphasises the fact that integral psychology creates a specific bridge between individual currents in psychology, offers the possibility to analyse their mutual relations, and provides the basis for more fruitful interaction. One of the assumptions of integral psychology is that conscience is material, meaning that it is inseparable from material processes and that conscience and matter constitute the interior and the exterior of each holon, respectively, always appearing together. Making such assumptions may not solve the body-mind problem, but it makes the reader look through contemporary paradigms again, including those in the field of linguistics. The assumptions of integral psychology provide modern research with new tasks, such as beginning to consider not just the worlds perceived by the senses and the mind, but now also those of the spiritual realm. Current linguistic research focuses on mental and sensual cognition passing over spiritual cognition from trans-personal levels. The author postulates that to broaden the linguistic research perspective, i.e. going on to empirical issues in a broad sense, one must begin by covering trans-personal areas (areas between mental and existential level). Furthermore, the development of all research, including linguistic research, results from the ability to deal with problems at various cognitive levels that, among others, originate from seriously considering various notions, such as by studying transpersonal levels.

Images as constituents multimodal texts are in linguistics treated as peripheral elements. Nowadays, however, printed and digital text of commercial nature not only constantly use language and images to shape their messages and to persuade but also combine these two semiotic codes to form one whole. A linguistic analysis of any multimodal text has to consider the functional, structural and argumentative combination of language and image. Therefore the author of the paper suggests to conduct linguistic analyses of multimodal texts within the framework of “linguistics of image” focused on speech actions. As the formal fields of research of the linguistics of image the author proposes and presents: text structure, iconicity in language and typography while the addressed issues, the substantial aspects, should be: the image-based nature of metaphors, phraseologisms and figurative speech, as well as remotivation of image-evoking word combinations, and the language-image correlation. The combination of both aspects, formal and substantial, of text linguistics is presented on the bases of text design.

The paper concerns eponyms, i.e. lexems derived from proper names, pertaining to fabrics and materials in the German language. The research material was excerpted from the publication "Eigennamen im deutschen Wortschatz. Ein Lexikon" by Rudolf Köster. The article seeks to answer three questions, i.e. as to: what forms the examined lexems take on, where they come from, and what the causes of their belonging to one of the three grammatical types are.

„Bitwa o każdy grób”. Semantic, syntactic & functional analysis of the titles in the guidebook Przewodnik po powstańczej Warszawie The aim of this article is the presentation of the titles functions such as informative, compositional and ideational in the guidebook of the Warsaw Uprising 1944. The authors of the book tell about the places, but they present also participants and witnesses of the Warsaw Uprising. The semantic and syntactic analyses of the nominalizations, which served as the titles in this book are presented. The purpose of this section is to demonstrate relations between the syntactical shape of particular title and the content of the given text. The article shows the connection between shape of semantic structure and the informative power of the particular text. The article brings also formal classification of the analyzed titles. Some of them consist of nominalizations (18%), some perform as the sentences (5%), as phrases with participles (9%), as phrases with infinitives (1%). In the conclusions I claim, that the formal choices in the titles are suitable for modern reader, which is capable of perceiving the news from the new media, such as Internet.

The purpose of this paper is to present and evaluate the studies in Plato’s Cratylus performed by Witold Stefański, which resulted in several articles concerning this dialogue and its translation into Polish. While the interpretation of this dialogue offered by the author may be called into question, the dialogue’s translation remains undoubtedly an excellent piece of work.

The article is devoted primarily to two Polish proverbs: “Każdy rad tam chodzi, gdzie się urodzi” (Everyone likes to go where they were born) and “Każdy tam ciągnie, gdzie się ulągnie” (Everyone is drawn to where they came from). They were mentioned by Julian Krzyżanowski, who concluded that their meaning is erotic, pornographic even, a view challenged and rejected in the article, and replaced with the author’s own explanations. Three most important meanings have been established: 1. when urodzi and ulągnie denote growth, prosperity, profit; 2. concern a return to the birth place: home, town, homeland; 3. tell us that people are ruled by inclinations, customs, nature, i.e. old Polish nałogi (habits) and przyrodzenie (nature); cf. M. Rej’s “Muszą myśli nasze tam ciągnąć, gdzie je przyrodzenie wlecze; do czego kogo nałóg a przyrodzenie ciągnie, tym się zawżdy para i tego pilnie szuka” (Our thoughts are necessarily drawn to where nature attracts them, what habit and nature attracts one is what one always does and diligently seeks). The author has also established that the Polish proverbs in question have their European predecessors: Greek, Latin, Egyptian, e.g. “Habit is the second nature of man” (Aristotle), “Everyone is dragged on by their favorite pleasure” (Trahit quemque sua voluptas – Virgil); “To each his own is beautiful” (Suum cuique pulchrum — Cicero), “You will return to your own mud floor, you will find your sycamore (Egyptian).

The aim of this paper is to examine the didactic value of the Attic Nights from the linguistic point of view, and precisely, from the point of view of Gellius’ teachings on the meanings of words. In this context it has been stated that the author makes his readers aware of new meanings gained by certain words when used in contemporary colloquial idiom, describes and interprets the mechanism which had generated those meanings, evaluates the results of the process of semantic change, and, finally, comments on the way some grammarians assess the usage of certain words in ancient literary texts. In effect, the paper concentrates on the passages where A. Gellius, referring to ancient (archaic and classical) literature, describes the semantic differences occurring in various words, depending on their usage, whether in literary or colloquial language, defines the linguistic mechanism giving rise to colloquial variants of different linguistic items, and presents in a critical light the influence of colloquial language on the way in which interpretation is made of particular words as they occur in literary texts.

Colours are an indispensable part of Virginia Woolf’s novels. In The Waves her dynamic brushstrokes, like those of impressionists, make colours come to life and surrender to the movement of the sun. One of the colours on Woolf’s palette is purple. Its ambiguity and speciﬁcity has inﬂuenced the lexemic variation introduced by Lech Czyżewski in his translation of the novel. The article seeks to establish the status of English purple as well as its Polish counterparts: szkarłatny and purpurowy. The starting point for the analysis is the evident semantic and cognitive ambiguity of purple. The observations concentrate on the use of purple in the novel’s interludes. The modiﬁcations of the colour term as well as the distribution of the two colours give intriguing testimony to Woolf’s idea that writers – in this case, translators – are great colourists

The article presents considerations concerning the essence and the scope of the concept of the natural gender of nouns. The author advocates its grammatical categorisation – instead of the semantic categorisation dominating in the literature. This means that the superior category in natural gender should be grammatical gender (hence the proposed compound term: natural grammatical gender), and not a semantic feature. In a simple (prototypical) categorisation, natural gender pertains to masculine nouns with male meaning and feminine nouns with female meaning. The article identifies five types of possible extension of this concept:1. the isolation of the neuter natural gender;2. the attribution of natural gender to nouns with inconsistent semantics of sex;3. the recognition of the natural gender which is incompatible with grammatical gender (this extension is onlypossible when natural gender is treated as a semantic feature);4. the analysis of all nouns that denote sexual beings with regard to natural gender;5. the isolation of subcategories of natural masculine nouns (natural genders of the second degree).Complimentary to the narrow understanding of natural gender, the author proposes to use an antonymous term – “unnatural gender” to designate such kind of grammatical gender of personal (or animate) nouns that is not in compliance with their semantic feature of sex (e.g., CHŁOPISKO [A CHAP], BABSZTYL [A HAG]).

The paper investigates the exposure of Polish learners of languages for legal purposes to popular culture, including different types of foreign law-related TV productions (feature films, series and TV courtroom shows) that could be exploited as authentic legal language teaching materials. An empirical study, inspired by a multinational research project into student views on the image of law and lawyers, will try to elucidate the fact that law-related pop culture engages the interests of non-native learners of languages for legal purposes. Furthermore, the issues of authentic video materials per se and legal consciousness will be highlighted. The paper concludes with recommendations for further research.

Starting with questions about the definition of the language spoken in Austria, the author arrives at the anthropocentric theory of human languages with the basic concept of idiolect and polylect. From this point of view the differences in language use between Austria and Germany can not only be described, but also interpreted as differences between certain groups of idiolects. The fact that terms that are typical for Austria are used in the translation offices in the European Union should already have led to a larger German-Austrian word list which could be used by translators and interpreters. The latter already work with the help of certain Austrian dictionaries within the field of languages for special purposes, e.g. of law and administration. Furthermore, such dictionaries ought to be used more frequently by language teachers, especially in the translation departments, where the students already could become aware of the fact that German belongs to the group of pluricentric languages.

This article undertakes the issue of translation of the computer role-playing game Wiedźmin (The Witcher) from Polish into German. The aim of the article is to present conclusions from the translationoriented analysis, as well as laying the foundations for further linguistic research in the fi eld of computer games. The translation-oriented analysis is divided in three main levels: lexicon, style and cultural elements. The lexicon analysis consists of two aspects, namely terminology and proper nouns. The style covers dialectizing and vulgarisms. The cultural level analyzes cultural references and allusions. The analysis proves that the translation of Wiedźmin from Polish into German was a diffi cult task and is not fl awless on any level. It was especially complicated to equivalently translate the cultural references that refer to Polish literature or popular culture. The dialectical stylization and richness of Polish vulgarisms were also problematic to translate and were therefore replaced with neutral German expressions that do not depict the lingual diversity of the game. The paper ends with the conclusion pointing out the problems uncovered through the analysis and aims at making computer games an object of linguistic studies in the future.
