Inheritance of Features in Metaphoric Mappings in English
ISBN: 9783631590898 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The book is devoted to conceptual metaphors in English according to the level of abstraction in their target domains. The findings reveal a striking difference between mappings onto concrete domains and mappings onto abstract ones. In metaphors with concrete target domains, a preexisting similarity between the source and target concepts can be revealed or highlighted. In contrast, when the target domain is abstract, the similarity between the source and target concepts is created rather than merely revealed or highlighted. To some degree, creation of similarity is possible even with concrete...

The Influence of Text Type on Word Order of Old Germanic Languages: A Corpus-Based Contrastive Study of Old English and Old High German
ISBN: 9783631613153 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 221 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych.

Thanks to this methodology, it is possible to compare word order patterns in Old English and Old High German, eliminating differences which may be due to stylistic or technical reasons (rhythm, rhyme, Latin influences), as well as to see to what extent text type determines word order and to check whether this phenomenon is universal (triggering similar behaviour in both analysed languages). The book...
