English «At» an Integrated Semantic Analysis
ISBN: 9783631574522 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book aims to provide a considerably detailed, integrated and methodologically grounded study of at within the cognitive framework. Assuming the non-arbitrary quality of the mental lexicon and highly creative nature of the human conceptual system, it is posited that each preposition has a primary sense which interacts with a highly constrained set of cognitive principles to derive a set of additional distinct senses, forming a motivated semantic network. The present analysis also reveals that at is remarkably coherent in its metaphoric and metonymic manifestations in that...

«Will You Tell Me «Any Thing» about Yourself?»: Co-Memorative Essays on Herman Melville's «Bartleby the Scrivener»
ISBN: 9783631587058 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. There is no record of anything Herman Melville (1819 1891) may have thought or said about -Bartleby the Scrivener. A Story of Wall-Street-, his single most famous tale, published just over 150 years ago today. It is actually for a whole gamut of reasons that the text is unlikely to ever yield an interpretive consensus gentium, the insights of such magisterial figures as F.O. Matthiessen, Ralph Ellison, Jacques Derrida, Giorgio Agamben, or Slavoj i ek notwithstanding. The volume adds to the nearly global Bartleby Industry with contributions by Andrzej Kopcewicz (Poznan), Joseph Kuhn (Poznan),...

Estuary English?: A Sociophonetic Study of Teenage Speech in the Home Counties
ISBN: 9783631393406 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 187 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book discusses the phonetic make-up of the teenage speech in the Home Counties in order to verify the status of a putative new variety referred to as -Estuary English-. The study compares the findings of a field research carried out by the author in the vicinity of London in 1998/1999 with the data from the Survey of English Dialects obtained half a century earlier. The results of the research show that -Estuary English- should be viewed as a number of distinct accents with some influences of London speech, not a single and definable variety."

Language Contact and Vocabulary Enrichment: Scandinavian Elements in Middle English

The Scandinavian presence all over Europe during the so-called Viking Age is well documented and England is not an exception. However, the influence of their language on the development of English has not always been well interpreted. This volume aims at deciphering the reality behind the legend of a raiding heathen nation. By resorting to the evidence provided by language, the book explores and tries to reconstruct the social networks formed by both the English and Scandinavians. Their relations, needs and lives are inextricably intermingled with the hybrid tongue they adapted for...

The Thematic Structure of the Sentence in English and Polish: Sentence Stress and Word Order
ISBN: 9783631635322 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The initial aim of the book was to describe Polish equivalents of the English articles. The functions of the articles were found in Polish to be expressed by word order and sentence stress (in neutral intonation). Word order and sentence stress were also analysed in English in view of the different nature of word order. Native speakers were asked to read given texts, which were recorded, and to comment on the intonation. The author concludes that the functions of the articles are part of Functional Sentence Perspective (FSP) and that the general tendency is to put new information in final...

The proposed Swiss framework indicates viewed through a macro-sociolinguistic lens that the present linguistic situation in Switzerland seems to reflect a...

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...
