Language Origins: From Mythology to Science
ISBN: 9783631756034 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The science of language evolution appeared at the end of the last century but topically belongs to language origins - the domain of investigation that is concerned with the beginnings and diversification of language. Language evolution as a research area contrasts with the antiquity of language origins, which can be traced back to the earliest forms of traditional reflection. Language evolution emphasises its scientific orientation, whereas throughout most of its history language origins constituted a complex mixture of mythology, philosophy of language, as well as religiously and...

This volume discusses domestication and foreignization in Polish-English and English-Polish translation and presents case studies of film, prose, poetry, and non-fiction, Internet memes and a card game. For many students of the discipline, it is an initiation rite of sorts to face the proposition that domestication is not the only way to do translation, and that translation is not the transparent mediation many intuitively believe it should be. To examine the concept,...

This study takes up Thoreau s work as an early and prophetic diagnosis of the modern crisis of relationships between the individual and society. Thus Adorno s formulation of -a melancholy of science- finds its predecessor in Thoreau s famous dictum from the early pages of Walden that we live our lives in quiet desperation. The author reads Thoreau s Journal as an attempt to refute tendencies towards the narrowing of life to being understood merely in techno-economic categories which threaten the quality of the development of both the individual and the community.

Concepts as Correlates of Lexical Labels: A Cognitivist Perspective
ISBN: 9783631662380 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The study of language becomes particularly attractive when it is not practised as an isolated descriptive enterprise, but when it has wide-ranging implications for the study of the human mind. Such is the spirit of this book. While categorisation may be the single most basic cognitive process in organisms, and as an area of inquiry, it is fundamental to Cognitive Science as a whole, at the other end of the spectrum, high-level cognition is organised and permeated by language, giving rise to categories that count and function as concepts. Working from considering the...

Henry James and the Art of Auto/Biography
ISBN: 9783631629222 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Henry James (1843 1916) has been widely acclaimed for the elegance of his prose, the incisiveness of his social comment, and the subtlety of his psychological analyses. Whereas James s tales and novels have been carefully studied over the past decades, his non-fiction, including literary criticism, travel writing, biographies, and autobiographies, still remains at the margins of critical activities. This study seeks to explore some of these neglected aspects of James s work, while at the same time interrogating the traditional formula of literary auto/biography. It also attempts to piece...

The Visual and the Verbal in Film, Drama, Literature and Biography

Henry James Goes to War
ISBN: 9783631646014 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 269 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Within the past decades, Henry James has been seen going to the movies and to Paris, both far more likely destinations for him than battlefields of the modern world. Sending him off to war seems to be a preposterous idea, but the exaggeration inscribed in the title of the present volume is meant to stress the historicity of wars and battles underlying James s life and work, quite apart from conflict on which literature thrives at all times. The book consists of five parts devoted to various forms and aspects of conflict. It deals with both literal and metaphorical battles of which the author...
