A Cultural Journey Through the English Lexicon
ISBN: 9781443835091 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book is a metaphorical journey through the English lexicon, viewed as a vehicle and a mirror of cultural identity. From the translatability of phrases and metaphors to genre-specific terms, from English as a Lingua Franca to English language teaching, the studies collected here testify to the fact that in English - and overall in language - word contextualization or lack of contextualization impinges on linguistic utterances and leads to differing interpretations of the textual message. The book may be of interest to a wide range of scholars and students who are concerned with the study...

English Dictionaries as Cultural Mines
ISBN: 9781443836470 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 275 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Dictionaries are mines whose word-gems encapsulate centuries of language history and cultural traditions; they are store-houses of meanings and uses, 'lamp genies' to be set free at the very moment readers set their eyes on their entries. This book is an attempt to free such lamp genies, by discussing the role of dictionaries in the identification and expression of cultural aspects in language, with special reference to English. As such, its eleven chapters have been arranged to focus on general, genre-specific, monolingual and bilingual lexicography, both from a diachronic and a synchronic...

The news texts in question range from the first forms of periodical news in the seventeenth century up to the news blogs and social media of the present day.

ISBN: 9783034300117 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. All languages encode aspects of culture and every culture has its own specificities to be proud of and to be transmitted.

The second one (Internationalizing English) deals with the degrees and...
