This book explores a range of topics situated in the overlapping
areas of theoretical linguistics, applied linguistics and
translation studies. The first part of the book comprises five
original contributions on topics ranging from general linguistics
to applied linguistics while the second part comprises eleven
original contributions exploring selected aspects of theoretical,
descriptive and applied translation studies. This book also
initiates the publishing activity of the Department of Translation
Studies, established at the Institute of English Studies,
University of Wroclaw, Poland.
This book offers a cognitive-semiotic approach to metaphoricity of
visual representations in static visual narratives referred to as
comics. It implements this approach in an exploration of
conventionalized visual signs depicting diegetic situations, motion
events, sound events, and diverse psychological experiences in such
narratives. With his focus on the intersection of comics studies,
conceptual metaphor theory, and Charles Sanders Peirce's theory of
signs, the author analyzes a broad array of attested data retrieved
from comics exemplifying various publication formats, generic
conventions, and cultural traditions. His exploration situates the
metaphoricity of the analyzed visual signs against the backdrop of
their overall semiotic makeup and in relation to the metaphoricity
of their linguistic counterparts.
This volume has its origins in an international conference on
emotions organized by the Polish Association for the Study of
English and held at the University of Wroclaw in April 2015. In the
course of the conference, it became clear that emotions are
productively explored with relation to motion for the reason that
emotion(s) and motion(s) constitute profoundly intertwined
dimensions of physical and cultural embodiment reflected in
language. The relationship between motion(s) and emotion(s) became
the underlying theme of this volume, which comprises nineteen
contributions presenting exploratory and applicative accounts of
(e)motion(s) situated in topical research areas of linguistic
theory, second language acquisition, and translation studies.
The origins of this volume lie in the international conference
Cognitive Linguistics in the Year 2012, convened by the Polish
Cognitive Linguistics Association. The proceedings of the
conference revolved around three major thematic areas: metaphorical
and metonymic underpinnings of meaning in language and beyond,
prototypical and gradual phenomena pertaining to linguistic
categorization across the lexicogrammatical continuum, and the need
for advancing theoretical tools. These recurring themes are
reflected in the three-part structure of this volume, with
contributions from nearly two dozen researchers exploring a broad
array of linguistic as well as non-linguistic data.
