The concept of GOD’S FACE as an anthropopathism in the Old Testament

Author(s): Marcin Kuczok / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The aim of the paper is to present the concept of GOD’S FACE functioning as an anthropopathism in the language of the Old Testament. According to biblical scholars, anthropopathisms along with anthropomorphisms constitute the metaphorical means for the personification of God in the Bible. It means that in biblical discourse, God is perceived as a human being by referring either to His appearance (anthropomorphism), or feelings, attitudes and ways of interaction with people (anthropopathism). Interestingly, from a linguistic perspective, the concept of FACE may function in language as a metonymy for emotions. In Anna Wierzbicka’s view, facial paralanguage replaces the linguistic production and it is possible to talk about “the semantics of facial expression.” In the Old Testament, the personified God’s facial paralanguage includes showing and hiding His face, turning it to/against people, as well as looking, listening and eating. Those descriptions exhibit numerous instances of the application of the concept of GOD’S FACE to express a variety of God’s feelings and attitudes towards people. The range of God’s emotions presented in this way involves both positive feelings, such as joy, peace and safety, as well as the negative ones, such as offence, anger or terror. Moreover, GOD’S FACE teaches and guides people or judges and destroys them. In addition, it can be observed that THE FACE FOR THE EXPRESSION OF EMOTIONS metonymy co-occurs with such metonymies as THE FACE for the person, the presence, the personality, and the confrontation with someone, producing complex interactions of conceptual mappings.

Face and ethics in professional interpreting

Author(s): Ewa Bogdanowska-Jakubowska / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Interpreting can be considered a form of intercultural communication in which at least three participants take part – primary participants (the speaker and the hearer(s)) and the interpreter. This is interpreter-mediated communication in social interaction (Jacobsen, 2009). Thus the interpreter, like any other interaction participant, has face – “an image of self delineated in terms of approved social attributes” (Goffman, 1967, p. 5). Face, which is created during social interaction, is both a property of relationships and a property of the individual, and is shaped by culture and the role he/she performs. Among the socially relevant qualities of the individual’s self-image, we can distinguish three groups of attributes: • attributes tied to moral conduct (e.g., adherence to the code of professional ethics), • attributes tied to a position in a social setting (e.g., professional competence of the interpreter), • attributes tied to interpersonal skills and facework competence (e.g., coordinating/mediating skills).To maintain face participants engage in facework (Goffman, 1967), actions which address face, involving threat and support as well as actions aimed at maintaining face.The aim of the study is to analyse the interpreter’s professional face, its ethical aspect in particular, and facework strategies employed during interpreting. The study has been carried out within the framework of the Cultural Face Model (Bogdanowska-Jakubowska, 2010).

Параметри на социално функциониране на турския език в България

Author(s): Harun Bekir / Language(s): English,Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The linguistic picture in Bulgaria is far from monolinguistic. Turkish is in a strong position in Bulgarian linguistic situation because it is really used and is a key element of the group identity of its bearers. Turkish in Bulgaria enjoys a high prestige withing the framework of its own group. It has real communication functions and is handed down in the family. The distribution and social function of Turkish as one of the minority languages is also important for the linguistic situation in the country. In connection with this, it is one of the linguistic formations participating in the Bulgarian linguistic situation. In analyzing the functioning of Turkish in Bulgaria, we have also tried to define the spheres of its usage and to present the place of Turkish in the life of the Turks, in addition to the spheres of communication and the individual social strata; the main trends related to Turkish and the factors that determine them, as well as to evaluate the conditions with a view to the future of Turkish among the Turkish community in Bulgaria.

La Lingüística cultural: una aportación a la metodología

Author(s): Joanna Wilk-Racięska / Language(s): Spanish Publication Year: 0

The aim of this article is to present the research apparatus of the cultural linguistics. I understand the cultural linguistics as a multidimensional research system which, depending of the phenomenon under investigation uses various tools. Hence, the research apparatus of cultural linguistics covers both cognitive and pragmatic tools and it can also use the instruments typical for ethnolinguistics. However the most important tool serving in a sense as an authorization of later cognitive and pragmatic studies is an analysis by means of notional decomposition. When a subject of research is language changes created mainly as a result of an encounter of two different visions of the world, a decomposition of notional structure of the expressions into basic elements seems the most reasonable and even a necessary starting point.

Acerca del potencial didáctico de la Lingüística Cognitiva en el aula de E/LE: el caso de las locuciones

Author(s): Agnieszka Szyndler / Language(s): Spanish Publication Year: 0

The aim of this paper is to present the didactic potential of Cognitive Linguistic, and in particular of Cognitive Theory of Metaphor in teaching Spanish as a foreign language. The present article, whose subject matter are idiomatic expressions which belong to the core of phraseology and can be viewed as prototypical phraseological units, not only attempts to demonstrate the reasons why this theoretical framework is extremely beneficial in the foreign language classroom but also focuses on role that the iconic dimension of idioms (mental image) and its metaphorical value (conceptual metaphors) have in the teaching and learning process. In other words, particular attention will be paid to research into the application of the theoretical postulates of Cognitive Linguistics to didactics of phraseology.

English and Polish post-verbal complementation: A study in cognitive contrastive semantics

Author(s): Agnieszka Kaleta / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The present study presents a contrastive analysis of English and Polish clausal complementation as it occurs in post-verbal position. It draws on functional and cognitive linguistic approaches to complementation, according to which the distribution of complement patterns is not random or arbitrary but semantically motivated. Using Givón’s theory of semantic binding and cognitive linguistic theories of complementation as tertium comparationis, the study investigates the cross-linguistic validity of these theories, demonstrating that while the binding theory is a cross linguistic phenomenon (with some coding differences), the construals encoded by schematic meanings of complement constructions tend to show some language-specific properties.

Historia języka polskiego – subdyscyplina polimetodologiczna

Author(s): Bogdan Walczak / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The author presents the history of scientific reflection on the history of the Polish language situated in the context of positivist, structuralist, communicative and cultural-cognitivist paradigm in turn. In the closing remarks he highlights the polymethodology of the Polish language history, proving that the scientific paradigms coexisting on that ground today might remain in a nonantagonistic complementary relation, due to the fact that each of them might dominate a certain fragment of the history of the language as a heterogenous and multiperspective discipline.

Filologia wobec wyzwań komunikacji specjalistycznej. d współpracy z biznesem po kształcenie nauczycieli

Author(s): Elżbieta Gajewska,Magdalena Sowa,Joanna Kic-Drgas / Language(s): Polish

The publication is a three-author monograph prepared in cooperation with the Pedagogical University in Kraków (KEN), Maria Skłodowska-Curie University in Lublin and Adam Mickiewicz University. The study programmes of philology studies at Polish universities are subject to constant evolution in order to adapt to the expectations of the changing labour market and boost their graduates' employability. Changes in the profile of education of philologists are sometimes very important. This publication analyses three areas in which it is particularly visible how philology studies open up possibilities for their graduates' professional careers in a company, which is understood here in broad terms: these areas are cooperation between the university and the business environment, preparing students to communicate in a foreign language in specialist contexts, and training teachers of specialist languages who can respond to the expectations of specific audiences. The study programmes of six popular philologies at 22 Polish universities were analysed, i.e. English, German, Romance languages, Hispanism, Italian and Russian studies. The authors have sought to describe the forms and methods of university education on neophilology degree courses through the prism of the main assumptions of specialist glottodidactics. Therefore, this monograph is, on the one hand, a record of the real state of affairs, which can be observed in terms of the curricula offered on neophilology degree courses in Poland. On the other, it is also an illustration of how and to what extent the theoretical and methodological assumptions of specialist glottodidactics impact on the shape of each training programme preparing for the profession. The rich research material forming the basis of this study makes it possible to discern the changes that have affected the education of philologists in Poland, and to show the place specialist language teaching has in current neophilology education. The results of the analysis indicate the directions for developing the teaching on offer, and may also act as an inspiration for potential modifications.

The publication contains compiled examples of linguistically correct feminine forms of positions, functions and professions found at the University of Silesia in Katowice. During the conceptual work, another facet of the modern world became apparent to us, namely the need to develop guidelines for the creation of forms that do not indicate gender. This resulted in extending our naming proposals to include a neutral aspect and calling the prepared dictionary “inclusive”.

NOMEN EST OMEN? (RE)INTERPRETACA RODNIH OZNAČITELJA KROZ LEĆE KOGNITIVNE LINGVISTIKE

Author(s): Emir Muhić / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

Fenomenologa rodno osveštenog jezika nedvosmisleno otvara slojevita poglavlja u shvatanju stvarnosti, kako stare, tako i nove. Imajući na umu da upotreba jezika, koju možemo pratiti uz pomoć alatki iz domena korpusne lingvistike, određuje prirodnost diskursa, važno je sagledati koji konceptualni i kulturološki okviri nastaju u sinhronskom smislu i na koji način menjaju mehanizme percepce. Navedeni kognitivno-kulturološki okviri udaraju temelj za nove pristupe kodiranju jezičkog prostora i uspostavljaju neophodne sisteme za dekodiranje vrednosnih matrica, pomažu u razumevanju i usvajanju novih jezičkih praksi i sveobuhvatnih stvarnosti. U radu je težište stavljeno na dominantne pojmove u diskursu akademskog prostora anglofonih zemalja u odnosu na lokalni kontekst.

A Conceptual Exploration of Polysemy: A Case Study of [V] – [UP] and [V] – [SHANG]

Author(s): Wei-Lun Lu / Language(s): English

The study investigates the interplay of polysemy with co-text, concept and construal, with the constructional schemas of [V] – [UP] and [V] – [SHANG] as illustrations. In addition to the cognitive semantic analysis, the monograph discusses two main beliefs in cognitive linguistics: On one hand, that to a large extent, meaning depends on archetypal conceptions, which reflects basic human cognitive capacities. Subjectivity, on the other hand, there is a critical element in the study of lexical semantics, not only in the sense that the role played by the conceptualizing subject is imminent in all usages but in that subjective mental scanning is especially necessary in understanding highly attenuated lexical senses.
