The book discusses issues from the area of imagology – interdisciplinary studies on the perceptions of nations and countries, documented both in texts and in the structures of languages, and of humanistic memorology – a field that describes processes of collective memorizing, forgetting, and recollecting facts of the past events that might have influenced the shaping of collective memory by means of methods available to humanists (philologists, linguists, and predominantly ethnolinguists and discourse researchers). The article’s primary aim is to depict the evolution of – characteristic of the 20thand 21st-century Polish linguistic culture – images of nations and countries, to present the ways they have been shaped by means of measures available in press discourse, as well as to capture a special role of historical data predestined by those who govern the discourse to remember or to forget. This is connected with perceptions of proper construction of canon of values and memory topoi of the Polish culture. (part of the summary)

This volume, the result of a conference held in Warsaw in December 2019 as a part of a Franco-Polish research project on crises in literature, focuses on the relationships that the literature maintains with other fields of knowledge. These relationships, made up of sharing, collaboration or tension, were primarily theorized in the 19th century when the founding "disciplines" of our universities and research practices were established, but they had existed before. The texts presented in this volume allow us to verify this, from the Renaissance period to contemporary literature. They deal with historical circumstances and aesthetic changes in the course of which literature has forged links with religious or historical thought and discourse, accompanied the emergence of sociology or ethnography, and prepared new disciplines, such as demography. And it has always reinvested this new knowledge with a humanist and poetic dimension. Does the literature crisis lay in its capacity for reinvestment of what seems to escape from it and aiming at autonomy?

There are a few topics considered in the monograph. One can distinguish among others: question of perimeters in artistic oeuvres, cultural phenomena of margin character and their manifestations in literature, main streams versus niche, different understanding of non/normativeness, interfusion, collages, nebulosity of genres, styles, discourses, changes of subject category (e.g. posthumanism, transhumanism). All of them could be treated as detrituses, remains, scraps as a new perspective of world description, expression of many system metamorphosis of artistic language, style and discourse.

This volume focuses on the figure of the traveller emerging from the French literature of the 18th-19th centuries (real and imaginary travels). Eminent specialists from universities around the world (Réunion, Montpellier, Nancy, Lausanne, Szeged, etc.) analyse the changes taking place in the way the traveller is represented. Do travel accounts always focus on real trips? Does travel literature speak (only) about travels? What is the aim of imaginary travels? Does each literary period have its own model of travelling? The volume provides answers to all of those questions and much more.

The volume is a collection of 18 papers that examine the relationships between fairy tales and games/play from a variety of perspectives, taking on a broad range of research problems, methodological approaches and source materials. The contributors seek not only to elucidate the treatment of the game/play motif in fairy tales, but also to uncover the mechanics of intertextual and inter-medial play with the fairy tale tradition in American, British, Georgian, Icelandic, Austrian, Swiss and Polish culture. As such, the book showcases the richness and multi-layered quality of the “fairy tale and game/play” thematic complex, serving as inspiration and encouragement for continued research.

The book is the first scientific publication, which describes how Polish language users relate communication activities and what place in their relations is taken by the definition of their modality, i.e. the voice, looks, mimics, gestures, movement and body postures. The results of the research were obtained through analysis of the corpus data from the experimental corpus devised by the author, which allows for correlating in one database the recordings of communication activities (the interaction scenes from silent and sound documentaries from thearchives of Lodz Film School) and the relations of more than one hundred people who differ in age, gender and education.

The author offers an analysis of such a seemingly elusive thing as the description of the atmosphere of the source text in the target text. This task has led, relatively recently, to the formulation of perfunctory and subjective remarks that had nothing, or very little, to do with scientific inquiry, since there existed no specialized linguistic means to create and reproduce the author’s imagery that creates literary atmosphere. However, this publication has managed to avoid this danger thanks to the proposals of cognitive scientists. The starting point is the belief that writers — having only linguistic signs at their disposal — create images that remain fixed before the readers’ eyes. Part I describes the cognitive poetics tools for analyzing a literary work and its translation. Part II, on the other hand, focuses on the application of these “tools” to translations of experienced translators [into English, French, Polish and Russian] and a critical commentary on the result of their work.

Much has been written about the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on language. However, this study is of a different nature than studies already published on the Polish or Bulgarian publishing market. First of all, it has a comparative Polish-Bulgarian character. The observations described in the study were made on the spur of the moment, so the subject is exploring language "as it happens". It uses data obtained through an association experiment and a survey simultaneously, which is rare in research. Finally, we deliberately reach for a completely unobvious type of open cognitive definition of meaning. The book is a complex reaction of the synthesis and analysis of linguistic material, which takes place in the context of the strong impact of extreme physical reality on humanity. In the way we react, we try to take into account a complex conceptual substrate, i.e. activate general knowledge (physical, social and metalinguistic dimensions), and then reconstruct the way of perceiving certain elements of reality, which is strongly determined by our imaginative abilities and mental construction. In the process of conceptualizing the meaning of each of the concepts studied here, we clearly see the basic processes of interacting with the world, with the surrounding reality (in this case a hostile one). The concepts of Corona panic, Coronaparty and Corona tourism are largely answers and ways of reacting to very specific pandemic circumstances.

The book presents both recent trends and historical developments of theoretical concepts in the study of neologisms and sociolectisms, including the parallels and paradoxes in their dictionary treatment, including the issue of the relationship between neography and sociolectography. Using French language data, the book outlines ways to approach the constantly changing manifestations of generational or group cohesion through the lens of sociolexicology. The sociolinguistics of innovation defined here involves, primarily, the modelling of the diffusion of neologisms, i.e. finding out how and why new words spread in society. The case studies also deal with how lexical innovations can be extracted from generationally symptomatic sociolects and how they can be tested by means of longitudinal questionnaires and rap song lyrics, which are a unique source of information on the semantic development of identitary neologisms.
