Descripción

Ein tadelloses Exemplar. - The papers in this book address the most fundamental, currently investigated problems in cognitive linguistics in a wide spectrum of perspectives. Apart from some traditional descriptions of particular metaphors and metonymies, there are analyses of spatio-temporal relations, motion and stillness, iconicity, force dynamics, as well as subjectivity and objectivity in language. The analyses are based on a number of languages: English, Polish, Russian, German, Lithuanian, Italian and Danish. The essays represent case studies, theoretical analyses as well as practical applications. - Table of Contents: Boguslaw Bierwiaczonek: On constructivization - a few remarks on the role of metonymy in grammar -- Beata Brzozowska-Zburzynska: A concept of container in temporal phrases - a comparative study -- Marta Falkowska: Subjectivity and objectivity in language as seen by Louis Hjelmslev and Ronald W.
