Bildlichkeit der Phraseme in der Wirtschaftssprache
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2015) Stroisz, Janina
The subject matter of this article is contrastive analysis of German and Polish idiomatic expressions in modern business language. Semantic analysis carried out in the article supports the crucial statement that metaphors are not only elements of literature but they also constitute a substantial part of specialised language. However, their function is different. Metaphors used in newspapers are lexicalized, which enables readers to receive specialised expressions and structures in a more understandable, expressive and aesthetic form. A significant part of the thesis is a detailed study of the examples provided from Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Handelsblatt, Wirtschaftswoche, Gazeta Wyborcza, Dziennik Gazeta Prawna and Rzeczpospolita.
Opisując nieopisane, czyli o (nie)przetłumaczalności języka przyrody na przykładzie brytyjskiego, polskiego i niemieckiego przyrodopisarstwa
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2019) Miller, Dorota
It goes without saying that words can distort or illuminate the way we perceive and emotionally experience the surrounding world and nature. Following this observation, the main objective of this paper is to pinpoint the possible linguistic expressions of nature. The underlying question can be formulated as follows: How can we adequately, accurately but nevertheless emotionally describe the subjective experience of nature and the relation human-nature? The analysis is based on three publications documenting growing interest of the literature in environmental issues: Robert Macfarlane’s “The Wild Places” [2017], Michał Książek’s “Droga 816” [2015] and Peter Wohlleben’s “Das Seelenleben der Tiere” [2016]. They represent the so-called nature writing: a well-established literary tradition in the Anglo-American literature, little-known in Polish and German literary landscapes.
Passive house / Passivhaus / casa passiva: Metaphorik im europäischen Diskurs des nachhaltigen Bauens
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2017) Crestani, Valentina
The paper presents the results of a linguistic analysis of English, German and Italian texts, whose topic is bioarchitecture. The texts are diatopic and diaphasic variable. They belong to the textual genre of web sites, i.e. presentations of institutes and of producers, and they refer to the specific topic of construction of passive houses. Metaphors are analysed in order to find models of conceptualisation in the three languages, showing similarities or differences according to the perspective adopted (whether qualitative or quantitative). The topological similarities between German and English and the differences between German/ English as Germanic languages and Italian as a Romance language are not always to be found in the conceptualisation of metaphors.
