Czas dziki żwawiec – analiza semantyczna wybranych czasowników ruchu w przysłowiach o czasie
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2019) Kochmańska, Wioletta
The text provides a typological and functional analysis of the movement verbs expressed in the texts of proverbs the subject of which is time–an abstract metaphorical concept. Thestudy is based on the semantic frame paremic analysisin which time is featured as an object capable of moving. These are figurative representations of movement, which are the exponents of the fictitious movement. It has been shown that the components of the scenery created by the environment (embodied as water, air, alleged surface of the nose), direction of movement (segmental, horizontal, vertical), and method of contact with the surface are the constants in the semantic frame of such descriptions of displacement. The result of the ongoing research is the conclusion that time is conceptualized by humans as a dynamic concept, associated with movement (even equated with change), which clearly illustrates the current belief that Time does not stand still.
Proverbs as Small Narratives
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Mandziuk, Justyna
The purpose of this article is to look at the world of “grand narratives” and “little stories” from the perspective of paremiological studies. In an attempt to account for the conceptual, as well as structural, cohesion of proverbs, the analysis draws on the insights of Halliday and Hasan (1976), who advocate the importance of grammatical and lexical alignment that keeps the narration in line, incorporating their insights into the Current Discourse Space model delineated in Langacker (2008). The principles of cohesion, such as substitution, ellipsis, referencing, conjunction, calibrated with conceptual cohesion will be applied in this study with a view to demonstrating the importance of the cohesive elements which substantially contribute to the understanding of the authentic stretches of written and spoken language. This two-pronged approach to narrative appears to be particularly justified in the case of the modified proverb If money cannot bring happiness, transfer it to my account. On the one hand, the analysis unravels the proverb’s internal cohesion, while on the other, it accounts for the proverb’s changing structure and conceptualization as a new, emergent category. Above all, this study focuses on the narrative strengths of proverbs in the socio-cultural context, for “narration is the way people understand the world via the community of speakers” (Trzebiński 2002: 17, 43).
