This article explores and contrasts Deleuze’s thought and speculative realism (SR). Focusing on their respective approaches to art, it aims to show that the Deleuzian perspective can be regarded as a critique of SR’s treatment of art. It starts by demonstrating that a particular strand of SR known as object-oriented ontology (OOO) is unable to account for contemporary art as we know it. It then contrasts the approach of OOO with Deleuze’s thought, which endorses art and demonstrates an understanding of the nonhuman that can help to resolve some of the problems encountered by OOO. Having explored the differences between Deleuze’s thought and SR with respect to art, the article goes on to examine their similarities. It shows that both Deleuze and a rationalist offshoot of SR take an analogous approach to the relation between philosophy, art and science. Here, not only Deleuze and SR, but also SR and art, find common ground.

In the article, the syntactic potential of English is explored by carrying out a functional syntactic analysis of Carson McCullers’ short stories. The analysis shows that the main causes of noncanonical ordering of sentence elements in English are thematization by means of preposing and rhematization by postposing sentence elements. The preposed elements were semantically diverse, though the frequency of occurrence of different process type sentences varied. The postposed elements were process-specific. The ‘syntactic configurations’ of the canonical word order were determined by particular semantic, structural and contextual restrictions.

The paper sets out to examine metaphors in some EU documents on criminal activities. Drawing on contemporary understanding of metaphor, the investigation attempts to identify the main source domains for conceptualising a broadly understood abstract concept of law and to identify linguistic metaphors realising such conceptualisation. It also tackles the problem of translating metaphors into Lithuanian. The results of the study demonstrate preference given to object and person metaphors, which confirms previously identified tendencies of metaphoricity in legal discourse. In addition, the metaphor law/control is up features rather prominently. The latter is also the one that is not preserved in translation: differently from the above metaphors, in Lithuanian it is either rendered non-metaphorically or employing
