The aim of this paper is to trace the etymologies of the English words bear, lynx and wolf and their Polish equivalents niedźwiedź, ryś and wilk within the context of Indo-European languages in terms of the mechanisms for creating euphemisms to denote animals subject to the phenomenon of linguistic tabooization. The methodology comprises the following stages: selection of cognates (to determine the scope of attestation); examination of the semantic features of the selected vocabulary; and an attempt to outline the problem of the functional features of euphemisms to denote tabooed vocabulary. The results of these considerations can contribute to concretising our ideas about the linguistic constitution of the surrounding world by past language users and linguistic interrelationships, as well as help reveal the peculiarities of euphemistic vocabulary conditioned by the functioning of linguistic taboos.
本文旨在追溯英语单词 bear、lynx 和 wolf 及其波兰语对应词 niedźwiedź、ryś 和 wilk 在印欧语语境中的词源,从创造委婉语以表示受语言禁忌现象影响的动物的机制角度进行研究。研究方法包括以下几个阶段:选择同源词(以确定考证范围);考察所选词汇的语义特征;尝试概述委婉语表示禁忌词汇的功能特征问题。这些考虑的结果有助于使我们关于过去语言使用者对周围世界的语言构成和语言相互关系的想法具体化,也有助于揭示受语言禁忌功能制约的委婉语词汇的特殊性。

The paper discusses the emergence of L1-induced word-stress patterns in the spoken production of Polish advanced speakers of English. In Polish, unlike in English, a great deal of word-stress predictability is attested, and the paper investigates whether this affects the actual production. The investigations are couched within the broad area of contact linguistics and are analysed in the usage-based cognitive phonological approach. A possible lack of exemplar connections to standard English forms is postulated here, so that EFL speakers develop patterns where the connections are being made to their native exemplars. The Frequency in a Favourable Context criterion is used here to estimate effects of use pattern that are distinct in the investigated languages. The data were obtained in a series of production tasks in a test-like format, by students in the English Department at PUK in Kraków. The results were analysed to the effect that they demonstrated a high level of L1 influence bordering possibly on innovation and propagation of new pattern of use, with cognate forms demonstrating the more rigid adherence to L1 stress locus.

The purpose of this article is to call for greater attention to the expanding problem of fostering autonomous approach, which may prove to be the key to changing the common perception of remote learning and be the source of its success. Drawing on the ability, motivation and opportunity (AMO) framework, this conceptual paper integrates research on learning and teaching approaches in the light of emerging realities to present the potential and benefits of a remote learning model based on autonomous practice and increased awareness. A case is made that fundamental work is necessary to contribute to a positive change in public attitudes towards remote learning and to increase its effectiveness. Current debates on the potential for developing the latest teaching recommendations are also extended, considering the benefits of promoting autonomous approaches with a particular reference to distance learning settings.

This paper examines the investigative nonfiction book Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann, which explores a series of murders of vulnerable members of the Osage tribe that took place in northeastern Oklahoma between 1918 and 1931. Grann’s account reveals how white citizens, ranchers, and townsfolk conspired against their Native American neighbors in a scheme involving poisoning, arson, deception, and falsified death certificates. The direct motivation for these crimes was greed triggered by income from oil deposits discovered in the land where the Osage were relocated after a century of broken treaties and other misfortunes. Furthermore, the paper explores how the supposed animality of the victims was employed to conceal and excuse genocidal tendencies against Native tribes, and how contemporary Native American accounts attest to their sense of unreality, resulting in the unclear status and uncanny subsistence of a living person reduced to the status of a ghost. In a broader perspective this paper discusses the colonization of America and its impact on the indigenous tribes who already inhabited the land. The demeaning metaphor of Indians as beasts yielded to a more palatable representation of the Noble Savage, but the accusations of bestiality returned when the tribes attempted to protect their way of living. The colonizers believed that by not cultivating the land and not building large, permanent communities, the indigenous tribes had forfeited their title to the land; those who resisted were conveniently labeled as pests to justify their inevitable erasure. The paper recalls rarely cited evidence, dating back to the history of the suppression of the 1652 Irish rebellion, to examine the multitudinous ways in which language played an important part in justifying the supposed animality of the indigenous people and eradicating them to make room for governmentauthorized settlers.

In this paper, I attempt to find a middle ground between the formalist critic, Vladimir Propp, and the psychoanalytic critic, Carl Jung. I argue that, instead of regarding Russian formalism and psychoanalysis as irreconcilable adversaries, the theories of the two figures can (and should) be unified; the result of which can be devised to establish a theory of what I call an ‘‘archetypal narrative’’. To be more explicit, Propp’s Morphology and Jung’s archetypal psychoanalysis are reconciled to bring about an archetypal narrative theory, in which the underlying structure of narratives lies in the collective unconscious of humanity.

The audiovisual phenomenon of autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR), which has been present on the Internet for several years in the form of relaxing videos posted on YouTube, is enjoying growing popularity. One of the interesting elements of this phenomenon is the affectivity visible in the language used by the members of the community. In this article, I focus on the language used by the ASMR community in online spaces, putting forward the thesis that it corresponds with the language of affect present in the affective turn theories that appreciate bodily sensations as a way of experiencing the world. The article suggests that ASMR is a product of the culture of affect and that the success of this phenomenon is associated with a shift toward the importance of the body and its sensations in Western culture as key elements of the individual’s experience of the surrounding reality.

This paper focuses on the role of the structure of turns in quasi-synchronous text-based computer mediated-conversation. Prior research has found that interactants in this type of communication submit their messages in two ways: either as a long single message or as a sequence of shorter postings. We hypothesize that the latter strategy – called utterance splitting – facilitates communicating online both in terms of turn-taking (initiation of repairs and holding the floor) and sentence processing (predicting informational content and lowering entropy). To evaluate the hypothesis, an experiment in which naive participants interacted with a confederate writer was conducted. We found that although communicative success did not depend on the condition to which the participants were assigned, the conversations in which the confederate sent split utterances were, on average, shorter and re-quired less words to communicate the same intention.

This paper investigates one aspect of the socialist enterprise that was imposed on Eastern Europe starting from 1945: the reflection of Marx’s communist ideology in the art of the period. Socrealism was but a brief episode on the Polish artistic scene, spanning only several years of the apogee of Stalinism (1949–1953). The raison d’être of this type of creative output can be circumscribed by two main tenets: (i) utter repudiation of formalism in art and stressing the need of constant vigilance for any traces thereof, and (ii) a conviction of the absolute ideological utilitarianism of art. Our project aims to semiotically inquire into the repercussions of refuting formalism in art and to disambiguate the semiotic mechanisms behind ideologically loaded artistic expression of the period, focusing on the dynamic aspect of semiosis. This will be done using the paradigm of the Tartu-Moscow school of semiotics and tropology in art (Chrzanowska-Kluczewska e.g. 2014). In particular, we will concentrate on the Tartu concepts of entropy, vacuous interlocutor, semiotic transparency and the metaphor-versus-metonymy dyad. The emerging category is contiguity: in Peircean as well as in cognitive terms. The study is informed by materials from the collections of Muzeum Śląska Opolskiego (Museum of Opole Silesia), in particular those presented in the exhibition Sztuka musi być zrozumiała dla mas [Art must be comprehensible for the masses] (Opole, Poland 2012, curator: Joanna Filipczyk) in particular paintings and texts, and by material excerpted from selected issues of the art journal of the period, Przegląd Artystyczny [Art Review] from the years 1949–1953. The study shows that the processes underlying this type of output can be classified as semiotic reduction relying on contiguity.
本文考察了1945年以来强加于东欧的社会主义事业的一个方面:马克思的共产主义思想在这一时期艺术中的反映。社会主义只是波兰艺术舞台上的一个短暂插曲,只跨越了斯大林主义鼎盛时期的几年(1949-1953)。这种类型的创造性产出的être的原因可以由两个主要原则来限制:(i)彻底否定艺术中的形式主义,并强调需要对其任何痕迹保持警惕,以及(ii)对艺术的绝对意识形态功利主义的信念。我们的项目旨在符号学上探讨艺术中反对形式主义的影响,并消除那个时期充满意识形态的艺术表达背后的符号学机制的歧义,重点关注符号学的动态方面。这将使用塔尔图-莫斯科艺术符号学和形态学学派的范式(Chrzanowska-Kluczewska,例如2014年)。特别是,我们将集中在熵的塔尔图概念,空洞的对话者,符号透明度和隐喻对转喻的二元关系。新出现的类别是邻近性:在佩尔海和认知方面。这项研究的资料来自博物馆Śląska Opolskiego(奥波莱西里西亚博物馆)的藏品,特别是那些在展览Sztuka musi byki zrozumiała dla mas[艺术必须为大众所理解](波兰奥波莱,2012年,策展人:Joanna Filipczyk)中展出的绘画和文本,以及从1949年至1953年的艺术期刊Przegląd Artystyczny[艺术评论]精选的材料。研究表明,这种类型的输出背后的过程可以归类为依赖于邻近的符号约简。
