The following paper discusses working memory as it functions during the acquisition of a second language by children. It analyses the results of a study conducted over a 12 month period on a group of 12 Polish children ages 10 to 14, learning English as a second language. The focus of this longitudinal study was the role that the verbal working memory plays in the acquisition of new structures; namely, the extent to which processing new information in working memory is essential to learning grammar and the possibility of developing strategies of using working memory itself during the learning process. The method adopted was a comparison of several oral tasks, including repetition and postponed repetition. As the conclusion to the discussion, certain didactic implications are presented, such as the need to control and modify the didactic process as to the degree to which it relies on working memory.

This paper reports the results of a study aimed at establishing the acoustic characteristics of the obstruentised rhotic of Polish, i.e. an r-sound that is neither adjacent to a vowel nor syllabic. The study has revealed that the physical realisation of the sound is dependent on the position it occupies within the syllable as well as on the manner of articulation of the following segment. In onset positions, the obstruentised rhotic is likely to be articulated as a trill when followed by a stop. In contrast, spirantised variants are common in those clusters where the rhotic precedes a fricative. In prosodically weak coda positions, the degree of phonetic reduction is greater than in the onset. The observed variants include voiceless trills, spirantised rhotics, affricated rhotics, taps and instances of deletion.

The aims of this paper are the following: defining gratitude as a speech act and placing it in the group of other speech acts as well as presenting the specificity of its functioning in terms of pragmalinguistic methodology. The analyzed material includes contexts of the speech act of gratitude, with examples coming from contemporary Polish.

The article discusses verbs derived from interjections in three languages: Polish, Russian and German. In particular, it presents an overview of derivation processes which are implemented while forming the analyzed lexemes, the most productive affixes in the three languages in question and specific characteristic features of the word formation processes involved therein. The present study is based on the material of Polish, Russian and German verbs derived from representative, impulsive and imperative interjections and shows that, as far as morphological processes are concerned, numerous analogies exist between Polish and Russian. For instance, morphemes -a(ć) /-a(ть) are highly productive, both languages implement the morpheme -ot-/ -от- as well as the infixes -k-/-к- and -cz-/-ч-. Because of the different properties of the language, which belongs to a different language family, German verbs derived from interjections display slightly different characteristic features.

The study investigates cross-cultural variation in the use of epistemic lexical verbs (ELVs) in English research articles on economics written by Polish and Anglophone scholars. Two corpora of articles published in Polish and international journals are explored to analyze the frequency, prominence, distribution and phraseological behaviour of selected ELVs across the introductory, concluding and main body parts of the collected texts. The results demonstrate that Anglophone writers use more ELVs than their Polish counterparts, though both groups prefer judgement over evidential verbs and most frequently use ELVs in the combined Results and Discussion section. Cross-cultural differences are observed in the choice of the specific ELVs, their frequency rates and the recurrent phraseology in the distinct rhetorical sections. These results may have implications for novice writers aspiring to understand the motivations behind the specific rhetorical choices contributing to the effective announcement of new knowledge claims in English-language economics articles.

This work focuses on a specific type of terminological variants, i.e. medical eponymous terms gradually replaced by alternative, noneponymous terms. This descriptive study is conducted on a controlled medical terminology set – the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) of the World Health Organization (WHO). The focus of the study is on the eponymous terms named after physicians associated with the Nazi regime. The aim is to analyse if these eponyms were included in ICD-10 and if they were transferred into the new, 11th version of the Classification. Of all the eponymous terms presented in the paper, seven were found in ICD-10. The overall result of this study indicates that the eponymous terms associated with the Nazi regime have been replaced with alternatives or removed from the 11th version of the International Classification of Diseases in all cases, except for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

An element of a nation’s state policy is to support the use of a particular language or languages while prohibiting the use of other languages or their varieties in certain situations – usually formal. This is in the realm of language planning of which there are two basic types. Corpus planning involves establishing a standard language and promoting it among the language users. Status planning supports the use of a particular language through granting it the status of official language or auxiliary language in a given state or region, most often in the spheres of education, administration, services and media. This article discusses the Irish-language book in the context of language planning in Ireland. Particular observations are made from a perspective of a hundred years after most of Ireland seceded from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland to form an autonomous state (1922), which required the establishment of new national policies.

The article introduces a new educational browser-based game named IPAcman. The game is a didactic tool which can be used in introductory courses on English phonetics and phonology and teaches the description of conservative RP phonemes with the proper linguistic terminology, pertaining to places of articulation, manners of articulation, and voicing (in consonants) or vowel height, backness and roundedness. A short survey performed on three groups of students who were taught with IPAcman reveals that the attitudes towards the use of computer games in university coursework are overwhelmingly positive and that learning through playing a computer game is judged to be both enjoyable and highly effective.

This article presents and discusses a study that aims at establishing how self-mentions are used by pre-service teachers of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in their argumentative essay writing. The study examined a corpus of argumentative essays written on a range of topics in EFL didactics by a group of pre-service EFL teachers (hereafter – participants). The corpus involved two rounds of argumentative essays written by the participants and their respective controls (nonteacher EFL students). The frequency of self-mentions in the corpus was analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (IBM 2011) in terms of raw values, and the computer program WordSmith (Scott 2008) as normalised data per 1000 words. The results of the quantitative analysis revealed that the frequency of the self-mention we decreased, whereas the frequency of the self-mention I increased in the second round of essays. These findings and their linguo-didactic implications are further discussed in the article.
