Abstract Developed within the frame of cognitive and typological linguistics, the present study examines the taxonomical status of the lexemes i and z in Polish. To achieve this aim, the author analyzes the compliance of the two forms with the prototype of coordinate-hood and the structure of their maps of polyfunctionality. The evidence demonstrates that i is a canonical instantiation of the category of coordinate-hood while z is less canonical. Additionally, the two lexemes yield different maps of polyfunctionality (with distinct prototypicality nuclei), which reflects their distinct diachronic and conceptual origin. The map of i radiates from the value of ‘also’ while the map of z radiates from a comitative sense. This article – the last in a series of two – completes the presentation of the empirical evidence and interprets it within the adopted framework. The degrees of canonicity of i and z are determined and the semantic-functional maps of the two lexemes are compared.
在认知语言学和类型语言学的框架内发展，本研究考察了波兰语中词汇i和z的分类学地位。为了达到这一目的，作者分析了这两种形式与座标原型的遵从性及其多功能映射的结构。证据表明，i是坐标-hood范畴的典型实例，而z则不那么典型。此外，这两种词汇产生了不同的多功能性地图(具有不同的原型核)，这反映了它们不同的历时和概念起源。i的映射从' also '的值发散，而z的映射从模仿意义发散。本文——两篇系列文章中的最后一篇——完成了经验证据的呈现，并在采用的框架内对其进行了解释。确定了i和z的正则度，并比较了这两个词的语义功能映射。

Abstract This article describes the use of cohesive substitution in the Qurʼān. In Halliday and Hasan’s model of cohesion, this term refers to the replacement of one syntactic item by another; this article asks several questions in this regard: How is cohesive substitution realized in the Qurʼān? What items does it replace? Why is it used? The study finds that there are only a few cases of cohesive substitution in the Qurʼān, and the nominal and verbal substitution operate in the Qurʼān as they do in English. In that language, the forms one and the same are employed for nominal substitution. In the Qurʼān the forms ʼaḥad “one” (sg. masc.), ʼiḥdā “one” (sg. fem.) and miṯlu ḏālika “the same” can be considered equivalent to the English form one and the same. Verbal substitution in Arabic is realized by the verb yaf’alu “he will do,” “he does” (and is not followed by the anaphoric pronoun ḏālika “that”), replacing only the verb without its complement. No occurrences of clausal substitutions were found because usually variations of anaphoric reference (e.g., ḏālika “that” or ka-ḏālika “like that”) were used instead. From a pragmatic viewpoint, cohesive substitution is used to prevent repetition of the same word found in the immediately preceding clause.
摘要本文描述了《古兰经ān》中内聚替代的用法。在韩礼德和哈桑的衔接模式中，这一术语指的是用一个句法项代替另一个句法项;本文在这方面提出了几个问题:《古兰经ān》是如何实现内聚替代的?它可以替代哪些项目?为什么要使用它?研究发现，《古兰经ān》中衔接替代的情况很少，名义替代和动词性替代在《古兰经ān》中的作用与英语中的相同。在这种语言中，形式一和相同被用于名义替代。在古兰经ān中，形式aḥad是“一”。(希伯来文)，iḥdā“一”。fem.)和miṯlu ḏālika " the same "可以被认为相当于英语形式one和the same。阿拉伯语中的动词替换是通过动词yaf 'alu实现的，“他将做”，“他做”(并且后面没有回指代词ḏālika“that”)，只替换动词而不替换其补语。没有发现用小句替代的情况，因为通常用回指指称的变体(例如ḏālika“that”或ka-ḏālika“like that”)代替。从语用学的角度来看，衔接替代是为了防止在前一句中发现的同一个词的重复。

Abstract The reference theory popular in 1970-1990s, which aimed at integrating various forms of semantic determination of lexical units of the language analysed from the syntax perspective, provides the starting point for the author. Quantification and definiteness/indefiniteness were treated in numerous publications from that period as varieties of the same semantic category, i.e. determination of the referential status of nominal groups. The author assumes that both categories demonstrate functional independence, therefore their exponents form opposites. Consequently, the quantification model of definiteness/indefiniteness, cultivated by some researchers, is not supported in the language material, being rather a strictly logical structure. At the same time, the author demonstrates that certain relations and dependencies occur between the two categories. Four aspects of such dependencies: selection, implication, collocation and derivation, are examined in the paper using Polish language materials and materials of other European languages.

Abstract This paper aims to present the phenomenological method in the perspective of the philosophy of communication, without depriving the latter of the great importance, in Husserl’s works. The first part of this paper presents the ideas contained in Idee II…, including also the study of communication and agreement for the mutual exchange of experiences. The second part of this paper is the analysis of the arguments about the intersubjectivity, formulated by Husserl in Medytacje kartezjańskie. The last part presents the late period of Husserl’s works, which did not weaken his communicative analyses. This paper shows the peculiar evolution the German thinker’s views, which partially explains the doubts about the fundaments of the phenomenological method.

Abstract This text analyzes philosophical dialogue (from Plato to Augustine of Hippo, Berkeley, Hume and Leibniz) as a linguistic genre embedded in the cultural, historical and media context, which was decisive for the role and functions accorded to philosophy as such. I argue that one way to describe transformations of Western thought, which has not been consistently implemented, is a description of its history through the category of progressive textualization and through anthropological-historical category of a genre. Two models of communication analyzed by Ives Winkin – orchestral and telegraphic – first associated with the perception of communication as an act of interpersonal, linguistic and non-linguistic communio, and second, the perception of communication as a linear transfer of information from one mind to another, have their historical, especially the media roots. The first is associated with the word alive and spoken communication. The second is conditioned by the primacy of the printed word and the quiet, solitary reading, which cuts off existential contexts, and decontextualizes an utterance and tranforms it into a strictly graphic message far from direct, interpersonal understanding. Both models can be seen well in philosophical texts. And the dominance of the latter, related to the development of print culture, allows us to understand why the philosophical dialogue as a trace of the conversation – a trace of the existential practice as well as philosophical – is experiencing a crisis in modern times.

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to analyze the primacy of communicative rationality in relation to other forms of rationality and to determine the status of openly strategic actions in the concept of Jürgen Habermas. In the theory of communicative actions, Habermas focuses on actions secretively strategic, recognizing them as “parasitic” in relation to communicative actions and explains the prevalence of communicative actions on the grounds of the theory of speech acts, in particular the concept of illocutionary force, the category of “social binding force”, or practice in the lifeworld. By the same, Karl-Otto Apel challenges Habermas that he has skipped explicitly strategic class of actions, which entails the inadequacy of the justification for the status of communicative rationality. This raises a doubt – why should non-strategic actions take precedence over strategic ones? Karl-Otto Apel replies to this question with the help of transcendental-pragmatic procedure of an ultimate justification.
摘要本文的目的是分析沟通理性相对于其他形式理性的首要地位，并确定公开战略行动在Jürgen Habermas概念中的地位。在交际行为理论中，哈贝马斯将注意力集中在隐秘的战略性行为上，将其视为与交际行为相关的“寄生”行为，并基于言语行为理论，特别是言外力的概念、“社会约束力”的范畴或生活世界中的实践，解释了交际行为的普遍性。同样，卡尔·奥托·阿佩尔（Karl Otto Apel）质疑哈贝马斯（Habermas），他明确跳过了战略行动类别，这导致了交际理性地位的正当性不足。这引发了一个疑问——为什么非战略行动要优先于战略行动？卡尔·奥托·阿佩尔借助一种终极正当性的先验语用程序回答了这个问题。

Abstract The present article deals with one of the most elaborated theories of information society, proposed by Manuel Castells. Castells defines the present social landscape as the Information Age, in which human societies perform their activities in a new technological paradigm and argues that this landscape was brought about by the revolution of information and communication technologies (ICT) at the second half of the 20th century. I argue that Castells first and foremost theorizes these new ICT (in the vein of media theorist Marshall Mc-Luhan) and discerns their three main features – network logic, timeless time and space of flows which are visible only in the interaction of media and society. Therefore, Castells’ ICT / media theory serves as a kind of methodological framework for his theory of the information society.
摘要本文论述了曼努埃尔·卡斯特尔斯提出的信息社会最为详尽的理论之一。Castells将当前的社会景观定义为信息时代，在信息时代，人类社会以新的技术范式开展活动，并认为这种景观是由20世纪下半叶的信息和通信技术革命带来的。我认为，Castells首先对这些新的ICT进行了理论化（与媒体理论家Marshall Mc Luhan一样），并发现了它们的三个主要特征——网络逻辑、流动的永恒时间和空间，这些只有在媒体和社会的互动中才可见。因此，卡斯特尔斯的信息通信技术/媒体理论是其信息社会理论的一种方法论框架。

Abstract The purpose of this article is to interpret the term the “reflexive historicizing of communication” used by the editors of the Handbook of Communication History published in 2013. In the preface and in the first chapter, the editors introduce the above-mentioned concept, postulating that it is associated with the most important among several possible trends in communication history. Reflexive historicizing, as an important and innovative methodological directive, however, is described therein rather laconically. This article contains comments on both historicism and reflexivity. Their genesis is presented as well as their most important interpretations and possible applications in the social sciences. Particular attention is paid to the concept of historicism, since it is charged with numerous controversies and polemics (Karl Popper’s famous criticism). The main purpose of this article is to explain the meaning of historicism (and reflexivity) so as to avoid confusion and over-interpretation in the application of these concepts within communication history.

Abstract In contemporary philosophy of communication we have two competing views on communication. In short they are called message-centred and meaning-centred. The first one is described as reductionist because it reduces communication to transmission of information. In the article a distinction has been made between a purely transmissional approach, which does not have a reductionist character and the reductionist account, which in an unjustified manner, conflates the transmission problem with semantic issues. For this purpose, the concept of levels of analysis and considerations concerning a conduit metaphor were used. Given the limited application of the reductionist approach in communication studies, in the last section of the article an integration approach is proposed. Such an approach, while avoiding conflation of levels, allows for their combining and finding connections between them.
