Metafizyka poznania lingwistycznego

Author(s): Grzegorz Pawłowski / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: rational soul; cognitive powers of the soul; intellect (mind); thinking; cognition; cognitive act; real basis of communication; linguistic methodology; knowledge; intuition; notion; lexeme; function; specialized function; interdisciplinarity

What is linguistic cognition and how does it relate to metaphysics? All the threads of this book revolve around this question. One of these themes is crucial: the rational soul and its cognitive powers. Another but no less important theme is the diagnosis of what linguists call (the sense of) communication. In this understanding, communication is viewed predominantly in relation to abstract concepts.

Ideological and Political Conditions of Language Communication

Ideologiczne i polityczne uwarunkowania komunikacji językowej

Author(s): / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: ideology; politics; communication; language value; political debate; discourse

The eleven texts included in the Ideological and Political Conditions of Language Communication address communication in its ideological and political aspect. The relations between politics and ideology, which arouse strong emotions in public discourse, are not the keynote of the presented publication. The authors choose one of the two notions and focus their research on the phenomena defined as political behaviour, language policy, politolinguistics, major political ideologies, political discourse. Aside from the defined visions of the world as well as political doctrines and programmes, which reflect beliefs, the book focuses on values and valuation, i.e. moral values and language value. The linguists base their research on Polish, German, English, French and Italian language material, drawing from the present and history. Due to interdisciplinary character of the presented reflections, the volume has been divided into five parts, devoted to historical, terminological, pragmatic, translational and didactic matters.

Linguistics à la inter. Status and prospects of interdisciplinary research

Lingwistyka à la inter. Status i perspektywy badań interdyscyplinarnych

Author(s): / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: philosophy; terminology; law; neuroscience; translation studies; culture; language

The interest of linguists in research findings from various fields of humanities and natural sciences is not waning. It has increased in recent years, inter alia, as a result of new ministerial regulations providing opportunities for more flexible evaluation of researchers and academic units. However, this interest stems primarily from the subject of linguistics itself. Linguists, having as their subject the linguistic and communicative properties of humans, cannot do without systematically following the results and research methods applied by the representatives of even those disciplines that only marginally take into account human beings, their genesis, nature, goals, or social functions. The interdisciplinary research involved here is simply natural for contemporary linguists. It is not easy to comprehensively present the initiatives resulting from such research in a single publication. The content of this work deals primarily with research that enjoys full acceptance in contemporary linguistic discourse. It is also full of innovative reflections on a number of relationships conceivable between linguistics and other sciences. These relationships are dealt with by the authors in the subject areas they have outlined.
