The present paper deals with culture-specific items as a translational problem. It is based on two Polish translations of four Swedish books from the famous detective series by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö. The aim of the study is to analyze some of the practices employed by two Polish translators against the translation methods proposed by Newmark (1988), Svane (2002) and Ingo (2009). For this purpose...

The paper presents a semantic comparison of the basic temperature adjectives in Polish (zimny ‘cold', chłodny ‘cool, chilly', letni ‘lukewarm, tepid', ciepły ‘warm', gorący ‘hot') and in Swedish (kall ‘cold', kylig ‘chilly', sval ‘cool', ljum ‘lukewarm, tepid', varm ‘varm', het ‘hot'). The semantics of temperature terms is reconstructed through an analysis of their collocability with names of different...

The paper presents an analysis of Swedish expressions featuring the word röd ‘red'. The semantics of the colour term is reconstructed through the analysis of the collocability of the adjective with names of different classes of objects and phenomena, both in the literal and figurative senses.The prototypical reference of the adjective is that of fresh blood. Another reference point linked to röd is...

The paper presents a contrastive analysis of Polish and Swedish expressions featuring the term ‘white', in particular as the adjectives biały and vit. The semantics of the colour is reconstructed through the analysis of the collocability of the corresponding adjectives with names of different classes of objects and phenomena, both in the literal and figurative senses. An attempt is made to discover...

The article offers an outline of metonymy from a linguistic point of view, with focus on the cognitive theory of metaphor and metonymy. Metonymy is not restricted to language but is a cognitive phenomenon, understood as a conceptual process in which one conceptual entity, the 'target', is made mentally accessible by means of another entity, the 'vehicle', within the same conceptual structure. The...
