Behind the meaning of social keywords often there are meanings dependent on time, group and discourse. In a particular usage, these meanings resonate subliminally. These hidden, but sometimes very effective meanings are the subject of the so-called “sub-semantics” and are difficult to record in dictionaries. Against this backdrop, I consider the question of what makes a catchword so catchy based on...
The author presents the nature and objectives of a teaching subject, which is offered for several years on German Studies Institute at the University of Warsaw by employees of the Department of German-speaking courtiers as a part of Intercultural Communication specialization. Comparative studies in culture are a term, which differs from philological comparative studies. It means a sub-discipline,...
The article deals with various forms of teaching text composition for both native and non-native language speakers. A closer look at these forms includes an analysis of methods of evaluating writing ability, as well as the ability to recognize and to produce different text types.
Verbless sentences may be stative or dynamic, they may refer to actions or to properties of entities. In a narrativ environnement, we will find both types of verbless sentences. Providing a change of view-point and so focussing entities of first or second order (Lyons), dynamic and stative predications can be employed for the story progression, according to the lexical material.

The aim of this article is to show the synchronic section of the maritime phraseology of the 18th century on example of the multilingual dictionary Allgemeines Wörterbuch der Marine by Johann Hinrich Röding. This dictionary contains approximately 5000 lexicographic entries of the seamen’s language. Among them about 100 phrasemes from subject areas such as weather and tides, navigation, shipbuilding,...
The paper deals with the poetological propositions of one of the major Scandinavian Modernist poets Gunnar Ekelöf. My argument is that Ekelöf was one of those Modernist writers who saw literature from the perspective of a Weltkultur. I’m framing my reading of his intertextual collages, especially A Mölna-elegy in that context. The question of literary predecessors, tradition, dialogue and cultural...
The relation between meaning and intention is considered, reflecting the theoretical approaches of J.R. Searle in comparison with early phenomenological authors like A. Marty and the polish philosopher K. Twardowski. The latter is seen as a founder of important distinctions in the philosophy of language and semiotics, as for example the one between the content and the object of presentations. The...
In this paper, the author presents a brief description of the place and role Poland’s in the memoires of the former German chancellor Helmut Kohl. Although, at the first view, it can be assumed that Poland and the Polish politicians don’t appear too often in Kohl’s report, it could be shown after a closer analysis that Kohl refers many times to both of them. Poland aroused a special interest, but...
It is a commonly acknowledged fact that sharing knowledge is a fundamental prerequisite for cooperation between individual researchers, as well as between academic written cultures, whose research traditions may be divergent. Even in the case of academic circles enjoying geographical proximity like Polish and German ones, mutual contact may be hindered by a language barrier. The aim of this article...
The scope of present studies of idiomatic expressions involves both the classical ones selected on the basis of language criteria and other pragmatic expressions. Idioms par excellence, peripheries, situational expressions and collocations make up the core of the phraseology.Idiomatic expressions constitute the basic language tools that shape texts.Depending on the text types, they may function in...
All language systems change over time, meaning that no language can be completely described without reference to the history of its development. The diachronic considerations are receiving considerable attention in modern linguistics due to a growing number of research projects dedicated to studying the language change. The historical approach is not only being increasingly used as an efficient way...
Epistemic properties of a man constitute the base for change. So far little attention has been paid to those properties in semantics. Questions of epistemic factors, which influence the formation of specialised neologisms, have not been posed. The keynote of this article is the attempt to answer this question. To achieve this goal, I attempt to explain such expressions as ‚neo’, ‚epistemic’ and ‚specialised...
The assassination in Sarajevo of Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, precisely one hundred years ago, had certainly been one of most momentous political events in the course of the twentieth century. The aim of the paper is to examine how contemporary newspapers informed about this event, and what methods and linguistic means to describe and analyze the facts and to explain...
The topic of the following article is the German compound nouns with a deverbal head. Specifically, a subgroup of the compound nouns will be discussed, called ‘Rektionskomposita’ in German and ‘złożenia rekcyjne’ in Polish. In these constructions the first part of the compound noun fills in “the empty slot in the argument structure of the head of the compound noun” (Olsen 1986: 67). It is generally...
In my article, I present the person metaphor as the constitutive term for the theory of artificial persons. We have been dealing with various manners of reading the nature of the legal person, and consequently of law in general, especially private law (Privatrecht), since Roman times to this day. The point of departure for my deliberations, in which I try to demonstrate the nature of metaphorical...
The paper emphasises the importance of research on the history of German used on the territory of Poland. The studies on the history of the German language and dialects based on texts from Polish urban archives were the focus of Germanic studies in Poland during the pre-World War II period. After the war, such research continued until the late 1960s but was interrupted later. Currently Polish language...
Pragmatic set phrases (pragmatic phrasemes) are also called communicative routine formulas. They have been given particular attention by research in the field of conversational analysis and foreign language teaching, but they are also a research subject in phraseology, though on the periphery of the discipline. Pragmatic set phrases are mainly used in oral communication, but they also appear quite...
The paper provides an overview of the current state of affairs in German studies in Ukraine also shedding some light on the educational qualifications in German studies and the structure of professional training of German teachers and translators/interpreters for the BA and MA degrees at Ukrainian universities.
The contribution discusses the choice of language of French Germanists in their scientific publications. Contrary to the international academic world and the spreading of English in it, this pilot study to a bigger survey shows that the discipline of German Studies in France only uses two languages: German as the object language and the lingua franca of the guild, and French as meta-language and conveying...
