Opis
The eight chapters of this monograph represent different research projects being conducted at Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce, Poland and place that research within the broader scope of work being done throughout Poland in the fields of Cognitive Linguistics and culture studies. The number of researchers working within these fields is constantly increasing and represents both original theoretical frameworks, such as Lublin’s School of Ethnolinguistics, and developments and applications of those theoretical frameworks proposed by Ronald Langacker, George Lakoff, and Mark Johnson (among others) in the late 1970s and 1980s in California. These models have been internationally recognized and adapted to local contexts. They were made their way to Poland in the 1990s.
