    Półświatek przestępczy w studium etnograficznym Stanisława Cerchy na temat XIX-wiecznego Kleparza – postscriptum językoznawcze

    No full text
    This article focused on 19th-century vocabulary used by thieves operating in Kleparz near Kraków. The author discusses the vocabulary extracted from the text by Stanislaw Cercha „Kleparz, przedmieście Krakowa przed 50 laty”; he points out the etymology of the words, hypothesises about the provenience of the lexis, and assesses the novelty of the words against the notation in existing studies. The author’s aim is to demonstrate the necessity of including ethnographic texts in discussions about the development and history of thieves’ jargon. The premise is that when studying historical vocabulary belonging to social varieties of language, particularly as recorded in diverse sources (such as folkloric works, crime novels, or popular science studies), adopting a broad, inclusive perspective is essential. As the analysis reveals, this approach opens the door to re-examining widely accepted theses and theories about thieves’ jargon – for example, the chronology of the emergence of specific forms and meanings, processes of semantic change, the origins of particular lexical items, and the increasingly visible trend of this jargon becoming less secret and infiltrating other language varieties

    No full text
    Die Medienlinguistik besitzt bestimmte Forschungsgegenstände und -objekte, Methoden und Begrifflichkeiten. Sie wendet sich dem medialen Gebrauch der Sprache mit diversen kommunikativen Handlungen, Mustern und Strategien zu. Die allgemeine Medienlinguistik entwickelt eine kontrastive Forschungsperspektive, die auf dem kontrastierenden Vergleich von Medientexten aus sprachlicher, kultureller, diachroner und medialer Sicht beruht. Im Beitrag werden zunächst der Forschungsgegenstand der Medienlinguistik umrissen, die Beziehungen mit anderen Disziplinen bestimmt, Entwicklungstendenzen im germanistischen, anglistischen und polonistischen Bereich besprochen sowie zwei Aufgaben- und Verfahrensmodelle dargestellt, um im Schlussteil aktuelle Herausforderungen für die allgemeine und kontrastive Medienlinguistik formulieren zu können.Media linguistics has well-founded research subjects and objects, methods and terminology. It focusses on the use of language in the media with various communicative acts, patterns and strategies. General media linguistics develops a contrastive research perspective based on the contrasting comparison of media texts from a linguistic, cultural, diachronic and medial perspective. The article begins by outlining the subject of research in media linguistics, defining the relationships with other disciplines, summarising development trends in German, English and Polish linguistics and presenting two task and procedural models in order to formulate current challenges for general and contrastive media linguistics in the final section

    Der vorliegende Beitrag setzt sich mit der Problematik des Übersetzens von den in einen literarischen Text eingebetteten fachsprachlichen Elementen auseinander. Anhand des Romans De verdovers der niederländischen Schriftstellerin Anna Enquist wird eruiert, wie die Übersetzerin des Werkes ins Deutsche in ihrer strategischen Herangehensweise an den zu übersetzenden Text mit den Elementen der medizinischen Fachsprache im Translationsprozess umgegangen ist. In Anlehnung an das Paradigma der anthropozentrischen Translatorik sowie die Annahmen der Scenes-und-Frames-Semantik, die eine theoretisch-methodologische Basis der dargebotenen Analyse darstellen, werden mögliche Gründe der getroffenen Entscheidungen erwogen, die zur Lösung der Translationsprobleme führten.The present article explores the issue of translating elements of LSP embedded in a literary text. Using the novel De verdovers by the Dutch author Anna Enquist as an example, it examines, how the translator of the work into German addressed elements of medical language in her strategic approach to the text in the translation process. Drawing on the paradigm of anthropocentric translatorics as well as the assumptions of scenes-and-frames semantics, which constitute the theoretical and methodological foundation of the presented analysis, the article scrutinises possible motivations behind the translator’s decisions that contributed to the resolution of translation problems

    Góry ukryte, wielka woda. Przestrzeń wertykalna i ruch w „Sonetach krymskich” oraz „Lirykach lozańskich” Adama Mickiewicza

    No full text
    The article presents a detailed analysis of two poetic cycles by Adam Mickiewicz—the Crimean Sonnets and Lausanne Lyrics—through categories of vertical space and movement. The main purpose of the article is to outline the image of the mountains presented in the poems. Mountains are often not described nor depicted literally, but traces of them can be found in the vertical lines that frequently appear in the Sonnets. The Lyrics, however, operate within different dimensions and dynamics of movement and space, pointing to a different natural object. The philosophicalexistential outlook of the lyrical subjects is also distinct, and that distinction becomes apparent in the ways both poems portray spatial functions

    Brutalny kontakt cielesny z dzikością Appalachów: ból, śmierć i odwrócona retoryka gwałtu w filmie „Deliverance” (1972)

    No full text
    The article invokes a resurgent interest in John Boorman’s 1972 Hollywood classic Deliverance, spurred by the fiftieth anniversary of its release. The author considers the film’s reversal of the rhetoric of rape and sexual violence committed on nature by the extraction industry in Appalachia. Deliverance on the one hand reinforces, and on the other hand modifies region’s ill repute by dramatizing a clash between the grotesque model of local “uncouth” masculinity with the privileged masculinity of young, metropolitan professionals seeking to experience an encounter with the wilderness; a masculinity shaped in the context of the rapacious development of technology and industry in the USA at the turn of the 1960s and 1970s. The article analyzes the growing enmity between the “interlopers” and the local “hillbillies” that leads to sexual violence and a rape committed by the latter group on one of the tourists. The conclusion of the article points to the fact that the narrative of Deliverance makes use of a rhetorical inversion by employing the figure of chiasmus that evokes the process of contamination. Owing to this strategy, the fi lm offers viewers a glimpse of the ambivalence and equivocality of Appalachia, a region that has been assigned the role of abject in American culture

    Miasto urojone

    My critical analysis of the book under review has shown that its premises are factually unfounded, leading to unwarranted and far-fetched conclusions. The argument of the book centres on spatio-historical issues and primarily results in a judgment on sensitive events from the time of the Second World War and the Holocaust. The review focuses on the mechanism behind constructing the historical report with Rabka-Zdrój as its particular example. The numerous factual errors I have identified prompt my criticism of the anthropological analyses offered by the text. First and foremost I take issue with the account of the Goral population in terms of colonial discourse and with the use of the “robber myth” and the construct of “cleansing” to capture the Rabka inhabitants’ postwar mindset

    Sherlock Holmes i „szerloki”. O początkach pewnego zjawiska literackiego z pierwszej dekady XX wieku

    Sherlock Holmes appeared on the banks of the Vistula at the end of the 19th century as the protagonist of stories printed in the press in the 1896–1900 period. At that time, the novel The Sign of Four was published (in 1898), followed by The Hound of the Baskervilles (in 1902), translated by Eugenia Żmijewska. In 1907, Jan Fiszer, a printer and editor from Warsaw, published a series of paperback editions under the shared title of Szerlok Holmes i jego przygody [Szerlok Holmes and His Adventures], and in Lviv the same was done by Jan Maniszewski and Józef Meinhardt with the series Ciekawe przygody detektywa-geniusza Sherlocka Holmesa [Interesting Adventures of the Detective-Genius Sherlock Holmes] (1908). The infatuation with the literary adventures of the English detective proved so strong that it paved the way for his continued and expanding presence in Polish popular consciousness, not limited to literary works but also comprising theatrical adaptations performed in Kraków and Łódź (1906). The popularity of the detective also contributed to the emergence of a literary phenomenon colloquially known as ‘the sherlock’ — essentially describing stories penned by anonymous authors featuring Sherlock Holmes (spelled Szerlok Holms/Szerlok Holmes/Scherlock Holmes/Sherlock Holmes/Sherlok Holmes) as the protagonist. The Polish-language ‘sherlocks’ basically consisted of two series: the Warsaw-based Tajemnicze przygody Szerloka Holmesa słynnego ajenta śledczego [The Mysterious Adventures of Sherlok Holmes, the Famous Investigative Agent] and Sherlok Holmes. Tygodnik Kryminalny [Sherlok Holmes: A Crime Fiction Weekly] (1909–1910), published by Aleksander Ripper and printed in Kraków. Along with the development of the popularity of ‘the sherlock’ as a model of entertainment literature came the concept’s evolution — in contemporary literary studies the term is used to denote a broader category of unambitious adventure stories, not limited to the adventures of the English detective from 221B Baker Street. It also encompasses stories of other, former heroes of the mass imagination: Nick Carter, Albertini — the king of acrobats and detectives — as well as Lord Lister, Alaska Jim, and Ethel King

    De impact van stripvertaling op taal- en vertaalvaardigheid in de NVT-klas

    No full text
    This article explores this topic through a case study involving Master’s students from the Dutch Studies programme at the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin (KUL), who translated comics from Polish into Dutch as part of a Dutch as a Foreign Language (NVT, for Nederlands als vreemde taal) course. The initial section provides an analysis of the distinctive features and language use characteristic of comics as a multimodal genre. This is followed by an examination of the translation challenges encountered by the students, supported by illustrative examples from their work. The discussion highlights how these challenges reveal both linguistic complexities and didactic opportunities. Ultimately, the fi ndings suggest that the translation of comics contributes meaningfully to learners’ linguistic development and intercultural competence, while also enhancing motivation and engagement in the foreign language classroom
