Narrating Change in Semiotic Terms – A Diachronic Study of the Polish Press Discourse

PHILOLOGIA – Sprachwissenschaftliche Forschungsergebnisse

Using insights from social semiotics and multimodality, this book examines the linguistic, visual and compositional character of the Polish press between 1944 and 1991, the period which marks several defining moments in Polish history, as well as the era of communism and the breakthrough period of political transformation.

The book primarily aims to demonstrate how political and social change manifested itself at the level of press discourse. Using examples from […]

Adolescence with Polish in a German Town

The Case of Regensburg

PHILOLOGIA – Sprachwissenschaftliche Forschungsergebnisse

Already in the first generation of children born abroad to migrant parents, a language shift to the language of the host country and a loss of the heritage language frequently occurs. While some migrant parents talk to their children in their own mother tongues, a contrary scenario is no exception. In families including a Polish speaking parent or parents living in Germany, German frequently becomes the only language used for communication by members of the second […]

The Language-Centric Approach to Creativity in Translation

TRANSLATOLOGIE – Studien zur Übersetzungswissenschaft

The monograph The Language-Centric Approach to Creativity in Translation focuses on the linguistic dimension of creativity in translation – an aspect often overlooked in favour of cognitive, psychological, cultural, or educational perspectives. Drawing on Quine’s principle of ontological relativity, the study positions translation as a distinct field of inquiry, arguing for the coexistence of multiple concepts of creativity within Translation Studies, each based on […]

Phonetically conditioned lenition processes

PHILOLOGIA – Sprachwissenschaftliche Forschungsergebnisse

The term phonetically-conditioned lenition processes, which is also the title of the book, refers to the phonological processes whose output is thought to be linked directly to physical properties of the speech apparatus, of which inertia appears to be particularly important. Given that the influence of inertia manifests itself in accelerated movements when the moving organ needs to abruptly change direction, phonetically-conditioned processes are likely to take […]

Ktistai. Zu Funktion und Ikonographie mythischer und historischer Stadtgründer in der griechischen Kultur

Schriften zur Klassischen Archäologie

Als bedeutende und relevante Protagonisten sind Stadtgründer vornehmlich in der althistorischen Forschung behandelt worden. Aber auch in archäologischen Arbeiten, hier allerdings ausnahmslos in Aufsatzform, hat die Thematik Einzug erfahren. Zumeist wurden hierbei einzelne Aspekte oder Städte betrachtet, während bei den historischen Arbeiten ein Schwerpunkt vornehmlich auf die Frage nach der Historizität bestimmter Vorgänge gesetzt wurde.

The British Council and Poland in the 1940s – Cultural Propaganda

Schriften zur Geschichtsforschung des 20. Jahrhunderts

„Dr. Klaudiusz Bobowski’s book on the British propaganda booklets of the 1940s concerns an important part of the historical and sociological background of World War II. The British Council booklets were meant to be read by Polish military personnel in the British armed forces as an introduction of sorts to the culture and the civilization of Britain. At the same time the booklets were in many ways subject to biases and as such furnish Bobowski with many examples of what […]
