Short description:

The seminar will focus on the semantics of speech and text and discourse analysis from contemporary and historical perspectives. As language is not an autonomous entity, but one of the cognitive phenomena dependent on many extra-linguistic factors, we will look at lexis, text and discourse in a broad cultural and social context.

Full description:

The seminar will discuss the following topics:

1. Concepts of meaning. Lexical fields, WordNet type semantic networks. Semantic relations: synonymy, antonymy, polysemy, hypo/hyperonymy, partitive. polysemy, homonymy.

2. Keywords, basics of stylometry. Corpus analysis.

3. Discourse analysis from a cognitive perspective - interpretive frames, framing in discourse, theories of amalgams (mental spaces).

4. Discourse analysis in psychological and social contexts. Critical discourse analysis.

5. Linguistic image of the world: ways of reconstruction.

6. Metaphor in the text. Lakoff's and Johnson's view of the conceptual metaphor: metaphor in the classical and interactional view versus the conceptual metaphor, functions of the conceptual metaphor, the process of metaphorization (source and target domain)

7. Old Polish lexts as a source of knowledge on the Polish language and the different ways of its scientific analysis.

8. The author's language, the Polish language of a given epoch and the discourse analysis in the historical context - research possibilities and limitations. 9. Semantics of the old text - dictionary and textual analysis.

10. The linguistic image of the world and the study of stereotypes in the old texts.
