{"title":"Patterns of metaphor-metonymy interaction in animal-specific complex lexical units","authors":"Robert Kiełtyka","doi":"10.24425/linsi.2019.129411","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.24425/linsi.2019.129411","url":null,"abstract":"CONCEPTS – ANIMALS Animal-related composite expressions used with reference to abstract concepts may be exemplifi ed by horse sense ‘strong common sense’ or shaggy dog story ‘a story with an absurd ending’. The analysis of the complex unit horse sense shows that the left-hand constituent is metaphorically conditioned, which is in accord with the defi nition proposed by the OED, according to which this complex unit is used with reference to ‘a coarse, robust, and conspicuous form of shrewdness often found in ignorant and rude persons; plain, practical good sense’. One may hypothesize that the metaphorical meaning of the element horse is interpreted as ‘coarse, plain’. In turn, in the case of shaggy dog story, the complex unit shaggy dog is based on a metonymic projection that can be formalized as ANIMAL FOR ITS CHARACTERISTIC ATTRIBUTE. 7. Animal-related surnames and place names From the historical point of view, surnames of the type Shepherd ‘sheep + herd’ can be viewed as compounds/complex lexical units. As far as its semantic motivation is concerned, the complex lexical unit shepherd ‘sheep tender’ derived from sheep + herd can be analysed in terms of the metaphorical relation between the two constituents where the source and the target represent two different cognitive domains (ANIMAL + PERSON), while its use as a surname is PATTERNS OF METAPHOR-METONYMY INTERACTION... 251 motivated metonymically ANIMAL-RELATED OCCUPATION FOR PERSON ASSOCIATED WITH THAT OCCUPATION. Thus, the surname Shepherd results from the metonymic projection ANIMAL-RELATED OCCUPATION FOR NAME OF THE PROFESSIONAL GROUP OF PEOPLE which leads to another metonymic formation, that of NAME OF THE PROFESSIONAL GROUP OF PEOPLE FOR SURNAME OF A MEMBER OF THAT GROUP. The following complex surnames, obtained from Cottle (1967), can be classifi ed as derived from animal-related occupations: Calverd/Calvert ‘calf-herd’, Colthard/Colthart ‘colt-herd’, Cowherd ‘cow-herd’, Gossard ‘goose-herd’, Hoggard, Hoggart(h), Hoggett ‘hog-herd’, Oxnard ‘herder of oxen’. In the case of Shepperton ‘shepherds’ town’, the element –ton, which corresponds to OE tun ‘village’ or ‘town’, may be treated as a non-metonymic designation of places, which is why it is commonly found in toponyms. The animal-specifi c left-hand constituent is used to designate a given place in a unique way by supplying it with characteristic properties through the working of metonymy. Other animal-specifi c place names that can be accounted for in the same manner include: Bickerton ‘beekeepers’ place’, Calton ‘calf farm’, Cawton ‘calf farm’, Catton ‘(wild) cats’ valley’, Darton ‘deer enclosure’, Dufton ‘place with doves’, Fullerton ‘bird-catchers’ place’, Lambton ‘lamb farm’, Laverton ‘place with larks’, Notton ‘wether-sheep/cattle farm’, Oxton ‘place/farm where oxen are kept’. 7.1.

The exact purpose behind the production of this psalter, its role, as well as the reason for introducing extensive corrections to the Old English gloss remain unknown. By making the corrections the focal point of the study, the present paper builds a case for identifying Thomas Becket (or his associates) as the patron of the Eadwine Psalter, which seems to provide comprehensive answers to some baffl ing questions concerning this manuscript.","PeriodicalId":52527,"journal":{"name":"Linguistica Silesiana","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47692604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It seeks to shed more light on the experiencing of fi nancial concerns in adolescents who face the challenge of the foreign language learning process in the context of formal education. The participants of the empirical research were 609 students from 23 randomly selected classes of the six secondary grammar schools in Opole, southwest Poland. The results prove that fi nancial strain and worries are negatively related to achievement in the fi eld of foreign language learning. However, the social nature of language learning, as well as the students’ personality pro fi les, attachment patterns or perception of social support in adolescence also play a role. This paper examines foreign language attainment from the perspective of the student’s fi nancial worries.

Although most weak verbs are indeed regular, there remain some which belong to the irregular group, for example spend , put , make , burn . Apart from drawing a clearer distinction between strong and weak verbs in relation to the regular and irregular division, the aim of this paper is to explain where the irregularity of these irregular weak verbs comes from and to gather possible relicts still present in Modern English. The paper discusses 56 such irregular weak verbs without vowel alternations and 9 archa-isms preserving traces of such in fl ection. The 56 irregular weak verbs are divided into groups according to the patterns they display and they are additionally marked depending on whether: (1) they have less common irregular preterite and past participle forms, which can be labelled as “literary” or “poetic,” (2) they are literary themselves, (3) they have irregular preterite and past participle forms chie fl y in North American English, (4) they have regular variants. The initial plan included all irregular verbs but the extent of the problem coupled with the editorial limitations as to the size of the paper led to the following decisions: fi rst, to exclude the irregular strong verbs and save them for later analyses, and then, in the remaining irregular weak ones, to remove all those with vowel alternations (like keep , seek , lose , say ) and to concentrate on the verbs without vowel alternations (investigated in the present paper). It is hoped that the aims of this paper as well as their realization can serve to make the content of the historical grammar course more meaningful to students by linking it to the problems present in Modern English and to the why-questions related to the subject of their studies.","PeriodicalId":52527,"journal":{"name":"Linguistica Silesiana","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42911944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that disciplinary affiliation affects these phenomena, as more ELVs are found in psychology than in medicine. Both groups prefer speculative judgements and quotative evidence and most frequently use ELVs in Discussions. Yet, psychology authors are more balanced in their preferences and rely on a wider selection of frequent ELVs which are often combined with self-mention. Medical authors are more inclined towards deductive ELVs. Disciplinary differences are also observed in the choice of the specific ELVs, their frequency distributions and phraseology in the distinct RA sections.","PeriodicalId":52527,"journal":{"name":"Linguistica Silesiana","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46405532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
