“In my mind’s eyes” („Oczyma duszy…”) (2019)

dr Olga Mastela

The monograph is an original study of the Polish reception of William Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale enriching Polish Shakespeare studies, historical literary studies, historical cultural studies, and translation studies relating to literary translations in Poland and their functioning in the Polish cultural polysystem. By constantly recalling Polish and foreign contexts, Olga Mastela not only studies the reception of The Winter’s Tale but also demonstrates the culture of Polish intelligentsia and its scholarly and cultural contribution to preserving the national culture in the period of Poland’s political absence in Europe when it was partitioned and its culture in its many aspects was being systematically destroyed.


 In her explorations of Polish translations of The Winter Tale, the author adopts a descriptive perspective, avoiding judgments and focusing instead on interpretative and cultural references.  Her overview of the characteristic features and consequences of translators’ choices is based on extensive translation knowledge. The translation expertise, along with a solid orientation in literary studies in general, especially the issues concerning Shakespeare’s language and oeuvre, resulted in a series of interesting, informative, and innovative insights into the “Polish” Shakespeare.

Conceptual Blending in Early Christian Discourse A Cognitive Linguistic Analysis of Pastoral Metaphors in Patristic Literature (2018)

dr hab. Aleksander Gomola, prof. UJ

The monograph is a cognitive linguistic exploration of the Christian metaphor of the church as a flock and investigates how it was employed in the patristic era (1st–5th c. AD) or in the period of the most dynamic development of Christian language, its concepts and conceptualizations. It proves that the apparently simple metaphor of the church as a flock was in actuality a very sophisticated conceptual tool used by early Christian authors to generate a number of novel meanings indispensable for the development of Christian doctrine.

Proces decyzyjny tłumacza (The Translator’s decision-making process) (2016)

dr hab. Maria Piotrowska prof. UJ

The Translator’s decision-making process is a first compendium of translation pedagogy on the Polish market, which presents the issues related to translator training in a modern and comprehensive way. The methodology of translator training is presented as a sub-discipline of Translation Studies and the key concept of strategic teaching is the theoretical foundation while discussing important methodological issues: types of education, educational objectives, specialisations, and translator’s competence. The work broadens the methodological horizons and is aimed at all readers interested in translator’s education – beginners, as well as experienced translation teachers, translation theorists, and practitioners.

The category of point of view in interpreting from the cognitive linguistics perspective : based on the Polish-English language pair (2015)

dr Łukasz Wiraszka

This monograph deals with an array of semantic shifts subsumed under the notion of speaker’s viewpoint that can be identified in conference interpreting. Based on Polish-English/English-Polish material, the study employs the conceptual framework of Cognitive Linguistics, particularly that of Cognitive Grammar, to shed light on the scale and nature of viewpoint shifts in their different categories and to explore the underlying patterns depending on the mode (consecutive vs. simultaneous) and direction of interpreting (English>Polish vs. Polish>English). Viewpoint is shown to be a semantic category that is prone to be ignored or distorted in the process of interpreting and hence implications are offered for interpreter education.

Communication and Information Technology in (Intercultural) Language Teaching (2013)

dr Mariusz Marczak

The topic of this book is in congruence with the current trends in foreign language education worldwide. On the one hand, it tackles the concept and implementation of intercultural language teaching; on the other, it analyses the circumstances in which information and communication technology may be utilised in the contemporary EFL classroom. Both intercultural teaching and Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) have been promoted by national/international educational documents in Europe, the USA and Asia, and endorsed by international organisations, including the Council of Europe and UNESCO. This book constitutes a pioneering attempt at establishing the role of ICT in English language and culture teaching within the Polish education system. However, the research instruments used within both research modules are applicable to other education systems worldwide, while the results obtained have implications for intercultural and computer-assisted language education in international contexts. The research results presented in the book highlight to the broad EFL profession a wide range of issues relating to the use of ICT in the foreign language classroom. They also offer materials writers, software designers and EFL teachers a set of criteria with which to evaluate the intercultural component of CALL software.
