Sense of belonging to Latvia in Latvian- and Russian-speaking residents of Latvia
2019

The conceptualisation of austerity in the Portuguese, Spanish and Irish press
2017
The aim of this chapter is to analyse the conceptualisation of austerity in three different European cultures by identifying metaphorical expressions used in one representative newspaper of the Portuguese, the Spanish and the Irish press between 2011 and 2012. The metaphors were identified by searching for three keywords from the field of economy and politics (austeridade-austeridad-austerity, corte-recorte-cut and divida-deuda-debt) and were then classified according to the type of schema they instantiate, namely, propositional schema, image schema or event schema. Assuming the general framework of Cultural Linguistics and corpus-based and discourse-based approaches to conceptual metaphor,…

The paper deals with geographical names in Silesia deriving from the names of tree species. An analysis of the names derived from appellatives, allows for a reconstruction of the categorization methods of the world, anthropological conceptualization, and a popular image of reality. Name creators choose names derived from the appellatives which are for certain reasons important and valuable for them, from the existing collection of names. For example, the following names of trees and shrubs become a productive toponymic base: oak, birch, alder; they belong to the basic categorization level and are important for the rural community due to their usable and practical significance (in constructi…

2019
The paper summarizes the first stage of development of a new subfield of linguistics known as linguistic memory research, and poses three ąuestions which are important for its further development: what are the mutual relations and tangents between language and memory (both individual and collective), what are the mutual relations between linguistic memory research and the related field of cognitive ethnolinguistics (as well as such disciplines in humanities as historiography and theoretical archaeology), and lastly, in what areas can linguistic memory research and ethnolinguistics support each other most effectively. A greater part of the paper is devoted to a brief overview of the ten prob…
La tipicità “esposta”. Cibi e nomi nei siti web dei comuni della Sicilia centro-occidentale
2012
More and more frequently, Italian municipalities, including those in Sicily, are intent on building an 'identity' profile through initiatives of various kinds. These include the use of displaying (mainly for tourism purposes) their landscape, architectural, historical and cultural assets in general on their websites. In these telematic showcases a more or less ample space is sometimes dedicated to food 'typicality', pursuing - consciously or unconsciously - the more general strategies of 'marketing nostalgia'. My aim in this essay is simply to make a reconnaissance and an initial summary examination of the gastronomic categories and specific dishes that are more or less frequently perceived…

In the year 2012 – for the first time in the history of mankind – international tourist arrivals exceeded the milestone of one billion tourists globally, and within merely the 20 years’ time, i.e. between 1995 and 2015, the number of people travelling abroad as tourists more than d o u b l e d. The phenomenon also refers to the inbound tourism in Poland – with more than 16 million international tourists who visited our country in 2015. Obviously, on the one hand, the fact is highly beneficial to the state’s international prestige and economy, but on the other one – it does creat…
