The article contends that, within the contemporary cultural landscape, the transformative potential of poetic expression risks being co-opted by aestheticizing practices prevalent in consumer culture. As a result, the subversive nature of poetic utterance is somewhat diluted, as it becomes assimilated into commodifying forces. However, the article also suggests ...

Immortality is obtained with the help of magic potions and rituals or in some unexpected way. The study shows that unexpected immortality is ...

The findings reveal that the intentional omission is predominantly implicit and the employment of inference cannot fill all semantic gaps, thus intrigue is preserved. However, in some film synopses intrigue is expressed explicitly. Our findings show the range of linguistic markers signaling the intentional omission of information in sample texts. This research paves the way for further investigations into how intrigue is created in promotional film texts, such ...

Second, the prevalence of placeholders in the Request communicative move was found, accounting for the Request’s role in both initiating a new act and completing the previous one by renaming the vague referent. Third, a more ...

On the one hand, the concept of a rhetorical question is given a clear definition, allowing the term to be introduced into the linguistic framework, and on the other hand, the actual usage of this expression in discourse is described. It is shown that the general principle of using the word ‘rhetorical’ in discourse in relation to a question is that this question is ‘not genuine’ in some way, i. e. it is a question that is not being asked ...

Other Times in particular. The metaphor of the rhizome is expressed in the novel not only through the image of a giant fungal network, a mycelium, but also through a distinctive worldview based on the interconnectedness of all living things and all entities (human beings, living and non-living nature). Thus,...

“Behind my back, between one corner kick and the next, they had gassed three thousand people”: football in the Auschwitz concentration camp
The article analyzes the phenomenon of football in the German Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz between 1940 and 1945. Auschwitz was by no means the only concentration camp where football matches and even entire tournaments were held—other camps such as Buchenwald, Theresienstadt, and Gross-Rosen had their own championships. The duality of the concept of "sport" as interpreted by the camp administration is examined: for the Nazis, sport included not only competitions but also physical abuse...
