The word in the title is not only desemantized, but also loses its nominal features, at the same time acquiring verbal properties. As a result, the boundary, which should run between the title and the beginning of the poem, is blurred. At the same time, “Nystwan” acquires a special emotional strength, which puts ...

The process breaks down into several elements like nomination, categorization, conceptualization and a spatial map of reality (mental image). Nemerov on behalf of the artist creates a map-type representation while Miłoszʼs philosopher accentuates the temporal component of the spatial image, proposing ...

Pushkin’s position consists of two elements: the presence of a bystander in the text and compassion for Evegenii who falls victim to the flood. Pushkin combines an ...

They reflect the picture of the world developed in a certain linguistic culture. Culture chooses a language unit to express its meanings, giving it new ...
