| Learning outcomes |
|
The aim of the seminar is to familiarise participants briefly with the most important metaphor theories, with a focus on the Conceptual Metaphor Theory of George Lakoff and Mark Johnson. In the seminar we will discuss the most important areas of metaphor for our thinking as well as familiarising ourselves with the basic mechanisms of their "functioning".
The seminars aim at expanding students' knowledge of current topics in contemporary modern linguistics. Students will become acquainted with reference literature concerning individual partial topics, they will be able to perform independent linguistic text analysis and apply their knowledge in their professional life. A special emphasis is laid on disciplines that have developed since the second half of the 20th century, after the so-called pragmatic turn. |
