Polish Flows
The contributors attempt to describe Polish rivers and lakes as a nexus of narratives about nature culture, pointing out those elements of the story around which scientific, political, media, social and ecological narratives are created. All of them influence the shape of reflection on the water ecosystem and its function in Polish education. The authors recreate old and contemporary Polish mythmaking narratives about Polish rivers and lakes and, by proposing a critical reading of them, try to develop new educational practices that would take into account the 21st century conditions related to the climate catastrophe. The context related to the crisis also opens up thinking about rivers to other categories (cooperation, solidarity, activism) than those that have been applicable in Polish education so far (national symbolism, utility).
Language, creoles, varieties
This book offers a selection of papers dealing with second language acquisition, foreign language teaching and creole linguistics inspired by the scientific legacy of Mauritian-born scholar Georges Daniel Véronique (Port-Louis, 1948). An important part of the book is devoted to the description of learner varieties with a focus on sociolinguistic factors, such as the learner situation – from asylum seekers to Erasmus students –, the degree of familiarity with the target language – having or not previous knowledge about a genetically related language –, the degree of literacy, and the type of instruction. Linguistic complexity, case marking, the use of self-positioning pronouns, verba...
Navigating Children’s Literature through Controversy
This collection focuses on the specific issue of controversy as a cross-sectional aspect of contemporary children’s and YA literature, in a spectrum stretching from national experiences, to explore the impact of specific historical, economic and social environments on the rise of controversies; to inter-national exchanges in which controversies are generated specifically by the interactions between cultures; to international contexts that deal with controversies relevant on a global scale. By adopting controversy as an adjustable lens for a joined consideration of literary themes, narrative or aesthetic solutions, translation choices, publishing and marketing decisions, and discursive practices, the volume establishes a diversified collection of chapters that offers new insight into functions of children’s and YA literature in contemporary culture.
Didactics of Polish as a Foreign and Second Language against the European Background
This volume starts with an overview of the history of teaching Polish as a foreign language from the beginning of the 16th century to 1939. The authors then present the rapid development of teaching Polish as a foreign language from 1992 to 2015. This is supplemented by information on the methodology of teaching Polish. In the next part they describe the didactics of the Polish language abroad, followed by the introduction of the Polish language policy and the promotion of Polish outside Poland. Then they present the teaching of Polish as a second language and the problems of communication. At the end, information is given about the achievements of European didactics in the field of teaching Polish as a foreign and second language. The volume concludes with a proposal for the creation of a didactics of European languages (including Slavic languages as well).
Wszyscy jesteśmy Judaszami
Figura Judasza od setek lat intrygowała artystów, myślicieli i literatów, którzy starali się dociec motywacji zdrajcy. Książka Wszyscy jesteśmy Judaszami zrodziła się z pytania, jak na sylwetkę Iskarioty spoglądali twórcy hebrajscy. Byli świadomi, że w świecie chrześcijańskim dwunasty apostoł jako chciwy i demoniczny wiarołomca stał się z jednej strony archetypem zdrajcy, a z drugiej – reprezentantem wszystkich Żydów. Czy podążali zatem za legendą niesławnego Judasza, czy może wprost przeciwnie – ukazywali go w lepszym świetle, tym samym dekonstruując brzemienne w skutki połączenie obrazu Żydów z nikczemnym zdrajcą? Autorka proponuje czytelnikom podr...
Vztah jazyka a komunikace v česko-slovensko-polské didaktické reflexi
Monografie představuje v naší lingvodidaktické produkci unikátní počin, neboť spojením odborníků na didaktiku mateřštiny z České republiky, ze Slovenska a z Polska – tří zemí jazykově, historicky, kulturně i sociálně blízkých – dává možnost pozoruhodného kontrastivního pohledu na hlavní téma publikace, totiž vztah jazyka a komunikace. Jeho řešení se jeví z pohledu výuky zmíněných jazyků i širšího mezinárodního pohledu jako zcela stěžejní při utváření učebního prostředí výuky mateřštiny, zkoumání a zlepšování její kvality a především zavádění jakýchkoli inovací. V česko-slovensko-polském prostředí monografie představuje práci, která se danému problému věnuje skutečně komplexně a do hloubky. Jako základní východisko z problémů, s nimiž se výuka češtiny, slovenštiny i polštiny v daných zemích potýká, autoři předkládají systémový komunikačně-funkční přístup, jehož souhrnnou elaboraci čtenář v publikaci nalezne.
Język Polski - 25 lat po Przełomie Die polnische Sprache - 25 Jahre nach der Wende
1989 – das Jahr der Wende. Polen und die polnische Gesellschaft haben sich seitdem sehr verändert. Verändert hat sich jedoch auch die polnische Sprache. Das 25. Jubiläum des Falls des Eisernen Vorhangs ist daher ein guter Anlass, um einmal über den Wandel in der polnischen Sprache nachzusinnen. "Jezyk Polski – 25 lat po Przelomie / Die polnische Sprache – 25 Jahre nach der Wende" beinhaltet Beiträge von herausragenden Polonistinnen und Polonisten, die sich mit der polnischen Sprache nach der Wende beschäftigen. Welche Tendenzen tatsächlich eingetreten sind und welche Tendenzen zukünftig eintreten könnten, bespricht dieser Sammelband. Neben Beiträgen zu morphologischen und wortbildnerischen Veränderungen werden diskurslinguistische Fragestellungen erhoben, Diskussionen um stilistische Veränderungen geführt sowie Nova auf syntaktischer und phraseologischer Ebene dargelegt. Verstärkt werden zudem genderlinguistische Fragen erörtert, die für die polnische Sprache heute von maßgeblicher Bedeutung sind. Dass sich dabei auch einzelne linguistische Disziplinen neuen Aufgaben stellen müssen, bleibt ebenso nicht verborgen.
Bibliographie Linguistique de L'annee 1999
Setting out the historical national and religious characteristics of the Italians as they impact on the integration within the European Union, this study makes note of the two characteristics that have an adverse effect on Italian national identity: cleavages between north and south and the dominant role of family. It discusses how for Italians family loyalty is stronger than any other allegiance, including feelings towards their country, their nation, or the EU. Due to such subnational allegiances and values, this book notes that Italian civic society is weaker and engagement at the grass roots is less robust than one finds in other democracies, leaving politics in Italy largely in the hands of political parties. The work concludes by noting that EU membership, however, provides no magic bullet for Italy: it cannot change internal cleavages, the Italian worldview, and family values or the country’s mafia-dominated power matrix, and as a result, the underlying absence of fidelity to a shared polity—Italian or European—leave the country as ungovernable as ever.
