Superhalogens and Superalkalis is a comprehensive volume designed as the go-to resource on the exciting and evolving topics of these special classes of atomic clusters and the acid salt that results from their interactions. The book details how these substances possess not only unusual structures but also unique properties which can be exploited for various applications. Superhalogens’ strong oxidizing capacity, resulting from their high-electron affinity, leads to their applications in the design of superacids, organic superconductors, and ionic liquids. The low ionization energy of superalkalis enables them to act as strong reducing agents, making them useful in the design of superbases ...
The book explores the conceptualization of the ‘heart’ as it is represented in 19 languages, ranging from broadly studied to endangered ones. Being one of the most extensively utilised body part name for figurative usages, it lends itself to rich polysemy and a wide array of metaphorical and metonymical meanings. The present book offers a rich selection of papers which observe the lexeme ‘heart’ from diverse perspectives, employing primarily the frameworks of cognitive and cultural linguistics as well as formal methodologies of lexicology and morphology. The findings are unique and novel contributions to the research of body-part semantics, embodied cognition and metaphor analysis, and in general, the investigation of the interconnectedness of language, culture, cognition and perception about the human body.
DOI: 10.12775/2847-2 „Punktem wyjścia do rozważań na temat wykorzystania socjologii i nauk jej pokrewnych w badaniach nad dwujęzycznością są najważniejsze założenia badaczy, których twórczość stanowi fundament dwudziestowiecznej lingwistyki oraz socjologii. Choć w pracach klasyków językoznawstwa oraz nauk społecznych znajdujemy wiele wspólnych teorii oraz bezpośrednich nawiązań, wszechstronne interdyscyplinarne badania bilingwizmu nie są bynajmniej oczywistością. Celem autora było wykazanie teoretycznych podstaw dla tego typu współpracy, wskazanie jej możliwych płaszczyzn, a także analiza przykładów zastosowania metodologii socjologicznej w lingwistyce kont...
