The paper focuses on an interactional cognitive model of linguistic meaning (Lewandowska-Tomaszczyk 1987, 1996) and a re-conceptualization of an original SL message as received by the TL addressee in an SL to a TL communication (Lewandowska-Tomaszczyk 2010). Meaning is assumed to be constructed and emerge with the flow of discourse, forming a blended entity, which combines, in the case of monolingual...

Firstly, the concept of intersemiotic translation – introduced by Jakobson – which has been found to have been interpreted not quite in line with the author's intention and which denotes translation of linguistic messages via nonlinguistic...
The study involves learning the first language by children. The author starts with describing external environment, where the process of getting familiar with the language and learning the mother tongue proceeds (family and peers' environment and institutional environment – school). The author mentions the theories describing the way the language is learned, and among others those which reveal how...
The word perspectives refers to the future and to forecasted opportunities i.e. to the third part of the science model: diagnosis – evaluation – forecast - application. Due to the fact that the best way for forecasting future is its creation (P.F. Drucker), the opportunities should be changed for objectives: (a) researchers' interest in dynamic transformations of communication-language reality in...
The main aim of this article is to present a method of analysis of texts from the field of languages for special purposes, worked out by a Burkhard Schaeder, and to use this method to analyze one chosen text from the field of economics: an offer. The conclusions from this analysis are thought to be used in teaching the German language of economics to the budding translators and interpreters. Budding...
In 2005 the Faculty of Polish Studies of the Jagiellonian University in Kraków launched a two-year MA program in teaching Polish as a foreign language. This article discusses the MA curriculum, focusing especially on three types of courses: methodology of linguistic research, Polish linguistics and didactics of Polish as a foreign language compared to didactics of other foreign languages. The author...
In the didactic chain, the teacher influences the student with the help of specified utterances (here: texts) and specified didactic methods in such a way as to shape specific skills of the student. More precisely, the teacher influences the student in such a way that the student develops the skills which constitute the aim of the science. Thus, the didactic chain is characterised by interactivity...

The author then makes an attempt to determine to which activities of the translator the expression "audiovisual translation" refers – in other words, she makes an attempt to define the name "audiovisual...
According to the anthropocentric definition of information by F. Grucza (1997), information is to be perceived as a dynamic individual phenomenon rather than a spatially determined static mental entity. Stimuli impinging on the receptor's receptive field are identified by the receiver of a given piece of information as an individual phenomenon as well as categorized (on the basis of stimulus' distinctive...
The article presents the results of deliberations on the specific genre of texts which is named as "a preface" or "a foreword in a scientific monograph".

Generally, each text of this type consists of: (i) a title page, (ii) a table of contents, (iii) a foreword/...
The aim of the article is to present the possibilities of application of eye tracking in translation studies. Thanks to the development of noninvasive methods for measuring eye motion and computer technologies witch allows to record and analyze the huge volume of data that eye movement generates, eye tracking research expands intensively, particularly reading research, marketing research, human-computer...
