It investigates the range of applications and interpretations of the existing cognitive models, furnishing them with attested phraseological material to test their efficiency and universality. It is argued that the two theories can be viewed as complementary: whereas the theory of metaphor is productive in accounting for a wide range of conventional phraseological units, the theory of conceptual integration can be consistently applied to the analysis of modified phraseological units.U središtu su pozornosti ovoga rada dvije kognitivne lingvističke teorije, teorija metafore i teorija konceptualne integracije, te njihova uloga u nastanku i razumijevanju konvencionalnih i modificiranih frazeoloških jedinica.

Cilj istraživanja je utvrditi odnose između poredbenih frazema, poredbi, metafora i metonimija, karakteristike i strukturu poredbenih frazema, te identificirati specificna svojstva i tipove poredbenih frazema analizom korpusa engleskih i hrvatskih poredbenih frazema. Posebno se razmatraju primjeri varijacije i modifikacije, leksicki sastav i leksicki odnosi između poredbenih frazema, neizravno izricanje negacije i intenzifikacija znacenja, upotreba i stilska obilježja, te mehanizmi koji ravnaju tvorbom poredbenih frazema.

The specific translation tasks that we will target in this paper are translating culture-based items from English into Croatian, as well as translating phraseology. Further analysis focuses on whether the distribution of these cognitive mechanisms is the same for strategies targeting different language items and examines the reasons for possible unevenness, stipulating whether their established role in translation calls for and justifies their incorporation in translation theory, pedagogy, and practice.

We also looked at whether there are topic choice selection differences with respect to party affiliation and chamber, and finally, whether conversational topics chosen by male and female politicians correlate with any other category we measured in our corpus. The corpus was composed of 672 speeches by the female and 2,983 speeches by the male politicians. The speech transcripts were downloaded from the official repository Thomas and analyzed using the text analysis software Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) to identify the use of vocabulary related to seven conversational topics recorded by LIWC. The data was analyzed both quantitatively, using statistical analysis, and qualitatively, to determine if there are significant gender differences in speech topic selection. The analyses showed that there are overall gender and affili...

Cilj je na temelju podataka iz računalnih korpusa utvrditi na koje načine sheme dinamike sile ograničavaju promjene leksičko-gramatičkog ustrojstva glagolskih frazema u tim dvama jezicima. Rezultati pokazuju da su oblici u kojima se javljaju glagolski frazemi u engleskome i hrvatskome ograničeni na one vrste konstrukcija kojima se jezično izražavaju odnosi među sudionicima događaja unutar pojedine događajne sheme, a to su akcija, prijenos ili kretanje. Također se pokazuje da s obzirom na specifičnu vrstu sheme dinamike sile koju glagolski frazemi odražavaju varira i njihov stupanj promjenjivosti pa se javljaju u manjem ili većem broju oblika. Sve to pokazuje da promjenjivost glagolskih frazema istodobno ograničavaju značenje i gramatička struktura.

It is the edited and expanded new edition of Naciscione's Phraseological Units in Discourse: Towards Applied Stylistics, which was published in 2001. The first part deals with theoretical aspects of phraseological units, defining technical terms, key concepts, and key processes, whereas the second part presents the results of applied research. The book is divided into seven chapters, and includes the preface written by the paremiologist Wolfgang Mieder, a glossary, appendixes, an index of phraseological units, and a subject index. Naciscione begins the chapter on phraseology and cognitive stylistics by stressing the importance of style in literary and non-literary texts, and the combined methods that literary criticism and linguistics could provide to deal with the form and the function of language. Discourse analysis, as part of a discourse based approach, is a discipline that integrates the study of language and literature and aims to observe and explain language in discourse and text organization. Discourse of literature has become an important field of study for discourse analysis due to its value in language education. Naturally, this led to discourse stylistics, which uses discourse analysis to study literary texts, to become a new discipline and bring stylistic features into the focus of linguistic research. As far as phraseology is concerned, the author points out, style is necessary for the Prikazi knjiga Book reviews Rezensionen ɱ 94 Prikazi knjiga Book reviews-Rezensionen

Cilj je ovog rada u prvom dijelu ilustrirati univerzalnost i sveprisutnost metonimije kao kognitivnog mehanizma u različitim jezicima i ilustrirati njezinu moguću primjenu kao translatološkog alata. Analizom odabranih primjera prijevoda s engleskoga na hrvatski jezik pokazat ćemo da kod određenih semantičkih skupina kulturoloških pojmova postoji tendencija prema promjeni vrste metonimijskog preslikavanja u jeziku cilju. Nadalje ćemo ispitati motivaciju za ovu tendenciju ispitujući može li konzistentnost ove tendencije ukazivati na inherentnu razliku u metonimijski zasnovanom oblikovanju svijeta u dva promatrana jezika ili se pak radi o metonimiji kao translatološkom alatu koji služi kako bi se premostile kulturološke razlike između dva jezika. Metonimija se, dakle, ne koristi samo unutar pojedinog jezika kao kognitivni mehanizam nego se, kako pokazuje naš korpus odabranih primjera, može koristiti i kao premosnica između dvaju jezika u procesu prevođenja, što je još jedan dokaz koji potvrđuje njezinu univerzalnost.
