HISTORY OF LINGUISTIC THOUGHT
(Part I)
The lecture deals with the history of linguistic thought in the West, from ancient Greece up to the
end of the eighteenth century. Recurrent themes are examined, such as the origin of language,
the relationship between language, thought, and the world, attempts at language classification,
or the place of the study of language vis-a-vis other disciplines. The interests peculiar to each
period are looked at with the view towards assessing the achievements of that period in its own
terms, as well as establishing their relevance for the later development of linguistics. Wherever
possible, the presentation is based not only on secondary literature and commentaries, but also
on original primary sources (see the References section below).

MEDIA AND ITS DISCOURSES
Interactive lecture
The topic of the lecture grows out of the general interest in media discourses, accompanied by a
conviction about an effect that media have on communication and social life in general.
Strategies of identity construction and social networking will be discussed along with
mechanisms of manipulating content.
The aim of this course is to introduce media discourses and the specific features of
communicating via new technologies, with a distinction between ‘old’ and ‘new’ media
considered (and questioned). the basic terms related to media communication (e.g. nonsequentiality, interactivity, synchronicity, multimodality). Students will learn about the common
practices of media use, as well as about the production and reception of media discourses in the
context of other discourses. Drawing from their personal experience students will be required to
design (but not conduct) individual study projects involving relevant data collection and
conducting empirical analyses.
The final grade will include the evaluation of (1) student’s class participation (attendance, active
participation) and (2) short presentation of an outline of an individual research project as well as
the result of the final (written) examination.

THE MARGINAL HENRY JAMES
This lecture course will focus on the work of Henry James, particularly the later, short fiction
such as “The Beast in the Jungle”, “The Altar of the Dead”, “The Figure in the Carpet”, and The
Turn of the Screw. It will look at some of the more recent critical responses to this work and the
discovery by some critics of “the other Henry James”, a James of the margins and of the
unspoken.
The course will begin by trying to establish a sense of the older understanding of James as a
novelist of manners and as the most eminent American representative of “European” realism in
nineteenth-century fiction (Lionel Trilling’s seminal essay on The Princess Casamassima
exemplifies such an approach). It will then attempt to examine the Henry James of recent critical
theory, who occupies a more decentred, spectral and melodramatic place than that embodied in
this classic understanding of James as “the Master”.
A central aspect of the later work of James – and one to which the course will devote some
attention – is that of his dramatization of the secret, both as a figure of the final inaccessibility of
the text in such stories as “The Figure in the Carpet” and as a pervasive hermetic quality that is
evident in the characters and predicaments of such stories as “The Beast in the Jungle” and
“The Jolly Corner”. Two Jamesian critics who are especially relevant with regard to these
questions are J. Hillis Miller and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick. In addition Jacques Derrida’s book
The Gift of Death will provide a wider theoretical perspective for an understanding of the
Jamesian secret. The course will also examine James’s development of the Gothic tale, most
notably in The Turn of the Screw, and there will be some discussion of the work of Shoshana
Felman and T.J. Lustig on the ghostly. The course will try, in connection with James’s
“unrealistic” preoccupation with the daemonic and the sacred, to come to some theoretical
understanding of James’s use of quasi-religious structures and images in such works as “The
Altar of the Dead” and The Wings of the Dove.
In these late works, it might be concluded, James was moving beyond nineteenth-century
literary discourses of realism, naturalism and the romance into the more self-reflexive domain of
modernist representation. It is this shift that seems to motivate the elusiveness, the aporias and
the spectrality of his late writing.

SELECTED ISSUES IN ENGLISH HISTORICAL LINGUISTICS (2012/2013)
Course format
Lectures: 8 meetings 1.5h each, 4 per semester.
Course description
The focal point of this lecture series is the construction of the history of English and its relation to
the world of linguistic data. It will explore issues of ideology, preconceived notions of history and
linguistic development, as well as consequences of composing an artefactual narrative about
linguistic history. Each meeting will be devoted to a different facet of linguistic history of English
and its story as recreated by mainstream publications.

NATION, POETRY AND PROTEST: TOPICS IN CELTIC LITERATURE
The lectures in this series will introduce students to the literatures of medieval and modern
Wales and Ireland written in the native, Celtic languages. With the earliest texts to be dated to
the late sixth century, Welsh and Irish boast the oldest vernacular literatures in Western Europe.
Today all the Celtic languages continue to serve as vehicles for a sophisticated modern
literature, and in addition thrive in journalism, cinema and television. The approach of the
lectures will be to introduce students to Celtic literature through consideration of representative
classic works from the Welsh and Irish canon. The course will begin with the sixth-century Welsh
heroic elegy The Gododdin, and the ninth-century heroic Irish prose epic Táin Bó Cúailnge ‘The
Cattle-Raid of Cooley’. The High Middle Ages will be represented by the Welsh prose collection
The Mabinogion and the poetry of Dafydd ap Gwilym. The early modern period will be
represented by poetry of protest in Irish written in the wake of the English conquest and Brian
Merriman’s bawdy social critique Cúirt an Mheán Oíche ‘The Midnight Court’. Lectures on the
modern period will consider the Irish Revival, Máirtín Ó Cadhain and Flann O’Brien’s parodic An
Béal Bocht ‘The Poor Mouth’.
All texts will be read in English translation.

CRITICAL THINKING IN RESEARCH
The main issues are: the nature of scientific knowledge, the process of locating and reading
sources, the problems of defining and describing, the differences between observation and
experimentation, the logic of hypothesizing and inferring, the nature of explanation, the conduct
of scientific criticism, and the practicalities of thesis research and writing. The seminar relies on
students' reading of assigned and recommended literature, their questioning attitude and active
participation in classroom discussion. All three elements count towards credit. Passing final test
is required for course completion.

CURRENT ISSUES IN SYNTACTIC THEORY
The course aims at the presentation of the recent developments of the Minimalist Program. The
lectures focus on the range of issues central for the minimalist explorations, such as: locality and
economy of derivation, narrow syntax and the interfaces, phrase structure and linearization,
sentence cartography and the structure of the left periphery, etc. The course is directed to all
PhD students majoring in linguistics, also to those in linguistic domains other than syntax, for
whom it is an opportunity to update on the recent endeavors in generative syntactic theory.
Lecture Topics:
1. A generative view of Language. The overview of the Minimalist Program
2. Levels of representation
3. Theta and Case domains
4. Phrase structure. Linearization
5. Binding Theory. Features and feature checking
6. Economy of Derivation
7. Information structure. A minimalist view
8. Information structure. A minimalist view

HISTORIA JĘZYKOZNAWSTWA cześć III, wykład
The aim of these lectures is to show the doctoral students that the disciplines oriented towards
the study of language and its manifestation forms in utterances, are mutually concatenated. It
will be stressed that in opposition to the principles of structuralism, in which language has been
abstracted from man as its user, post-structuralist approaches expose language in relation to
environmental conditionings of individuals and collectivities who communicate for realizing their
personal needs and social requirements in concrete communicative situations. The subject
matter of discussion constitute the modern directions of study that have been developed in the
20th century. The emphasis will be put in particular on the philosophy of language in the era of
post-modernism, textlinguistics, pragmatics, discursivism, cognitivism and contact linguistics. A
separate attention is devoted to the problems of meaning with special reference to the semantics
of possible worlds.
Eight lectures (2 X 45 minutes)

POMIĘDZY „PRAWDĄ” A FIKCJĄ. WSPÓŁCZESNE PROBLEMY LITERATURY FAKTU
Zajęcia mają na celu zaznajomienie studentów z problematyką współczesnej literatury faktu,
która zdobywa obecnie coraz silniejszą pozycję na rynku ksiąŜki Analizie zostaną poddane
strategie, którymi posługują się pisarze oraz ich wydawcy w celu promowania literatury faktu.
Kluczowym tematem rozważań będzie pytanie o miejsce „prawdy” w nie- fikcji, która nierzadko
dryfuje w kierunku powieści.
Cykl wykładów ma za zadanie przeanalizowanie różnych aspektów literatury faktu. Wstępne
rozważania będą dotyczyły kwestii gatunkowych: problemów genologicznych związanych z
definiowaniem tego typu tekstów. Posługując się istniejącymi próbami klasyfikacji literatury faktu,
będziemy wspólnie testować ich przydatność. Następnie zastanowimy się nad kwestią
„czystości” i odrębności literatury faktu, która jest nierzadko definiowana przez statuty
przyznawanych nagród literackich, strategie wydawnicze i promocyjne. Kolejna faza rozważań
będzie dotyczyć konkretnych pisarzy, którzy uprawiane przez siebie pisarstwo definiują jako
niefikcjonalne, bądź też poruszają się na granicy gatunków: W.G. Sebalda, Martina Pollacka,
Franka Westermana, Moniki Maron, Ryszarda Kapuścińskiego. Szczególną uwagę zwrócimy na
sposób w jaki literatura faktu podejmuje problemy przedstawialności przeszłości (chociażby
Holokaustu).
