Abstract

The article is good example of my close ties with the English Department. It was originally published in Studies in Honour of Janusz Arabski on the occasion of His 70th Birthday [Wysocka M. (ed.): On Language Structure, Acquisition and Teaching. Katowice: Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Śląskiego, 2009, 154—162]. Professor Janusz Arabski, whom I started to know as a student in the period 1975—1979, is the supervisor of my Ph.D. thesis written at the English Department. The topic of the article is connected with my habilitation project. Its completion resulted in my employment in the Institute of English (2008—2012) together with the continuation of existing and making many new friendships with the staff members of all the English Department.
