dc.description.abstract | The subject of the monograph is the conceptualization of selected altered
states of consciousness (e.g. sleep, dream, meditation and hypnosis) in the Italian
language.
Research done, and thus presented in the monograph is based predominantly
on cognitive theories that recognize the embodied character of thought,
which is reflected in the first part of the book as it depicts such issues as a development
of the concept and a role of image schemas, cognitive theory of the
metaphor by George Lakoff and Marc Johnson (1980, 1999), enhanced by its critical
revision by Christa Baldauf (1997) and Olaf Jäkel (2003), as well as Lakoff’s
classification of idealized cognitive models. Nevertheless, to acknowledge the
role of the pioneers of cognitive studies, its first chapter compares the idea of
the mind in cognitive theories by both the first and the second generation of
cognitive scientists.
The chapter 2.4., due to the related subject area and chosen analytical
methods, presents the works by Iwona Nowakowska-Kempna on the conceptualization
of feelings and emotions (1986, 1995, 2000) and a study by Bogusław
Bierwiaczonek on the concept of love (2002) as the examples of the analysis in
which the formerly described conceptual models were applied.
A theoretical part of the monograph ends with a sketch of issues concerning
the multifariousness of terms, approaches and criteria of classification of
thematic roles, concluded with a choice of the thematic proto-roles theory by
David Dowty (1991) as an auxiliary tool in the analysis of verbs that express
the change of a state of consciousness.
A thorough description of the conceptualization of selected states, presented
in part two, is preceded with consideration of the definitions of altered states of
consciousness, as well as a selection of a term, among many of such in Italian,
that would render them in most accurate way. Owing to the linguistic character
of the book, dictionary definitions were of greater importance than specialist
ones from the fields of psychology or psychiatry.
To provide the reader with amplitude of conceptualization of the selected
altered states of consciousness, the research was based on a divergent corpus
of 430 texts, one-third of which are statements and comments placed on blogs
as well as in the Internet fora. Specialist and popular science articles concerning
health issues, and the human brain and mind functioning are numerous in the book. Other examples aim to illustrate altered states of consciousness from the
perspectives of philosophy, religion, folklore, or literature.
The rendering presented in the book reflects contemporary conceptualizations,
for the analyzed material consists of texts published on the Internet in
the last fifteen years in the main; to a lesser extent it includes print or electronic
publications from the 1980s and 1990s.
Each analysis juxtaposes a dictionary definition of a state, its characteristics,
its links with other states of consciousness, as well as metaphorical models of
a given state that are classified according to a degree of complexity of metaphorical
projection, and mutual correlations between conceptualizations. The analysis
is enriched with a delineation of the thematic proto-roles under the conditions of
persistence or a change of a particular state of consciousness. Owing to this fact,
it is possible to determine whether a person going through such experience is
able to control it, is subject to it in a conscious way and with no external force,
or has no influence on it. Each analysis ends with a conclusion of the research
which is presented in a form of a list of selected conceptualizations, where the
frequency of emergence of certain metaphors can be found.
The first part of the concluding chapter discusses all the models of the
analyzed states of consciousness as presented in patterns that illustrate relations
between particular conceptualizations of a certain state. Conclusions include
a juxtaposition of similarities and differences among the conceptualizations of
states of consciousness as well as a degree of complexity of the source domain
structure projected on each of the analyzed concepts.
The analysis presented in the book on the basis of which the conceptualizations
of sleep, dream, meditation and hypnosis have been depicted and compared,
paves the way for further comparative research. Also, it invokes reflection on
the nature of the relationship between the concepts of sleep and death in the
Italian language in the light of the unidirectionality hypothesis of metaphorical
mapping. | pl_PL |
