THE DIRECTORS
WELCOME ADDRESS
Who runs the show
Dear Reader,
When over 30 years ago a university centre for modern languages
was established in Sosnowiec, there still prevailed the idea of
traditional philology combining research and instruction in
linguistics and literary studies. The radical changes that have taken
place in linguistics and the development of new methodologies
originating also beyond the field of language studies gradually led
to the formation of new academic specialties and consequently
new discourse communities. The foundation of the Institute of
English in 1995 was a natural consequence of the universal process
of academic specialization and the emergence of new research and
teaching areas.
Today, with almost 100 members of academic staff, the Institute of
English is a leading research and training unit within the Faculty of
Philology, University of Silesia, organised into five departments,
and one research unit, as follows: the Department of Language
Acquisition; Language History, General Linguistics; Applied
Linguistics, Translation and Interpreting Studies, Business English,
and the Center for Constrastive Studies.
All these activities of the Institute and its success would not be
possible without the genuine commitment of all its members and
the sense of solidarity visible in their expectations and the pursuit
of goals that for a while, but a while only, might seem
unattainable.

Iga, 25 Studying at the
Institute of English allowed to
me learn a lot. Although there
was also hard work involved, I
enjoyed myself very much,
made friends for life and
collected great memories.
Ela, 23
The Institute of English is a perfect place for
young people who would like to study foreign
languages in a very nice atmosphere and
surrounding. Apart from standard lectures,
students can participate in meetings with
interesting people. Personally, I really
appreciate the rich colection of the Institute
library.
Ibrahim, 22 Not only could I

benefit from what my teachers
gave me, but also had great Polish
friends during my studies at the
Institute of English.

Anna, 23
The Institute of English, thanks to its
qualified teachers, rich library and the
possibility to choose from a range of different
subjects, enabled me to develop my interests.
Moreover, apart from the knowledge I gained
there, I also met many interesting people and
made some lasting friendships. All in all, I
really enjoyed studying there and I think it is
an ideal place for anyone who would like
combine gaining valuable knowledge with
having fun with open-minded and sociable
people.
Diana, 25
Thanks to the Institute of English,
Ive met amazing people. Not only
students but also lecturers are
very friendly and open-minded.
The wide variety of topics gives
everyone a possibility to gain
extensive knowledge concerning
English-speaking countries as well
as the English language. As a
member of the students research
association (Neolit) I have
broadened my horizons and I
always spend my time at the
University creatively. The classes
are so inspiring and people so
lovely that after finishing one
faculty, I started another one and
strange as it may seem after
six years of studying I still want to
be here!

OUR STUDENTS
Monika, 22
The studies at the University of Silesia are an ideal
choice not only for those who desire to extend their
knowledge and broaden their horizons. Thanks to
the cooperation with a number of universities in
Europe, the Institute of English offers its students a
wide variety of opportunities to study abroad as
part of Life Long Learning/Erasmus Programme. I
had an opportunity to study at the University of
Bamberg in Germany which provided me with new
invaluable experiences. Not only did I extend my
knowledge in the field of linguistics, but I also
improved my German through getting to know a
new culture, lifestyle and system of studies.
Ola, 23
I was given the opportunity to
participate in a student mobility
programme-LLP Erasmus, so I had
an excellent chance to be a part of
an international community for a
few months, which was not only fun
but also an eye-opening experience.
Having chosen one of the many
destinations our Institute has on
offer, I could get to know other
cultures and learn new languages.
Institute of English were one of the most

exciting ones in my life. I met a lot of
outstanding people who inspired me to expand
my knowledge and search for new challenges.
The Institute also supported me in going to
Tarragona, Spain, where I have been given the
opportunity to study English with Erasmus
students from all around Europe. Now I run my
own company and I am a successful
entrepreneur. I recommend this Institute to
everyone.
Tomasz, 23
The studies at the Institute of English provided
me with an ideal opportunity to develop my
passions and language skills. I have no
hesitation in saying that the thought-provoking
and inspiring classes in translation and
interpretation give students a lot of food for
thought and greatly facilitate their decisions on
a future professional career. Above all,
however, the years spent at the University have
been a most enjoyable experience and a good
chance to meet wonderful people.

What we study
RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
The Institute of English consists of seven departments: Department of Language Acquisition,
Department of General Linguistics, Department of Applied Linguistics, Department of Translation and
Interpreting, Department of the History of English, Department of Business English and Centre for
Contrastive Studies.
RESEARCH
Since its beginning the Institute of English has been a centre for both theoretical and applied linguistics
studies undertaken in all its departments and sections. However, viewing our scholarly activity as
partitioned and delegated to individual departments would certainly misrepresent the picture since it
has become a distinguishing mark of the Institute that its activities are carried out in individual research
as well as in cooperative work of all its units and members.
Equally comprehensive is our investigation of linguistic problems as it extends to all subsystems of
English and to the study of their interfaces from a theoretical and descriptive perspectives. Our
research is not confined only to grammatical phenomena. Rather by taking a variety of approaches we
reach beyond its borders focusing on such fields as psycholinguistics, cognitive studies, pragmatics,
lexicography, historical linguistics and language teaching.
In most general terms, research at the Institute falls into the following areas:
> Psycholinguistics and Language Acquisition
With almost twenty staff members (mainly from the Department of Language Acquisition and the
Department of Applied Linguistics) involved in the psycholinguistic research, the Institute is the largest
European centre for studies of cognitive processes underlying the acquisition, use and understanding of
language. Research in this area addresses primarily the nature and development of the second language
but also of the third languages in all ranges from early childhood to adulthood.
The primary areas of interest include the issues of lexical and grammatical development, the interface
between syntax and other levels of grammar and recently of the role of transfer in language acquisition.
The studies are performed in a dynamic multidisciplinary context, which permits the adoption of
complementary approaches to the object of study. Equally noteworthy are other research activities
pursued for a long time and reflecting interests developed by individual researchers: bilingualism,
multilingualism, language retention, and the acquisition of the pragmatic component.
2011 * 11
IJA 2011 / 2012
21 >
RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
> Lexicography
Along with psycholinguistic studies, research and research outputs in the
area of lexicography have become the flagship of the Institute of English. This
research addresses both theoretical and practical issues of lexicography
taking the form of scholarly dissertations as well as dictionaries and
lexicons. In view of the specific long-term nature of lexicographic research,
the number of projects completed within last ten years or still in preparation
is impressive. The former include specialized bilingual dictionaries of English
verbs, phraseologisms and idioms, law terms, phrasal verbs and the lexicon
of law terms The latter, still developed as individual projects, include a
comprehensive Polish-English phraseological dictionary and a new syntactic
dictionary of English verbs.
> Historical Linguistics

The rich and distinguished Polish tradition of historical studies of English, along with
other Indo-European languages, is very successfully continued by a team of
researchers from the Department of the History of English. Their strong commitment
to the study of a wide variety of aspects of the diachronic development of the English
language has made the Department a recognised centre of English historical studies
in Poland. Their individual and collaborative research has significantly advanced
knowledge within such fields as Shakespearean English, modality, Old and Middle
English syntax against the Germanic background, manuscript studies, prescriptivism
and the process of grammaticalization. Recent projects concern among others the
problem of applicability of force dynamic theory to the description of the system of
English modals.
What we study
> Language Teaching Methodology

The studies conducted within this area involve various aspects of foreign language
teaching/learning process and focus on links between theory and practice. In order
to optimalise the process the researchers concentrate on the person of the foreign
language teacher/learner as well as on a variety of aspects of multilingualism.
A number of the research interests converge around the problem of teaching specific
language skills and language subcomponents. Also of interest to a number of staff
members are such topics as testing and ESP material development.
Our research examines the form-function mapping in elliptical constructions, with an

emphasis on teasing apart categorical and (non-categorical) gradient constraints on
these constructions. We draw on both English and cross-linguistic data, and use
research methodologies such as corpus analyses and psycholinguistic
experimentation. This research has a relevance to grammars of ellipsis and theories
of sentence processing. Our additional research interests lie with preposition
placement in English.

What we study
RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
> Philosophy of Language
Research in the area addresses foundational issues in human
perception of the world through language. The focal point of the
investigation within a linguistic paradigm is the universalism of
natural language properties. In particular the research pursues the
question of accessibility of the world through language, the nature of
linguistic description and linguistic meaning, immanent values of
communication and methodological postulates of intratextual and
extralinguistic analysis. It is worthwhile to stress the attempts at
systematising the notion of conventionalism as opposed to language
creativity. Additional references are made to the criticism of the
language which is viewed from the perspective of the choice between
the ideal, i.e. logical or mathematical, concepts of the metalanguage
and the natural language in use.
> Corpus Linguistics
The Institute is currently building up a program in corpus linguistics
that aims to facilitate research in lexicography and interpreting. At
this time emphasis is being laid on gathering disparate data bases
that will add to the already existing corpus encompassing the English
and Polish press, numerous dictionaries and encyclopaedias. Besides,
advanced computer programming (software) is being tested against
its applicability to linguistic research.
> Pragmatics
Our primary research interest is in linguistic pragmatics. We work
mainly within the cognitive framework of Sperber and Wilson's
relevance theory but we are interested in all inferential models of
communication. The issues we have investigated include non-literal
language (especially metaphor and irony) and garden-path
utterances. In recent years we have concentrated mostly on lexical
pragmatics, which studies the processes by which linguisticallyspecified ('literal') word meanings are modified in use. The project we
are currently working on focuses on one of the fundamental
elements of natural language, namely ambiguity, and on the
discourse phenomena which enforce simultaneous accessibility of
diverse meanings, such as zeugma and puns.

RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
> Translation and Interpreting

The opening of a high-tech interpreters training suite in 1996 has accelerated research
carried out previously from the translation-oriented perspective and expanded it to the
vital issues of simultaneous and consecutive interpreting in such languages as Arabic,
Chinese, English, German, Polish and Spanish. The most important and distinctive aspects
of the studies pertain to the area of psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics of interpreting
and also textual organisation. Questions organised around these issues are pursued
through both experimental and theoretical research.
Recently a special emphasis in the field of interpreting has been laid on the problems of
coherence relations, rhetorical structure, and interpreting strategies. In translation
studies the main focus is on the issue of gender-factor in translation. Both the lines of
research are linked by a common interest in the conditions for meaning transfer
> Government Phonology

Our team is most interested in developing representational and nonderivational phonological frameworks such as Government Phonology. In
particular, we look at the Government Phonologys recent modification
known as the Strict CV model or simply CVCV. Moreover, in our research
we make use of the latest findings of the Element Theory, which deals with
the internal structure of phonological expressions, and the lenition and
fortition theory the Coda Mirror. In our present project we focus on the
elemental make-up of English sonorants trying to understand and explain
their vigorous and active participation in phonological processes in the
history of English and in the contemporary dialects, e.g. Estuary English or
Pennsylvanian dialects. Thus we study diachronic developments and
synchronic processes in which sonorants appear as triggers and targets,
e.g. liquid vocalization, vowel lengthenings, rhoticity/non-rhoticity, vowel
syncope, formation of syllabic consonants, linking and intrusive liquids (r, l)
among many other things.
What we study
> Phonology
In our research we concentrate on speech production, perception and
processing. We use acoustic analysis and synthesis in order to extract the
linguistic categories from the speech signal. We are particularly interested
in second language speech, the acquisition of acoustic properties of a
sound system of a foreign language and the attainment of ultimate success
in production and perception of second language speech.

Morphosyntactic Issues in Second Language Acquisition

Edited by Danuta Gabry-Barker
This volume presents a selection of second language acquisition studies at the level of morphosyntax. It
looks at different aspects of morphosyntactic development of bilingual language learners/users such as
language transfer, syntactic processing, morphology and the pragmatics of language among others. The
studies report on projects carried out in different language contact contexts, ranging from: English,
German, Polish, Greek and Turkish. The volume also includes those studies which show the interface
between research findings and pedagogy of foreign language teaching.

Neurolinguistic and Psycholinguistic Perspectives on SLA

Edited by Janusz Arabski, Adam Wojtaszek
"Neurolinguistic and Psycholinguistic Perspectives on SLA" is a collection of twelve chapters, reporting on
research results and presenting theoretical insights into the processes of language acquisition. It is divided
into two major sections: the first part demonstrates the ways in which the latest developments in noninvasive techniques of brain monitoring allow researchers to test hypothesis related to biological
foundations of language acquisition, including also accounts of emotional factors, limbic communication
and evidence from language disorders. The second part offers psycholinguistic modelling of a number of
components of second language competence, such as the acquisition of reading and writing, handling of
foreign language vocabulary and the nature of bi- and multilingualism. It is a valuable collection for active
researchers in the field, as well as for postgraduate students in language acquisition, psycholinguistics and
neurolinguistics.

The most recent bilateral agreement has been singed between the Institute of
English and the Faculty of Educational Sciences and Humanities at the
University of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain.
Similarly to the University of Silesia, the partnership university is also a
regional university with campuses in Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca and
Toledo.
The Faculty of Educational Sciences and Humanities is placed in Cuenca, a
town situated in the north of the La Mancha region, only 170 kilometers east
to Madrid and 200 kilometers west to Valencia. In 2011, thanks to a new highspeed railway connection both cities will be accessible from Cuenca just
within a 45 minute journey. The municipality is inhabited by ca. 50,000 people
and in 1996 its old town was nominated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Cuenca and Katowice, where the main seat of the University of Silesia is
situated, are candidate cities for the European Capital of Culture 2016.
The main objectives of the Faculty of Educational Sciences and Humanities in
Cuenca, as well as the Departments of Language Acquisition and Applied
Linguistics of the Institute of English in Sosnowiec, are pedagogical research
and methodological teachers training. Apart from being research centres,
both entities deal with didactics, theory of education, methods of educational
investigation and new educational technologies.

HERE AND NEAR
DREI KAISER ECKE

The Drei Kaiser Ecke (The Three Emperors Corner) is a historic place where the borders
of three European empires once met. It was here, near the city of Mysowice (south of
Sosnowiec) where the empires of Russia, Austria and Germany ended. Until 1918, when
Poland regained independence and the borders of the three empires receded, the Drei
Kaiser Ecke was an important point on the political map of Europe. It was also a tourist
attraction famous all over Europe. Visitors from near and far came to climb a 20 meter
Bismarck Tower which loomed over the area. On top of the tower was a large
observation deck, where tourists could admire the marches of the respective empires.

We felt chills go down our spines, and the performer - a young
Pole - literally seethed with emotion. Karnas combined elements
of scat, randomly inserted syllables, deliberate stutters and other
sound effects to create a highly original musical mlange, full of
sensitivity and truly flowing from the heart. This artist gleans
each note from a melody, to subsequently bend and transform it,
imbuing it with substance. His awareness of the stage seems to
melt away as he performs, completely immersed in the music,
singing with eyes closed, painting arabesques in the air...
