Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to briefly analyze conceptualizations of the construal [IŚĆ/JECHAĆ] among Poles and Italians. Positing that the tools of research traditionally used in linguistic approaches are insufficient, the author draws from cognitive linguistics. His primary objective is the examination of the conceptualization processes behind the aforementioned construal, giving special attention to the internal depiction of particular linguistic expressions as well as on the image schemata and conceptual metaphors they engender. For this purpose, differences between Italian construals [AND + IN] and [AND + A] Polish ones [IŚĆ/JECHAC + W] and [IŚĆ/JECHAĆ + DO/NA] are analysed. The author enumerates various ways in which these construals
are imagined in the two different language systems and draws attention to avenues for new research.
