Kornev and lngrida Balčiūnienė’s present an experimental study into the verbalisations of causal relations. Krzysztof Kosecki expertly discusses the coding of event structure in the language of the deaf; James Moir analyses career choice narratives. Bartosz Stopel’s interesting article explains the role of Turner’s double-scope blending theory for cognition and emotional response to narratives. Jacek Waliński focuses on fictive motion, whereas Paul Wilson’s deals with human affectivity in conflict scenarios. The article by Magdalena Zabielska is a must to read, too. lt provides an analysis of medical records found in medical journals and treats them as a kind of narratives.
