In 1930, he became the first writer from the United States to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature. “The Kidnaped Memorial” is a short story by Sinclair Lewis. “Wakamin is a town with a soul. It used to have a sentimental soul which got thrills out of neighborliness and “The Star–Spangled Banner,” but now it wavers between two generations, with none of the strong, silly ambition of either. The pioneering generation has died out, and of the young men, a hundred have gone to that new pioneering in France. Along the way they will behold the world, see the goodness and eagerness of it, and not greatly desire to come back to the straggly ungenerous streets of Wakamin.” Preview.

The Language-Cognition Interface in Bilinguals: An evaluation of the Conceptual Transfer Hypothesis
Jolanta Latkowska
Książka skierowana jest do studentów i pracowników naukowych filologii obcych, których zainteresowania obejmują psycholingwistyczne zależności pomiędzy umysłowością a językiem w kontekście szeroko pojmowanej dwujęzyczności. Zawiera przegląd współczesnych teorii dotyczących budowy słownika umysłowego osób dwujęzycznych, relacji pomiędzy myślą a językiem oraz dyskusję najnowszych badań przeprowadzonych w ośrodkach krajowych i zagranicznych. Punktem odniesienia w analizie powyższych zagadnień jest hipoteza transferu konceptualnego autorstwa znanych amerykańskich psycholingwistów Anety Pavlenko i Scotta Jarvisa. Niewątpliwym atutem książki jest jej część badawcza przedstawiająca wyniki badań nad dwujęzycznością studentów filologii angielskiej w Polsce oraz polskich emigrantów w Wielkiej Brytanii i Irlandii, które przeprowadzono w latach 2008-2010. Zebrane dane są podstawą oceny zasadności założeń omawianej w pracy hipotezy. Ponadto, pozwalają na porównanie efektywności uczenia się języka drugiego (obcego) w warunkach szkolnych i naturalnych oraz obrazują jak intensywny kontakt z dwoma językami kształtuje rozumienie i użycie znaczeń semantycznych i konstrukcję narracji w obu językach.
Jane Austen
Zbiór listów Jane Austen adresowanych głównie do jej rodziny. Autorka koresponduje na temat życia rodzinnego, a także pisanych przez nią powieści. Dzięki listom możemy poznać ją niemalże osobiście. Poznajemy fakty i przemyślenia, których nie zawiera tworzona przez nią literatura. Jane Austen – któż o niej nie słyszał?! Ta bardzo utalentowana autorka powieści opisywała życie angielskiej klasy wyższej z początku XIX wieku. Mimo, że sama wiodła stosunkowo odosobnione życie na prowincji w hrabstwie Hampshire, nie pozbawiło jej to zmysłu obserwacji i nie zubożyło dramaturgii jej utworów. Ich fabuła najczęściej dotyczy zamążpójścia i związanych z tym problemów społecznych (co ciekawe, sama Austen nigdy nie wyszła za mąż!). Reputację wyśmienitej pisarki zyskała już za życia – jej powieści chwalił m.in. Walter Scott. Do dziś ekranizuje się dzieła Austen, a jej powieści pozyskują rzesze wielbicielek.

The Meaning of Constructions. The Cognitive Denial of the Lexicon-Syntax Division
Konrad Szcześniak
Książka dotyczy tradycyjnego podziału na leksykon i składnię zastąpionego w ostatnich dekadach modelem kontinuum (Lexicon-syntax continuum), w którym nie ma ostrej granicy między komponentami. Opracowanie rewiduje przesłanki (takie jak rozmycie granic między leksykonem i składnią), którymi kierują się obecnie językoznawcy odrzucający podział na leksykon i składnię. Celem opracowania jest wykazanie, że chociaż podział jest nieostry, jest nadal prawdziwy i ma konsekwencje dla elementów języka znajdujących się po obu jego stronach. Jedną z tych konsekwencji jest zróżnicowanie potencjału semantycznego form składniowych w porównaniu do form leksykalnych. Książka adresowana jest do językoznawców pracujących nad konstrukcjami gramatycznymi w ramach językoznawstwa kognitywnego, a w szczególności modelu gramatyki konstrukcji.
