Abstract

The present issue contains seven papers which deal with diverse aspects of contemporary cognitive linguistics and its interface with other fields of research in language and communication. Beginning at the level of grammar, the analyses address philosophical issues, emotion concepts, translation strategies, metaphor and rhetoric, as well cultural worldviews encoded in language.The first four of these contributions were presented during the conference of the Polish Cognitive Linguistics Association, held on-line at the University of Lodz in September 2021. It was the first meeting of the association after a two-year pandemic-related break, during which Polish and foreign cognitive linguists could meet again and discuss new trends in their field.The paper by Celeste Cetra (Catholic University of Eichstaett-Ingolstadt, Germany) pairs the tenets of cognitive and construction grammar with sociolinguistic criteria in the analysis of multiple marking in New Zealand English/NZE. The author uses “multiple marking” as an umbrella term for grammatical constructions that (i) employ multiple or double negatives and comparative markers to intensify negative and comparative constructions, for example (a) You won’t hear nothing on the tap and (b) Cash is more easier to handle; (ii) use various forms of agreement in there-existentials, for example in (a) There are restaurants,
