Description

• Title:
  Lexis naming and imitating the sounds of birds in a polyphonic text
• Creator:
  Wojtak, Maria
• Description:
  The article is dedicated to an analysis of lexis related to the representation of the sounds of birds in a text that might be treated as an original implementation of principles of the popular science discourse. The author of the book builds an independently peculiar discourse community acting as the host a polyphonic message. Referring to his own experience base, built on his wide reading in the field of ornithology and bird watching, he describes, in the form of a report, and in the poetics of a feature article and a diary, his own fascination with the world of birds. He treats the knowledge constituting the cognitive background of the utterance as a value that he wants to share with interested readers. Describing the sounds of birds the author uses conventional lexical measures,i.e. nominal or verbal names of sounds and onomatopoeic exclamations imitating the sounds of birds. The originality of the message is gained not by morphological invention, but due to references to artistic style, colorfulness, and the suggestiveness of originally selected epithets, comparisons, and figurative expressions;
