The authors closely explore a range of linguistic phenomena across a variety of communicative contexts and languages. Their work involves empirically-based, comparative or descriptive analyses of linguistic phenomena (including phonetic, grammar or discursive phenomena). The authors either use corpus evidence to test claims about language, or describe linguistic phenomena in question. The studies are based mainly on English and Polish, but also such languages as Altai, Mongol and Azeri. Throughout the volume, the authors attempt to bring into focus cultural aspects of languages under investigation.

A substantial contribution to the volume comes from the outstanding young scholars from the Students’ Linguistic Society “Linguaphile? that actively functions within the English Department of Szczecin University.
