Bücher der Reihe Warschauer Studien zur Germanistik und zur Angewandten Linguistik

This book is the first study on forms of address in Polish-English subtitling from a multidisciplinary perspective. It departs from a contrastive analysis of forms of address in Polish and in English, then discusses the methodological tools and, finally, presents the empirical study on the translation of Polish forms of address in English TV subtitles.

The study provides data on translators' specific self-directed learning strategies. Additional data covers three areas: specialisation and the market, qualifications and competence as well as affects and attitudes. Textual operations, which traditionally have been investigated in Translation Studies, are not examined.

The book presents the first comprehensive description of avialinguistics. The author analyses this new interdisciplinary branch of applied linguistics that recognises the role of language for aviation purposes. She provides an integrated approach to Aeronautical English and proffers insights into aviation discourse.

This book summarises existing, mainly managerial, approaches to communication audits and brings to the forefront a linguistic perspective. The proposed communication audit model, communication audit procedures, and the linguistic form sheet can be applied by scientists and practitioners.

The book reviews critically the state of the art in the field of bilingualism. Including details of empirical studies conducted by scholars from Europe, America and Australia it depicts a spectrum of research topics like educational aspects of bilingualism to reveal various issues of sociolinguistics and even bilingual literature.
