Krzeszowski Even though Professor Tomasz Krzeszowski, Dr. habil., specializes in cognitive linguistics, his research interests encapsulate a whole variety of issues, from studies on the theory of language to aspects of applied linguistics; from contractive cognitive studies to translation theory as well as foreign language acquisition and teaching methodology. His achievements in cognitive linguistics were appreciated by his appointment to the Editorial Board for the international periodical Cognitive Linguistics, next to Ronald Langacker, George Lakoff, Dirk Geeraerts, Pieter Seuren, and Leonard Talmy. The wealth of his scholarly interests amazes and so does diversity of subjects he has lectured on, including English phonetics and phonology, syntax and semantics, or contrastive grammar; not to mention specialized monograph lectures usu. from the cognitive perspective, such as “Roots and Moots of Cognitive Linguistics,” “All Roads Lead to the Brain (Introduction to Neurolinguistics),” “Meaning and Translation, Metaphor and Metalanguage.”
