Aleksander Szwedek Aleksander Szwedek is professor emeritus of Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan, Poland. He authored over 100 works—initially on FSP in English and Polish (word order, sentence stress placement, given/new information), recently in English, German, and Polish. His recent research concerned metaphorization resulting in the formulation of the Theory of Objectification and a new typology of metaphors. In 2019, he wrote two seminal papers, “The OBJECT image schema,” and a sequel “The image schema: A definition,” a definition which all linguists considered impossible to formulate. Professor Szwedek studied at UCLA, and taught at the Universities of Pittsburgh, Northern Iowa, and Eastern Michigan University. He was a visiting professor in numerous universities in Poland and in most European countries: England, Finland, Germany, Denmark, Italy and France. In his 56 years of academic career, he educated over 300 MA students and several PhD scholars, and reviewed innumerable MA theses, PhD dissertations, and post-doctoral and professorial books. He organized and chaired English departments at the universities in Bydgoszcz (1975–1982) and Toruń (1985–2000). He was also elected Rector of the Pedagogical University in Bydgoszcz (October 1981–March 1982), dismissed early in the times of Marshal Law.
