Tempus Fugit. Time Metaphors Analysis. A Methodological Approach.

The article presents the method of the qualitative analysis of biographical narrative interviews designed by the authors. Its theory is embedded in the cognitive theory of conceptual metaphor developped by George Lakoff and concepts used in chronosophic theories. The means of extracting the metaphoric layers in the text and its reconstruction into the pyramidal structure used for the analysis of oral expressions of time reveal the interpretative potentiality of qualitative methodology. The metaphorization of such a hard phenomenon to conceptualize, i.e. time, is analyzed on three main levels of the source domain: simple metaphorical expressions, sentences and sequences. The fourth level, the target domain, being the peak of the pyramid, organizes textual metametaphors (conceptual metaphor) reconstructed by the researchers. The interviews, the basic data for the research, were conducted between 1989 and 1992 among the leaders of several youth organisations, groups and movements, as well as youth arms of political parties. The analysis shows the potentiality of the methods used in the research in the process of creating the interpretation, which would be intersubjectively verifiable. The outcome contains the ways of comprehension and using temporal constructs, such as time of biography, social times, public times, environmental and private times.

Keywords

Qualitative analysis, interpretation, metaphor, extracting the metaphoric layers, pyramid reconstruction, types of metaphor, metaphor veihicle, metaphorical frame, mapping, conceptual metaphor, temporal typologies, temporal orientations.

Critical Discourse Analysis – theoretical and methodological remarks

The main goal of the paper is to point out at a critical discourse analysis (CDA) that is not very popular method of investigating communication features among Polish researchers. The best known representative of such method in Europe is Professor Teun van Dijk from Holland, who set up international periodic like „Text” and „Discourse and Society”. The task of this paper is not only to present basic methodological objectives but also to show it in a wider theoretical background, regarding Jürgen Habermas, Michel Foucault and Pierre Bourdieu social thought. What is more, the article shows in general how to implement the CDA to mass-media research.

Keywords:

Critical discourse analysis (CDA), text and utterance, communicative act, ideal communicative situation, discursive power and domination, context and process of discourse mass-media.

The ethical dilemmas described in this paper were real consequences of researcher’s functioning in dual, mutually exclusive roles. These roles were rooted in completely different social worlds – academic and factory

Keywords:

A covert participant observation, qualitative methods, ethics in research, a methodology of social research, methods and techniques of social research, field methods.
