    Der Blütenflor des Halm-Dschungels - Paradies für Musikanten. Behindern Metaphern die rationale Erkenntnis?
    (Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 1996) Feine, Angelika
    In the following paper the author tries to discuss the problem of metaphors as an occasionally created language unit. In the further part she puts a question of the metaphorical nominational units which are not language anomalies, and are not contradictory to the rational attempts of cognition. They may also play very various roles also in informational texts. In its multifunctional nature they are a means which in the process of text comprehension does not hamper but stimulates processes of cognition.

    Wortbildung mit exogenen Einheiten
    (Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2006) Feine, Angelika
    Productive word formation of present-day German lexemes with exogenous elements, particularly confixes, has increased notably over the last few years. Consequentially these formations containing foreign elements have also attracted a great deal of attention among word formation researchers. Working towards an encyclopedic compilation of exogenous elements in German word formation it is demanded to crucially analyze these foreign elements in terms of etymological, structural, semantico-functional and textlinguistico-pragmatic criteria. This article provides insight into these aspects of analysis by examples of word-formation using exogenous elements such as -itis, -manie, -phob, and -aholic.
