Popularisation of Science as Translation: A Cultural Linguistic Account
Journal Title: Zagadnienia Rodzajów Literackich - Year 2017, Vol 60, Issue 3
Abstract
In the paper, we focus on the question of science popularisation as translation. We develop a Cultural Linguistic account of how conceptual metaphors help tailor the abstract conceptual content to the needs of non-experts. Since the issue linking the various topics in our paper is the mind-reality relation, we offer a linguistic analysis of selected conceptual metaphors in Michał Heller’s Philosophy of Chance. We provide insights into the worldview emerging from the author’s narrative about the evolution of the concept of CHANCE.
