    "[Genetically Modified Organisms: A Scientific-Political Dialogue on a Meaningless Meme is] presents the debate associated with introducing GMOs as a traditional debate between science and progress against dogma. After reading it, I hope that science will win for the sake of all of us."

This book brings together, on the one hand, theoretical assumptions in cognitive linguistics and, on the other, empirical studies on language. It portrays, in a compact manner, the latest state of the dynamically changing research in five areas of cognitive explorations of language, including conceptual blending, discourse and narratology, multimodality, linguistic creativity, and construction grammar. These are shown mainly from the perspective of two languages: Polish and English.

The volume will be of essential value to both students and scholars, as well as anyone interested in the application of current trends developed within cognitive linguistics to the empirical study of language and language-related phenomena.

Rafał Augustyn is Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Linguistics at Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, Poland. He obtained his PhD in cognitive linguistics, analysing the cognitive motivation behind neologic noun-to-verb conversion. His research areas include cognitive semantics, multimodality in science communication, metaphors in the language of law and their impact on legal reasoning, and the application of cognitive theories in translation research, practice and didactics. He is also a practicing translator and interpreter of Polish, English and German.

Agnieszka Mierzwińska-Hajnos is Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Linguistics at Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, Poland.
