Metafory roślin w kalendarzach przyrodniczych dla dzieci Marii Kownackiej i Marii Kowalewskiej (Razem ze słonkiem i Głos przyrody)

Journal Title: Przegląd Humanistyczny - Year 2018, Vol 62, Issue 1

Abstract

The article describes the use of metaphorical terms of plants in the nature calendars designed for children and young people of school age: Głos przyrody [Voice of Nature] by M. Kownacka and M. Kowalewska (vol. 1–2, 1963) and Razem ze słonkiem [Together with the Sun] by M. Kowalewska (vol. 1–6, 1975–1978). The role of metaphores in three areas is presented: 1) using “child’s cognition”, that is explaining natural phenomena with means referring to children’s imagination, 2) applying elements of humour and fun, 3) using poetic metaphors whose task was to build atmosphere and sublimity in the description of flora. The described stylistic treatments were to make the popular science texts more attractive to young readers, and they were to become the incentive for them to observe nature in parallel with reading adapted to the perception and needs – not only cognitive, but also emotional.<br/><br/>
