“…Perhaps James Joyce also found the job undemanding. He was a Berlitz teacher during his sojourn in several European countries in the first two decades of the twentieth century (Bowker, 2011). He too seems to have found the Berlitz method restrictive, with no freedom to expand creatively or opportunities for spontaneity, especially at the beginner level.…”

“…On the basis of a thorough search of etymological roots and historical developments of woman, we can distinguish certain models of woman, as recorded in the lexicographic sources 4 . These models include the following: (i) the adult female of the human race model, (ii) the servant model, (iii) the weak and feeble creature model, (iv) the infantile person model, (v) the lady-love (mistress) model, (vi) the wife model, and (vii) the coin side model.…”

“…For him, a complete woman was no longer the domestic angel devoid of any sexual passion, desire, and intellectual skills, but rather a good companion, sexually independent goddess defined by nature, who could overpower a man as well as take care of him like a mother. Still, the rooted Victorian expectations interrupted his eccentric attitude towards females in such a way that he was at times baffled as to the idea of a woman [for more on women issues in the 19 th /20 th century Mediterranean region, see Dunnage (2002); for Joyce's vision of women, refer to Ellmann (1982), French (1988, Maddox (1990), Ehrlich (1997, Baccolini (1998), Johnson (2004), Maunder (2007), Parson (2007), Pappalardo (2011), Bowker (2012]. …”

In Search of Cultural and Personal Experience behind woman in James Joyce's Dubliners W poszukiwaniu kulturowej i jednostkowej motywacji w użyciu leksemu woman przez Jamesa Joyce'a w Dublińczykach Streszczenie: W artykule zaprezentowano metodologiczną zasadność i konieczność zastosowania takiej analizy leksykalno-semantycznej, w której za podstawę przyjmuje się nie wyabstrahowane ponad-i pozakontekstowe definicje słownikowe, ale sposób, w jaki znaczenia kreuje dany (jednostkowy) użytkownik języka w faktycznych zdarzeniach mownych. Na podstawie opowiadań Jamesa Joyce'a ze zbioru Dublińczycy prześledzono niuanse semantyczne słowa woman 'kobieta', przyjmując, że w każdym wypadku są to wyrazy doświadczeniowych konceptualizacji samego Joyce'a, tych o podłożu wspólnotowym i tych jednostkowych. Chociaż niektó-re ze stwierdzonych konceptualizacji przypominają wyidealizowane definicje, jakie leksemowi woman przypisują dla angielszczyzny okresu wiktoriańskiego słowniki, to dla pełnego zrozumienia woman w Dublińczykach należy uwzględnić wiele epizodów z życia Joyce'a oraz charakterystykę społeczno-kulturową jego czasów.Słowa kluczowe: semantyka leksykalna, konceptualizacja, doświadczenie, kobieta, James JoyceThe aim of this contribution is to exemplify a private and individualized approach to word meaning as both an alternative and complementation to the standard dictionary-oriented and sense-based lexical semantics 1 . We, thus, assume that On the methodological plane, our position is that the senses of a word are not just extensions of one another, but, rather, they all constitute clusters based on "family resemblance"3 . As there is no generally established, or agreed, rule on the basis of which we can predict conventionalized meanings of a lexical item, it seems that the senses are culturally defined and have to be learned, rather than can be predicted. Even within one culture, the meaning of a word is by no means the same in all minds. Still, it is possible to find experiential and dictionary-based way of tracing semantic histories of words. On methodological and practical inadequacies of the latter, see additionally Łozowski (2015). 2We attempt this specifically in our contextual analysis below. Yet, a few words of generalization might prove useful here. Gleed (2011: 51-52) points out that having spent in Ireland his first 22 years of life, James Joyce left not only his own country but also abandoned his Roman Catholic religion, choosing "self-imposed exile" in Continental Europe. In the words of Bulson (2006: 21), "Joyce was born and raised in the nineteenth-century Ireland, but he matured in twentieth-century Europe." Although in many European countries this was the period of great changes as regards gender roles, Ireland's development concerning this issue was considerably postponed to the result that old Victorian values were preserved there much longer. Irish women at the turn of the 20th century were severely abused with no rights to defend themselves. To conform to societal norms, they had to be obedient, devo...

“…40 In later life, Nicolson went further, and 'had to admit that Reith had been right because it was forbidden to name on "the wireless" any book prohibited by the Home Office.' 41 . I cannot discuss that subject without putting in the forefront the two most important innovators -Joyce and Lawrence.…”

“…Gordon Bowker's account, in his recent biography of Joyce, concludes that it 'was a small victory for the censors, but also a clever piece of manoeuvring by Nicolson'. 17 was not prevented, but 'such liberty survived only within a charged and hostile atmosphere'. 19 This imagery is so prevalent because there is no small truth to it.…”

At 8.30pm on 24 November 1931, writer, diplomat and broadcaster Harold Nicolson came to the microphone in a BBC studio to deliver a thirty minute talk, ninth in a series of twelve titled 'The New Spirit in Literature'. Nicolson had promised his listeners in the closing minutes of his previous broadcast in the series (17 November) that the talk would be a discussion of James Joyce and his work. 1 Word of this had made its way to Paris, as Joyce prepared to listen in with a group of friends, at the house of Adrienne Monnier. 2 Instead of speaking on Joyce, however, Nicolson delivered an apology, as described by Joyce in a letter written three days later to Harriet Shaw Weaver. Nicolson announced at once that pressure had been brought to bear on him etc etc and that the expected talk on James Joyce could not take place. The company expressed itself volubly in French about the BBC directors etc after which we all went in to table and had a merry meal. 3 This letter reveals two things. The first is seemingly unambiguous evidence of censorship at the BBC, whereby 'pressure had been brought to bear' on Nicolson, and a broadcast on modernist authors had been prevented. The second is that such censorship was immediately understood as unremarkable by the 'company' surrounding Joyce at dinner. Indeed, censorship of Joyce's work itself (if not, perhaps, discussion of it) was an accepted fact. Considering merely the British context, as Alistair McCleery relates, Ulysses was banned from entering the country soon after it was published in 1922. 4 Just a few years before this broadcast, F. R. Leavis had attracted attention from the police and the Home Office when he attempted to get hold of a copy in order to teach a class at Cambridge. 5 The government position softened in the thirties-an individual was permitted to import a copy for teaching purposes in 1933-but domestic publication was not permitted until 1936. 6 Even if censorship itself was nothing new, it is difficult not to detect a particular attitude to the BBC in this slightly weary relation of 'pressure … etc' being brought on Nicolson by the 'BBC directors etc'. For Joyce, one suspects, this censorship was not just unsurprising given the nature of his work, but precisely what was expected from the BBC. He thus finds himself in a tradition of commentators who saw the corporation operating always in
