I'm a person who loves to study: I graduated from the German Department of the University of Szczecin (M.A., specialty: linguistics) and I have just completed my studies at the English Department (B.A., specialty: British culture - imposed on me against my will). I decided to continue my studies up to M.A in the English Department and I was also accepted for doctorate studies (German Department again).
When I was in primary school I dreamed of becoming a writer or a singer. Well, my dream came true... to some extent - I have just finished and "defended" my second thesis and, if I'm lucky, I'll have a chance to write a third, and a fourth... (Hmmm). As for singing - probably good voice alone is not enough. I have recently added some of my attempts to sing someone else's songs (I can't play any instrument)to my profile - so enjoy or just turn the sound off...
The topic of my M.A. thesis: Gelegenheitsbildungen im Roman "A Clockwork Orange" und in seinen deutschen und polnischen Ãœbersetzungen [Occasional neologisms in the novel "A Clockwork Orange" and in its German and Polish translations]. 2007
B.A thesis: Socialist ideas in the lyrics of the Welsh band Manic Street Preachers. 2008.(Unfortunately, the reviewer did not get a heart attack on reading the title ;))
In my PhD thesis I'm going to examine difficulties and possiblilities of translating German Idiolects.
In my M.A. thesis (English this time) I'm going to analyse some lyrics by Manic Street Preachers using toools of cognitive linguistics
