Text-Image-Music: Crossing the Borders

She has served as a reviewer for numerous journals, sitting on the Editorial and Scientific Boards of Polish and international journals, such as Polonica, Półrocznik Językoznawczy Tertium, Journal of Literary Semantics, Ukraine-based Cognition, Communication, Discourse and Armenian Folia Anglistika. Elżbieta has written over 70 articles and several article reviews for both local and international scholarly journals. Last, but by no means least, Elżbieta has translated extensively from Polish to English for the National Museum in Kraków.

Elżbieta remains an active member of a number of Polish and international associations, amongst others, the Polish Association for the Study of English, the Polish Linguistic Society, the Neophilological Committee of the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Modern Language Association of America, the International Association for Semiotic Studies and perhaps most importantly the International Association of Literary Semantics, an organization particularly dear to her heart, and of which she has been a board member since 2006.

Additionally, Elżbieta has won both national and university awards for her research and administrative work: seven awards granted by the Rector of the Jagiellonian University, as well as the Silver Cross of Merit from the President of the Polish Republic (2007), the Gold Medal for Long Service (2009), the Medal of the Commission of National Education (2012), and a medal from Kraków Polytechnic (2004) for her interdisciplinary activities in the domain of language and the arts.

Elżbieta has many non-linguistic interests. For as long as we have all known her, she has, together with her husband Kazimierz, climbed or trekked in the highest mountains in Europe and Asia, as well as enjoyed skiing in the Dolomites and the Alps. She is both enthusiastic and knowledgeable with regard to the arts, a fact which manifests itself when she translates Polish texts on the history of art into English.
