The book "Zoomorfismos fraseológicos del español y del..." by Agnieszka Szyndler is an innovative approach to the analysis of zoomorphic phraseologisms in Spanish and Polish. The author, based on the assumptions of cultural linguistics, examines the motivation and figurativeness of these expressions, referring both to semantic-lexical theories and to cognitive and pragmatic approaches. This work extends the semantic perspective, which is dominant in phraseological works, to references of a communicative-discursive nature.

The author analyzes zoonymic phraseologisms based on the conceptual metaphor MAN IS AN ANIMAL, occurring in Spanish and Polish. The work is innovative because the author analyzes the motivation and figurativeness of zoomorphic phraseologisms of both languages in a multifaceted way, referring both to semantic-lexical theories and to cognitive and pragmatic approaches. In this way, it extends the semantic perspective, which is dominant in phraseological works, to references of a communicative-discursive nature.

The research and conclusions presented in the work may be of interest to a wide audience, in particular linguists (not only Hispanists), but also ethnologists, cultural scientists, translators and students of Neophilology. This book is a valuable source of knowledge for all who want to explore the secrets of language and culture.
