Kilka poniższych zdań opisujących zawarte w monografii treści z Wprowadzenia.

(…) The following volume is the result of a seminar meeting entitled Communication-Culture-Creativity (CCC fourth edition), which took place at the Ateneum University in Gdańsk. …The chapters in the volume “Pathways to language, culture, communication and identity” reflect explicitly or implicitly the constructive way of thinking about the components encompassed by the title. The chapters aim to account for the complexity of relations involved in the study of the living tissue of language and the social aspects it represents. …A significant number of contributions oscillate around the issue of identity, a vital aspect of human existence, pathways to which lead very often through the convoluted modes of the use of linguistic communicative means. The volume encompasses ten chapters written by various authors and aligned sequentially according to the themes delineated in the tile, i.e. language itself, culture, communication and ultimately identity. …We hope the book will be interesting reading for professional linguists and language students, as well as all other professionals and laymen eager to delve into the intricate pathways of language, culture, communication and identity.
