Die Welt der Zahlen, Figuren und Relationen hat die Menschen schon immer fasziniert, deshalb drückte Mathematik einerseits der Allgemeinsprache ihren Stempel auf, andererseits braucht Mathematik die Sprache, um Inhalte ihres Fachgebiets zu verbalisieren und zu vermitteln. Der Band umfasst 14 Beiträge zu Themen, die sich aus der gegenseitigen Beeinflussung der Mathematik und Sprachen ergeben. Behandelt werden lexikologische, semantische, pragmatische, semiotische und kognitive Probleme, aber auch praktische – translatorische, didaktische und lexikografische Aspekte, nicht zuletzt in kontrastiver Perspektive. Der Großteil der Beiträge konzentriert sich auf den phraseologischen Bereich, da phraseologische Bestände verschiedener Sprachen reich an Wendungen mit mathematischen Komponenten sind.The world of numbers, shapes and relations has always fascinated people, influencing the language in which they communicate. Likewise, mathematics needs language to verbalise its research area and transfer knowledge. The volume contains 14 papers concerning phenomena resulting from the mutual influence of mathematics and languages. The thematic scope includes lexicological, semantic, pragmatic, semiotic and cognitive issues as well as practical aspects such as translation, teaching or lexicography and contrastive studies. Large parts of the volume focuses in particular on phrasemes as the phraseological resources of many languages contain mathematical components.

The volume examines lexical and idiomatic phenomena in various Indo-European languages, covering a wide range of linguistic and interdisciplinary studies while addressing both single-language issues and contrastive perspectives. The key topics include vocabulary and, in particular, phraseology in Slavic, Germanic and Romance languages across different areas of linguistic communication. It explores the role of vocabulary in general, as well as in therapeutic and specialised communication (e. g. mathematical or mathematically motivated phraseology and legal terminology), and in language acquisition. The volume also concentrates on proverbs and idiomatic expressions.

The volume investigates selected aspects of language, communication, literature and culture. Adopting different perspectives, frequently crossing the boundaries between languages and cultures, the authors examine literary motifs, symbols, metaphors, colour terms and worldviews in various texts. Moreover, some contributions concentrate on political and ecological discourses, taking into consideration recent conflicts and the challenges they pose, whereas others present studies in translation and language education, focus on urban linguistic landscapes and explore colour associations.
