Vplyv jazykových kontaktov na jazykový obraz sveta
Influence of language contacts on the linguistic image of the world

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the interaction of language contacts and the linguistic image of the world. The analysed languages: Slovak, German, Hungarian with some references on Romanian. Our aim is the description of the influence of the dynamics of the lexemes on the linguistic image of the world in Slovak and Hungarian. Language varieties in contact zones develop new semantic components of lexemes, the morphology is also affected by interferences. All these fields can be researched the best way with comparing the structure of languages and with analysing the language contacts. In this paper linguistic relativity, lexical motivation and grammatical interference are brought under one roof as a theoretical basis. We deal with the question, where is the border between structure of languages and linguistic image of the wold. Can morphologic typology used as an example of thinking? On lexical level we involve the theory of motivation in the theory of the linguistic image of the world.We work with own research outputs of the language usage of Slovaks in Hungary, Hungarians in Slovakia, but also use outputs of other researchers (e.g. A. Benő’s of the Hungarian language usage in contact with Romanian) and try to make a complete view of them. Teaching experience of German to Hungarians and Slovaks, Slovak to Hungarians, Hungarian to Slovaks is also a background of the research.
