Author(s): Natalia Vinnikova / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 88/2013

A parody as a genre is characterized by only its inherent laws of construction and creation, the purpose of this article is to investigate the most popular parody implements and techniques that are used by Ukrainian authors very often. The object and purpose of parody, artistic tastes and writer’s skill determine parodist selection of specific tools and techniques.The parody text analysis is used in this article, the descriptive method is used in unfamiliar texts and the brightest parody examples are introduced in the scientific revolution. Also the functional approach is used the problem of understanding the text.The accent is on the fact that the parody applies the work facilities, which is parodied. Parodist mimics the style of prototext, altering it so that it is recognizable, but ridiculed. As a rule the most characteristic elements of the style are taken – a favorite method, propensity to a particular functional style, desirable usage of lexical items, syntactic structures etc. To achieve the goal parodist can use a lower object style of parody, to introduce new material into the text of the original works.The benefits of this study lies in the fact that for the first time the most popular methods and Ukrainian parodist are described. Consequently the most popular implements and techniques of Ukrainian authors are hyperbola, grotesque, metaphor, absurdity, alogizm, quotations, phonetic (alliteration, assonance, voice parallelism), syntactic (repetition, refrain, gradation), morphological facilities and receptions etc.

Romantic Love as a Threat to Social Stability in Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” and Anouilh’s “Romeo and Jeanette”

Author(s): Milena M. Kaličanin,Jovana M. Zdravković / Language(s): English Issue: 17/2018

In this paper we focus on the comparative analysis between Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and its modern version, Anouilh’s Romeo and Jeannette. Anouilh is a representative of modern playwrights who evoke Shakespeare in their argument that a number of structures in our society are enemies of the authentic individual. What they adopt from Shakespeare is the capacity of man to relate with the world in a loving way. We argue that Anouilh’s Romeo and Jeannette fits the template of Shakespeare’s Tragic Equation – the mythical pattern present in all of the Bard’s works, the tragedy of the Lover devoid of love. These works evoke Shakespeare’s warning: that modern society is not conducive of love. On the contrary, the system is based on the suppression of genuine human affection; its re-emergence would subvert the dominant power-relations. In the introduction, we attempt to define the notion of romantic love by referring to the works of Bloom, Illouz, Vyvyan, etc. The following two segments of the paper deal with the analysis of the romantic relationship in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and its modern evocations in the work of Anouilh. In the conclusion, the destructive tendencies of the (modern) patriarchal society are yet again highlighted and linked to Shakespeare’s warning and desire to make his audience and readers perceive, judge and finally condemn them.

Фонетске одлике култних списа о Светом цару Урошу патријарха Пајсеја

Author(s): Ivana M. Bezrukova / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 16/2017

This paper analyses the phonetic features of legendary papers on the Holy Emperor Uroš by Metropolitan Pajsej. The aforementioned comprise the papers entitled Služba Svetom caru Urošu (The Service Dedicated to the Holy Emperor Uroš), Sinaksarsko žitije (The Sinaksar Hagiography), and Žitije Svetog cara Uroša (The Hagiography of the Holy Emperor Uroš). The research is done on Pajsej’s autograph from 1641, with a view to determining to what extent the presence of oral tradition elements in the literary Church Slavonic language is conditioned by the genre of the work. As anticipated, the oral tradition features can be found mostly in The Hagiography of the Holy Emperor Uroš, predominantly in the form of toponyms, possessive adjectives, and anthroponyms, which serve as guardians of folk customs and expressions.

Српски и словеначки глагол погледати

Author(s): Željko S. Marković / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 16/2017

In this paper we analysed the Serbian and Slovenian verb pogledati as a lexical exponent of different situation predicates. Situation predicates are defned via characteristics of situation temporal structure of perception action expressed with this verb and via its predicate-argument structure. Te intertwining of these two parameters brings us to single out three main semantic-syntactic realisations of the verb pogledati in Serbian and Slovenian. In the frst one, the verb pogledati is used to express the immediate/perfective perception action and its predicate-argument structure is characterised by a mandatory presence of the right argument in the role of an object of perception (e.g. pogledati prijatelja iznenađeno). In the second realisation this verb shows the same properties of a predicate-argument structure as in the frst one but it does not denote a lasting/imperfective action whereby the perfective verb form emphasises its natural fulfilment (e.g. pogledati izložbu, pogledati pozorišnu predstavu). Regarding the predicate-argument structure, the third realisation is characterised by different spacial determinants at the right argument position that defning of perception action as either the immediate/perfective or lasti ng/imperfective one depends on (e.g. pogledati kroz prozor, pogledati naokolo).

Author(s): Marina A. Gasanova,Ruslan I. Seferbekov,Boris D. Bulatović,Elmira M. G. Zulpukarova / Language(s): English Issue: 13/2019

The aim of the research: the article deals with study of modern Dagestan city linguistic landscape. The relevance of the research: the relevance of the chosen topic is explained by the need for a synchronous description and analysis of toponymic, cultural-historical, linguistic, cultural, ethnolinguistic, and sociolinguistic traditions and representations of a complex and multi-level toponymic system on the example of one Dagestan city - the capital of the Republic - Makhachkala. It is a unique phenomenon of Russian and Dagestan linguistic cultures mix, which united into a single one. Research methods: the scientific research paper considers the basic principles of urbanonyms’ nomination, the most frequent word-building patterns of both official and unofficial names of urban objects and microtoponyms of present and past. The specifics of the post-Soviet Dagestan city linguistic landscape have been revealed as its shows socio-political, economic, cultural and ideological tendencies of different periods of Russian history. Toponyms are considered not only from the perspective of structural, semantic and functional aspects, but also from the point of cognition. Special attention is paid to ergonyms as a significant part of urbanization. The conditions its creation and successful functioning are indicated. Results: the analysis of the linguistic landscape of Makhachkala has revealed universal and specific mechanisms of toponyms composition, reflecting the peculiarities of regional mentality. This is a diverse, often inconsistent linguistic practice of Russian, English and Dagestan languages usage, which shows us the multi-language and socio-cultural chronotope of the city. The area of the pragmatics of languages functioning is determined by the socio-political and economic factors, which influence on the initially polylingual Makhachkala. Significance of the research: the further prospects of research are observation and changes analysis of modern Dagestan city in the linguistic landscape of the modern Dagestan city. It will allow us to understand more deeply the sociolinguistic processes in the polyethnic Russian society.

Концептът литературна компетентност в литературнообразователния процес в средното училище

Author(s): Lyudmila Berkovska / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2015

The formal documents that regulate learning and teaching, as well as the Exam Formats for the examinations in 7th and 12th grade use the term “literary competence”. The analysis of the documents – including the Bulgarian National Standards for Language and Literary Education, Literature Curriculums and Exam Programs – reveal that the “literary competence” has not yet been conceptualised adequately. The aim of this article is to propose a conceptualisation of literary competence based on a flexible, holistic model of competence presented by the author

Събитието на деконструкцията и мястото на литературата

Author(s): Daniela Strakova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2015

In the last “postmodern” years, the literature is characterized by reliance on narrative techniques such as fragmentation, paradox, and the unreliable narrator. Postmodernism as a whole tends to resist definition or classification as a “movement”. The article’s focus is the literary theory and philosophy of language derived principally from Jacques Derrida’s 1967 work Of Grammatology and his speech in 1966 in conference in Baltimore. Although he avoided defining the term deconstruction directly, Derrida sought to apply Martin Heidegger’s concept of destruction or, to textual reading. Heidegger’s term referred to a process of exploring the categories and concepts that tradition has imposed on a word, and the history behind them. Derrida opted for deconstruction over the literal translation destruction to suggest precision rather than violence. Deconstruction denotes the pursuing of the meaning of a text to the point of exposing the supposed contradictions and internal oppositions upon which it is founded - supposedly showing that those foundations are irreducibly complex, unstable, or impossible. We purpose to show in the article that the discourse project of Derrida “happens” always different and unexpectedly in the process of reading, in the space of the literary text. Jacques Derrida defined the place of literature аs laying between the institution law and the idiom.

O trzech edycjach Księgi Tobiasza z pierwszej połowy XVI wieku

Author(s): Anna Lenartowicz-Zagrodna / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2018

Despite numerous studies concerning ancient translations of the whole Bible or its individual books, we still do not have full knowledge of the relationships between them. One of the Biblical books which until now has not been elaborated is an anonymous translation of the Book of Tobit published three times in the first half of the 16th century (1539, 1540, 1545). The aim of this research is to show what can be learnt about the history of this monument with the help of a linguistic analysis. The collected linguistic facts serve as a basis for establishing the relationship between the three prints of Tobit, as well as for putting forward a few hypotheses regarding the editor of the second edition, the real order and number of prints and their manuscript base.

A Touristic Approach of a Literary and Geographical Space: Transylvania

Author(s): Cosmin-Gabriel Porumb-Ghiurco / Language(s): English Issue: 9/2018

StudyingTransylvania as a literary and geographical space or as a geo-literary space also involves an approach from the field of cultural tourism studies. As a geographical and historical region of Romania, Transylvania is one of the most notorious tourist destinations in the world. Its literary notoriety plays an important role in attracting tourists and building th eregion’s touristic image(ry) often considered as a social and cultural construct due to its West-East antithesis. In this paper, we study the interconnectivity between works of fiction as created cultural forms and their impact on tourism industry and consumer society. The tourist is thus perceived both as a consumer and homo ludens in the postmodern contemporary context. Therefore, the focus is on the acknowledgement that fictional is employed in the non-fictional framework so as to produce anthropic tourist attractions. In the present study, we took into account the fictional profile of Transylvania as a framework for the phenomenon of escapism, which involves the traveller-reader binomial. Thus, studying the ways and means through which the illusion of the fictional is nowadays perpetuated into these places and used to attract avid readers and cinephiles is one of the main research targets.

Spațiul de graniță și comportamentul magic în basmul popular românesc cu zmei răpitori de fecioare

Author(s): Petru Adrian Danciu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 9/2018

This study examines the comprising aspects of the proximity state situated at the boundary between the sacred and the profane in the folktale worlds, per se as many laws structured on either side of a line that defines the concept of otherness. The proximity of these worlds is in itself a tale with well-defined rules to be gradually revealed, from one folktale to another, but having in common the motif of the transcendence from the sacred to the profane or that of the transcendence from the profane to the sacred according to the folktale actants’ courses of action.

Alice’s Adventures andProxemics – a PossibleApproach

Author(s): Gabriela Rodica Chira / Language(s): English Issue: 9/2018

In E. T. Hall’s theory on proxemics, space is perceived in light of the way in which human beings use it as a specific cultural product. We intend to analyze the way in which Lewis Carroll’s Alice engages herself in the discovery of new worlds from this perspective.Two important directions are opened: the different levels of proximity between characters, alluding to different social relationships and categories such as children and parents, children and adults in general, hierarchy; communication on different levels: who addresses to whom and in which context; the objectives of the message – transmitting something or creating connections; differences in our ways of organizing ideas/ arguments and the way in which we communicate them (inductively or deductively); which are, according to cultures, the codes of non verbal communication – paralanguage, gestures, silence… (Sauquet&Vielajus 2014: 355-368). Since in “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” these two directions are exploited through sophisticated logic and pure fantasy intermingled with social satire the results of an analysis could be an invitation to re-readings of these most instructive and interesting texts.

Reversal Effects in Charitable Behaviors across Cultures:The Role of Sentence Voice

Author(s): Ibrahim Senay / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2019

Income per capita was previously found to be sometimes negatively, and sometimes positively, associated with helping across cultures. These opposite effects may result from a type of reversal of helping across the perceived contexts of cultures. The possibility in a language to highlight actors’ responsibility in events through antipassive sentences (cf. “I will help”) predicted higher, and the possibility to decrease the responsibility through passive sentences (“The needy will be helped”) predicted lower levels of charitable behaviors in countries with lower levels of power distance and uncertainty avoidance, and higher levels of income, a set of societal characteristics, which were previously found to positively impact helping. The results highlight the role of sentence voice presumably linked with perceived autonomy in contexts of helping across cultures, ultimately reversing the cultural effects on charitable behaviors.

Individual differences in literary reading: Dimensions or categories

Author(s): Filip Nenadić,Milan Oljača / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2019

Literary text reading has long been a subject of empirical research. Various measures of reader differences and reader typologies were suggested, with the most prominent being studies of literary expertise, and studies employing Literary Response Questionnaire (LRQ; Miall & Kuiken, 1995). Literary expertise is difficult to define and fails to account for potential differences within non-experts. LRQ and similar dimensional approaches neglect the possibility that a salient reader typology does exist. The main goal of this study is to test whether a salient reader classification can be formed based on participant responses to questionnaires and to test how this classification corresponds to self-reported reader expertise. Based on responses from 741 participants (78.41% female, mean age = 24.31), we test the factor structure of LRQ in its Serbian translation and find moderate, acceptable fit. We also present our own Receptiveness to Literature Questionnaire (UPK) with two factors named Thorough Reading and Reading for Pleasure. Finally, we discuss relations between LRQ and UPK, offer classifications of readers formed on participant factor scores, and test the congruence between these classes and self-reported participant expertise. Our results indicate that a dimensional approach should be favored over forming categories of readers.
