The article discusses selected lexical units found in the dialects of Silesia, which refer to the act of speaking. It examines more than 190 tokens and collocations whose common denominator is the meaning of ‘speaking’. Analyzed are units referring to the content of the expression (with the main semantic component ‘to talk nonsense’), as well as those referring to physical aspects of the act of speaking, such as the clarity and accuracy of articulation (‘to speak indistinctly’, ‘to stutter’), the pace of speaking (‘to speak fast’, ‘to speak slowly’), also the tone, pitch, and intensity of the voice (‘to speak softly’, ‘to say shrilly’). An analysis of the collected material shows that these units form a semantically very heterogeneous group, and tokens and idioms which belong to it are characterized by a significant degree of semantic complexity. The article touches also the question of motivation and evaluation which is presented in the text of lexical units.

In this essay/article, after introducing briefly the ideas expressed by various linguists on the matter in question, the author throws into discussion two issues: the origine of the patronymic Buzuku, as well as the origine of the name of Gjon’s father (Bdek), giving thus his contribution. He thinks that the two names, Buzuk and Buzuq, are nominal compounds. There is no doubt that the first part of these compounds is the noun buz/ë/(lip/s), but with the meaning ‘brink, border, bank’. It seems that with this meaning, are especially linked the toponyms and micro-toponyms, numerous throughout all the toponomastic nomenclature in our country, which come out since early times in various medieval documents to our days. The second part of Buzuk/Buzuq is the name Ujk (wolf), which appears since early in documents as personal name. It seems, then, that in Buzuk as well as in Buzuq, we have a compounding or a juxtaposition of two nouns, which originally named a place, buzë ‘brink’, where there were wolves, this perhaps in connection to some occurrence, now petrified in the micro-toponym Bazulk (respectively Buzuk). Later the noun must have been used as a patronym; over time it may have passed also to the naming of the village according to the name of the kin holding it. We are then within that circle which E. Çabej calls ‘the system of Albanian anthroponomy’.

The present contribution from the field of comparative Slavonic word for mation deals with a specific feature of the Czech language, namely its frequent (in comparison to other Slavonic tongues) use of adjectives of passive possibility (impossibility), which in Czech usually assume the suffix -telný (or ne-telný), and of so-called viewpoint adverbs, like cenově, vzhledově, and povahově. The article’s main focus is the situation of Czech from a diachronic perspective. Emphasis is also placed upon the differences between particular Slavonic languages as well as in academic traditions of linguistics in particular Slavonic nations. These theoretical remarks are illustrated with examples of different languages conveying the same message with means that are either synthetic (one word, e.g. adjective or adverb) or analytic (multi-word phrase).

The paper discusses selected problems of the language of football fanatics who constitute the so- -called szalikowcy subculture (‘hooligans; lit. scarfers’). The author pays most attention to two (pejorative) personal expressions: żyd ‘Jew’ and pies ‘dog’ which, in the hate-saturated conflict between the fans of two clubs from Cracow, Cracovia and Wisła, are used as heavy insults and invectives serving to humiliate and depreciate the opponent. The paper analyses the sphere of negative semantic connotations of both words, their origin and fluctuations.

The paper offers a short analysis of the word hála, attested in Serbo-Croatian, Macedonian and Bulgarian, including Banat Bulgarian. This noun is originally used to denote the daemon causing the storm of hail and tempest. According to popular beliefs the principal attributives of hála are enormous size and strength. Hála, being mainly the personification of the storm of hail, we also present, briefly, customs related to protection from hail. Referring to Banat Bulgarians, even if none of those we surveyed could not describe an accurate representation of the hála, there are some details that clearly demonstrates that we are dealing with the personification of a mythical being.

The essay is a corpus analysis of swear words and vulgarisms and their meaning in the television series Kosti. On the one hand it shows the translation of swear words and vulgarisms from Serbian language into German and on the other hand are possible interpretations of the vulgar Serbian expressions into German analysed, which are used for the subtitles of the series. The hypothesis whether swear words and vulgarisms in the target language German can be attenuate or, depending on the situation, even completely left out, is examined by using interlingual subtitles and quantitative reduction.

In this paper, first of all we will present Linguistic variation in Romanian language (LVLR) and Kabatek’s theory. Then we will formulate a methodology for the lexical availability in Romanian language. This subject is not new; it originated in France in 1950s and it studies the words that spring to our mind in response to a ‘topic prompt’ (the countryside, the city, food and drink, clothes etc.).

V dňoch 7. – 9. septembra 2021 sa v Prešove uskutočnila 21. medzinárodná konferencia Komisie pre slovanskú slovotvorbu pri Medzinárodnom komitéte slavistov pod názvom Slovanská slovotvorba: synchrónia, inovácie, neologizácia,2 ktorá bola spojená so zasadnutím tejto komisie. Podujatie zorganizovali Filozofická a Pedagogická fakulta Prešovskej univerzity v Prešove v spolupráci so Slovenskou jazykovednou spoločnosťou pri Jazykovednom ústave Ľudovíta Štúra Slovenskej akadémie vied a Komisiou pre slovanskú slovotvorbu pri Medzinárodnom komitéte slavistov. Vzhľadom na aktuálnu epidemickú situáciu sa toto medzinárodné podujatie konalo druhýkrát po sebe v online priestore, na virtuálnej pôde Prešovskej univerzity (v roku 2020 sa konferencia uskutočnila vo Varšave taktiež výlučne online).

Hašek is a Croatian on-line spellchecker that continuously operates since March 21, 1994, nowadays at the address https://ispravi.me/. In 25 years of functioning Hašek processed nearly 30 million texts, which build a corpus of more than 7 billion tokens. By comparison, all books ever published in Croatian form a corpus with less than 20 billion tokens. As a WWW-embedded tool, Hašek took advantage of many web-based services including learning. Thanks to Hašek’s learning capability, its dictionary increased from initial 100 thousand to more than 2 million word-types. Another aspect of learning was the creating and regular updating of the Croatian n-gram system. Unlike Google, whose n-gram systems are based on the WaC (Web as Corpus) approach and cut-off criteria, Croatian n-grams were extracted from processed texts by a lexical criterion: each n-gram constituent must be proven by the spellchecker as valid in Croatian spelling. The difference in approaches made Croatian n-gram system comparable in size to the largest Google n-gram systems. Unfortunately, the advantages of on-line spellchecking for rapid breakthroughs into much more sophisticated language technology areas were not recognized by Croatian decision makers, with some consequences mentioned in the paper.

Po wydaniu w latach 1958–1969 jedenastu tomów monumentalnego Słownika języka polskiego pod redakcją Witolda Doroszewskiego i następnie opublikowaniu opartego na materiałach i koncepcji leksykograficznej tego dzieła trzytomowego Słownika języka polskiego pod redakcją Mieczysława Szymczaka (1978) nastąpił w polskiej leksykografii pewien zastój. Wprawdzie w latach osiemdziesiątych zrodziła się idea opracowania nowego, wielkiego słownika, ale ostatecznie nie doszła ona do skutku z różnych względów, przede wszystkim prawdopodobnie z powodu zawiści środowiskowej. Nowy słownik miał być opracowany w Instytucie Języka Polskiego Polskiej Akademii Nauk pod redakcją Władysława Lubasia. Opublikowano tylko tom zawierający zbiór artykułów poświęconych analizie koncepcji tego dzieła.

The article presents an analysis of the peculiarities of the origin of the secondary form дрозки ‘rolling pin’ and highlights the specifics of the existence of variant forms of the noun in the Ukrainian language from the end of the 19th to the end of the 20th century. The analyzed word is a phonetic variant of the literary noun друзки , which is a loan translation of the Polish noun used in the construction rozbić w druzgi . The adaptation of the Polish phrase in Western Ukrainian dialects led to the emergence of the noun дрізки , which is a literary variant of the noun друзки . In the east, Ukrainian dialects mostly retain the form of друзки , which in the 17th century, as a result of analogy, changed to дрозки . The change took place in the Poltava region, from where a new phonetic form as a component of the construction of побити на дрозки extended into the adjacent territories. Sporadically written texts recorded the analyzed name before the early 1930s, but later the noun дрозки became obsolete in the Ukrainian language.

The paper reviews the various situations, which allow to postulate that Proto-Romanian did have a specific phoneme, a laryngeal or, perhaps, a velar spirant, conventionally noted as *X. The glossary and the case studies preceding it suggest that there are strong arguments supporting the reconstruction of such a phoneme; vatră, fărâmă, ceafă and buf are analyzed in more detail, but the list is a lot longer. The paper also discusses the situation of Proto-Slavic ch [χ], which – in initial position at least – also witnesses the existence of a ‘special phoneme’ in pre-expansion Slavic. The relationship between the Romanian and the Slavic forms should be understood in the light of old north Thracian and Proto-Romanian relations with Proto-Slavic. These were approached in other works and studies.
