Author(s): Tatiana Romanova / Language(s): Russian Issue: 2/2018

The article deals with the texts of Russian commercial advertising slogans that express association with the concept of “RUSSIA” by including ethno-specific components of verbal nature. In texts of the slogans, signs of Russian identity that mark the cultural space of Russia are revealed, representing the advertising stimulus for the recipient. Such verbal ways of expressing Russian national and cultural identity as ethno-specific trademarks are analyzed, as well as ethnonyms and ethnotoponyms, descriptive nominations and paraphrases, toponyms, precedent statements and words denoting national and cultural values and stereotypes, rhyme in slogans, and other techniques of ethno-specific advertising. The semiotic analysis that has been carried out in the article is relevant for studying characteristics of the language of modern Russian advertising. The study of slogans, including Russian ethno-specific components, allows us to draw conclusions about the set of auto-stereotyped ideas of Russians about their country.

Author(s): Atanas Anov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2018

Studying speech acts is an interesting method in the study of language. This article adopts J. L. Austin’s understanding of speech acts and it aims to present his ideas for performatives and to introduce new notion “meta-constatives”. To accomplish this goal first we will briefly introduce analytic philosophy’s context, with which we can explicate philosophy of ordinary language, speech acts and in particular performatives. In the second part of the article meta-constatives will be presented. The later are utterances, with which we can show how things in the world must be. In the second part of the article we will also turn our attention towards imperative sentences, through which we build meta-constatives. Also, a relation between performatives and meta-constatives will be created. Finally, the article points out differences between meta-constatives and imperatives.

F2 Transition Measurement in Bulgarian Adults who Stutter and who do not Stutter

Author(s): Gergana Padarva-Ilieva,Dobrinka Geogrieva / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2018

There is strong research evidence that F2 transitions may be used to differentiate the speech of persons who stutter from that of persons who do not stutter. However, what is known about F2 transitions in stuttering is based mostly on speakers of English. In this paper we present the first experiment on F2 transition in native Bulgarian speakers. Subjects included four Bulgarian adult males who stutter (mean age = 24 years) and four age-matched Bulgarian adult males who do not stutter. The software product Motor Speech Profile (MSP) as a part of the computerized speech laboratory (Kay Pentax) was used for the measurement of F2 transition. There was a notable difference in the magnitude of F2 variations, the rate of F2 variations and the regularity of F2 variations between participants who stutter and who do not stutter.

Хиперфункции на възрожденския текст. Към въпроса за началата на новобългарския книжовен език

Author(s): Vladislav Milanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2024

This article is dedicated to the specificity of messages in texts from the Bulgarian National Revival period. The aim is to trace the complex relationship between content and speech in Revival texts. The paper presents current reflections related to the beginnings of the modern Bulgarian literary language, supporting a scientific hypothesis that has gained popularity in recent years. This hypothesis posits that the periodization of the modern Bulgarian literary language cannot be understood through the simple relationship of „from - to“ but must be entirely aligned with the dynamics of linguistic processes in their complex competition. At this stage, the idea of unfolding the reality of Revival texts through the lens of the relationship between the center and the periphery is proposed, with the emphasis being that, in view of the linguistic picture of the world, the boundaries between the two are not as clearly defined and tend to blur.

OTHER. ON UNDERSTANDING OF THE RECIPROCAL-DIRECTED EXPECTATIONS WITHIN THE NUMINOUS DYNAMICS

Author(s): Alexandru-Ioan Cânda / Language(s): English Issue: 40/2025

Pursuing the numinous through the effort to make it present and manifest, but also to establish a communication, the mystic finds himself in search of some meaning about this numinous-Other that is to be. This search is not only a travail of crossing, but an encounter with the other in the construction of his own enunciation that tends to develop a language of encounter with this Other – yet still through the construction with which he also participates in communication. Sharing a common meaning, both the mystic and the numinous enunciation become openings of addressing and relationship that will thus impose a new common reality of revealing mutual meanings.

PRAGMATICS IN FOOD ADVERTISING

Author(s): Andreea DINU / Language(s): English Issue: 40/2025

Pragmatics has a very important role in understanding how advertising texts communicate and persuade beyond explicit messages. This paper investigates the frequently used strategies in food advertisements to influence the consumer's behavior and fasten decision-making processes. Through a qualitative approach, the current paper analyzes a diverse corpus of digital media food advertising texts. Implicature, presupposition, deixis, speech acts, and relevance are identified and analyzed by highlighting how these strategies create emotional responses, reinforce cultural values, and establish common assumptions between advertisers and consumers.This research proves that implicature is generally used in suggesting benefits and qualities that are not directly stated; presuppositions deepen the assumption about the health advantages or the quality offered by a product without claiming it. Deictic expressions and speech acts create personal relevance and psychological closeness through commands and invitations. Relevance theory shows how advertisers optimize the communicative impact. The study contributes to pragmatics, advertising, and consumer behavior by explaining how pragmatic strategies operate as powerful tools.
