СОЦИАЛНО–ПСИХОЛОГИЧЕСКИ ПАРАМЕТРИ НА ЕЗИКОВОТО КЛИШЕ

Author(s): Riya Altimirska / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

One of the specific characteristics concerning the modern development of Bulgarian language is a linguistic cliche - a phenomenon which is unique in its versatility and multi-functionality. This paper comprises selected, analyzed and summarized indicative viewpoints from various forums about cliche, and in particular linguistic cliche. Although a lot of the interpretations are contradictory, they all emphasize certain, often different, parameters and characteristics with regard to the way a cliche functions. Perceived as a multi-meaning and multi-function linguistic phenomenon with a wide range of social and psychological parameters and used in different speech situations and socio-cultural spheres a cliche due to its universality is being universalized. This research is an attempt to explain a linguistic cliche with the help of the specific sociopsychological characteristics of modern communication. The observations on Bulgarian language regarding its place, function, role and the dynamics of its current state give every reason to define a cliche as a linguistic phenomenon.

МОДЕЛИ НА ДИАЛОГА В МЕДИЙНАТА РЕЧ

Author(s): Venera Dimitrova / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The subject of the article is the answer as a reaction to the question in Bulgarian media discourse between the recipient and sender. The models that are analyzed do not fall into standard expectations when the recipient fills gaps in the information of the questioner. Various situations are analyzed, but in particular via so-called "dialogic game" where interlocutors have relatively equal participation in verbal communication. The aim is to penetrate to some extent in the principles of verbal interpersonal interaction. To understand whether there are specific models that successfully avoid unwanted response from the addressee. Are there any "stereotypes" of speech behavior? And how they spread in the Bulgarian media context? Are there dominant models that serve as "universal formula"?

Gažikanes vaj romanes?

Author(s): Markéta Hajská / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

V české a slovenské odborné literatuře věnované Romům se překvapivě málo příspěvků věnuje tématu bilingvismu Romů a postojům Romů k jazykům, kterými hovoří, což do značné míry platí i celosvětově (Matras, 2002), i když v posledních letech dochází na tomto poli zejména v zahraničí k publikování nových poznatků (Pinter, 2011; Bakker, Matras, 2013 a další). Obecně představují témata jako bilingvismus, jazyková směna a přepínání jazykových kódů jedny z oblastí, které jsou v posledních desetiletích předmětem zkoumání významných zahraničních badatelů zejména na poli lingvistiky, sociolingvistiky a sociální antropologie, a o kterých bylo publikovaných velké množství studií (Bell, 2013: 113; Auer, 1998: 1).

ANGLICIZMI U RJEČNICIMA BOSANSKOG JEZIKA S POČETKA 21. VIJEKA - ETIMOLOŠKA PERSPEKTIVA

Author(s): Amela Šehović / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

This paper focuses on words that the early 21st century monolingual Bosnian language dictionaries categorise as originating from the English language. The purpose of the research is to determine whether the etymology of these words has been correctly determined in these dictionaries and/or interpreted. In that respect, a comparative analysis of the corpus consisting of two monolingual dictionaries was conducted. The analysis determined that in many instances the etymological interpretation is either insufficiently precise and/or imprecise. Such reasons accentuate the need for a stronger inclusion of linguists from the field of foreign languages, in this case, English, in the process of compiling the Bosnian language dictionaries.

Official Multilingualism as a Public Policy: The Case of the Republic of South Africa

Author(s): Bilal Yalçinkaya,Mehmet Ali Göngen / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Public policy analysis is a social science discipline applied to better understand the policy-making processes and their consequences. In this study, it is aimed to reveal the analysis of the official multilingualism policy by examining the reasons, stages and results of the applied policy. Language policy is a component of public policy studies, and country-by-country review and planning of language policy make an important contribution to this topic. This study firstly addresses the classification of language policy tools and how they are used as a public policy tool. Then come its examination, classification in the public policy of the Republic of South Africa and the interpretation of its results. This article contributes to research on the development, implementation and consequences of language policy by discussing the place of the concept of official multilingualism in public policy and how it can be adapted to research. In other words, it is about examining the concept through a case analysis after the thematic analysis performed in the study. Then, a method is created to compare and examine language policies through the example of the Republic of South Africa. Max Weber suggests that language invites to unification but does not enforce it in the process of nation formation. The South African Republic, described as ‘Rainbow Nation’, accepted the invitation of various languages and combined it in the constitution as the common text. In addition, official languages were established in the provinces in proportion to their populations and became practicable in the entire state apparatus including the fields of education, health and communication. The language(s) harboring diversity and secessionism thus became the cement for the coexistence of various communities. The main objective with the recognition of 11 official languages is to prove that language would grow secessionist once ostracized, but associative once included in the state. Official multilingualism is the greatest inspiration for various communities to live in the same country without losing the sense of belonging and to hold on to the commitment for coexistence in spite of all the problems experienced in society.

Jezik i rodna ravnopravnost u akademskom kontekstu: regionalna perspektiva

Author(s): Jasmina Čaušević,Brigita Miloš,Ajla Demiragić,Lamija Subašić / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

Mnoga istraživanja i dostupni izvještaji jasno pokazuju da je rodno zasnovano nasilje8 prisutno na svim nivoima visokog obrazovanja i u svim naučnim disciplinama (Benya et al., 2018; Bondestam i Lundqvist, 2018, 2020; Clancy et al., 2014; Henning et al., 2017). Veliki broj žena i muškaraca doživjelo je neki od oblika nasilja u visokoškolskim ustanovama (Anitha i Lewis, 2018; Bondestam i Lundqvist, 2020; McDonald, 2012). Međunarodne studije ukazuju na to da je najmanje 25% studentica bilo izloženo rodno zasnovanom nasilju tokom školovanja (Benya et al., 2018; Vladutiu et al., 2011; Voth Schrag, 2017). Iako precizni podaci o stopi ovog oblika nasilja među nastavnim osobljem i istraživačima/istraživačicama u Evropskoj uniji još uvijek nisu dostupni, na osnovu velikog istraživanja koje je provela Agencija EU za osnovna prava (2014),9 može se pretpostaviti da je i u ovom slučaju stopa nasilja slična.

KO SAM JA? NEVIDLJIVOST U JEZIKU ZNAČI NEPOSTOJANJE

Author(s): Admir Alex Adilović / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

Diskriminaca ne uvek jasno vidljiva, podvuče se u jako male niti života i postaje realnost na koju eventualno pristajemo jer ne znamo za bolje, ili naprosto mislimo da bolje ne postoji. S druge strane, zakonski okviri u našoj državi jasno govore o tome šta je to diskriminaca, koje su osnove i kako se zakonski i šta treba tretirati. No, ako išta znam o ovoj državi, to je da sveto slovo na papiru u praksi ne znači apsolutno ništa. Da pojasnim, član 2. Zakona o zabrani diskriminace u BiH nedvojbeno naglašava: „Diskriminacom će se, u smislu ovog zakona, smatrati svako različito postupanje uključujući svako isključivanje“, te eksplicitno ubraja rodni identitet kao osnovu za diskriminacu. Uprkos ovome, svi rodni identiteti koji nisu u skladu sa onim društveno prihvaćenim bivaju svakodnevno isključeni = diskriminirani.

NOMEN EST OMEN? (RE)INTERPRETACA RODNIH OZNAČITELJA KROZ LEĆE KOGNITIVNE LINGVISTIKE

Author(s): Emir Muhić / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

Fenomenologa rodno osveštenog jezika nedvosmisleno otvara slojevita poglavlja u shvatanju stvarnosti, kako stare, tako i nove. Imajući na umu da upotreba jezika, koju možemo pratiti uz pomoć alatki iz domena korpusne lingvistike, određuje prirodnost diskursa, važno je sagledati koji konceptualni i kulturološki okviri nastaju u sinhronskom smislu i na koji način menjaju mehanizme percepce. Navedeni kognitivno-kulturološki okviri udaraju temelj za nove pristupe kodiranju jezičkog prostora i uspostavljaju neophodne sisteme za dekodiranje vrednosnih matrica, pomažu u razumevanju i usvajanju novih jezičkih praksi i sveobuhvatnih stvarnosti. U radu je težište stavljeno na dominantne pojmove u diskursu akademskog prostora anglofonih zemalja u odnosu na lokalni kontekst.

Osnovni predmet ovog kratkog prikaza je medski sadržaj objavljivan od janura 2022. do augusta 2023. godine na portalima, koji se bavio temom nebinarnosti. Ipak, vremenski period ne strogo ograničen, jer cilj ne bio pokazati koliko se kvantitativno tekstova pojavilo u nekom određenom periodu o ovoj temi, već nas je prevashodno zanimao kvalitet tekstova. Tekstovi su sakupljani tako što su se ključni izrazi – „nebinarne osobe“, „nebinarni rod“, „rodno fluidna osoba“ – ukucavale u pretaživač, a analiza se radila korištenjem desk research istraživačke metode, koja podrazumeva prikupljanje dostupnih, novih, relevantnih sekundarnih izvora informaca o pitanjima nebinarnosti, s fokusom na javni i medski prostor.

Specifika současné soukromé elektronické komunikace

Tento text je zaměřen na specifické rysy soukromé elektronické komunikace realizované prostřednictvím facebookového Messengeru. Vedle typických jevů, jako jsou slova cizího původu, specifické zkracování a zvláštní grafické prostředky (emotikony), o kterých hovoří například Hoffmannová (2016), se příspěvek věnuje též dalším jevům, jimiž se publikace dosud příliš nezabývají. Zejména jde o jevy způsobené autokorekcí, zvláštnosti v užití diakritiky, o výraznou fragmentárnost a dekontextualizaci.

The multifaceted and whimsical nature of discourse

Author(s): Jarmila Tárnyiková / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

My contribution, rooted in functional and systemic grammar, is based on the assumption that though discourse as a social behaviour and verbal interaction has been studied by great minds for decades, the dynamism of human evolution and the consequent changes in communicative strategies can hardly leave discourse analysts immune to a whole spectrum of new challenges. These are evoked by changes in the scope of items considered to be relevant for present-day research, by blurring the traditional borderlines between categories (written manifestation of spoken discourse in chatting), but before all by the existence of language corpora offering the immensity of data across genres, language varieties and language interfaces. A brief introduction (Part 1) will be followed by three main parts, focusing on reasons for multifacetedness in discourse (Part 2), whimsical nature of discourse (Part 3), and handson experience with overt language manifestations of vagueness, as exemplified by English placeholders (Mrs Thingy, John Whatsisname, whatchamacallit, so-and-so) emergent from the BNC and COCA corpora (Part 4). The aim is twofold: to map the facets which contribute to patterning and variation in discourse shaping, and by using authentic language data amplify the role of peripheral language devices in interaction.

Letters from Yordanka Filaretova to Maria Burmova: linguistic variation between 1865 – 1888

Author(s): Grace Fielder / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Letters from Yordanka Filaretova, a native of Sofia, to Maria Burmova are analysed for linguistic variants before the official codification of Bulgarian orthography in 1899. Filaretova's mobility, specifically her long-term residence in Istanbul, suggests loose (i.e. more dispersed rather than dense) social networks that correlate with innovations in linguistic norms and the diffusion of linguistic change. The paper thus contributes to the study of the linguistic history of norms listed below, that is, the value of language variants by speakers who were not centrally involved in debates about what language variants should eventually be chosen for the Bulgarian literary language.

WORDS MATTER: BREAKING DOWN TERMINOLOGY FOR OLDER GENERATIONS

Author(s): Ljerka Sedlan Kőnig / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The terminology used to describe and refer to citizens aged 60 or 65 and older has been a subject of evolving discourse in literature. A comprehensive literature review reveals a shift away from traditional terms such as “senior citizens” or “elderly” which are often perceived as outdated and laden with negative connotations. The literature underscores the significance of language sensitivity in fostering inclusive and age-friendly societies, recognizing the diverse experiences and capabilities of older citizens. Researchers highlight the importance of adopting language that promotes positive and respectful attitudes toward older individuals. Commonly endorsed alternatives include “older adults” and “seniors”, emphasizing a focus on the individual’s stage of life rather than defining them solely by age. In conclusion, the literature converges on the consensus that respectful, person-centered language is pivotal in shaping public perceptions of aging and fostering a more inclusive and age-positive societal discourse.

Смесеният език на виенските българи между виталността и отмирането

Author(s): Ana Kocheva / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

Language death occurs within unstable bi- or polylingual communities because of the linguistic dominance of the new language and the retreat of the minority language. The article draws some significant conclusions regarding the vitality and prospects for the existence and development of the mixed language that can be registered in many places among the larger Bulgarian-speaking migrant communities around the world. In this case, the conclusions are drawn on the basis of the mixed language of the Austrian Bulgarians. The mixed language has a more stable character in the first generation of Bulgarian migrants in Austria. In the case of the representatives of the second generation of Austrian Bulgarians, the process of Germanization is very advanced and they together linguistically oppose the representatives of the first Bulgarian generation with their already stabilized German lexical elements and grammatical constructions. While in the informants of the first generation the Austro-Germanisms have a variable character, in the second generation they have become almost the norm and the duplicity with Bulgarian elements is less inherent for them.
