The linguistic picture in Bulgaria is far from monolinguistic. Turkish is in a strong position in Bulgarian linguistic situation because it is really used and is a key element of the group identity of its bearers. Turkish in Bulgaria enjoys a high prestige withing the framework of its own group. It has real communication functions and is handed down in the family. The distribution and social function of Turkish as one of the minority languages is also important for the linguistic situation in the country. In connection with this, it is one of the linguistic formations participating in the Bulgarian linguistic situation. In analyzing the functioning of Turkish in Bulgaria, we have also tried to define the spheres of its usage and to present the place of Turkish in the life of the Turks, in addition to the spheres of communication and the individual social strata; the main trends related to Turkish and the factors that determine them, as well as to evaluate the conditions with a view to the future of Turkish among the Turkish community in Bulgaria.

The publication by Tomas Navarro Tomas of two fundamental books pertaning to Spanish phonetics („Manual de pronunciación española” (1918) y „Manual de entonación española” (1944) gave rise to the appearance of more publications dealing with the description and functioning of the Spanish phonetic and phonological systems. All the subsequent publications – which were based on Tomas Navarro Tomas’ books – attempted to develop, define more precisely and verify the theses formulated by the Father of Spanish phonetics. The author of this article presents a new important book which is indubitably an exceptional publication and constitutes a breakthrough in Spanish linguistics. His remarks are confined to the Spanish segmental system and phonetic change. The book came into being as the result of a close cooperation between 22 academies of the Spanish language („Nueva gramática de la lengua española. Fonética y fonologia”, vol. 3, 2011).

The author of the article analyzes the images of nature in the poetic works of Vladimir Soloviev, depicting the internal state of the poet, his feelings and emotions. Language means with the semantics of natural phenomena allow readers to imagine the poet´s ideas, his philosophy and mystical conception of the world. Displaying the colour scale, light and dark tones, sounds, and emotions is a typical feature of the poems where the poetic images and symbols concretize idiostyle of the writer.

Autobiographical, confessional style of Anna Akhmatova the dominating characteristic of a selfportrait in her poetry.

This Preface presents the volume The Art of Living, of Surviving, of Reviving. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Romance studies at the University of Łódź which was designed to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the reactivation of Romance studies at the University of Łódź, carried out today within the Institute of Roman Studies. At the same time, the book celebrates the 10th anniversary of the creation, within the Institute of Romanesque Studies, of the Department of Italian Philology. These anniversaries take place at the time of the Covid-19 pandemic, an unprecedented event in the global world of the 21st century, with confinement as a compulsory mode of operation for long weeks, even months.The rupture thus brought about undoubtedly led to a new perception of life and of what ił means to live. For more than one, this thick line that separates our existence before and after Covid-19 constitutes a memento inciting to wonder how to live the pandemic and during the pandemic, how to survive it and if it is possible to (re)live completely when it has corne to an end. These questions launched as the driving theme of the commemorative volume have called for a rich and varied reflection contained in 25 articles, falling within different sub-fields of linguistics.

External motivation, the classification and characteristics of this type of motivation - attributed to an impressive number of specialized terms in contemporary scientific languages - is the topic we propose to approach in our study. The motivated relationship between the signified object and the term and the metasemic motivation (in the case of change of meaning) are two of our general research directions. The definition of the metasemically motivated “travelling” metaphor in terminology, the cultural sources of this type of metaphor, the patterns of interdisciplinarity it creates in the corpus of terms and/or specialized discourse, the multi- and plurilingual dimension represent the specific objectives of our research (applicative and theoretical). The descriptive-linguistic method, the contrastive method are the methods applied in the study to show the extent to which the condition of precision of the specialized meaning is met in the different languages. The research findings reveal that external motivation, the metaphor, represents one of the creative forces of present terminology.

This essay intends to demonstrate that several descriptions of the Parisian landscape in Emile Zola’s novel, Creation, interrupt the plot, the succession of events and slow down both the rhythm of the story and the rhythm of the narrative act, without wearying the reader. Some descriptive passages of the novel seem to develop for themselves, spreading as a break, as recreative moments, which delay the denouement. We will show how, from a description to another, the reader is charmed by the “descriptive pauses”, which are truly impressionistic pictures in prose, and by the highly significant descriptions, full of symbolic details and images, predicting the characters’ destiny.

Bruges, a special town, similar to Paris, equally fascinates and inspires writers coming from different literary backgrounds. However, it is Georges Rodenbach who discovered its anthropomorphous character. The wanderers have a significant role within the narrative context, their very presence being associated with a quite large number of psychological reasons: pedantry, curiosity, aesthetic pleasure and fascination.

Jubilari ynë, prof. i nderuar Zef Mirdita, i ka kontribuar me kompetencë, (duke qenë filolog i mirëfilltë; njohës i gjuhëve klasike të lashtësisë e të antikitetit të Ballkanit) kërkimeve e rezultateve meritore në fushën e studimeve të historisë e të onomastikës pararomake e romake të hapësirës së sotme të Kosovës, më shumë se cilido dijetar kosovar. Punimet e tij për dardanët si njëri ndër fise të ilirëve apo për si popull më vete i ilirizuar mbeten gurthemel i historisë dhe i onomastikës së hapësirës pararomake e romake të shtetit të dardanëve. Në kontekstin e historisë së lashtë të Dardanisë, jubilari ynë i ka kontribuar pasqyrimit të rolit të pararendësve ilirë (dardanë) të shqiptarëve në përhapjen e krishterimit roman në gjithë hapësirat e banuara nga ilirët. Jubilari ynë është dhe do të mbetet zë i fuqishëm në dëshmimin e prejard-hjes ilire të shqiptarëve dhe kundërshtar i denjë i tezave për prejardhjen trako-dake e bese të shqiptarëve.

Në veriperëndim të qytetit të Vlorës, gati 12 km larg saj, mbi një gadishull të vogël, është vendosur sot katundi Zvërnec. Gojëdhëna të ndryshme, të gërshetuara edhe me ngjarje të vërteta historike, i atribuohen jetës shumëshekullore të këtij fshati. Ndër më të moshuarit e ditëve tona ruhet ende e gjallë gojëdhëna sipas së cilës të parët banorë të fshatit kanë ardhur nga Sazani, i cili shtrihet në perëndim të fshatit në fjalë dhe nuk është më tepër se 5 km larg nga bregu i detit. Vendosja e banorëve të parë në steré, d. m. th. në fshatin Zvërnec, justifikohet me faktin që në ishull mungonte ujët e pijshëm dhe mundësia e bluarjes së drithit. Si shkak tjetër përmenden pirateritë e hapura në mes të detit. Mendoj se në këto të dhëna në formë gojëdhënash, të cilat ruhen ende fort në të moshuarit, duhet të ketë edhe njëfarë baze për ngjarjet e ndryshme historike, që janë vërtetuar nga njeri shekull te tjetri.
