This article suggests an attempt for analysis of the famous literary work by Ilia Volen. Its aim is the interpretation of the inner state and psychology of the main character – the former priest Nikolay Nazarov, - that is tragically split between humility and theomachy. His own inner contradictions and his relationships with relatives (his wife Johna, their son Stephan) and especially with God are also studied. Stephan’s death appears to be a crucial moment in the development of the plot because it becomes a reason for change of Nazarov’s view about life and radical transformation of his attitude towards the religion.

The text focuses on the politics of self-fashioning and the strategies for constructing of the autobiographical self in memoir literature, written by Bogomil Raynov, key figure in Bulgarian intellectual life during the socialist period. Raynov creates a character, who influences the establishment of tendencies, the opinions of some specific political figures and some concrete forms of party politics from a position, set in a complex relation to the official “seat” of power, thus having not really ideological, yet still authoritative place in the formation of the aesthetics and politics of the period. The analysis attempts to show that the reflexive self-fashioning of the intellectual in a situation of a repressive regime, done in the context of an always selective life-narrative, relies on diverse strategies for legitimizing of an image of life, in which the integrity of the subject is impossible.

In our research Sources of neonymy in the Romanian medical lexis, a theoreticalapproach of the concepts of neonymy, terminology, metaphorization from a typological, analytic,comparative, descriptive-linguistic perspective is proposed with application and examples from medical language. The objectives of the research: definition and status of neonyms, migration of terms,determinologization, terminologization, terminological metaphor. Our focus is on the terms stemmingfrom French and semantic neologisms – among which terminologization and metaphorization. Someconclusions: there are no clear boundaries between lexical neologisms and neonyms – inside thelinguistic system, due to conceptual dynamics, the tendency towards intellectualization of general language as the cultural level increases in a society. Lexical neologisms are not motivated, they establishsynonymic relations, have a stylistic, aesthetic, emotional, phonetic value, being characterized byconcision in terms of structure. Neonyms are motivated by the need to designate in terminology, theyeliminate synonymy and have, at structural level, analytic forms – syntagm, phrase and sentence types.Keywords: terminology, specialized metaphor, specialized lexis, cardiology

The following remarks focus on a section of the extensive spectrum of pre-formedlanguage as a special area of the language stock, whereby those phenomena are examined in moredetail which – precisely because they are established as formulation patterns in a language community – refer to human behavior or actions and thus to interpersonal relationships and social customs.Comparative phraseologisms (CP), which have been excerpted from representative phraseologicaldictionaries of German and Romanian, serve as the material basis. In communication practice, phraseologisms help with formulation work because communication tasks, which are an integral part ofsocial interaction, are routinely accomplished with the help of ready-made linguistic expressions. Theuse of phraseologisms can secure certain communication intentions. The article therefore takes up thefrequently expressed insight that the speakers of a language community have extensive, differentiatedeveryday knowledge about language and communication based on collective communicative experience, which is drawn on in linguistic interaction. The interlingual analysis of this excerpt from conventional language use reveals preferred images and metaphors in the compared languages Germanand Romanian, so that the article shows the productive source domains for the conceptualization ofthe event of communication. With regard to the phraseological occupation, similarities in the conceptual processing of this key term can be determined, whereby the registered convergences suggestcommon observations and attitudes in the targeted language communities

The article examines the use of the analytical diminutives in the German press texts.The semantic analysis of the documented diminutives is based on three criteria: establishing themeaning of the diminutive affixes (germ. Konfixe) according to their meanings; determining themeaning of the bases or roots from which the diminutives are derived; assigning the differentiationsof the meanings to the „denotative – connotative‟ groups.The analysis reveals that the denotative meaning of the diminutive affixes (germ. Konfixe) isrealised in the vast majority of the analysed examples. The connotative meaning of the analyticaldiminutive formations involves additional associations, emotions, or value judgments. The functionof these formations depends on the context and on the author‟s intention

The study examines intercultural challenges in the framework of translation inGerman as Foreign Language (GFL). This form of translation is mostly based on aspects of languageteaching im general and the teaching of language skills in German in particular, with regard togrammar, vocabulary, syntax, etc. The study analyses the practice of translation in German lessons asa moment of intercultural training. In addition to these linguistic parameters, the analysis looks at thepractice of translation in German lessons as a moment of intercultural training. The use of the texttype (e.g. literary or pragmatic texts), the choice of topics (e.g. country, civilization, culture, etc.)and, last but not least, the working and social form associated with the teaching practice all contributeto this. According to the thesis of this article, a reorientation with the use of cooperative or interactiveteaching in dealing with translation is favoured for intercultural purposes in translation.

Fairy tales have a universal appeal that transcends language and cultural barriers.They are familiar stories that children grow up with and are often part of their cultural heritage.Therefore, using fairy tales in foreign language lessons can help students become familiar with thenew language, making the lessons more lively and engaging.

The impact of information and communication technology (ICT) on education in thelast decades has been considerable. Undeniably, ICT continuously adds renewed interest to communication and learning. Modern educational approaches aim at teaching foreign languages (FL) by meansof effective, differentiated methods, multimodality being one of them. A number of empirical studieshave been conducted on the subject of using multimodal methods in FL teaching/ learning efficiently.Understanding how our brain works, and how people process the information best could be consideredone of the most important aspects that guarantees educational success. Moreover, the actual choice ofFL teaching methods depends not only on the level of mastery of the material, but also on the students‟age, gender, learning conditions, learning styles, as well as on the availability of resources. An essentialissue to consider, while using multimodality, is the VARK learning style model (visual, aural, read/write, and kinesthetic) developed by N. Fleming, whose questionnaire results show the learners‟ sensorymodality option in learning has a great influence on the quality of their knowledge. Multimodaliy is theblend of several modes of communication, i.e. images, music, sound, sight, print, and video that createmeaning in a text. The present article considers the option of using multimodality in teaching Englishin a FL class to the digital generation

: Over the course of art history, we have come to know titles of works that have beencirculated, taken up and transformed, such as Eugène Delacroix's La liberté guidant le peuple (1830)by Yue Minjun (1995), Gérard Rancinan (2008) and P Boy (2019), Edouard Manet's Le déjeuner surl'herbe (1863) at Pablo Picasso (1960), Daniel Spoerri (1983) and Seward Johnson (1994) orLeonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa (1503-1506) at Marcel Duchamp (1919), Fernando Botero (1959),Andy Warhol (1963) and Jean Michel Basquiat (1983). Devoted to the interaction between titles ofworks of art, this study is a reflection on the artist's discourse conveyed by the title-name, whichenters into interference with other titles of works of art, both earlier and later. We show how certaintitles are said, taken up again or modified, thereby signalling other titles, other discourses. In theencounter of discourse-titles, the title of a work of art is enriched by new semantic potentialities. Theconcept of Bakhtinian dialogism (1975 [1929]) will be used to examine the interdiscursive dialogismof art titles. The proposed analysis focuses on the mechanisms of reappropriation, reformulation andcirculation of certain artistic titles.
