Lematizácia, morfologická anotácia a dezambiguácia slovenského textu - webové rozhranie

Author(s): Radovan Garabík,Kristína Bobeková / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 1/2021

Lemmatization, morphological (or morphosyntactic) annotation (MSD) and disambiguation is a basic and indispensable step in Natural Language Processing of languages with a moderate level of inflection. We present a web interface demonstrating the de facto default lemmatization and MSD for Slovak, as used in major Slovak corpora (with several enhancements yet to be applied in the corpora). The interface can be used chiefly for presentation or pedagogical purposes, with the morphological tags expanded and explained using plain language in several languages, including two different terminological registers of Slovak (professional linguistic or a "common" one).

Reciprocita v slovenčine a optimalizácia jej lexikografického spracovania

Author(s): Martina Ivanová / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 2/2020

The study deals with the question when does the reflexive marker sa, si accompanying a verb present the clitic form of the pronoun and when it can be described as the reflexive morpheme used to derive verb with reciprocal semantics. Considering the results of a semantic test (reciprocity as the typical implication of the verb semantics) and syntactic test (the possibility to use the verb in the subject discontinuous construction), we came to the conclusion which verbs can be considered as derived reciprocals and thus should be processed in the dictionary and in which cases the reflexive marker is used to coin the reciprocal construction of non-reflexive verb with the reciprocity as possible, yet not typical implication.

Na hranici vlastných mien a druhových označení: sémantické, pravopisné a právne aspekty používania slovenských názvov olympijských podujatí

Author(s): Marek Mikušiak / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 2/2022

The paper deals with the Slovak names referring to the Olympic Games that appear to be, in a sense, borderline cases between proper names and generic terms. The study focuses on semantic and spelling aspects of these names, but also on legal restrictions imposed on the use of the term olympiáda (Olympics/Olympiad), so the analysis goes beyond the traditional semantics and partly falls within the field of applied linguistics focusing on language and law. The paper shows that despite the latest proposal the Slovak spelling system cannot be consistently based on the principle of "completeness" of the name. Secondly, it is argued that spelling variants olympiáda/ Olympiáda and olympijské hry/ Olympijské hry should be accepted in written Slovak. Finally, the study clarifies the special status of the word olympiáda as quasi-trademark, resulting from the legislative protection of the Olympic symbolism.

Fonetické a fonologické výskumy v časopise Slovenská reč

Author(s): Ivan Očenáš / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 3/2022

The article summarizes the development of linguistic disciplines dealing with the sound aspects of speech and the Slovak language and the development of phonetic and phonological thinking in the context of the articles published in the previous ninety volumes of the Slovenská reč journal. Their authors have published several remarkable studies, professional informative contributions, discussions and polemical articles, but especially the results of their scientific research work. Among the dominant topics and discussed problems were orthoepic issues, composition, relationships and functioning of the elements of the segmental system and suprasegmental properties of speech, the functioning of quantity and its guidance by the rhythmic law, its cooperation with phonology, derivation and morphology in the context of orthography, as well as the implementation of modern research methods at the sound level of Slovak and the creation of its systemic character.

Morfologické výskumy v časopise Slovenská reč

Author(s): Jana Kesselová / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 3/2022

The study traces the development of morphological thinking about the Slovak language during the 90-year existence of the Slovenská reč journal. Morphology has been at the forefront of attention throughout the period, with the focus consistently on nouns and verbs. In the early years, contributions focused on normative morphology and the preservation of the purity of Slovak predominated along with the genre of diversity. The development of modern morphology begins with an orientation towards the description and classification of word classes and form-formation processes. A landmark was the publication of Morfológia slovenského jazyka (Morphology of the Slovak Language, 1966) with a system-structural description of the Slovak morphological system. By the end of the 1980s, interest in semantic-functional morphology intensified. The predominant genre is discussion. Since the 1990s, the methodological spectrum has been broadening. The sociolinguistic view of morphological variants, corpus morphology, morpho-pragmatics as well as the explanation of the dynamics of morphology and the morphological disposition of human beings are being promoted.

Slovotvorné a morfematické výskumy v časopise Slovenská reč

Author(s): Martin Ološtiak / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 3/2022

The article describes the works focusing on word-formation and morphology published in Slovenská reč during the ninety years of the existence of the journal. The first part pays attention to contributions focused on normative activity (in the first two decades). The most prominent author in this period was Belo Letz. A significant turning point were the 1950s and the articles by Ján Horecký, who fundamentally shifted the understanding of word-formation and developed the first consistent word-formation theory in Slovak linguistics. In the following period up to the present day, attention was paid to all important aspects of word-formation (derivation, compounding, word-formation of nouns, adjectives, verbs and other parts of speech, word-formation and terminology, morpho-phonology, proper names, dialects). The final part is devoted to morphemics.

Štylistické výskumy v časopise Slovenská reč

Author(s): Daniela Slančová,Stanislava Spáčilová / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 3/2022

Stylistics is a topic, which is present in the Slovenská reč journal from its very beginning – not only in scientific studies, but also in essays, reviews, discussions and reports. Slovenská reč is a platform, where the continuous stabilization of stylistics as part of Slovak linguistics can be observed, including the research objectives, terminology and methodology. The majority of articles are focused on the linguo-stylistics and stylistics of communication spheres, based mainly on the concept of functional style – scientific, media, administrative, literary, and common spheres specifically. In the last decades, it is also a religious sphere. In the 1950s, in accordance with its main profile, educational stylistics is preferred; in the 1960s – 1980s, it is textual stylistics and theoretical and practical questions of composition. There are also articles concerning other parts of stylistics, mainly translational stylistics and in the 21st century significantly also pragmastylistics.

Onomastické výskumy v časopise Slovenská reč

Author(s): Juraj Hladký,Iveta Valentová / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 3/2022

Onomastics as an independent linguistic discipline was also formed and developed through studies, articles and comments on current orthographic problems of proper names by Slovak linguists and onomasticians in the Slovenská reč journal. In this article, we have tried to show this development at least partially. We have focused on the solution of theoretical, methodological, etymological and orthographic issues in the research of proper names. We have characterized the works dealing with analyses of onymic lexis and containing synthesizing results of these analyses within the framework of individual onomastic branches, basic types of proper names and thematic areas. We compared the proposed solutions to the problematic phenomena discussed within the state of the art and its results at present.

O nárečiach v Slovenskej reči (najmä) z pohľadu dialektológie

Author(s): Viera Kováčová / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 3/2022

The paper summarizes nine decades of the Slovenská reč journal with a thematic focus on regional dialects and their scholarly reflection in the texts published therein. First and foremost, it presents articles of a dialectological nature but, in justified cases, attention is also paid to articles from other linguistic areas or approaches, as long as they bring relevant information about dialects (their reception and evaluation, development and functioning). As the results of the analysis show, the golden era of dialectology and dialects in the journal was the period of the 1970s through the 1990s, when not only the number of dialectologically oriented contributions increased but their material relevance, interpretive plausibility, and thus overall scholarly value intensified.

Historická lingvistika v časopise Slovenská reč

Author(s): Gabriela Múcsková / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 3/2022

The article presents an overview of researched topics from the field of historical linguistics presented in the nine decades of the Slovenská reč journal. The analysis of the journal’s content reveals that the field of historical linguistics is covered very fragmentarily and the reasons for this state are summarized in the introductory part of the paper. In the next parts, individual cases of phonetic, grammatical, and lexical changes are characterized, as well as the opinions of different scholars on the particular topics are compared. The presentation of historical linguistic topics is closely connected with other diachronic linguistic disciplines such as etymology, dialectology, onomastics, and the history of literary language. Moreover, the types of analyzed questions also revealed the thematic conditionality of the historical research topics and current issues discussed in the synchronic linguistic spheres.

Výskumy jazykových kontaktov v časopise Slovenská reč

Author(s): Martin Ološtiak,Soňa Rešovská / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 3/2022

The article presents an overview of texts dealing with contact linguistics in terms of borrowing as a means of enriching the lexicon, adaptation of loanwords, comparative linguistics, etc., published in Slovenská reč, a Slovak linguistics journal, in the course of ninety years of its existence. The authors of the article describe the topic in six main parts. First, a general overview of how contact linguistics was covered during the first twenty years of the journal’s existence is given. Incidentally, purist tendencies were one of the motivating factors for founding the journal in the early 1930s. The article then moves on to the descriptions of texts dedicated to general issues connected with contact linguistics. The main part of the text provides a detailed description of texts dedicated to the adaptation of loanwords on the level of phonology, morphology, word-formation, and orthography. Special attention is also paid to the adaptation of proper nouns, being a significant interest of authors in Slovenská reč since its inception. The article concludes with a summary of texts concerning various unique topics that do not fit into the previous categories such as lexicographic, sociolinguistic and interdisciplinary aspects of borrowing.

Sociolingvistika a sociálne aspekty výskumu jazyka v časopise Slovenská reč

Author(s): Jana Wachtarczyková / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 3/2022

The article is a retrospective of the development of sociolinguistics on the pages of the Slovenská reč journal. Although sociolinguistics began to establish itself in Slovak studies only in the 1980s, the author traces social motives from the very beginning of the journal. The author identifies three developmental stages of sociolinguistics in Slovenská reč: (1) the pre-sociolinguistic stage from 1932 to 1955, (2) the implicit leitmotif-like stage from 1955 to 1979, and (3) the modern stage, characterized as its own sociolinguistic stage – from 1979 to the present day. In each period, the author introduces important social aspects resonating in the journal, recalling published works, authors, and contemporary contexts that framed the reflection on social themes in linguistic work. The third part reflects on modern sociolinguistic thinking in Slovak studies and the internal differentiation of the discipline within the Slovak language. It captures the diversity of themes and approaches in individual conceptual domains.

Skúmanie jazyka literárneho diela v časopise Slovenská reč

Author(s): Juraj Vaňko / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 3/2022

The issue of the language of a literary work was at the center of attention of the Slovenská reč journal from the very beginning of its existence. It was related to the efforts of the editors to establish the standard of literary Slovak and increase its culture in practice, with a special emphasis on the culture and purity of the language of literature. Therefore, the contributions about the language of the literary works of Slovak writers are mainly published in the years 1932-1939, i.e. in the period of the peak of the purist focus of the journal, clearly of a language-critical nature: they point out language errors, especially Bohemisms in the analyzed literary texts. After 1945, when Slovenská reč as a journal for the Slovak language research definitively abandoned the position of purism, contributions about the language of a literary work are oriented towards a functional analysis and interpretation of the language of a literary text.

Pragmatické určenie akoby v egovzťažných súvislostiach

Author(s): Jana Sokolová / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 2/2023

The impetus to write this paper was an analysis of the expression as if (akoby) as a component of the "equivalence" principle and the determination of its legitimacy as a component of the "behavior" principle. The study is focused on the search for further connections between the verbal behavior of the speaker and the linguistic aspects of as if (akoby) because it is used as a manifestation of motivated, ego-related and assertive verbal behavior. As if (akoby) an be viewed as: (a) a component of the principle of verbal behavior that attributes an egocentric meaning to the speaker´s behavior; (b) an egocentric expression of the hypotaxis with an implicit speaker and the semantics of circumstantial and characteristic contexts; (c) a pragmatic mmarker of the speaker´s ego-related interpretation of facts. Interpretation, which is grasped is grasped at the following two levels, is the methodological framework of the monitored aspects: (i) in the sense of the ego-related evaluation of a fact or event by the speaker, i.e. in the sense of participatory interpretation, and (ii) in the sense of expainning the verbal behavior of the speaker, i.e. in the sense of searching for the motives, intentions and goals that form the preconditions for his/her verbal behavior.

K explanácii jazykového štýlu

Author(s): Juraj Dolník / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 1/2024

The study focuses on the formulation of ideas as a contribution to the explanatory theory of speech style. Ideas relate to the ontological basis of style, the fundamental role of sociocultural meanings, the rationality of stylistic knowledge, and the deep motivation of stylistically relevant linguistic behavior and action in social interaction. The author approaches style from a holistic position based on the belief that speech style is integrated into the ways of human activity as a whole controlled by a pragmatic subject. In the center of attention is the subject of style, who discovered sociocultural meanings tied to the ways of activities, developed the ability of stylistic adaptation to current conditions of social interaction, and learned to deal with stylistic knowledge with appropriate rationality in communication practice. The author also answers the question of what laws and principles underlie the existence of style, its subject and stylistic behavior and actions.

Vlastní jména míst označujících české a slovenské lokality v mineralogické nomenklatuře

Author(s): Jan Holeš / Language(s): Czech Issue: 1/2024

The article deals with the terminology of mineralogy, particularly with the names of minerals formed from proper names of places located in the territory of the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic. The official list of minerals approved by the Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification of the International Mineralogical Association is used as a corpus. In the sample, containing almost six thousand items, 40 terms of this type were found, constituting 21% and 24% of the names for which the Czech Republic or the Slovak Republic is listed as the first place of discovery. These terms have become part of the official terminological vocabulary of the natural sciences. For each of them, the article provides its etymology. The names are based on onomastic metonymies, with roots referring to the names of type localities where the minerals were found, names of the surrounding villages, towns, hills, and mountain ranges.

On the Etymology of the name Haná (River and Region in Central Moravia)

Author(s): Ondřej Bláha / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2024

The author evaluates the existing etymological interpretations of the nameof the Haná river in Central Moravia, which became the name of the entire adjacent region in 16th century. Taking into account the natural character of Haná river and the assumed inter-ethnic contacts in Moravia at the time of the arrival of the Slavs, the author considers it likely that the name of the Haná river is motivated in the same way as the name of the Jahna river in Saxony. According to the author, both names are Germanic, the original form of both names is *Ganō and the Indo-European root *gʰan- 'to yawn' (cf. German verb gähnen) is at the base of the name. The Haná river is thus a 'yawning river', i.e. a lazy flowing, shallow river with low banks.
