News which were analyzed are those of RTRS, FTV and BHT in the period from 1995 to 2005.

SIMBOLI STATUSA I MOĆI

Author(s): Ivana Grbavac / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 1/2015

In multiethnic ecologies the relationship between language and identity is a highly complex issue.. Identity as a multilayered, variabile and dynamic process mirrors itself in the linguistic landscape (LL), the sum of linguistic signs in an urban setting. Our paper aims at measuring the presence and markers of ethnolinguistic identity in the aftermath period in the LL of a divided city, the city of Mostar. Our aim is to analyse linguistic signs from 'in vitro' and 'in vivo' perspective, in other words as set up by government and private acters.Linguistic landscape of the divided city of Mostar is an arena with diverse identities (linguistic, ethnic, cultural etc.) confronted. Different ethnicities are in constant fight endeavouring to leave more 'prints' of their identity. The presence of a language in the LL of a city is a symbol of strength and vitality of the language community. On the other hand the absence of a language in the LL of a city tells us that the language and its speakers do not possess a high status in the public and social life of the community. Therefore, according to the Symbolic Value Principle by Spolsky and Cooper, various ethnicities 'mark their territory'. The results of our research have shown that public signs in the LL of Mostar are indeed symbols of status and power. This speaks for the vitality of different cleveages in the society. Nevertheless, the high percentage of ethnolinguistic identity markers at the same time suggests that the social environment in the city of Mostar is quite tolerant and open for diversity, social and cultural.

Langue, culture et nation

Author(s): Snježana Kordić / Language(s): French Issue: 2-3/2016

Imaginez la situation où les francophones de France, de Belgique, du Canada et de l’Afrique se mettent d’un coup à prétendre parler des langues différentes et à appeler leurs « langues » par des noms différents. C’est exactement le cas des locuteurs serbo-croates en Croatie, en Serbie, en Bosnie et au Monténégro. Il faut noter que les différences linguistiques y sont moindres qu’entre francophones de diff érents pays (Thomas, 2003). Elles sont également pluspetites qu’entre germanophones d’Allemagne, d’Autriche et de Suisse (Pohl, 1996), qu’entre anglophones de Grande-Bretagne, des États-Unis du Canada et de l’Australie (McLennan, 1996), entre hispanophones d’Espagne et d’Amérique Latine, entre lusophones du Portugal et du Brésil (Thomas, 2003). Elles sont plus insignifiantes encore que les différences entre les langues usités par les Blancs et les Noirs des grandes villes américaines (Gröschel, 2003).

Odwołania do wartości społecznych i ocena rzeczywistości w kampaniach wyborczych kandydatek na urząd prezydenta RP w latach 2005 i 2015

Author(s): Ilona Witkowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 5/2016

The aim of the considerations featured in the article is to distinguish the most important values, with special reference to social values, to which the female candidates who pursued the office of the president of the Republic of Poland referred to in their electoral campaigns – Henryka Bochniarz in 2005 and Magdalena Ogórek in 2015. In the electoral discourse each politician uses a certain set of values which he or she considers relevant and efficient in his or her message and ones which are consistent with his or her ideology, therefore the author of the article suggests to examine more closely the ways of evaluating reality that both female candidates embraced and analyses the similarity (and the variety) or convergence (and divergence) of the values which these candidates emphasise and support.

Author(s): Peter Horváth,Martin Švikruha / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2/2015

Media represents an important part of society, while in different ways it is involved in its formation and development. In addition to the traditional media, the importance of digital media in society is growing. The latest trends are also in the interest and attention of politicians, who maintain their popularity by using new technology. So nowadays we can observe in the current policy different forms of digital interactions between the political entities on the one hand and citizens on the other. The rate of interaction between these actors is intensifying with the approach of elections.

Archiwalia: The Identifying Function of Language

Author(s): Władysław Lubaś / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2016

The linguistic literature (Buhler, Jakobson) mostly mentions six functions of language, paying little attention to the identifying function. Following the assumption that language is not an ‘ordinaty’ element of culture, but is its main basis, we believe that it has more and less stable elements, whose functions are arranged hierarchically.The identifying function has medium stability, is historically variable and becomes particularly important during intensive political changes or (nationalistic) conflicts. An example might be the recent split of Serbo-Croatian into tree languages. The identifying function is always connected with evaluation, which often exaggerates the positive character of a group and its language. Other groups and other languages can be perceived as worse. The identifying function is realized both individually (it can be identified with the expressive function of an individual then) and in a group. In this role it is often used or even abused in modern culture and especially politics. Instead of synonyms and periphrastic expressions we suggest that Polish linguists should make use of the term identifying function of language defined as a nationally or internationally protected function (based on cultural, ideological, or – less frequantly – religious elements) which enables a group of people of common aims, beliefs, ideas and interests to create a community.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN FINLAND AS A PART OF EUROPE – CONNECTION WITH DIMITRIE CANTEMIR

Author(s): Marja-Liisa Tenhunen / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2020

Freedom of expression is a right of citizens' fundamental rights to express and receive their views in public. Freedom of opinion and expression can be considered as a prerequisite for safeguarding many other key rights. Finland‘s history of freedom of speech and press has been reviewed ever since 1766 by Anders Chydenius, who wrote at the age of 37: ―The freedom of the nation is always proportional to the freedom of printing it possesses, so that neither can exist without the other.‖ United Nation´s (UN) Human Rights Conventions International Convention on Civil and Political Rights has created rules in the Article 19: Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion without any external interference and everyone has freedom of expression. The philosophical purposes written by Dimitrie Cantemir could be considered as part of the freedom of the speech, at least indirectly. There are many similarities between Anders Chydenius´s and Dimitrie Cantemir´s main targets. Problems concerning freedom of speech have emerged in recent years as a result of the use of social media. That is why we need a debate and new legislation.

LE MESSAGE ANNUEL DU PRÉSIDENT POUTINE AU PARLEMENT FÉDÉRAL : UNE MODÉRATION PLUS FORTE QUE PRÉSAGÉE

Author(s): Angela Di Gregorio / Language(s): French Issue: 1/2015

Le message annuel de Vladimir Poutine a été très attendu à la fin de l’année 2014, à l’intérieur comme à l’extérieur du pays, en raison notamment de la détérioration des indicateurs économiques en Russie et de la crise ukrainienne. Les deux événements ont des liens évidents : les sanctions internationales ont aggravé une situation économique déjà critique en Russie à cause de la baisse du coût du pétrole sur les marchés internationaux et de la dévaluation conséquente du rouble.

How Does the “Us” versus “Them” Polarization Work? Capturing Political Antagonism with the Political Antagonism Scale

Author(s): Lenka Hrbková,Jakub Macek,Alena Macková / Language(s): English Issue: 01/2025

his article introduces and validates a Political Antagonism Scale (PAS) aimed at capturing politically motivated antagonism among people in survey research. Recent trends indicate a rise in politically motivated polarization across various countries. This polarization often transcends mere ideological distance, fostering an identity-based “Us” versus “Them” political perspective. Consequently, this transforms the traditional agonistic political competition into a deeply adversarial antagonistic relationship, wherein political counterparts are viewed as enemies. Such conflict dynamics may have serious consequences for democratic politics and should be examined by scholars of political polarization across different political contexts and at different time points. However, a comprehensive survey tool addressing this form of polarization has been lacking. The PAS is designed to capture the complex nature of political antagonism and target individual antagonization towards their political outgroups on the level of social groups, political elites, the media, and everyday life. In addition, we present a regression model identifying potential sources of political antagonism. Our findings highlight the significant association between political antagonization and a prevailing sense of ontological insecurity.

NEDOSTATCI U PRIMJENI MEĐUNARODNIH OBVEZA JAVNOG RTV SUSTAVA BOSNE I HERCEGOVINE

Author(s): Ilija Musa,Nino Ćorić,Robert Vidović / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 1/2018

Freedom of expression guaranteed by international documents assures freedom to seek as well as to receive and disseminate information. Public radio-television services should be the ones to disseminate socially important information in the country where they were established. Their special task is to produce and distribute program contents which do not have commercial but highly social value. That refers especially to cultural, educational and religious programs, whose broadcasting satisfies the needs of media reporting of a certain population group and for which public media receive certain incomes through charging the RTV fee or other forms of public financing. On the basis of the analysis of public radio-television system international obligations and comparison with international obligations of other public activities, the paper gives conclusions and recommendations for its improvement in order to satisfy universal needs for informing based on the international acts and which the current moment of technology development makes simply available.

Роман в письмах: механизм диалога власти и общества в эпистолярном жанре

Author(s): A. D. Popova,Olga Dimitrievna Popova / Language(s): Russian Issue: 48/2024

The article investigates citizens’ letters addressed to officials in the second half of the 20th century. The authors show that people perceived the government as a multicomponent structure. People addressed their letters to the leaders of the Soviet State, to the central government and local authorities, to various social institutions, as well as to journals and newspapers. Soviet citizens often addressed their letters both to the central newspapers such as Trud (Labour), Izvestiia (News), Krokodil (Crocodile) and to local ones. Soviet citizens wrote their letters hoping to solve their everyday problems as well as in response to propaganda and agitation. To understand the specifics of this epistolary discourse, one should investigate both the issues discussed in a letter and its format: politeness formulas, emotions, arguments, etc. The research shows that Soviet citizens treated authorities through the prism of social and political guidelines and patterns. The chronological analysis enables the researchers to explore the evolution of the interaction between citizens and authorities and the dynamics of citizens’ confidence in the actions of the government. The research shows that in the second half of the 20th century citizens viewed the actions of the government with growing criticism. In their letters, citizens did not express requests, they criticized. The ideology experienced a crisis, the gap between common people and authorities was growing, letter writers were more demanding, social trust was gradually declining to increase during the Era of Perestroika. The authors conclude that social transformations had a great impact on the interaction between society and authorities.

MEDIJI, POLITIKA I POLITIČKA PROPAGANDA

Author(s): Milovan Milutinović,Luka V. Todorović / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 14/2017

Relations between the media and society, the media and politics, politics and propaganda have always aroused the attention of governmental, professional and scientific circles, as a point of peaceful or unstable political situations. These relationships are becoming more intense in democratic societies, as a specific symbiosis, or the division of powers between the media and politics ie. removing or deleting of the borders, which used to be quite often and pointed out. Language is a normative-grammatical adopted system of verbal signs that makes the most symbolic order, without it, it is impossible to have normal mental life of man, as well as to have the process of thinking and communicating. The exchange of characters that makes up language is the essence of human communication, the communication system and the basis of communication and political propaganda. That is reason why the linguistic communication is done through words (spoken, written, painted, scrambled) and is not be limited only to this. The propaganda messages make special significance in the realization of political objectives especially through the process of political propaganda because they realize tasks, persuasion or suggestion; and is intimidating or mobilizer of the combat energy; and to achieve it, should be: accessible, attractive, understandable and convincing.
