The survey results of Croatian survey participants related to monolingual dictionaries of Croatian are presented and described. Moreover, the contemporary situation of the general monolingual lexicography of Croatian is described and critically analysed. The survey has been conducted in 2017 on almost ten thousand participants in 26 European countries within the COST Action IS1305 (XUoSHDQ 1HWZoUN oI H LH[iFoJUDSK\ (ENeL), among which there were 516 Croatian participants. There has been many scientific and professional papers on lexicography of Croatian, but this research brings some new and stimulating insight into dictionary users, their habits, wishes, and expectations. The results are even more interesting when Croatian users are compared with the European users, by which a wider picture of the state of the contemporary monolingual and general lexicography of Croatian can be created.

The development of collocational competence in second/foreign language is a long and complex process influenced by many factors. The most extensive research has been done on collocations in English as a Second Language (ESL). Receptive knowledge is usually examined with multiple-choice tasks and results regularly point to better development of receptive over productive knowledge (Koya, 2003; Brashi, 2006; Jaén, 2007; Begagić, 2014). The main goal of this research is to examine answer types in receptive knowledge tasks on noun collocations, considering their frequency and subjects’ Croatian as Second Language (CLS) proficiency level. This research, which focused on basic adjective + noun collocations, was conducted on 70 CLS speakers of B1 and B2 proficiency level. Before compiling the instrument, corpus analysis was performed in the hrWaC 2.1 corpus, which was also used to count the frequency of collocations. In order to examine the receptive knowledge of collocations in CSL, subjects completed a multiple choice task that, apart from the correct answer, included three distractors that comprised false pairs from subjects’ first languages (English, Polish, Spanish, and German) and Croatian adjectives of similar formation and semantics. Results show that subjects of B2 proficiency level have better receptive knowledge of more frequent noun collocations (80%) than subjects of B1 proficiency level. Answer type analysis shows that subjects of B1 proficiency level chose distractors similar in formation more often, whereas an almost equal percentage of false pairs was chosen by both CSL proficiency levels, but only for collocations of lower frequency.

Languages, particularly less frequently spoken ones and those that could be described as ˝new˝, are confirmed, together with the culture that they promulgate, through the context of otherness, i.e. the prism through which their identities are recognised (and acknowledged) from the outside. Both Croatian and Macedonian can be described as ˝small˝, i.e. less widespread languages and, although Croatian may still be occasionally regarded as a ˝new˝ language in a certain sense, they are both characterised by a pre-standard and standard historicity. The aim of this paper is to present the results of a poll conducted among speakers of Macedonian, i.e. Macedonian students of the ˝Blaže Koneski˝ Faculty who had, at the time of the conduction of the poll, started attending lessons in the elective course Croatian Language 1. The poll encompassed two aspects: the first pertained to issues relating to the Croatian language, the second – in light of the importance of the component of culture both for the acquisition and the selection of a particular language – included questions on Croatian culture. More specifically, the study focused on the students’ motivations for selecting this course, their self-evaluation of their proficiency in Croatian and their basic knowledge or views related to Croatia and the Croatian language, while also gathering students’ associations on Croatia and distinguished Croats and students’ habits relating to the consumption of Croatian media. Finally, their ability of distinguishing between Croatian and Serbian (the latter of which is geographically more proximate to the students) was tested on the example of several sentences. The conclusion was that Macedonian students, owing to their occasional consumption of Croatian media, are largely informed on basic facts pertaining to Croatia, and that their views of Croatia are largely positive, though stereotypical. The students’ knowledge of Croatian is quite good and, although they all agree on Croatian being a distinct language from Serbian, they are unaware of some of the differences between the two, which comes as no surprise. Such positive views most likely had contributed to the students opting for Croatian as their foreign language of choice.

This paper deals with the contrastive approach to teaching Croatian as a second language on the example of analysis of existential constructions. It offers a short overview of the studies on transfer errors from the German language during acquisition of Croatian as a second language, and then analyses existential constructions in these two languages in more detail, comparing them as well. What follows is an analysis of existential constructions with regard to the students’ age or language proficiency. The first group consists of heritage speakers of Croatian language in German speaking countries involved in the program of learning Croatian abroad, while the second group consists of adult learners involved in different programs of learning Croatian as a second language in the Republic of Croatia. Since complex morphosyntactic structures cannot be entirely covered within one teaching lesson, the proposition to cover them in terms of three different levels of command of Croatian as a second language for both age groups has been offered, with the aim of preventing or at least mitigating the negative transfer from the dominant language system to the target language. Attention is being paid not only to the principle of appropriateness to students’ age or language proficiency, but to principles of gradualness and systematicness as well, so the use implicit instruction of existential constructions has been suggested on lower levels, and explicit instruction on higher levels.

Starting from the initial (topical) issue of language diversity and criteria for demarcation of particular languages, this paper analyzes the essence of language, i.e. the essential function of language. On the one hand, the analysis deals with the communicational function of language, which is generally recognized as its fundamental function; on the other hand, however, language is analyzed as a means of social identification, i.e. as a cohesion factor in the foundation and preservation of identity („identitätsstiftende Funktion“). The paper provides arguments that this function is on, more or less, the same level of importance as the communicational function with which it is mostly inseparably connected. Only when both these functions are regarded as equally important, it is possible to understand the logic of differentiation of languages, of language diversity in the world, and of drawing boundaries between languages, even where perfunctory observers may see these languages as identical or only insignificantly distinct.

Madame de Staël or the Necessity of a Second Life: The Theatre. Our contribution proposes an incursion into literary history at the time of the First Wave of French Romanticism. The subject of the investigation is Madame de Staël’s experimental theatre and the dramatic seasons that she organized between 1804 and 1811 in Coppet and Geneva. Our conclusions are twofold: on the aesthetic side, Coppet’s dramatic representations had the role of changing the aesthetic and literary canons of the early 19th century; on the historical side, the Coppet Group is one of the first romantic cenacles whose resounding literary activity was the theatre.

The Relationship between Mother and Child in Staël’s Playwriting. The article aims to analyse the plays of Germaine de Staël Agar dans le désert, Geneviève de Brabant and La Sunamite, considered as serious dramas, brought together in the perspective of the maternal relationship. The maternal archetype follows the form of the mater dolorosa capable of the greatest sacrifices. The child is seen as being inseparable from the mother and is often an innocent victim of human sins. Passionate love as the essential coordinate of romanticism is replaced by maternal love and by the love of God. The plays have a clear moralizing value, but the pathos of declamation and the introspection, characteristic of romanticism, are well visible

Tyranny and Derision in Alexandre Dumas’ Caligula. This paper studies the character of Caligula in Alexandre Dumas’ Caligula (1837) in comparison with the image left by the Roman emperor in ancient literary sources. Dumas highlights a tyrannical regime based on denial and flattery, shows the emperor as a tyrannical lover and mocks aspirations to the divinity of the one who takes himself for Jupiter, but is afraid of thunder, who wants to be the master of the destiny of all, but doesn’t master his own, falling under Messalina’s machinations.

Theatre as an Image of Proust’s Aesthetic. In In Search of Lost Time, theatre holds an important place, especially in the first three volumes. Being part of the frequent activities of society, it gives many occasions to the narrator to express his thoughts about theatre shows. Our aim will be to demonstrate that those thoughts are one of the ways used by Proust to bring out his complex theory about novelistic creation – a theory which shows to what extent art’s aim is to access the essence of things through sensitive experience.

Marcel Proust : The Berma, Actress’ Figure, Motherhood’s Character. La Berma is an actress in Proust’s novel À la recherche du temps perdu. Her main model is Sarah Bernhardt and she has the same beautiful voice, a golden voice. Both of them are famous for their role of Phèdre in Racine’s drama. Theatre represents firstly a family matter and a social challenge. The child discovers theatre outside theatre where he is not allowed to go, that is on posters from the Morris column. And the first approach is semiotic. Theatre is included in narration, through two performances that the hero attends. With them, we have an image of theatre in the 19th century, from a sociological and artistic point of view. In the first one, theatre is considered as a low art and actresses are immoral women. Theatre is a cruel world which leads from glory to death, brings rivalry between actresses. In the latter, theatre is above all a text; Proust is interested in gesture and costume. He is focused on the quality of interpretation in comparison with the role. He shows that interpretation is a real art, which can be compared to painting and music.
