Българският език като обект на законодателни инициативи в началото на XXI в.

Author(s): Vladislav Marinov,Krasimira Vasileva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2022

The present study is the first one that aims to present a comparative analysis of the bills for the use of the Bulgarian language introduced in the Parliament since 2004. The conclusion reached as a result of the comparative analysis is that the texts of the bills have quite a lot in common rather than having differences in terms of both the main ideological positions and the weak points that prevented the adoption of such a law over the years. In addition to this, the conclusions impose the idea that a qualitatively new approach is needed in the drafting of the normative act– the law on the Bulgarian language should regulate a unified state language policy to protect the language as the basis of national identity and thus to encourage the development of education, science and culture in the Republic of Bulgaria.

On Bulgarian Dali-Questions and the Relation to the Subjunctive Mood

Author(s): Margarita Dimitrova / Language(s): English Issue: 5/2022

The subjunctive mood has been widely discussed from the perspective its selection in complements of volitional, directive and emotive-factive predicates (Picallo 1984, Raposo 1985, Ambar 1988, a.o.). Subjunctive questions and other type of subjunctive main clauses, on the other hand, have not been subject to much systematic research. Some works (Ambar 2016, Giannakidou 2016) suggest that, in main clauses, the selection of the subjunctive mood codifies the expression of the speaker’s evaluations. In line with this view, we discuss the syntactic expression of the Bulgarian dali-questions which do not consist in true requests for information but rather display a flavour of wondering encoded in the occurrence of dali and its morphological make up combining the subjunctive particle da and the interrogative particle li. Considering the properties of the Balkan subjunctive particles, we discuss the syntactic expression of Bulgarian dali-questions building on previous analyses of Bulgarian yes-no questions (Dimitrova 2020).

Сближаване и раздалечаване на балканските народи и техните езици

Author(s): Ilya Zlatanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2022

The article examines the interaction of the Balkan peoples in the composition of multinational empires. Widespread multilingualism and frequent switching from one language to another eventually led to the formation of the Balkan Linguistic Union. With the rise of national consciousness in the 19th century and the change of political configuration, the process of convergence of the Balkan languages was interrupted. Moreover, individual regional dialects of some languages, once united by a common name, took on a life of their own. But there is also a reverse process, languages artificially separated for political reasons are regaining their former integrity.

Author(s): Lyudmila Voronina,Sergey Letun,Evgenia Rozenfeld / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2023

Rapid changes in the digital age making e-textbooks the key technical aid among electronic media are getting actively applied in education. A more specific image of the contemporary foreign language e-textbook is shaped by adding new characteristics to the list of the basic characteristics required. The article deals with determination of those characteristics of e-textbooks that will make their use more in demand for the study of languages, including Korean. The purpose of the article is to determine the main characteristics of a foreign language e-textbook as well as to analyze how they will reflect the specifics of the language in question and how exactly they will manifest themselves. The analytical study of e-textbook prototypes developed both practically and theoretically on the basis of criteria set for e-textbooks, the software being used and the research experience let the authors identify the mandatory minimum characteristics required for the foreign language e-textbook and compile the scheme for the distribution of the characteristics into groups. The results showed that the main requirement of a cross-cutting, primary nature for the entire set of e-textbooks under consideration is hyperconnectivity. The study allowed identifying linguodidactic and technological components of foreign language e-textbooks, as well as those of the Korean language e-textbook (a multimodal interactive dictionary) specifically, which are in a hyperconnected relationship with each other. Their introduction and implementation into specific software, a linguodidactic web constructor, will contribute to development of more sophisticated e-textbooks to be of high demand both among learners and teachers.

Speech Culture as a Component of Human Language Culture

Author(s): Gulnur Ahmadova / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

The article contains an analysis of the normative, communicative and ethical aspects of the culture of speech, which make up the modern concept of the phenomenon under consideration. According to the author’s definition, the culture of speech, along with the culture of reading, the culture of working with text, information culture, constitutes the structure of the individual’s language culture. Considering the problem of classifying the styles of the English language, the author considers it appropriate to derive the constructs ‘language of fiction’ and ‘colloquial speech’ from the list of styles of the English language, identifying them as functional varieties of the language. In addition, taking into account the realities of modern society, the author proposes to expand the range of functions of speech communication through the function of forming one’s own image, the educational function, the function of adaptation to the conditions of speech interaction in the virtual world, etc.

Лингводидактологически симулации в часовете по чужд език

Author(s): Mihal Pavlov,Milena Yordanova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 6/2023

In this article, the object of interest is the linguodidactological simulations in the process of learning a foreign language. In the context of the leading modern trends in the field of research in private linguodidactology, an attempt is made to outline the figure of the foreign language teacher as a “methodical screenwriter” and the tasks he performs to optimize the mastery of communicative competence through the perspective of linguodidactology simulations. The methodology used is analysis of sources, observation of positive practices and modeling of techniques for transposition of a linguistic-communicative fragment of reality in the learning process of a foreign language. Based on an analysis of achievements in the field of theory and practice of interactive foreign language learning, guidelines are formulated for the development of various types of simulation activities for mastering the studied language, in which the learner acquires a leading role in the learning process. A model for a widely applicable linguistic didactic simulation in the conditions of active foreign language learning is proposed and the main activities that should be performed to achieve positive results from its application in the learning process are outlined.

The Just-In-Time Approach Applied to E-Language Learning

Author(s): Cristina Sáiz Enfedaque,Antonio Martinez de Baños Carrillo / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2024

From industry to teaching, being competent implies knowing how to do things in a complex, adaptable, and reflective way in a variety of contexts. It involves the integration of knowledge, procedures, attitudes, and values whose mastery and application change throughout life. Besides this idea of being adaptable, we want to add the “just-in-time approach” (JIT approach), which had a boom during the pandemic of COVID-19 and which focused on providing learners with the language skills and knowledge they needed at the precise moment they required to accomplish a specific task or communicate effectively in real-life situations. Unfortunately, it also proved that a generation gap existed between 20-year-old students and their teachers of older generations. Current officer cadets have not lived without mobile phones or the Internet which drastically have changed the way we communicate and had a significant impact on our lives. New technologies made communication more accessible and convenient with beloved ones, colleagues, and the conduct of business operations. Networking was not only advisable but a must and the pandemic proved how useful online teaching was and how well-adapted our cadets were. New technologies made it possible to access the Internet from anywhere, providing instant access to information, entertainment, and services.

CLOSENESS. INTERPRETATIVE POSITIONINGS ON THE IMMINENT IMPOSITIONS IN REPORTING TOWARDS THE SACRED

Author(s): Alexandru-Ioan Cânda / Language(s): English Issue: 40/2025

Through constantly-surprising breakthrough into the numinous space, the religious man follows his path towards the full experience of the sacred, thus positioning himself in a state of anticipation of the encounter with the numinous – therefore in a closeness toward the numinous as the Other. This closeness toward an imminence will in turn impose an interpretive reporting on both the context and the Other – therefore a positioning through an enunciation with the intention of preparing an understanding of these states. However, preparing this enunciation related to the future encounter with the numinous does not only mean building a space, but also orientation towards a sense. By orientation towards sense, it becomes necessary to build a statement that follows a dynamic composition of signs and senses through which the positioning – of oneself and towards the Other – becomes an enunciation with meaning.

THE LATIN-ROMANCE DIRECTION AND THE MODERNIZATION OF THE ROMANIAN LITERARY LANGUAGE IN THE 19TH CENTURY

Author(s): Alina-Georgiana Popescu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 40/2025

The Latin-Romance direction and the modernization of the Romanian literary language in the 19th century are two essential aspects in the development of modern Romanian, reflecting both external influences and the need for modernization and standardization of the national language. The Latin-Romance direction was a cultural and linguistic movement that promoted a return to the Latin origins of the Romanian language, in the context of the development of national consciousness and Romanian cultural identity. This movement was supported by the intellectual and political elites of the time, who viewed Latinity as a foundation of Romanian national culture and as a link to Western Europe. The modernization of the language also involved the adoption of neological borrowings, with French being the most influential language in this process, mainly due to the cultural and political prestige of France during this period. Due to its cultural proximity and shared Latinity, Italian was another important source of borrowings, particularly in the fields of arts and literature.

THE MODERNISATION OF ROMANIAN GASTRONOMIC CULTURE IN THE 19TH CENTURY. CAȘCAVAL AND PARMEZAN: TWO GASTRONOMIC TERMS OF ITALIAN ORIGIN

Author(s): Dana Claudia Ciultă / Language(s): Italian Issue: 40/2025

In the evolution of Romanian civilization, the topic of gastronomy is not of particular interest among intellectuals, but, as Eugen Simion noted, writers – such as Costache Negruzzi and Mihail Kogălniceanu – were among the ones to ”display some sensitivity to what is called the gourmet discourse.” In this context, it is worth mentioning that Costache Negruzzi’s library included ”The Physiology of Taste”, written by Brillat – Savarin, whom Honoré de Balzac considered one of the great prose writers. Although gastronomy was not a fundamental dimension of his work, Kogălniceanu’s sensitivity to gastronomy is evident in many of his writings – elements of culinary art were incorporated both into his own lifestyle and the lives of his characters – and throughout his correspondence. In doing so, Kogălniceanu not only shaped the historical physiognomy of his era but also highlighted the refinement and good taste of certain social classes in mid-19th century Moldova.
