Рецепцията на българската политическа реч от студентите чужденци

Author(s): Vladislav Milanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2020

The article presents the conclusions of a scientific experiment conducted with foreign students at Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”. In extracurricular classes, students observe and analyze the speech of Bulgarian politicians and must prepare a scientifically based commentary on their verbal and nonverbal behavior, comparing it with the political situation (politicians and political speech) in their own countries. The object of scientific analysis in this text are the conclusions related to language aggression in public speech, the dynamics of language processes and in particular the discrepancies between the literary normative complex (which for foreign students is leading and representative) and the trends set by usus as parallel language models. Important markers accompanying political communication such as representation, speech readiness, appropriate uses, and the ability to switch language codes are also considered.

Author(s): Dana BARTOSH,Natalia D. GALSKOVA,Maria Kharlamova,Elena Stoyanova / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2020

The article is devoted to the problem associated with the use of digital means in the field of teaching foreign languages. The purpose of the article is the selection and systematization of educational digital means used in modern linguistic education, the linguodidactic potential of which most fully corresponds to the specifics of the subject “Foreign language” and the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard, as well as the identification of their typological characteristics. The basis for identifying generalized features and linguodidactic capabilities of various e-learning tools was the reliance on systemic and typological approaches using methods: analysis, synthesis, comparison and generalization. Based on the results of the study, digital teaching aids were typologized by the functions they perform in the process of teaching foreign languages and by the nature of these tools themselves. Each typological group included digital means that most fully meet the requirements of standards for the quality of language education and its results. The revealed typological characteristics of the indicated digital means are intended to simplify the teacher's choice of digital means for solving specific educational tasks and to help maximize their specific linguodidactic functions.

Творческа лаборатория „Текстът Георги Марков“

Author(s): Diyana Boeva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2020

In October, 2019, the School Institute of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (StudyBAS) announced a competition for creating small study-research communities (SSRC) within the framework of the program “Education and Science” financed by the Ministry of Education and Science and performed by BAS. The project made by the teacher of Bulgarian Language and Literature, Diyana Boeva from “Geo Milev” Foreign Languages High School – Dobrich, ”Creative laboratory “Georgi Markov as Text” – has been approved among over eighty project proposals from the entire country. This article showcases aspects of the concrete plan of the Laboratory, examines some challenging opportunities for the school students related to the development of their analytical skills so necessary for studying science. Thus, we overcome the stereotype that the literary field is an unattainable abstraction unrelated to science. Four students with their teacher prove that the name Georgi Markov is appropriate not only for a projection of a research community, but is also a way of legitimizing the humanities in times when purposefully or not the STEM education is being regarded in opposition to studia humanitatis.

Нулев и експлициран субект при изучаването на български език като чужд

Author(s): Antonia Radkova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2020

This study aims at exploring the omission/expression of subjects in written and oral texts of students who study Bulgarian as a foreign language in Lisbon University, Portugal. The language combination (Bulgarian and Portuguese) is especially interesting as both languages share the null subject property, therefore, a positive transfer of this structure was expected. The results obtained indicate that positive transfer of null subject is observed only partially compared with corpus data. Hypotheses are proposed as an explanation of this phenomenon. They are based on following principles: linguistic – sentence prototypicality; interface hypothesis; psychological – hesitation; psycholinguistic, psychological and language teaching – overdifferentiation; interference from one nonnative to another nonnative language.

PRIKAZ ITALIJE U UDŽBENIKU "NUOVO MAGARI": NE SAMO "DOLCE VITA"

Author(s): Tijana N. Kukić,Danijela M. Janjić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 69/2019

Nel presente saggio osserviamo Italia come brand. Uno dei primi con- cetti che viene in mente quando si tratta dell’Italia è dolce vita caratterizzato dalla leggerezza della vita, dalla spensieratezza e dal godersi il momento. Abbiamo deciso di analizzare in quale modo l’Italia venga rappresentata nel manuale Nuovo Magari perché esso si distingue dalla maggioranza dei manuali di lingua italiana soprat- tutto per un approccio critico. Nuovo magari, per i livelli C1 e C2, tende a offrire un’immagine imparziale dell’Italia, la quale, come tutti i paesi, attraversa periodi di problemi relativi alla società, e fa scoprire anche aspetti non così positivi o famosi del bel paese, volgendo l’attenzione a diversi realistici e davvero interessanti fenomeni culturali, storici, sociali e linguistici.

СИНЕСТЕЗИЈСКА МЕТАФОРА У СРПСКОЈ КЊИЖЕВНОСТИ ЗА МЛАДЕ

Author(s): Jelena Lj. Spasić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 69/2019

The paper aims to determine the role of synesthetic metaphor in Serbian youth literature. The analysis has been conducted on contemporary Serbian prose and poetry for youth. The approach of the research is qualitative-stylistic, while the primary method used in the study is the linguistic-stylistic one. The focus is on the morphological and semantic analyses of synesthetic metaphor. Synesthetic metaphor is represented as a special linguo-stylistic category that is evaluated primarily from the point of view of the purpose of synesthetic transference. The synesthetic meta- phor, as any other kind of metaphor, communicates complex images and feelings to young readers. It sharpens one’s imagination, represents a specific way of thinking and appeals directly to the senses of young readers.

ПОЕТСКА ТРАНСФОРМАЦИЈА ПРОСТОРНИХ ИЗРАЗА У ЗБИРЦИ УТОПЉЕНЕ ДУШЕ ВЛАДИСЛАВА ПЕТКОВИЋА ДИСА

Author(s): Jelena M. Pavlović Jovanović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 69/2019

The paper examines the poetic transformation of spatial expressions in the poetry collection Drowned Souls by Vladislav Petković Dis. The basis for the analysis was the structuralist point of view that a poetry collection is a unique artistic sign of which spatial expressions represent an integral part. We assumed that the choice and the modification of spatial expressions are determined by the specific perception of space, influenced both by the poetics of the epoch (the view that life is a fall, present in the Serbian poetry before World War I) and the view of life held by the poet himself.

К вопросу о признаках квазисимвола

Author(s): Nadya Cherneva,Grigoriy Valeriyevich Tokarev / Language(s): Russian Issue: 5/2020

The author proceeds from the assumption that a quasi-symbol is a kind of cultural symbol. It is established that the verbal nature of a quasi-symbol determines the specifics of its meaning and functioning. The verbal shell of symbolic meaning is more plastic than the nonverbal one. Quasi-symbols can be used either absolutively, in the form of independent whole-formed units, or non-absolutively as parts of phraseological units and paremias. The definition of a quasi-symbol is carried out by modeling the situation in which it realizes its actional potential. In the cognitive aspect, the quasi-symbol is related to the prototype. It is revealed that the semantics of a quasi-symbol is formed on the basis of connotations of words. The quasi-symbol content plane is open for generating new meanings. The meaning of such a unit is typically abstract, kaleidoscopic, and situation-oriented. It is proved that the quasi-symbol is a kind of constructor and regulator of reality. It is proved that the figurative basis plays a key role in the semantics of a quasi-symbol: it forms a cognitive-semantic platform for the formation of new semantic layers, acts as a means of objectivizing ideas, represents a typical situation, implements the intention of imperativeness, and performs a semiotic function. When forming semantic layers of a quasi-symbol, universal transport models by adjacency and similarity work. The actionality and imperative semantics of a quasi-symbol determine its  energetic potential. It is determined that quasi-symbols are value-oriented: they can be divided into ideologically deterministic and non-deterministic. In the course of the analysis, it was found that the quasisymbol is characterized by the following features: abstract semantics, imagery, kaleidoscopy, situational orientation, imperativeness, precedence, semantic diversity, paradigmatism.
