Dynamika rozwoju gwar słowiańskich w XXI wieku

Author(s): / Language(s): Slovak,Russian,Czech,Polish,Ukrainian

The intensive and rapid civilizational development of the last decades has marked its presence in all areas of life in Europe. The changes to the conditions of life and work as well as effects of globalization have affected the rural environments in particular. This gave rise to the idea of organizing an interdisciplinary conference which would provide an opportunity to discuss the problems of rural areas from the perspective of different approaches, including especially linguistics. An effect of this meeting of linguists, sociologists, museologists and anthropologists is the presented collection of articles which allow for seeing the language change we are observing in a wider context.

Словообразувателни тенденции в развитието на българския книжовен език през Средновексвието. (Кирило-Методиевите традиции в паметници от XIV в.) (= Кирило-Методиевски студии. Кн. 24)

Author(s): Tatyana Mostrova / Language(s): Bulgarian

The monograph treats for the first time the problems of the deverbative nouns in translated and non-translated (original) fourteenth-century texts of medieval Bulgarian literature. The book consists of an introduction, three chapters and three appendices. The Introduction sketches briefly the transformations concerning the normalization and codification of the Bulgarian literary language of the 14th-century, including the problems of word formation as one of the most productive methods of its enrichment. The Introduction also makes a survey of other scholars’ findings about the language of the writers of Tãrnovo, about the compound words in the works of Patriarch Euthimius, as well as particular about word-formational types in his works and in translations from the 14th century. The study takes notice of the existing text critical researches on the Athonite redaction of the liturgical books: Evangelion, Apostolos (Acts and Epistles), Psalter, Triodion and Octoechos. On this basis are marked the perspectives that require a) a thorough systematic study of the word-formational categories and types in original (non-translated) and translated works of the 14th-century; b) a separate study of calquing Greek composita, and c) systematization of the most important word-formational tendencies in works that differ in theme, genre and style and reflect the language phenomena within the context of the codification and normalization of Bulgarian literary language of the 14th-century. The object of this work are the deverbative nouns, which represent one of the most important and well registered word-formational categories and types in the derivative system of the 14th-century Bulgarian literary language. The word-formational units (approximately 2000) are excerpted from seven voluminous translations characteristic for the fourteenth century literary activities: the Service Book (Liturgies) of Patriarch Euthimius, the Vita of St. Gregory Sinaites, the Collective Patericon, the Ladder of Divine Ascent of John Climacus, the Dioptra of Philip Monotropos, the Dialectica of John of Damascus, the Chronicle of Constantine Manasses, as well as from all the works of Patriarch Euthimius: Vitae, Encomia, Epistles, Service to Empress Theophano, the translation of the Liturgy of St. Jacob. In theme and style these works belong to different genres and represent a substantial part of the official liturgical and non-liturgical literature, relevant for Bulgarian medieval heritage of the 14th century. The translated works pertain to the corpus of texts, which were newly translated, or revised, replenished and renovated by the bookmen of Tãrnovo and Mount Athos. Methodologically the work follows the basic principles of functional and structural understanding of the word-formational analysis that were theoretically developed by M. Dokulil and elaborated in Czech linguistics. The author emphasizes on the fact that the basic theoretical ideas, used here, are particularly appropriate for the definition of the word-formational types and categories in the study of the works from the 14th-century. The study combines the synchronic functional and structural analysis with diachronic comparisons between the derivational categories and types in the sources from the Old Bulgarian period (9–11th centuries) and in the 14th-century literary language. The results are presented in tables. The deverbative nouns are distributed in four categories according to the onomastological and morphological motivation of their bases: Nomina agentis, Nomina actionis et resultativa, Nomina instrumenti, and Nomina loci. These categories are valid both for the monoradical and the compound formations. Composita are analyzed separately because of their specifics (in Chapter II) together with their Greek equivalents. Chapter I “Monoradical derivatives” and Chapter II “Composita” are constructed according to the same compositional scheme. The data is analyzed by derivational categories and within each category a classification is made of the word-formational types belonging to it. Within each group the productive types are displayed first, and then the less productive and the nonproductive ones. The conversional formations are given separately at the end. The data analysis takes into consideration the fact that a large number of the lexical and derivational units were coined in the process of translation. That is why Greek equivalents are given, if necessary, as well as variant readings from other copies of the translated works are provided. In these cases, aside from the individual word-formational meaning of the derivatives, some metaphorical uses are studied, which are related to certain context or to the translation of names. Attention is paid also to terminologically distinct derivatives, as well as to lexemes with specialized meaning. For the compound words a modified and specified scheme is proposed for the classification of the calqued compound nouns in order to better reflect the specifics of this class of lexemes. For all word-formational categories and types, a comparison is made with the data in the manuscripts from the Old Bulgarian period. Nineteen comparative tables are given, based on the data of the existing in scholarship reverse dictionaries. Comparative material is given from the original and translated works that emerged in Preslav, as well as from the works of Clement of Ohrid; the material is extracted for this purpose from 56 dictionaries and indexes. For each word-formational type the study specifies the derivatives that are not registered in the lexicographical repertories. Chapter III “Functional characteristic of the word-formational categories and word-formational types in the 14th-century sources examined” includes a characteristic of the word-formational types in works from the14th-century, which are different in theme, genre and style. This aspect was missing until now from studies of word formation, dedicated to separate periods in the history of Bulgarian literary language. The original and the translated works from the 14th-century are presented in a classification scheme with two major categories: official liturgical literature and official non-liturgical literature, with their specific subsections. The functional characteristic is related to the genre. It reflects the connection and the mutual dependence between pure word-formational processes and the stylistic peculiarities of the literary monuments, belonging to a certain genre category. It is of great importance, when defining the significance of particular word-formational types as elements of style for a given work, that one should take into consideration the extent of their productivity. The word-formational types with highest quantitative indicators receive additional stylistic marking and become characteristics of the literary style and the literary norm at the word-formational level. The Conclusion emphasizes the fact that the basic word-formational categories, which are characteristic for the Old Bulgarian literary language from the time of creation of the first Cyrillo-Methodian translations, are also kept during the14th-century, no matter of the genre and thematic diversity of the texts studied. A continuity is testified between the older tradition and the Middle Bulgarian literary language, in the matter of the word-formational level as well as on other levels. The study ascertains that, in regard to the composita, the degree of calquing and the use and distribution of the Slavonic types is directly related to the bookmen’s attitude to the original Greek text. The redistribution of the word-formational types is shown by genre and thematic marking, and not at the last place, by a stylistic one. The results of the research done give us the reason to make the following conclusions: 1. The Middle Bulgarian texts examined here manifest unity regarding the word-formational categories and the basic word-formational types. The word-formational type with highest productivity is the one with the suffix -ние. This type includes the half (1005 cases) of the excerpted over 2000 derivatives within the four word-formational categories. 2. Compared to the classical Old Bulgarian literary monuments, considerably increases the derivative potential of the word-formational type with suffix -тель both for the simplexes and for the compound nouns. Within the type most productive is the extended variant -итель. Also increases the activity of the extended variant -атель (-ятель). For both word-formational subtypes increases the number of derivatives, motivated by prefixed verbs, which are excerpted from literary works from the 14th-century and are not attested in the “canonical” Old Bulgarian manuscripts. 3. The word-formational type with suffix -тель absorbs some of the functions of suffix -ьникъ; the latter decreases its productivity more than twice. 4. In compound words, likewise in Old Bulgarian manuscripts, continues to dominate the word-formational type with suffix -ьць (it appears in 88 lexemes) while it is rarer in simplexes (28); for the compounds this type takes the third place for productivity after those with the suffixes -тель and -ьникъ. 5. The high frequency of the derivatives with suffixes -ние and -тель in the literary production of the fourteenth century can be interpreted as an indicator for their appurtenance to the word-formational norm of the Bulgarian literary language of the 14th-century. These most frequently used suffixes are connected with the literary style of the epoch – плетение словесъ, “word-weaving”, and therefore are stylistically marked. The Appendices include: 1. Alphabetical list of the excerpted deverbative nouns and their distribution by literary monuments; 2. Slavic-Greek and Greek-Slavic register of the composita; 3. Reverse dictionary (Index a tergo).

Imagologia – pamięć zbiorowa – umysł i kultura

Author(s): Aleksandra Niewiara / Language(s): Polish

The book touches on themes from the area which has been termed as ethnolinguistic imagology. It undertakes a discussion over the nature of collective conceptions of nations (a term coined by a Polish forerunner of imagological research, J.S Bystroń) as cultural conceptualizations, located in individual minds, where – accordingly to the connectionist model – they are simultaneously processed within a connected network of concepts as data collected within, while the problem of their verbal and visual nature is one of the most important subjects of the discussion. The book also considers the issues of evolution, inheritance in culture and attempts to address the workings of the collective memory, including collective remembering and forgetting (thus entering the area of humanist memorology). The dependence of collective conceptions of nations on the environment is demonstrated, and in particular, on political, economic and social experience of community, which leads towards a discussion on the subject of collective identity. The theoretical conclusions are derived from an analysis of the data collected as a result of over 20 year research conducted in the following stages: 1990, 1994, 2012 (fundamental research), 2016, 2017 (supplementary research) in form of associative tests set up to acquire verbal data (on the subject of six nationalities: English, Czech, French, German, Polish, Russian) and visual data (on the subject of sixteen nationalities: American, English, Chinese, French, Spanish, German, Polish, Russian, Scottish, Swedish, Tatar, Turkish, Ukrainian, Cosssack, Italian, Jewish).In the first chapter, entitled Conceptions of nations in the light of cognitive studies on culture, theoretical grounds for the methodology presented in the work are set. The history of European studies on imagology is presented, with a particular attention being paid to the research concerning Slavic cultures. Characterized are the main themes of the ten year discussion over culture as a cognitive phenomenon and theoretical foundations are laid out for own conception, where the imagological perspective attempts to demonstrate the dynamics of the process of conceptualizing other nations, with the presupposition that a given culture’s knowledge is not fixed but undergoes modifications within the frames of the evolution of the entire culture. Relating to appropriate conceptions of the mind, i.e. the connectionist model and the vision of the embodied mind, and also own research concerning the evolution of Polish conceptions of nations over several hundred years, the structure of the cognitive network of conceptions of nation is demonstrated, which originates from grouping ideas into clusters, which are connected with closer and more remote relations and are at the same time some part of a conceptual network of a given culture.In the second chapter, entitled Research and conclusions, basic information about the researched population, the conditions and circumstances of the research and the research methodology is given. The chapter indicates a possibility of evaluation of changes or continuity of cultural conceptions which occur in minds of two successive biological generations at moments important for the community: during the first stage of the Polish system transformation and the so-called breakthrough of 1989/1990 and the second stage during the Euro 1012 soccer championships held in Poland. The specificity of research and the results of association tests, including a test of own design where the task consisted of drawing a person of a given nationality in response to a stimulus were characterized. The principles of correlating the results of verbal and pictorial questionnaires were discussed and presented in form of tables, where the ordering of data reflects the grouping of concepts from the appropriate cognitive domains into clusters of the conceptual network in the human mind (1. Initial taxonomy, 2. Place. Territory, 3. Language. Speech, 4.a. Appearance. Physical qualities, 4b. Appearance. Clothing and armament, 5. Emotions, 6.a. Behaviour in a group. Manners, 6.b. Character and personality, 6.c. Temperament, 6.d. Intellect, 6.e. Ethics, 4.c. Money. Wealth, 8.a. Food, drink, stimulants, 8.b. Artifacts. Technology, 8.c. Culture, 8.d. Sports, 9. Current politics and historical events). The purpose of this part is a presentation of the thematic content of particularconceptions of nations and an indication of some of the trends in their evolution.In chapter three, entitled Discussion, observations which stem from the comparative analysis of results were presented. The part Cognitive domains in construing conceptualizations of nations discusses the processing of data concerning the nations within individual clusters that group concepts from appropriate domains. This allowed for noticing related transformations within the whole network of cultural conceptualizations particular to a researched group, for instance an improvement in conceptualizing a German being parallel with a simultaneous deterioration in conceptualizing Russians or Americans. The symptoms are apparent in the change of clarity of concepts group in individual clusters and which can easily be diagnosed based on the number of associations and reactions to a stimulus. In the part A picture or a word? Conceptions of nations as cognitive representations, the comparison of data from the verbal and pictorial questionnaires demonstrated certain differences in the intensity and quality of processing information (linear or parallel) on the subject of appearance, psyche and emotions, social attitudes; it revealed the fact that pictorial data more quickly register the changes in consciousness of a given group (e.g. concerning the sense of identity and self-stereotype, or the recordings of the most current information in the supplementary research from 2016 and 2017), while verbal ones are more traditional and slower in reflecting the changes. The mutual influence of both codes was also noticed, when a word inspires the design of the picture, e.g. through a suggested association with a strongly rooted phraseology. In parts entitled Memory and identity. Continuity and change – inheritance, the results were compared from the perspective of changes concerning collective memory and reflections were presented over cultural inheritance in cross-generation transmission in a given group, including a broader perspective of Polish culture in its historical development and wide territorial reach. The conclusions concern a gradual decrease in the number of historical associations in successive stages of research, the reduction of elements of cultural and communicative memory, which indicates, among others, a certain cultural evolution which occurred in the studied period and which consists of both the transmission of selected unchanged cultural conceptualizations, and modifications, or even mutations of others (in the process of cultural inheritance). Due to the dependence of these changes on political and economic transformations, both in the local and global environment, we can speak of capturing a certain stage in the evolution of Polish culture in its researched fragment.

Words, Meanings and Discourses Religious Ideological Assumptions in Same-Sex Marriage Parliamentary Debates

Author(s): Mihaela Duma / Language(s): English

Based on my PhD thesis defended in 2014 at Babeş-Bolyai University Cluj-Napoca, Romania, "Words, Meanings and Discourses. Religious Ideologial Assumptions in Same-Sex Marriage Parliamentary Debates" aims to capture a balanced perspective on the hierarchical structure of language and, most importantly, to identify and highlight some of the multifarious and subtle processes along which meaning is created. Embacing the hypothesis that meaning is an act of creation, an event rather than an immovable, inherent property of words (Hanks 2000, Sinclair 2004), I have investigated the parliamentary discourses constructed on the Marriage (Same-Sex Couples) Bill enactment in the UK, in 2013. Unlike other relevant linguistic studies that exclusively approach the topic of homosexuality by accounting for the ways in which homosexual identity is discursively structured, the present survey addresses this sensitive matter at several levels. Having as a main purpose to identify and account for the religious ideological assumptions that underlie and are more or less overtly articulated in such discourses, my empirical research relies on a less typical analytical framework, one that combines corpus linguistics (CL) investigation tools with critical discourse analysis (CDA) methods. Hence, while exploring such discourses, I have come to seize subtle social attitudes and behaviours which, are able to point towards a fierce renegotiation of power position between, on the one hand, religion and all the traditional values it stands for and, on the other hand, the new, ever more visible, and vocal identity marker recognized as homosexuality.

Konstrukcje i destrukcje tożsamości

Author(s): / Language(s): Russian,Polish

The volume brings together papers devoted to the constructions and destructions of identity that resulted from the changing of borders – both the old ones, long established and sometimes forgotten, and the new, recently drawn-up ones. Taking up this topic was inspired by fieldwork conducted by linguists, anthropologists and historians, who clearly indicate that formally long inexistent borders continue to live in the consciousness of the communities that neighbour them, and continue to find reflection in linguistic and cultural phenomena. Such formulation of the topic requires an interdisciplinary approach, which is why the volume features papers by scholars representing multiple disciplines.

Słowotwórstwo w przestrzeni komunikacyjnej

Author(s): / Language(s): Croatian,Russian,Czech,Polish,Sorbian languages,Slovenian,Ukrainian,Serbian,Belarusian

This monograph is a product of the 20th International Conference of the Commission on Word Formation of the International Committee of Slavists. Entitled “Word Formation in the Communicative Space”, the conference was held in Warsaw on 8–10 September 2020 by the Institute of Slavic Studies, Polish Academy of Sciences, with the proceedings taking place online. The participants were 29 word formation scholars from academic centres in Austria, Belarus, Bosnia, Croatia, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine. This testifies to the topicality of the proposed subject matter and a considerable interest enjoyed by Slavic and Slavist word formation. This volume brings together most of the presentations sent in by the participants. The subjects touched upon in the volume correspond to the theme of the conference, focusing on a number of topical issues related to both the present and the past, the most important of which include: word-formative innovations, types of and changes in mechanisms of neologism generation, the phenomenon of linguistic globalisation, and pragmatic aspects of language. The volume’s rich and diverse subject matter is unified by the adoption of a communicational perspective.

Mowa nienawiści ze względu na przynależność etniczną i narodową w komunikacji internetowej

Author(s): Magdalena Jaszczyk-Grzyb / Language(s): Polish

The present monograph investigates online language production which includes hate speech (henceforth HS) motivated by the ethnic or national identity of its addressee (operationalised as ethnically and nationally motivated HS) in Polish and German Internet-based communication. The hate discourse examined in the monograph concerns four groups (Muslims, Roma, Ukrainians and Jews). To achieve this goal, a methodology combining the assumptions of critical discourse analysis and corpus linguistics was developed. First a comparable corpus of ethnically and nationally motivated hate speech in Polish and German Internet communication was compiled, including public posts and comments posted on the social network Facebook. A total of 1185 posts was analysed, including several thousand comments posted from 2018–2019 and January 2020. In the course of a qualitative analysis, hateful discursive practices towards particular minority groups were identified and presented in a comparative view. This was followed by an analysis of frequency lists, keyword lists, collocations and concordanc
