WARIANTYWNOŚĆ TERMINOLOGICZNA WE WŁOSKIM DYSKURSIE DZIENNIKARSKO-SPORTOWYM NA PODSTAWIE DZIENNIKA „LA GAZZETTA DELLO SPORT”

Author(s): Anna Godzich,Szymon Machowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 8/2024

The article aims at showing the terminological variability of Italian soccer vocabulary based on a corpus of terms that belong to the lexical field of human food. They have been excerpted from the 2022 and 2023 Internet editions of the most widely read Italian sport magazine La Gazzetta dello Sport. The research will be conducted with reference to a terminological sphere defined as a terminological subsystem consisting on average of several or a dozen or so lexicons bound by direct semantic relationships. As part of the research, each terminological variant will be discussed with regard to appurtenance conditions that it needs to fulfill in order to be included in the Italian soccer language. As regards Italian soccer phraseologisms, they might be analyzed as language utterances and simultaneously considered to be terms, i.e. units of terminology as they are widely accepted by language users as terms existing in various specialized activity domains in the form of words or word groups. At the same time, these terms represent a professiolect defined as a technolect. This is all accompanied by various types of methodology applied to the description of Italian multiword idiomatic expressions by reconstructing their grammatical, lexical or logico-conceptual structure and analyzing their functioning as language units inherent in the language process.

Author(s): Aleksandra Żłobińska-Nowak / Language(s): French Issue: 8/2024

The article is intended to be an analysis of the Greek denominations of the body – ἡ σάρξ and τὸ σῶμα adopted in the New Testament. The author studies its subtleties of meaning by emphasizing their semantic extensions in relation to their prototypical meaning throughout all their New Testament uses. The analysis also focuses on an examination of French biblical translations of the studied forms, their understanding, including the motivation of their use in the context, their specificities and the semantic features which add to their overall interpretation.

Balzac’s Views on Meaning of Music and in Music

Author(s): Małgorzata Gamrat / Language(s): English Issue: 12S/2024

This paper aims to demonstrate how music and its signification have been interpreted in literary works. Two texts by Balzac will be used as examples. They interpret meaning in music and present the mechanisms by which individual significance becomes attached to musical works. In the novel La Duchesse de Langeais, the author carefully reconstructs the process of connections arising between music, emotions, and memories, which turns a musical work into a memory sign in the minds and lives of individuals. In the short story Massimilla Doni Balzac analyses the score of Rossini’s Mosè in Egitto (1818)—elements such as instrument and musical key symbolism as well as the music’s impact on listeners. Both literary works present music as an aspect of human communication, consisting of signs, symbols, and codes that support verbal senses or operate beyond the limits of what words can convey.This paper aims to demonstrate how music and its signification have been interpreted in literary works.

Мова творів українського барокового письменника Григорія Сковороди

Author(s): Natalia Levchenko / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 11/2024

A crucial role in the process of reviving Ukrainian identity is played by the Ukrainian language, which in the conditions of war serves not only as a mark of the own/alien, but also weighs a lot as a kind of intellectual weapon. For centuries, the Russian Empire had been appropriating the civilizational, scientific, and cultural achievements of the Ukrainian people; in return, it imposed on them a complex of inferiority, encouraged them to mankurtism. A significant part of the population of Ukraine succumbed to Russian manipulations and renounced their native language in favour of Russian. The tolerant attitude of the Ukrainian citizens towards the dominance of the Russian language in Ukraine became one of the hundreds of reasons for the present Russia–Ukraine war, which has been taking the lives of many thousands of defenders of Ukraine, as well as the lives of many thousands of its civilian residents, for the tenth year now. The time has come to defend everything that is Ukrainian from the grasping hands of the Rashists. The Ukrainian nation has preserved its native language and literature in spite of all the bad weather and winds of history, developed it to match the world’s artistic peaks. Ukrainian literature desperately needs a modern, objective reading of works of art without ideological layers, restoration of the fair facts of writers’ biographies, freedom from the toxicity of Russian propaganda, under the influence of which even well-known philological scholars – not only in Ukraine, but also in emigration – fell under the influence. As an example, it would be appropriate to recall the debate on the language of Hryhorii Skovoroda’s works, which lasted for more than two centuries due to the fact that Russian scientific circles labelled the work of the outstanding Ukrainian humanist as Russian. The debate ended with the conclusions of Professor Leonid Ushkalov as late as in the 21st century. Restored by L. Ushkalov, the authenticity of the texts of the works of Hryhorii Skovoroda made it possible to eliminate the mistakes made by the scribes and free the thinker’s works from Russification layers, returning him to the bosom of the Ukrainian literary baroque. L. Ushkalov proved the predominant percentage of Ukrainian language works of H. Skovoroda using the data of statistical calculations. The examples given by L. Ushkalov from the works of H. Skovoroda testify that such lexical, phonetic, grammatical categories are quite naturally used in the Ukrainian language and are completely absent in the Russian language. The lingua mixta of Hryhorii Skovoroda’s works consisted of Ukrainian, Church Slavonic, and Latin vocabulary, which was characteristic of Ukrainian baroque literature. This proves that Hryhorii Skovoroda’s work belongs to Ukrainian literature.

„...За межами можливого”: таборовий наратив Василя Стуса крізь призму філософії надії Ґабріеля Марселя

Author(s): Lyudmyla Tarnashynska / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 11/2024

The article examines the camp narrative of Vasyl Stus through the philosophy of hope of a classic of French existentialism, Gabriel Marcel. Turning to ego documents, the discourse of the dissident poet’s confrontation shall be analysed, firstly, against the totalitarian regime of the former USSR and, secondly, against the very circumstances of his detention in the camp which befell him. Self-esteem, insubordination, constant introspection, self-sufficiency with optimism in spite of cruel ordeals – this is how V. Stus appears before us. Within the “imprisoned space” with its numerous prohibitions and punishments, the poet not only cherishes his Muse, saving himself by translations, writing a diary, letters and poems, but also develops – despite a deep sense of fate – a philosophy of hope, consonant with the phenomenology and metaphysics of Marcel. The poet was aware that the road was paved for him as “Golgotha sent by God”, along which he had to walk (straightened) “through a hundred despairs”, so he sincerely admitted: “My path hurts”. These concepts – path and pain, as well as the constant appeal to the one hundred number as an attempt to multiply his strength a hundredfold in a difficult struggle, permeate both his poetry and ego-documents.

Obličje i naličje esejističkog diskursa Jasmine Musabegović

Author(s): Ena Begović-Sokolija / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 25/2024

The paper analyses the essayistic discourse of Jasmina Musabegović with a focus on her second and last book of such procédé, Naličje historije (The Reverse Side of History) (1999), without neglecting her early essayistic work compiled in her first book of essays, The Secret and the Meaning of a Literary Work (1977). Since the literary criticism and essayistic work of this author, on the one hand, and her literary and artistic work, on the other, are closely related and interwoven with seemingly contradictory but identical ideologemes, for a more complete insight, her micro-essays that make up fabric of her novels are occasionally taken into consideration in the analysis. The conclusion reached shows that the author’s later literary critique essays, i.e. those that the author wrote during and after the recent war, where the intimate intertwines with the universal and meets a multitude of opposing pairs as well as occasional paroxysms conditioned by a change in life experience, represent a specific, fluid essayistic discourse that can be characterized by the newly coined phrase “women’s essay”.

Metodički pristup romanu Skretnice u komunikacijskom kontekstu

Author(s): Edina Murtić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 25/2024

This paper will problematize a teaching methodological approach to the novel Skretnice, in which the students’ communication competencies are put in the foreground. This paper tries to show how interpretation still occupies a special position in the modern teaching methodology of teaching literature by connecting the modern teaching methodological models and students’ needs. In the process of the teaching methodological processing of the novel Skretnice by Jasmina Musabegović, we try to combine the elements of various methodical approaches: interpretation, a problematic, open teaching methodological approach. The goal is to elaborate a reading strategy and development of language skills/competencies: reading, speaking, listening and writing. The novel will be set as a literary template in the function of developing fundamental students’ competencies, in which a teaching methodological interpretation of the novel will be further developed. We will direct the students’ activities towards independent reading, research and writing about the topics and problems raised by the novel and its openness for cross-subject correlations.

Čulnost i intermedijalnost kao stilske dominante u djelima Jasmine Musabegović

Author(s): Marina Katnić-Bakaršić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 25/2024

This paper explores the two key features of Jasminina Musabegović's style – sensuousness and intermediality. These two features can be regarded as stylistic dominants in the works of this writer, essayist, critic, and editor, where orientation on language is always strongly present. Intermediality is in some cases realized as ekphrasis (verbal representation of a visual work of art, i.e. a painting, photograph, piece of architecture), whereas in other cases verbal devices create filmicity. so that some of the scenes in her novels look like movie frames. It is argued that there exists unity of style in all works of this author, whereby her novels contain elements of essays and other genres, and lyricism and sensuousness occupy a central place in all her texts.

Antologija Jasmine Musabegović u okvirima historijata bilježenja i motivskog registra bošnjačke uspavanke

Author(s): Nirha Efendić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 25/2024

The Bosnian and Bosniak writer Jasmina Musabegović (1941-2023) is known to the cultural public of Bosnia and Herzegovina for her novels, essays, and translations from the French language. It is less known, however, that a small collection of lullabies in the Bosnian language is also attributed to Musabegović's research and writing work. The aforementioned collection was published by BZK „Preporod“(Bosniaks' Cultural Society „Preporod“) in 1997 in Sarajevo, with the editorial supervision of literary historian and folklorist Munib Maglajlić. In this paper, the aforementioned collection of writer Jasmina Musabegović will be presented through a thematic analysis of selected poems on a literary-poetic level, and then it will go into the broader context of the overall work of the collected folk lullabies among the Bosniaks so far. The most frequent themes and motifs also will be reviewed within the entire corpus related to that material. With this approach, we tried to draw attention to Musabegović's cultural contribution, which, apart from her literary work, was also reflected in her collection of folk wisdom.

Womanhood and Democratic Household in Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women

Author(s): Nataša V. Ninčetović / Language(s): English Issue: 25/2024

This paper deals with the issues of womanhood and democratic household in Little Women, a novel by Louisa May Alcott. The theoretical framework for the research is Barbara Welter’s classic essay on the concept of “true” womanhood in Victorian America. By analyzing the four cardinal traits of proper womanhood as reflected in the novel, the conclusion emerges that Meg, Beth, Jo, and Amy’s growing into womanhood simultaneously confirms the limitation of women’s potential in Victorian America and testifies to the struggle for actualization. The development of the four girls is under the indisputable influence of both the gender discourses that prevail in society and the progressive views of their mother. However, since each girl interprets these visions differently and adapts them to their various personalities, their paths to womanhood are unique. Finally, the paper aims to demonstrate that the March sisters attempt to strike a balance between actualization and adaption to the needs of the family, two equally important, but opposing aspirations. In conclusion, the actualization of the March girls, initially jeopardized by the limitations of patriarchal culture, is further complicated by their desire to remain true to their family’s (mother’s) teaching, which is especially emphasized during Amy and Jo’s attempts to realize their artistic ambitions.

Reshaping Mystical Geometry of ”Vision and Prayer” by Dylan Thomas as Its Possible Re-Interpretation

Author(s): Srebrenka Mačković / Language(s): English Issue: 25/2024

Although Dylan Thomas and his poem ”Vision and Prayer” (1944) are usually not attributed to a specific kind of visual/concrete or ”shaped poetry,” his highly enigmatic and daring poetical articulation displays some interesting typographical features that can qualify him to be included in the label. It is a unique experiment of a kind mainly because of its two distinct geometric shapes, i.e. diamond and hourglass, within the two equal Parts, with six stanzas in each one of them. These shapes create a kind of “mystical geometry,” since they differ both in their pictorial presentation and the content matter. The paper tried to follow various attempts in English literature that might have served as a source of inspiration for Thomas in the works of George Herbert, Sir Thomas Browne, and W.B. Yeats. It also presents previous critical interpretations that revolved mainly around the themes of birth, death, and re-birth Resurrection of Jesus Christ, since religious imagery and poetic language seem to invite such an approach (Tindall, Burdette, Kidder, Bauer). However, a combination of Derridean deconstruction/restructuring and computer-assisted pictorial manipulation of the text produced yet an interesting experiment in analysis, having brought together all the stanzas into a ‘grand diamond’ shape. The newly reshaped version of the ‘poem’ opened up possibilities for interpretation while pointing out the central geometric shapes that emerged in the process.

Literary Geography and the Native American Urban Imaginary in Tommy Orange's There There

Author(s): Adisa Ahmetspahić / Language(s): English Issue: 25/2024

Ever since Tommy Orange’s novel There There was published in 2018, Native American urban experience has been pointed out as the novel’s crux. The characters in the novel are Native American but most of them feel estranged from the community since they do not live on reservations, whereby the general implication is that reservations have become ossified as identity markers for many Native Americans. This paper aims to analyze how the novel’s characters use urban areas to create spaces of belonging, thus debunking the myth of the “reservation Indian”. Aided by Edward Soja’s theories on Thirdspace and Robert Tally’s theory of topophrenia, the paper discusses regional powwows, non-profit organizations, American Indian cultural centers, and digital storytelling/narrativization as specific examples of the subject’s awareness of space, their engagement and inscription into space through the practices mentioned above.

РОМАН «ЗОЛОТОЙ ОСЕЛ» АПУЛЕЯ В ПЕРЕВОДЕ М. КУЗМИНА: ЯЗЫК И СТИЛЬ

Author(s): Evgeniya Petrovna Litinskaya / Language(s): Russian Issue: 7/2024

This study marks the first attempt to perform a comparative analysis of Mikhail Kuzmin’s translation of Apuleius’ novel The Golden Ass and the original Latin text. The objective of this research is to examine specific passages from the Latin text that pose challenges for translators. The analysis emphasizes the nuances involved in conveying metaphors, epithets, epic formulas, similes, and rhetorical devices. To explore similarities and discrepancies and to illuminate Kuzmin’s translation style, the study also references earlier translations of the Roman novel by E. Kostrov and N. Sokolov. The findings indicate the uniqueness of Kuzmin’s translation. It stands apart from prior interpretations, showcasing the distinctiveness of the Roman author’s language and style while remaining relevant to contemporary readers. Kuzmin successfully strikes a balance between preserving the characteristics of the original text and ensuring its accessibility for modern audiences. Ultimately, this research demonstrates that Kuzmin made a noteworthy advancement in the methodology of translating ancient texts. Despite taking quite academic approach drawing upon antiquity studies, his work prioritizes the reader’s perception.

Translating the songs of the “Sirens” in James Joyce’s Ulysses

Author(s): Arianna Autieri,Lauri A. Niskanen / Language(s): English Issue: 15/2024

Song lyrics function in James Joyce’s “Ulysses” like any other literary and cultural allusion. However, in the musical episode of “Ulysses”, “Sirens”, lyrics may function as music as well. In the episode, where songs are performed by characters and, de facto, by the narrative itself, musical allusions are evoked in the readers’ mind, enriching their experience of the episode. The following question may arise then: how can the Sirens’ songs be translated for a target reader who is not familiar with the music or words of the songs mentioned? Addressing foundational word and music studies research and recent research on the translation of musical texts, this article investigates how lyrics alluded to in “Sirens” perform a musical role in the episode. Through the study of the Italian and Finnish (re)translations of the episode, it examines the creative options for translators of song lyrics in musico-literary texts.

Logoprofilaktyka a prewencja zachowań ryzykownych i uzależnień

Author(s): Roman Solecki,Piotr Szczukiewicz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2024

The article aims to present a new concept of risk behavior and addiction prevention, which is logoprophylaxis, as well as to show its place in the context of preventive activities. Logoprophylaxis is derived from Viktor E. Frankl’s concept of logotherapy. Its primary goal is to counteract existential crises resulting from a sense of lack of meaning in life, which in turn leads to such phenomena as addictions or risky behavior. The authors present sources, principles and strategies of logoprophylaxis and the possibilities of their application to the phenomenon of social anomie.
