The subject of this article is the Old Cyrillic writing system that used yer’ only (the so-called monoyeric Ь-system) as well as the specific, non-standard but constant orthographical rules (ъ>o, ь; е>ь). This system appears in birch bark manuscripts in Old Novgorod from the mid-12th to the late 14th century, it is developed from the Old Bulgarian monoyeric system and can be defined and described as another Old Cyrillic monoyeric scribe school.

Диалектология и социолингвистика

Author(s): Mihail Videnov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2015

Bulgarian dialectologists live with the myth that today’s village is similar to the old patriarchal settlement in which there is no socialculture. Therefore, they believe that classical dialectological research methods and ways of description are still valid. This paper argues that the modern Bulgarian village has undergone considerable change and its language can be studied only by sociolinguistic methods.

Author(s): Kamen Dimitrov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2015

Manuscript No. 1160 (XIV c.) from Church-Historical and Archival Institute by the St. Synod of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church in Sofia contains the text of the Slavic penitential nomocanon – rules for church-legal regulation of the behavior of Orthodox Christians derived from Scripture, from the apostolic and the Church Fathers rules, from the rules of the Church Councils.

Творецът и неговият модел

Author(s): Diyana Nikolova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2013

The text analyses some particular features of the culture of the Antiquity and their projections into Western art, more specifically the ideas of love and happiness, of the artist/creator, of the roles of women in society and art. By tracing literary examples from the Antiquity, as well as literary historiography I will highlight the stable lines of representation which have also fed into the topos of West European imaginary – the image of the woman artist/creator (Sappho, Corinna), the myth of the male artist/creator and his model – “muse” (Kampaspa, Phryne, Lais, Aspasia, Cynthia, Fornarina), the myth of Pygmalion and Galatea.

Кънчо-Стояновият препис (1844 г.) на „История славянобългарска” и неговият език

Author(s): Niya Radeva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2012

The transcript of “Slavo-Bulgarian History”, done by the Turnovian Kancho Stoyanov in 1844, reflects the late reception of Paisiy’s work. The textological examination and a close study of the language of the manuscript show that it is based on several transcripts, with different genealogy and a different balance between more archaic morphological, syntactic and lexical traits on the one hand, and elements typical of the spoken language during the first half of the XIX century, on the other. In terms of language the transcript is not uniform.

Езикът на повестта „Пиян баща, убиец на децата си” от Илия Р. Блъсков

Author(s): Ivo Bratanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2012

The article is a detailed account of the language used in “Drunk Father, Murderer of His Children”, a novel written by the Bulgarian Revival writer Iliya R. Bluskov and published in 1879–1880. The article tackles major graphic, spelling, phonetic, morphological and syntactic traits of the language in this text. Here one can trace theinfluence of local vernacular and of Bulgarian literary tradition on the author’s language. The analysis shows that Iliya R. Bluskov follows the language-spelling model of the Shumen literary school and that he has contributed to the general acceptance of a number of phonetic and morphological norms which have now been adopted in modern Standard Bulgarian.

Role prefixoidů z klasických jazyků při obohacování slovní zasoby (nejen) češtiny na příkladu komponentů bio- a eko-

Author(s): Eliška Králová / Language(s): Czech Issue: 31/2022

The word-formation components originating in the classical languages are both malleable and effective device of marking new facts resulting from rapidly occuring changes on the global scale. What seems to be a decisive factor here, are considerable requirements of contemporary language systems towards newly coined words, that relate to those words’ functionality and internationality. The newly formed words need to mirror the transient realities of life and meet the communicative needs of speakers who live in the reality characterised by fast civilisation changes. Both the word-building formants originating in Latin and those originating in Greek fulfill those requirements. Latin and Greek prefixoids, in addition to being highly productive, may be easily combined with word-building components of native and foreign origin. On the one hand, it is an advantageous situation from the viewpoint of a given language users, while on the other, the said situation creates a risk of abusing and exhausting the meaning of some words, which brings about the need to eventually replace them with others. The speakers who gradually broaden their lexicons by including the newly-formed words may, in the course of this process, utilise their preexisting knowledge and thusfar experience that on the conceptual level correspond to the usage of word-formation components originating in Latin and Greek. The author of the article has combined her linguistic knowledge pertaining to how prefixes and prefixoids originating in Latin and Greek function in the Czech language, with the research findings of language didactics. At the same time, the author indicates particular case where the English language influences the Czech language.

K neekologičnosti manipulace

Author(s): Stanislav Štěpáník / Language(s): Czech Issue: 31/2022

The paper presents the necessity of implementing ecolinguistic topics into L1 teaching. It takes Instagram posts of Czech, Polish and Slovak influencers as an example and shows that manipulation techniques overreach the boundaries of countries and languages. If we accept the thesis that manipulation is dominantly a non-ecological phenomenon, which threatens the life of wider ecosystems, the reaction of school is inevitable, especially because children and youth form a highly vulnerable group.

Ekoglottodydaktyka? Analiza treści podręczników do nauki języka angielskiego jako obcego w świetle założeń krytyki ekologicznej

Author(s): Alina Mitek-Dziemba / Language(s): Polish Issue: 31/2022

The article is aimed at providing the theoretical background for the foreign language (ESL) environmental education, which is sought in the early manifestations of the environmental movement, as well as presenting the main assumptions of ecological criticism as a benchmark for the educational practice whose major objective is to instil environmental awareness in students at the time of the climate crisis. The second part of the paper includes an analysis of environmental contents in Polish schoolbooks used in the ESL classroom at intermediate and advanced levels. The authors’ decisions regarding the presentation of ecological topics and climate change issues are then investigated in terms of its compliance with ecocritical claims and its support of activist and emancipatory attitudes. The analysis seeks to indicate the best methods and ways of pursuing critical environmental pedagogy which would be able to rise to the challenges of the Anthropocene.

Homer i współczesny folklor – różny czas, jedna tradycja

Author(s): Jerzy Sierociuk / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

In the article; I present an issue of importance to the interpretation of folk culture; namely if texts representing contemporary folklore to some extent continue the traditional poetic structure. The major question is if contemporary folklore may go back to the time when oral culture prevailed. Original folk texts from various Slavic nations were subjected to an analysis. The textual persistence of identical elements of the poetics of folk works in all Slavic languages is an argument in favour of a thesis that these structures go back to the proto-Slavic community. The occurrence of folklore units; absent from dialects and the literary language; is evidence of their proto-Slavic origin. The formulaic discourse of the epics of Slavic folklore and the like structure of Homer’s texts allow to advance an argument that both textual structures have the same origin and come from one tradition while the time of documenting thereof is different.

Nowa deiksa? Nowa anafora? Nowa semantyka? Językowa gra w oczywistość płci

Author(s): Arkadiusz Jabłoński / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2021

The investigation of language and language processes is based on the assumption that they are related to a certain verifiable reality. Still, not all parameters of language express the reality in an exact manner. Moreover, the postulate to render strictly the actual properties of designates in language may reveal the hallmarks of a manipulative communication game. In the paper, an analysis of some fragmentary, chosen, although in the general perspective viewed as representative examples of use of certain elements of deictic and anaphoric character in marking the sex of a designate (not always identical with the grammatical value of gender in Polish) is proposed in terms of such a game in the texts from the contemporary Polish communicative domain.
