Author(s): Mihajlo P. Fejsa / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 3/2019

There was a kind of chaos in formatting works for publishing, citing and referencing sources in Ruthenian scientific and professional publishing practice, and it is still prevalent today. The basic goals of this paper are to present the rules that would lead to the unification of work publication style, and to enable the updating of orthography of the Ruthenian language, since the still-valid Orthography Rule-Book of the Ruthenian language by Nikola N. Kočiš dates back to 1971. The basis of the proposed rules is the APA style, i.e. the sixth version of the APA style. The author considers the APA standards dominant in all scientific areas (natural, humanistic, technical, social, medical sciences), that the author ‒ date principle is the most suitable style for referencing both printed and electronic sources, and that by adopting the APA standards we will be able to get our works closer to the modern world. In order to ensure a clear and consistent presentation of our works, the author of this paper proposes several basic rules for the use of periods, commas, semicolons, colons, quotation marks, parentheses, brackets, slashes, dashes, hyphens, points, italic font, bold font, small letters, capital letters, Latin letters, and footnotes

ИСТОЧНОСЛОВАЧКЕ ПАРАЛЕЛЕ У РАТАРСКОЈ И ПОВРТАРСКОЈ ЛЕКСИЦИ РУСИНА У ВОЈВОДИНИ

Author(s): Aleksandar Mudri / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 3/2019

Historical circumstances contributed to the current Ruthenian language in Vojvodina, where traces of contact with several languages of the Carpathian area can be found. Migration of Ruthenians from parts of today’s eastern Slovakia and north-eastern Hungary, only enriched these traces. In this paper, the focus will be on contrasting the Ruthenian language with Eastern Slovak dialects. More precisely, the agricultural lexicon of the Ruthenian language in Vojvodina will be paralleled to that of the Eastern Slovak dialects. In the paper, lexemes based on which conclusions can be drawn about the similarities of the lexemes of this subject area in the Ruthenian language in Vojvodina with the Eastern Slovak dialects are presented. Through the analysis, characteristics which support this claim are emphasized. Additionally, lexemes which have an identical form in Eastern Slovak and Western Ukrainian dialects are found. When it comes to the origin of these lexemes, they are mostly words of Slavic origin

PREFIXES WITH NEGATIVE AND REVERSATIVE MEANING IN ENGLISH AND THEIR RUTHENIAN EQUIVALENTS

Author(s): Marina Šlemender / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2019

The researchers of the English and Ruthenian language defined the prefix, explained the meanings of prefixes and their use, in their own languages, but, there are not many works which focus on contrasting the prefixes in these two languages. For this reason, this paper was written, where the focus is on the negative and reversative meaning of English prefixes and their translation into the Ruthenian language. The goal of this paper is to provide a different perspective on how the negative and reversative meanings are denoted in English and Ruthenian. Through analysis of the examples from the corpus, some conclusions were made, about the similarities and differences in the two languages

ПИСМА ВОЯКА

Author(s): Janko Ramač / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 3/2019

Based on about one hundred postcards and letters, which have been saved, written by Osif Kološnjaji from Ruski Krstur, this article focuses on his life and movements since the time he was called up as a reservist of the Yugoslav Army to the Sombor barracks where he remained until the beginning of the German attack on Yugoslavia. In the postcards he sent to his wife Veruna, he not only writes about private matters, but also describes his view of the circumstances in the reservist units, as well as in the entire Yugoslav Army at that time. As a reservist of the Hungarian Army, where he was drafted twice, in 1942 and 1943, he didn't write much. During the second "military training" he was convinced that by the time they finished their job at the tailor's shop they would return home. However, in early January 1944 he was mobilized and sent to the Eastern Front where he spent almost half a year in the territory of northwestern Ukraine and southwestern Belarus. Obviously, he was not allowed to write in more detail in the mail from the front on places and military actions, but he nevertheless gave a lot of interesting information about military operations, the situation in the Army, about his own experiences of the war and the horrors of war, as well as on the Ruthenians and men from Krstur who at that time were with him or not very far away from him. Since he had been wounded in the territory of southeastern Poland and transported for treatment to Austria, he wrote only a few of the last letters and postcards that have been preserved. The letters and postcards make a valuable source material that considerably enriches and illuminates the stay of his fellow citizens in German work camps and their participation in the Second World War in the units of the occupying Hungarian Army

UKRAJINSKO-SRPSKE KOMUNIKACIJE KROZ HISTORIJU: KONTAKTI, TIPOLOGIJA, STILISTIKA

Author(s): Jevgenij Pascenko / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 3/2019

One of the biggest influences on the relations among Ukranians and Serbians was the process of Serbian migrations on the territory of the south and east Ukraine during the mid 18th century. This research analyzes the methodological principles of the Slavic studies in the 19th century and the following period of the Soviet Slavistics. In the research, the apology of the Russian imperial politics in the colonization of the Ukranian territory is dominant. Ukranian intellectuals of the imperial period tried to subtly, due to the political restraints, point out the negative consequences of such migrations, primarily for the future of Zaporoške Siči. In this paper, the 18th century migration of Serbians towards the Russian empire is viewed from various perspectives. Other than the political motivation of the migration and the Serbian search for “liberation” in the monotheistic Russia, this migration is also analyzed as a form of the Slavic baroque. This myth of Russia being the saviour collapsed, as the immigrants were used to destroy the independence of Ukraine, and, afterwards, were assimilated. Novoserbija and Slavenoserbija were used by the empire as a bait to use the Serbian masses in their imperial expansion, and as an instrument to tear down the backbone of the nation - the Ukranian kozaks. The fate of the Serbain immigrants was similar to the one of the Ukranians, as they were both assimilated. However, the process of migration is reflected in the toponymy, literature, historical research and the interethnic relations on the territory of the south-east Ukraine. Here, it is shown how the toponymies of the immigrants occurred where the Ukranian names already existed, and whether the Serbian namings disappeared or survived in the following historical periods. The Serbian ancestry of a number of the Ukranian intellectuals is emphasized. The relations formed in the 18th century among the Ukranians and Serbians are only one part of the permanent and fruitful relations among these two nations. In this critical period, they were used by the Russian’s anti-ukrainism to show the imperial political orientation

PRÍSPEVKY O JAZYKU RUSÍNOV V SLOVENSKEJ MEDZIVOJNOVEJ TLAČI

Author(s): Daniela Marčoková / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 3/2019

In the absence of their own press until the World War One, the Ruthenians subscribed to the publications of the Slovaks in Vojvodina. Shortly after the war ended, they were subscribing to the newspaper Národná jednota, and later also to Národný kalendár. These publications, among the rest, provided information on Rhuthenian cultural events and mutual Slovak-Ruthenian’s relations. The first cultural contacts between Slovaks and Ruthenians in Vojvodina were probably due much to their linguistic and national closeness. The first attempts of some Czechoslovak authors, to clarify the question of the linguistic affiliation of Yugoslav Ruthenians, which were the first published articles on this subject in the Slovak Vojvodinian press, also appeared. As there were tendencies of appropriation of the Ruthenian nation as a Slovak or Ukrainian nation, the scientific work also raised questions about the Ruthenian language belonging to certain language groups. At present, the Ruthenian language has more codifications: the oldest has Ruthenian language in Serbia and Croatioa, and more recently, Ruthenian languages in Slovakia, Poland, Hungary and Ukraine also receive their codifications or standards. There were not many articles on the language of the Ruthenians in publications of the Vojvodina Slovaks in the interwar period. Regardless of some inaccuracies, they still contributed to maintaining the continuity of interest of Vojvodina Slovaks in all aspects of the Ruthenian national-cultural fife in Vojvodina. This interest escalated especially after the Second World War, when there came to an intensive mutual translation and publication of children’s and adult literature in both Slovak and Ruthenian publications

LAUGHTER IN WRITTEN SERBIAN LANGUAGE

Author(s): Jordana S. Marković,Violeta Stojčić / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

Laughter is an expression of a person's mood. It belongs to the vocal articulation in humans. In literature (and in dictionaries) sometimes this manner of articulation needs to be depicted in words. Different languages have different inventories of sounds which evoke laughter in written language. In this paper, we discuss the inventory of sounds by which laughter is represented in writing in the Serbian language. Data were compiled from published dictionaries and literary works, and some were obtained through a survey. The data were analyzed to compile the inventory of this function and to record spelling practices and nuances in transcribing various forms of laughter (loud, silent, etc.).

FANTASTIC STORYWORLDS AND TRANSFICTIONALITY OF LITERARY CHARACTERS

Author(s): Snežana М. Milosavljević Milić / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

he interpretation of a literary character in the context of the distinction between the multiple storyworlds is connected with the phenomenon of “transfictionality” (Saint–Gelais 2005). When the same characters inhabit more possible worlds, they become travelling narrative individuals. If they originate as a „transfer‟ of real historical persons through different fictional and non-fictional genres, “real individuals” represent extratextual versions (Margolin 1997, Dannenberg 2008). We refer to intertextual versions in case of variants of unreal individuals in different fictional genres. When we talk about variants of characters within a text created due to “travels” of characters from realistic to fantastic worlds, or through many virtual worlds, then we refer to intratextual versions. Our starting hypothesis is that transgressiveness of a character is an immanent characteristic of heroes in fantastic fictional worlds, regardless of the type of the fantastic. Modification appears as a compulsory factor of any type of transgression. The range and intensity of heroes‟ changes, as we know, show high variability, from the oldest and most explicit metamorphoses to partial or soft and barely visible modifications, from bodily transformations to psychological and mental variations, from sudden shapeshifting to gradual changes. Special intention will be paid to the counterfactual aspect of fantastic narrative world in the short stories by Radoje Domanović, Dejan Vukićević and Neil Gaiman. In line with that, we will briefly outline the intratextual relations which originate between the doubles of actual realistic fiction world and virtual/fantastic worlds. In that vein, one can consider the significant role of techniques of the fantastic in switching between storyworlds.

THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THEORETICAL ASSUMPTIONS IN SERBIAN LANGUAGE TEACHING PRACTICE

Author(s): Marina Janjić,Aleksandar M. Novaković / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

The subject of this paper is the implementation of theoretical knowledge in the processes of teaching practice realization, while the focus of the research is on identifying the causes of students’ most common mistakes during the realization of the course Professional (methodological) practice of Serbian language teaching at philological faculties. By analyzing the records and material (student portfolios for the realization of the teaching practice) from the exam classes provided by students of the Serbian language and literature from the Faculty of Philosophy in Niš during four academic years (from 2015/16 to 2018/19), we found and analyzed characteristic beginner mistakes, and classified them into six categories: methodological mistakes in class realization, a lack of compliance with teaching principles, a lack of required class structure, unskilled application of teaching forms and methods, unskilled application of teaching aids (and technical aids) and mistakes in behavior and communication. The results obtained point to the complexity of teaching theory (developmental and pedagogical psychology and didactics), which needs to be linked to academic disciplines (linguistics, science of literature and the literary art itself) during the methodological formation of Serbian language and literature classes.

GRAMMAR OF THE DETECTIVE GENRE

Author(s): Dejan D. Milutinović / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

The paper describes the grammar of the detective genre. This is done on the basis of formalist-structuralist poetics, by extracting the actants of detective syntax. It involves: the plot, enigma, secret, solution, crime, and the detective. The plot is determined both on the basis of the main stages of the detective narrative (crime, investigation, explanation) and depending on the reader's reading experience. An enigma is the absence of information about someone/something, but it is also part of the plot - it hides events which led to a specific crime. The secret is connected with the enigma and concerns both the crime and the detective. The solution is considered by many to be the most important feature of the detective genre, which has a distinctly ideological character. A crime is a motive, not a goal - it happens outside the text, and is transmitted through the text. The detective is a distinctive figure of this genre, determined by intellectual and scientific abilities, but also by eccentricity and fragmentation.

NUANCE OF ANIMISM IN THE PROSE OF ŽIVKO ČINGO

Author(s): Danijela Kostadinović / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

Starting from the theoretical settings of folklore study, history of religion, anthropology and psychoanalysis, this paper studies the elements of animistic beliefs in the prose of the Macedonian writer Živko Čingo. The research material consists of the short stories “Духови в куќи”, “Вљубениот дух”, “Лудите роднини во борба со прекобното пиле” and “Пеперуга со златна прав”. The aim of this paper is to confirm that these stories establish a link with animism and the belief in the existence of soul in all animate and inanimate entities and phenomena in nature, and the belief that the soul continues to live after death.

THE VERNACULAR OF NIŠ IN CHILDREN’S POETRY OD MALEČKO DO GOLEMO

Author(s): Tatjana G. Trajković / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

The paper analyses dialectal features of the collection of poems for children Od malečko do golemo by Slavka Vojinović Masončić. The collection was published in Niš in 2018, and it represents one of rare examples of literature for children written in a dialect. This collection has caught the public’s attention through social networks, primarily because of the poem “Nole, tatko na tenis”. The subject matter of the majority of poems refers to childhood, children’s joys and tricks. The poems have incited a significant interest with readers, primarily due to the Prizren-South Morava dialect. The aim of this paper is to describe phonetic, morphological, syntactic and lexical characteristics of the poems, to compare the determined linguistic image with the dialectal descriptions of the vernacular language of the city of Niš, and, therefore, to link the language of the poems to the subject matter, which should lead to the conclusions about the stylistic function of dialects in a literary work.

A CASE STUDY ON THE MORPHO-PHONOLOGICAL STATUS OF SERBIAN ADJECTIVAL DERIVATIONAL SUFFIXES WITH INITIAL J

Author(s): Aleksandra A. Janić / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

The subject of this paper is the status of Serbian adjectival derivational suffixes with initial j in comparison to their variants with initial lj, nj, and also without an initial consonant. Azbučnik prideva u srpskoj prozi dvadesetog veka by Miroslav Josić Višnjić was used as a corpus. The most favourable possible scenario for adjectival derivational suffixes ‑jan, -j(a)n, ‑jav, ‑jast, ‑ji, ‑jiv, ‑jal(a)n, ‑jar(a)n, -jat, -jev, ‑jevit, -jikav, -jin, ‑jit, ‑juškast and their distribution were analysed regarding the phonological characteristics of the final consonant of a derivational base they are combined with. These derivational suffixes with initial j in Serbian are the most stable with n and l at the end of a base (n + j from a derivational suffix > the phoneme nj, l + j from a derivational suffix > the phoneme lj), but they are rarely visible on the surface structure of adjectives (cf. pasji). In word formation analyses, adjectives with derivational bases with final nj, lj and other palatal and palatalised consonants can be morpho-phonologically explained with derivational suffixes with an initial j, but some of them also with initial nj, lj or without initial consonant.

VERB AGREEMENT WITH PREVERBAL (NON) SYNCRETIC COORDINATED SUBJECTS

Author(s): Ivana Z. Mitić / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

This paper examines the effects which contribute to the agreement of the verb with only one of the conjuncts of different values for gender and number as opposed to resolved agreement. Bošković (2009) claims that resolved agreement is the only available pattern of agreement. New experimental research on a Slovenian sample (Marušič, Nevins, and Badecker 2015) confirms that a verb can agree with the plural conjunct as well. These authors, as well as Willer Gold et al. (2016) attest that agreement occurs in phonological form in Slovenian and Serbian. This study is based on an elicited production experiment and acceptability judgments experiments to verify what happens when a verb is in agreement with pre-verbal (non)syncretic coordinated conjuncts of different values for gender and number. The results indicate that resolved agreement is far less frequently used when the verb is in agreement with a syncretic coordinated subject than with a non-syncretic one, as well as that agreement with the last plural conjunct is a stable and available agreement pattern whether or not a verb is in agreement with a (non)syncretic coordinated subject. The results support the hypothesis that agreement occurs in phonological form.

AN ANALYSIS OF PHONETIC-PHONOLOGICAL AND ORTHOGRAPHIC ERRORS WHEN LEARNING SERBIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Author(s): Nina Lj. Sudimac / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

From the perspective of applied linguistics, this paper deals with the acquisition of Serbian as a foreign language by learners whose mother tongues are Lithuanian, Japanese, English and Bulgarian, and who spent one semester at the Centre for Serbian as a Foreign and Second Language at the Faculty of Philosophy in Niš. Working with a specific sample and using the analytical and error analysis method, we aim to identify the most common errors the speakers make at the phonetic-phonological and orthographic level,., the identified linguistic errors are classified into (a) errors occurring under the influence of the mother tongue; (b) errors as the result of the strict rules of the Serbian language system itself – interlingual errors; (c) errors arising from knowledge of another second language; and (d), errors resulting from the insecurity and insufficient acquisition of the Serbian language. By analyzing the sample, we conclude that the greatest number of errors at the phonetic-phonological and orthographic level occurred under the influence of their mother tongue (L1) on Serbian (L2).

THE DOUBLINGS IN A SHORT STORY COLLECTION STARI DANI BY BORISAV STANKOVIĆ

Author(s): Milica Aleksić / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

In this paper we discuss the doubling of characters' identities in Borisav Stanković's short story collection Stari dani (1902), and a conscious or unconscious selection of another protagonist as an alternative for performing a particular protagonist’s activity the doubling of the actual narrative world through counter-narrative, simulated narrative, comparison and narrative negation will be analyzed. We will try to show how the patriarchal context determines this otherness of worlds and protagonists, and what the cause-effect relations has to do with the psychologization of Stanković's protagonists and the development of the story in nine short stories of the aforementioned collection.
