‘One Day in Slovak, Another Day in Bulgarian’: Aspects of the Familial Upbringing of Children of Bulgarian-Mixed Origin

Author(s): Tanya Matanova / Language(s): English Issue: Special/2016

This paper addresses the specific situations faced by children of interethnic families relating to the ethnocultural, linguistic, and religious upbringing by their parents. The study focuses on persons born into Bulgarian-Russian, Bulgarian-Ukrainian, Bulgarian-Austrian, Bulgarian-Slovak, and Bulgarian-German families which reside in either Bulgaria or other European countries. An individual’s ethnocultural education is considered a part of the process of enculturation and socialization that occurs in the first few years of his or her life. In interethnic families, there are three cultural models that parents use to transmit their ethnic backgrounds to their descendants: the ‘one-sided arrangement’, ‘alternative arrangement’, and ‘creative adjustment’. The linguistic education includes the different means chosen by parents for transmitting their language competence to their offspring. The discussion of religious upbringing is based on data from people raised with two cultures and two festivity systems, and their family practices regarding religious holiday celebrations.

„Judasz z Monte Sicuro” — lekcja o moralności czasów wojny

Author(s): Lucyna Sadzikowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 24/2015

The works created in a German concentration camp by Gustaw Morcinek — an author well-known to literary circles and present at schools or in academic perception (though today almost forgotten), and recognizable to the Polish readers thanks to “Łysek z pokładu Idy” (“Baldie from Ida Coal Seam”) and “Wyrąbany chodnik” (“Clear Drift”) — prove that the problems shown in them are still of utmost importance. “Judasz z Monte Sicuro” (“Judas of Monte Sicuro”) — a novel by Gustaw Morcinek, on which this article focuses, gives an honest picture of traumatic wartime experiences, devoid of simplifications and distortions. It may become an important commentary on short stories by Tadeusz Borowski and “The Tin Drum” by Gunter Grass. Regardless of these works’ genesis, the attitudes of their protagonists are similar: they follow a subjective hierarchy of values, rejecting moral norms, and — repeatedly — causing conflicts with their surroundings. In school practice, “Judasz z Monte Sicuro” can be considered a significant work from both the historical and literary perspectives. It constitutes a record created by an eye-witness and chronicler of other people’s observations, and at the same time, it is an original work, written in simple language, unfettered by any rigid principles of the genre, and thus attracting attention with its authenticity and frankness. In school environment, reading “Judasz…” — which is appropriate in accordance with the core curriculum approved by the Ministry of Education — can bring a variety of interesting effects. One needs to remember that literature in secondary schools is primarily an event, whose content is unpredictable, diverse and complicated.

Náčrt jazykového obrazu matky v slovenčine

Author(s): Anna Gálisová / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 2/2022

This paper examines the linguistic image of the word matka "mother" in Slovak and its profiles. Theoretically, the paper is based on the principles of Slavic ethnolinguistics, and the examination of the Slovak linguistic image of mother relies on available relevant linguistic and empirical data. The analysis of linguistic data includes an examination of the lexical meaning captured in explanatory dictionaries, an examination of images of mother in Slovak phraseological units, as well as of the etymology of the lexeme matka. The empirical data was collected via questionnaire, and the paper both evaluates and correlates it with linguistic image of the word matka in Slovak. Finally, the paper enumerates individual profiles of matka in Slovak.

The History of Slovak Press in Argentina

Author(s): Vendula V. Hingarová / Language(s): English Issue: 03/2023

The study introduces the history of the Slovak-language press in Argentina. In a chronological overview, it introduces 20 Slovak periodicals published mainly in Buenos Aires between 1929 and 2003. The Slovak interwar emigration formed its institutions in broad connection with institutions of Czechs, while the post-war political exile established a distinct political line with strong Slovak nationalism. The post-war elite expanded the production of the Slovak press abroad and Buenos Aires became one of the main centres of the Slovak post-war exile in the late 1940s and early 1950s but struggled to include the voice of inter-war numerous immigrants. The study includes a bibliographical references and index of Slovak periodicals published in Argentina, as well as, short history of each title, its editorial, and references it is stored.

„Za Boha a národ!“: How the Slovak Language Press in America Helped Form Slovak-American Identity

Author(s): BEN SORENSEN / Language(s): English Issue: 03/2023

This research explores Slovak-American identity formation through the Slovak Language Press in late 1800s and early 1900s North America. Publications like Jednota, Amerikansko-Slovenske Noviny, and Slovak v Amerike promoted literacy, political awareness, and shaped much of the Slovak-American identity. Remarkably, Amerikansko-Slovenske Noviny had more subscribers than all Slovak newspapers in Slovakia combined, and therefore also exerted a much greater impact on the Slovak-American identity. We also examine the contrast between the press’s portrayal of Slovak-American worldviews and the historical reality of their experience, as well as their current identity and worldview, as well as the enduring influence of Jednota, the oldest Slovak-English continuously published newspaper, on today’s Slovak-American identity.

Súčasný slovakistický výskum na Filologickej fakulte Jagelovskej univerzity (a ostatných krakovských pracoviskách)

Author(s): Zbigniew Babik,Maria Papierz,Halina Mieczkowska / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 3/2023

The paper presents the research on the Slovak language carried out in Cracow since 2000, focusing on book publications. The main subject of interest was Slovak-Polish contrastive studies involving literary languages, led by specialized linguists affiliated at the Department of the Slavonic Philology of the Jagiellonian University (H. Mieczkowska: numerals, dynamics of the nominal inflection, recent changes in the lexical subsystems; M. Papierz: pronouns, semantic syntax; E. Orwińska: interjections, secondary prepositions). Apart from these, the Slovak linguistic material is constantly used by historical linguists, etymologists, onomasticians and dialectologists (both Polonists and Slavists) working in Cracow. The latter direction seems at the same time to be the most promising for the future.

Súčasný slovakistický výskum na Fakulte slovanských filológií Sofijskej univerzity sv. Klimenta Ochridského

Author(s): Diana K. Ivanova,Vladimíra Bashir Géčová / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 3/2023

Although it is one of the youngest Slavonic specialties at SU St. Kliment Ohridski, Slovakistics has attained its 30th anniversary. Its history, however, reaches much further back in time – to the end of the 60’s of the 20th century when the Slovakian lectureship was created, and even further back when during the 40’s the Slovak language system assumed its place in the lectures of Prof. Ivan Lekov for the first time. The Slavistic tradition at Sofia University is a peer of the university itself – a part of the Faculty of History and Philology whose first students were Slavists and historians. In the years of its existence, Slovak Philology, as an independent specialty within the Faculty of Slavic Philologies, has succeeded in occupying its place on a par with Bohemistics, Polonistics, Serbo-Croatistics and Ukrainistics, offering a full five-year Master’s course of study. Slovakistics graduates find proper realization in a wide range of professions both in the academic and educational field and beyond. At the same time, the teachers of the Slovakistic profile give their contribution in the academic Slavistic production both through contrastive research dealing with various aspects of the Bulgarian and Slovak languages in connection with the individual language levels (phonetics and phonology, morphology, lexicology and word-formation, etc.), in the field of translatology, and also through the preparation of educational resources (computer and digital) in the teaching of the Slovak language and their theoretical substantiation.

Rozšírenosť synsémantík v rozličných oblastiach jazykovej stavby

Author(s): Ján Kačala / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 4/2024

In this paper we note the penetration of synsemantics intoother domains of language, especially the functioning of particle expressions in different sentence positions, the extension of particle expressions in the area of forming of multipartite linking expressions, in the range of different word-forming processes and in the field of phraseology. We follow these processes and their results on the extension of the negation particle not and the variants ne-, -ne- and ni-, and -ni in various forms of names and their groupings, and as a part of the numerous linguistic formations of the language at several levels of the language system. In this sense, we note the rich prevalence of the negation particle in various functions and areas of the structure of Slovak language. In this paper we shed light on the formation of these linguistic formations and we bring evidence of their function in various areas of linguistic practice by presenenting excerpts of texts from various styles of Slovak language.

Popularizační dialog českých bohemistů s jejich čtenáři v průběhu tří čtvrtin století

Author(s): Jana Hoffmannová / Language(s): Czech Issue: 4-5/2024

The article builds on existing definitions of the popularizing style and investigates how the main features of this style are realized in short texts popularizing Czech linguistics and linguistic findings about Czech. The paper is based on texts by Czech linguists throughout the last 75 years: 23 books published since 1948 and 330 contemporary texts published by the scholars of the Czech Language Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences in various newspapers and magazines. It focuses on genre characteristics of these texts, most often referred to as “jazykové koutky” (literally “language corners”), but also as columns, glosses, feuilletons, reflections or essays – i.e., genres that are similar in their hybrid nature and informal expression. The stylistic analysis focuses on the dialogical nature of these texts, on the contact between the author and the reader, as projected into the texts. The results of a comparison between older popularization texts (roughly from the second half of the 20th century) and the most recent texts, from 2019–2024, are also presented: in the most recent texts, subjectivization, individualization, emphasized contact, and bringing authors closer to their intended readers come to the forefront significantly, while at same time the entertainment value, playfulness, and wittiness increase.

Krátké žánry (drobnosti, sloupky, koutky, „rady“) v bulharské jazykovědné popularizační tradici

Author(s): Milen Tomov / Language(s): Czech Issue: 4-5/2024

The article examines collections of various short language genres published in Bulgaria from the second half of the 20th century to the present day. A chronological and typological classification of the collections is presented, and a formal and general content characterization is made of this type of published series in the Bulgarian linguistic literature. The dynamics is traced of the compilation and publication of collections, and it is found that collective volumes have been decreasing over time and currently only collections by individual authors continue to be published, while at the same time their publication is shifting towards the Internet. From the review of the published collections it can be concluded that the linguist with the greatest presence and influence as an author of short language genres and with published book collections of advice on language is currently Prof. Vladko Murdarov, who is a scholar of the older generation. The article provides material enabling comparative research in the field of language cultivation and linguistic popularization.

Rozwój funkcjonalny spójnika ali w językach słowiańskich

Author(s): Mikołaj Dunikowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 12/2024

The aim of this paper is to form a hypothesis regarding the functional development of the conjunction ali in Slavic languages. The conjunction is derived from the Proto-Slavic compound *a li, which introduced a rhetorical question in Old Church Slavonic. It has appeared in several languages and has served a variety of functions, such as adversative, disjunctive, mirative, introducing conditionals. The hypothesis assumes the existence of two branches of its functional development, one of which is initiated by the use in rhetorical questions, which could have been later interpreted as adversative sentences. The paper analyses word uses in the oldest texts of selected Slavic languages: Serbo-Croatian, Old Polish and East Slavic languages. The methodology is based on the achievements of modern theoretical and typological linguistics, the functional-typological approach to coordination relations and the theory of semantic maps.

Żemła, kołacz, krepel… – wokół dawnego słownictwa związanego z polem tematycznym JEDZENIE obecnego w śląszczyźnie

Author(s): Beata Kiszka-Pytel / Language(s): Polish Issue: 12/2024

The aim of the article is to observe changes in the meaning of selected lexical archaisms that are still alive in the Silesian ethnolect, but have been forgotten or going out of use in the general Polish language, particularly those related to the traditional cuisine of the region. The research material was extracted from lexicographical works documenting regional vocabulary, i.e., Mały słownik gwary Górnego Śląska [Little Dictionary of Upper Silesian Dialects], part 1, Słownik gōrnoślōnskij gŏdki [Dictionary of Upper Silesian Godka], and confronted with the lexis collected in Mały słownik gwar polskich [Little Dictionary of Polish Dialects]. The considerations made in the study led to the following findings: the analysed lexical units, which previously enriched the active vocabulary in the general Polish language, still maintain their vitality in the Silesian ethnolect and often acquire new symbolic meaning. Moreover, a conflict between two contrasting cultural tendencies becomes evident – the departure of certain lexemes from the general Polish language into the passive vocabulary, as well as the return to tradition and a trend towards regionalism. The use of historical and linguistic analysis, as well as reference to National Corpus of Polish [Polish Language Corpus PWN], allowed to conclude about determining the limited scope of a given lexical unit.

Materiały do nauki języka polskiego jako obcego na podstawie słuchowisk radiowych: kilka uwag z etapu testowania metodą design thinking (część I)

Author(s): Khrystyna M. Nikolaichuk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 33/2024

The article presents the results from the testing stage of two lessons prepared on the basis of Polish radio dramas: a crime story and a story about the life and death of Wanda Rutkiewicz. The lessons are prototypes that were created as a result of working by means of the design thinking method. In the previous stages, the interviews were conducted with potential users of these materials, the main design challenges were defined, and then the ideas that responded to the previously formulated challenges were generated by the multidisciplinary team. The testers were teachers and foreigners learning Polish as a foreign language at the B2/C1 level. The feedback was collected by analyzing the survey data, messages sent by email or other internet messengers, and conversations with the respondents. In this work, the main focus was put on tasks that met with the testees’ approval.
