Current Research in Slovak Linguistics at the Faculty of Arts, Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the research and publishing outputs of the Department of Slovak Studies, Slavonic Philologies and Communication at the Faculty of Arts, Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice as a starting point for reflections on the communication nature of texts, especially from the point of view of the author’s intention. In contemporary society, the balance is shifting to what is called “certainty” messages, scientific texts being only a part of them. We see the basic communication difference in the type of sciences in which the texts come into being. Natural sciences discover theories on the basis of which things are produced, humanities and social sciences invent mainly social principles on the basis of which they formulate rules but only philologies study text also as an artistic means of communication having the direct effect not only through reason but through emotions, too. Based on what has been said, we propose – within sciences, on one side natural sciences, and on the other side humanities, and within humanities to separately single out philology/ philologies and adequately assess its (and not only its) research outputs.
