Three North Samoyedic Prohibitive Auxiliaries: Nenets ńo-, ńō-, ńu-, ńū-, Nganasan ńe- and Enets i-

Three North Samoyedic Prohibitive Auxiliaries: Nenets ńo-, ńō-, ńu-, ńū-, Nganasan ńe- and Enets i-

Author(s): Ago Künnap / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2010

Keywords: Samoyedic; Nenets; Nganasan; Enets; use and etymology of prohibitive auxiliaries

Among North Samoyedic prohibitive auxiliaries the Nenets ńo- etc. is exceptional because it does not match the general tendency in North Samoyedic as it states that the secondary ń precedes palatal vowels only. The consonant ń- is regarded as secondary among North Samoyedic negative auxiliaries. Therefore the ńo- should actually be an ń-initial primary stem (*ńo-). According to the M. A. Castrén’s Samoyedic grammar, the prohibitive stems Nenets ńo- etc., Nganasan ńe- and Enets i- were very restrictedly used in his time. In subject literature researchers did not pay any special attention to the limited use mentioned above. However, it is conspicuous that the spheres of the limited use in all three languages coincide in Castrén’s treatment: only for the 2P. It may not at all be accidental.

Speech acts of manipulation expressed through a variety of utterances having a number of specific aims are used to directly or indirectly convey certain meanings. The article suggest a comprehensive analysis of linguistic means used to construct various types of manipulating and motivating speech acts aimed at conveying different tinges of meaning.

Space Law at 21st Century: The Security Issues

Space Law at 21st Century: The Security Issues

Author(s): Oleg Gennadiyevich Danilyan,Аleхander Dzeban / Language(s): English / Issue: 22/2019

Keywords: space law;security issues;space exploration;space tourism;international legal treaty;imperative to overcome the border;aero-space environmental technologies;

The article analyzes the problem of the formation of the imperative of explication of human activity in outer space. It is believed that the existing international treaties and legal framework for the regulation of human activities in outer space require close attention of researchers and thorough study. The main challenges posed by space exploration carry not only potential benefits but also global threats and risks to the existence of human civilization. The content of the strategy for the development of the comic space is demonstrated taking into account the non-classical paradigm of philosophy and epistemology, which significantly delegitimize the content of modern ethical and axiological principles. The search for strategies of legal support of the policy and strategy of civilization development in the context of space exploration is carried out within the eight formulated trends (space delimitation, prevention of militarization, environmental problems of space exploration, resource potential of space, etc).

Absolute Invalidity of Contracts

Absolute Invalidity of Contracts

Author(s): Mimoza A. Aliu / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2018

Keywords: Contracts; Terms of Contracts; Effects of the absolute invalidity of contracts;

Obligations created by the will of the subjects of the right, natural persons and legal persons,are based on a contract. These obligations are voluntary obligations. The initiative for the establishment of civil-legal relations, and in particular the contractual right based on dispositive provisions, requires us to be careful, primarily in the choice of the contracting party, the subject matter of the contract and other elements of the contract, since its creation up until the completion of the contract. Kosovo's legislation stipulates that in case of violation of legal-imperative norms, constitutional principles or social morals, the absolute nullity of the contracts is caused because the general interest in our legal order is violated. In cases where the interests of the parties are violated, as a result of the disclosure of the will of the party, the relative invalidity of the contract is caused.The invalidity of contracts is a very complex issue, so the purpose of this paper is to examine issues arising from the absolute invalidity of contracts, first of all under applicable law in Kosovo but also in the comparative law. Lack of care for the indispensable elements of the contract has consequences both in the individual interest but also in the general interest. If the content of the contract is inconsistent with constitutional, imperative and moral provisions, it cannot produce legal effects. Violation of the general interest entitles the public prosecutor, citizens or contracting parties to request the invalidity of such contract and the elimination of the consequences caused by the null contract.

EUROPEAN ECONOMIC INTEREST GROUPING. FIELDS OF APPLICATION OF THE REGULATION NO. 2137/1985 AND THE NATIONAL LAW

Grupul european de interes economic. Domeniile de aplicare a Regulamentului nr. 2137/1985 și dreptului național

Author(s): Carmen-Nicoleta Bărbieru / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: II/2014

Keywords: Regulation; national legislation; group; filed of application; uniformity status;

The article examines the legal regime of the European Economic Interest Grouping from the perspective of delimitation of the fields of application of the Regulation no. 2137/1985 and the national law. Created in order to overcome the legal, fiscal and psychological barriers of cross-border cooperation, the European Economic Interest Grouping has been regulated by the European legislator through a norm to ensure unity and uniformity to the European law, namely, the regulation. Certain aspects regarding the Economic Interest Grouping, however, were left to be governed by the national legislation of the Member States of the European Union, the European legislator’s intention being to give more freedom and flexibility on the internal functioning of the group. To the European Economic Interest Grouping are primarily applied the mandatory provisions of the regulation, followed by the provisions of the articles of association of the group. The supplementary provisions of the regulation are applicable in the absence of the contractual ones, while those of the national law apply in cases under the regulation, the applicable national law being, as the case, of the state on the territory on which the European Economic Interest Grouping establishes its headquarters or of the member of the group, regarding its status and legal capacity. The borrowing by the regulation of some of the features of the Directive, as a consequence of giving Member States the prerogative to regulate certain aspects regarding the status of the European Economic Interest Grouping, created in practice differences regarding the regulation of this legal instrument of cross-border cooperation.

THE USE OF "SHALL" IN LEGAL TRANSLATIONS: HOW TO IDENTIFY AND WHEN TO REPLACE IT WITH OTHER VERB FORMS IN ROMANIAN-ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS

THE USE OF "SHALL" IN LEGAL TRANSLATIONS: HOW TO IDENTIFY AND WHEN TO REPLACE IT WITH OTHER VERB FORMS IN ROMANIAN-ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS

Author(s): Marina-Cristiana Rotaru / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2017

Keywords: shall; mandatory value; legal texts;

The use of mandatory "shall" in legal texts is a distinct feature of the conservatism of legal language. This linguistic conservatism has been challenged by the literature in the past years, more and more voices supporting the view that mandatory "shall" can often be replaced by the modal verb "must" while the mandatory meaning remains unaltered. However, mandatory "shall" continues to hold ground in legal language. For Romanian legal translators, identifying when to use mandatory "shall" represents a serious challenge. Some knowledge in legal drafting may often be of help. But there may also be other clues that help spot places in a legal text where "shall" is required. This paper aims to identify some such clues that help signal to the translator that "shall" is not to be missed. Furthermore, the article illustrates situations when mandatory shall can be replaced by other verb forms.

MOTOR LIABILITY INSURANCE. THE JURIDICAL CONSEQUENCES AND THE LEGAL NATURE OF THE INSURANCE

Author(s): Tudor Oniga / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2019

Keywords: accidents; insurance; victims; protection;treatment;

This Communication makes a short radiography of Law no. 132 of 31 May 2017 on compulsory insurance against civil liability in respect of third-party damage caused by vehicle and tramway accidents, in conjunction with the relevant European directives. Attention is drawn to the obligations of courts in civil claims from victims of traffic accidents, knowing that national and European legislation on compulsory civil liability insurance, civil process principles and Romanian case law impose an obligation to insure a fair and non-discriminatory treatment for persons harmed by an insured risk.The objectives and the aim pursued by the European and national regulation, namely the social protection of road accident victims, the extremely disadvantaged social category, the guarantee of comparable treatment of the victims of road accidents and the adequate compensation of the victims of road accidents, have been highlighted. In conclusion, the objectives and the aim pursued by European and national regulation were taken into account.

Illuminating Existential Meaning: A New Approach in the Study of Retirement

Illuminating Existential Meaning: A New Approach in the Study of Retirement

Author(s): Mattias Bengtsson,Marita Flisbäck / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2021

Keywords: Retirement;Phenomenological Approach;Existential Imperative;Beingtoward-Death;Second Birth;Social Inequality

Current discussions on the importance of retirement are largely built on statistical analyses of longitudinal data showing that well-being seldom changes from before to after entering retirement, but is rather mainly dependent on the individual’s social resource position. In contrast, qualitatively oriented researchers underline that the retirement process is a complex life transition that needs to be further illuminated. To do this, however, we need to advance new theoretical and methodological perspectives. In this article, an existential sociology approach is outlined, emphasizing the multifaceted spectra of lived experiences and meaning-making in the retirement process. The phenomenological approaches of existential sociology allow us to consider how the exit from working life is created in the processes of motion rather than as expressions of static positions. A merit of this approach is that retirement as an empirical case may say something general about being in transition as a basic social condition. In the article, we discuss how a socio-biographical methodology, based on longitudinal qualitative interviews, helps us capture how existential meaning is formed and reformed in the ambiguous situations which arise in similar life-course transitions. Theoretically, we especially draw on concepts from the existential anthropologist Jackson and the phenomenological tradition of existential philosophers such as Arendt and Heidegger.

ETHICAL DIMENSIONS WHEN INTERVENING IN CLASSROOM RESEARCH

ETHICAL DIMENSIONS WHEN INTERVENING IN CLASSROOM RESEARCH

Author(s): Tony Burner / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2016

Keywords: formative interventions; research ethics; intervention research; professional development;

There is an increasing amount of educational research that aims at intervening in classroom teaching and learning practices, partly as a response to “what works” in education. However, few researchers ask the fundamental question of who actually “owns” the interventions, and not the least which ethical dimensions arise from intervening in classrooms. The present research investigates these two questions and relates them to the role of the researcher in formative intervention research, and by relating ethical dimensions to ethics of principles, consequences, relations and virtues. It suggests that interventionist researchers need to develop their reflexive sensitivity, both epistemologically and methodologically when they conduct formative interventions in classrooms, and that the idea of intervening requires different responses depending on the type of ethics that is applied. Interventionist researchers need to be more humble, more open to new ideas and changes in their original plans, and more able to share their contributions with the field of education compared to descriptive research designs. Also, they need to question the very idea of intervening in classrooms, legitimize it and reflect on it with ethical dimensions in mind.

The customs of independent study of students

The customs of independent study of students

Author(s): Mihaela Aurelia Ştefan / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2010

Keywords: independent study; autonomy; self-regulation learning; metacognition; self-monitoring; personal reflection;

Maximum knowledge in less time and with minimum effort represents an imperative requirement of contemporary humans assaulted by the explosion of information. The rustiness of knowledge and skills needs to acquire the methods and techniques of independent study. Starting from the premise that the University contributes to the development of student autonomy (to learn independently and to be autonomous professionals in their future professional service), the study identified how the Students-to-Become Physics and Biology Teachers, study individually. The information obtained through various methods such as observation, consultation, interview, questionnaire, research products, business students (books notes, written works, etc.) were permanently compared between them, in order to obtain radiography of the existing situation at the educational level of reality on the planning, organising and conducting the study individually. The independent learning involves a high level of self-consciousness, implies the affirmation of cognitive and metacognitive skills, as well as self-adjustment of personal effort.

Pragmatic Aspects of Latvian Predicative Infinitive Constructions

Pragmatic Aspects of Latvian Predicative Infinitive Constructions

Author(s): Andra Kalnača,Ilze Lokmane / Language(s): English / Issue: 37/2020

Keywords: infinitive; predicative construction; dative; tense; copula; modality; polarity;

The purpose of this article is to examine Latvian predicative infinitive constructions in a pragmatic aspect, showing that they constitute a special type of pragmatic marking. Unlike such pragmatic markers as particles, conjunctions, adverbs or prosody, predicative infinitive constructions in Latvian are pragmatically functioning as a single unit, i.e., their constructional functionality follows from this unity rather than from separate lexical or grammatical elements. Insofar as they represent a marginal modally marked construction type in Latvian, their use is related to non-neutral, marked registers of the language. Therefore, the article focuses on modal and temporal meanings, as well as polarity of predicative infinitive constructions. As their modal and temporal meanings are closely related to communicative types of utterances, the use of these constructions is restricted to specific text types – warnings, categorical requests and prohibitions, advertisements, headlines in mass media, etc.

THE TECHNOLOGICAL CIVILIZATION: FROM THE ABOLITION OF MAN (C.S. LEWIS) TO A POSTHUMAN FUTURE (F. FUKUYAMA)

THE TECHNOLOGICAL CIVILIZATION: FROM THE ABOLITION OF MAN (C.S. LEWIS) TO A POSTHUMAN FUTURE (F. FUKUYAMA)

Author(s): Monica Meruțiu / Language(s): English / Issue: 21/2020

Keywords: technology; humanity; posthumanism;

In the course of time the line between the use and abuse of technology has been rather thin; the moment technology fails to place and maintain at its center the dignity and the sanctity of the human being, the sacredness of life, it ceases to be an instrument for the people and becomes an element of degradation and destruction of the very essence of humanity. With the advent of the industrialization processes continuous concerns about the role of technology in people’s lives began to be expressed. The tone oscillated between criticism and appraisal and at times it became even messianic and apocalyptical. The main research questions and objectives of the article are revolving around three main pillars: 1) to problematize whether the technological process could be interpreted as an abolition of man (C.S. Lewis) or as a conspiracy against all interior life (G. Bernanos) that today might be echoed and illustrated in the various expressions of posthumanism; 2) to analyze technology through the lenses of ends and means, technology as an instrumentum and a way of revealing (Heidegger), to question the nature of ethics needed as an antidote and the imperative of responsibility (H. Jonas), and the potential of a technology with a human face (E. F. Schumacher); 3) to reflect on the possibilities of transcending transhumanism (F. Fukuyama) while (re)humanizing dehumanization.
