Jezička prava u srpskoj civilnoj proceduri

Author(s): Dejan Janićijević / Language(s): English Issue: 7/2003

This Paper represents a critical analysis of the legislation pertaining to the use of native tongues of different ethnic groups in Serbian civil procedure. The differences between native tongues of the citizens of multinational countries, such as Serbia, can result in a wide range of problems referring to judicial protection of citizen's rights and interests in civil matters. For that reason, Serbian legislation provides for a variety of measures aimed at preventing inequality with respect to the realization of this public subjective right guaranteed by the Constitution. However, statutory provisions related to this issue have certain drawbacks, and one of the most apparent shortcomings inherent to these measures is that their scope is limited only to communities granted with the formal status of "National Minority". The purpose of this paper is to identify some of the legislative drawbacks, as well as to suggest possible ways to overcome them. Even though the suggested solutions to the identified problems differ, their underlying principle is the principle of equality of all the citizens, disregarding their nationality and irrespective of whether their native tongue is the official language of the court or not

THE DOMINANCE OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN THE EUROPEAN MULTILINGUAL MOSAIC THROUGH THE PRISM OF LINGUISTIC IDENTITY

Author(s): Saše Gerasimoski,Vesna Trajkovska / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2012

The last few decades marked the expansion of the English language and its promotion into a world lingua franca, i.e. language of international communication, within the process of linguistic globalization. It has become official language of numerous international institutions and organizations which inevitably imposed its knowledge as a precondition for interaction at international level. This dominant position of English can be viewed from two aspects. On the one hand, it satisfies the need of world-wide speakers for using a mutually intelligible language that would facilitate communication and make it more efficient, while on the other hand the supremacy of a single language may seriously threaten linguistic diversity and the status of “smaller” languages whose inferior position may eventually lead to their loss of functions and domains of use. The paper focuses on the implications for the multilingual balance in Europe arising from the dominant status of English, bearing in mind the significance of language as symbol of identity particularly for members of smaller language communities. It is the authors’ view that the spread of English might affect the linguistic map of Europe and that only through fostering and maintaining a multilingual environment the existence of individual linguistic identities and their mutual recognition and affirmation as well as celebration of linguistic differences and intercultural understanding can be achieved.

Postmodernistyczna "rzeczywistość" według Olega Bogajewa a ponowoczesne znamiona Nietzscheańskiej kultury

Author(s): Ewelina Cempa / Language(s): Polish Issue: 22/2012

The topic of the following article refers to the problem of postmodern vision of reality included in Oleg Bogajew dramaturgy. This reality in categories of the unrecognizable, degraded, deconstructed fits in Nietzsche’s perspective-dual concept of the modern world. ‘Modernism’ according to the philosopher’s thought, analyzed within postmodern boundaries constitutes for contemporary literary researchers a post-contemporary landmark in the research of cultural and social phenomena. Therefore, the considerations included in the paper based on the Nietzsche’s philosophy of the truth and cognition which due to its meaning is linked with a post-contemporary concept of modern culture is an attempt of an analysis of the condition of the man of our times, taking into account his life, background, attitude to reality in connection with tradition, culture and history.

Między utopią, mitem a historią alternatywną. "Moskwa Kwa-Kwa" Wasilija Aksionowa

Author(s): Andrzej Polak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 22/2012

The article is devoted to one of the last novels by W. Aksionow. The author of the article, pointing to the senses included in the work, makes use of three thematic categories Moskwa Kwa-Kwa was based on, namely the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur, a utopian project of Plato’s nation, and an alternative history. The action takes place in the capital of the Soviet Union in last years of Stalin’s ruling aiming at the creation of a new religion (New Phase). In Moscow, in the meantime, a decisive conflict between Stalin’s advocates and his enemy, Josip Broz Tito, a Yugoslavian ruler appears. The picture of Kiriłł Smielczakow, the main character of the novel, refers to the fate of Theseus, one of the key figures in the Ancient mythology in many respects. Kiriłł fights with two Minotaurs: Stalin and Tito at the same time. The structure of the Soviet nation and society presented in the article seems to owe Plato’s utopian vision.

DISCOURSE FUNCTIONS OF WORD ORDER CHANGES IN ENGLISH DECLARATIVE SENTENCES

Author(s): Biljana Mišić Ilić / Language(s): English Issue: 05/1998

Following the theoretical assumption that similarities in syntactic form may correspond to discourse-functional similarities in the use of those forms, English declarative sentences with non-subject initial elements were examined in their syntactic, textual, and pragmatic aspects. Parameters influencing discourse functions of such word order changes include syntactic ones, semantic and pragmatic ones, and semantic and textual ones. Taking discourse functions to be additional elements of meaning introduced in the propositional content of sentences with canonical word order and the contribution of such word order changes to the context in which the sentence is used, we identified two basic types: 1) pragmatic functions of achieving prominence and emphasis (creating two especially prominent positions in a sentence, initial and final, evoking a salient set the member of which is the entity denoted by the initial element, setting the theme or the "scene" of the sentence), and 2) textual ones, which chiefly deal with linking with the preceding and the following text and rearranging of elements within a sentence.

INTELEKTUALNI I MORALNI PROFIL JEDNE KRITIKE

Author(s): Muhamed Filipović / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 03/1977

Pišući, svojevremeno (1968. godine), izmeđuostalog i o shvatanjima nekih naših filozofa o društvenoj ulozi filozofije (- "Koncepcije naše filozofije o svojoj ulozi i odnosu u društvu- - Filozofija br. 1-2 Bgd, mart 1969. godine), a posebno o nastojanju grupe naših filozofa okupljenih oko časopisa "Praxisa da uvuku filozofiju u političke rasprave dnevnog karaktera i da je pretvore u oružje grupaške borbe za vlast i društveni uticaj, usput sam spomenuo i staro iskustvo da svagda, kada je filozofija poželjela da odlučuje o pitanjima neposrednog političkog života i da se nametne kao arbitar politici, a zatim i samom životu, to nije završilo dobro, ni za samu filozofiju, a posebno za protagoniste takvog angažmana filozofije u životu društva.) U tom kontekstu i kao primjer koji potvrđuje ovu tvrdnju, pomenuo sam i svima poznati slučaj, kada je tiranin Dionizije prodao Platona u roblje zbog toga što mu se nije sviđao Platonov prijedlog kako da se uredi idealna država, iako je takav prijedlog sam zatražio od svog prijatelja i učitelja Platona.

Mokomųjų leidinių kalba – vienas iš taisyklingos studentų kalbos veiksnių

Author(s): Angelė Kaulakienė / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 4/2007

Good knowledge of one‘s mother tongue is the feature of a cultured man. However, to introduce language into the process of cultural development of the future engineer efficiently will be possible only if this connection is grasped by those who organize and determine the system of training and education of students.As one may notice the language of educational or teaching publications under discussion is not always good enough: there are inaccurate uses of terms, vocabulary, grammar; style mistakes occur.The language of these publications would improve,if: a) authors and editors used standardized and unified terms given in Lithuanian dictionaries of terms; b) did not use translations of meaning or words as well as word combinations in improper meaning; c) avoided verb adverbial or substantival structures which darken the meaning.

Ekonomikos ir informatikos terminijos ypatumai

Author(s): Elvyra Vida Tadauskienė / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 4/2007

The article investigates the pecularities of economic and information terminology and concludes their original source. As economic terms turn out to have appeared earlier than those of information, so the beginning of the emergence of them was influenced by the Greek and Latin languages. During the Soviet period economic terms were under the influence of the Russian language. A lot of information terms originated from the English language so the dominance of this language is still greatly felt. The common language can be considered to be the original source of some of the mentioned terminology when expanding the meaning of adequate terms. Translation of some of the terms creates problems related to the synonymous meaning of the terms or certain variations of the vocabulary meanings.
