Autobiograficzna gra. O „Rozmowach w tańcu” Agnieszki Osieckiej

Author(s): Katarzyna Hanik / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2024

The aim of the article is to present a new perspective on reading autobiographical texts exemplified by Agnieszka Osiecka’s autobiography Rozmowy w tańcu. The study shows that it is extremely important for contemporary literary studies, especially for the study of autobiography, to look at texts through the concept of taboo. The context for the reflection is the author’s “autobiographical interview with herself”. The analysis presented here focuses on the form of dialogue with the poet’s alter ego employed as a strategy for playing with taboos. The narrative strategy chosen by Osiecka allows her to navigate a number of controversial topics and to create the appearance of sincerity and transparency, while maintaining full control over her story. In turn, her skilful handling of both word and form enables her to talk about difficult issues in a way that stays within her own boundaries, while at the same time meeting her readers’ expectations, by taking an interestingly different form that does not set clear genre markers for the writer (and therefore does not generate specific expectations from her readers). Ultimately, the article shows that playing with taboos leads to new narrative strategies that often determine the value of a given autobiographical text. The study falls within the field of literary studies and literary criticism.

„Wahrlich fuck you du Sau“ – Sprachliche Gewalt und Selbstermächtigung bei Lydia Haider

Author(s): Susanne Teutsch / Language(s): German Issue: 5/2023

The article deals with linguistic violence, the functions of swear words and their use in literature. It aims to show how cursing can be used as an act of self empowerment. Austrian writer Lydia Haider’s text Wahrlich fuck you du Sau, bist du komplett zugeschissen in deinem Leib drin. oder: Zehrung Reiser Rosi. Ein Gesang. Is aggressive, not fair, irrational and arbitrary in the sense of violence as violentia. A linguistic violence that becomes semantically blind. She rises above everything else escaping argument and control. But her language is also comedic. The higher it rises, the lower it falls, in the excessiveness there is a form of jubilation and, last but not least, (self-)irony.

Saturn i Eros. Radość jako forma samowiedzy

Author(s): Jakub Momro / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2024

The text attempts to show joy in the modern dialectic of knowledge and reification. Both components of this dialectic lead deeper into current problems with the legitimization of science. Melancholic knowledge, personified by such figures as Walter Benjamin or Theodor W. Adorno, is an extension of this primary tension in the instrumentalization of joy as an autarkic affect on the one hand, and a nominalist utopia and fetishism of immediacy on the other. In the article, “melancholic knowledge” is accompanied by two other types of joy: Kant’s ethics of the heart and Nietzsche’s “joyful knowledge”, both seemingly phenomenological, reaching the edge of joy as a condition of possibility or impossibility of life and knowledge. In this way, one can understand the tension that truly radicalizes joyful modernity – stretched between Saturn and Eros, between cognitive theory criticism and fairy tale.

О ДИФФУЗНОСТИ СЕМАНТИКИ КАК СВОЙСТВЕ ЛЕКСИКО-СЕМАНТИЧЕСКОЙ СИСТЕМЫ СТАРОРУССКОГО ЯЗЫКА

Author(s): Elena Vladimirovna Generalova / Language(s): Russian Issue: 7/2024

The purpose of the paper is to study the nature and features of semantic diffusivity in the Russian language of the XVI and the XVII centuries. The phenomenon of undifferentiation of several meanings in one context is actively researched on the basis of modern texts and is less studied in diachrony, although this phenomenon is found more frequently in Russian-language historical texts, thus having undoubted specificity. The basis for the study is formed by the Old-Russian-language texts of business and everyday content, in which, during the period of Moscow Rus, the living processes of formation of the future national Russian language took place. The reasons for the frequent phenomenon of diffusivity in the language of the XVI and the XVII centuries are the legacy of the Old Russian language, which was characterized by semantic syncretism, as well as the active process of polysemy formation in this period. A number of manifestations of semantic diffusivity in the Russian language of the XVI and the XVII centuries were identified: contexts with the combinations of insufficiently divergent meanings of future polysemantic words, non-segmentation of the semantic space of words, frequent ambiguity of phraseological units, the polyonymy of lexemes with concrete meaning manifested, on the one hand, through their ability to designate a number of similar objects and, on the other hand, through multiple nominations for specific subjects, the textual nature of synonymy complicated by morphological, word-formation, and lexical variability, the abundance of doublet names, the undifferentiated semantics of original words and derivatives. Thus, semantic diffusivity can be characterized as an essential, basic characteristic of the lexico-semantic system of the Old Russian language, and further consideration of semantic processes in the language of the period of initial formation of the national language is productive from this point of view.

Author(s): Nikolay Tsenkov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2024

The article aims to trace the impact that artificial intelligence has on the contemporary communication paradigm. The relationship between the “large language models” (LLM) and the speech, its sense and the current speech situation is investigated. Elucidation of this relation is revealed by suggesting answers related to the questions of whether artificial intelligence is an unprecedented phenomenon to speech; how artificial intelligence is integrated into a new speech situation; does artificial intelligence disrupt the unity between “word” and “sense”?

Aktivierung des mentalen Lexikons während des Sprachgebrauchs der deutschen Sprache bei Germanistikstudierenden – Alter als Einflussfaktor

Author(s): Joanna Franek-Zaborowska / Language(s): German Issue: 33/2024

The article asks the question about the influence of age on language behaviour of German studies students in the context of activation of the mental lexicon. The aim of the study conducted is to examine whether the age of the test persons has an effect on linguistic functioning with relation to German language. The changes that occur with age within mental processes are multidimensional and highly individualized. The lexical units of all languages that man has acquired, referred to as the mental lexicon, are distinguished by varying degrees of anchoring, which translates into the quality and quantity of language production.

САБЛАСТИ БУМЕРА: ГЕНЕРАЦИЈСКИ ИЛИ КЛАСНИ СУКОБ?

Author(s): Jelena Lalatović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 546/2024

Категорија идентитета већ деценијама функционише као један од основних аналитичких алата за истраживаче и критичаре. Њена употреба, уз самодопадну саморазумљивост која је најчешће прати, распрострањена је у тој мери да је свест о њеној историјској условљености, као и о теоријским и интерпретативним ограничењима, готово ишчилела. „Право на идентитет”, к томе и на његову одбрану и адекватну репрезентацију у култури и уметности, третира се као неприкосновено. Поред пословично угроженог, трауматског идентитета националних књижевности, нарочито у југословенским оквирима, моралистичка аргументација, која свој критички апарат заснива на реконструкцији одређене трансценденталне вредности, присутна је и у приступима које бисмо колоквијално означили као „прогресивне”, „ангажоване” и томе слично.

Вопросоответы к князю Антиоху Псевдо-Афанасия Александрийского в старообрядчеких рукописях

Author(s): Irina M. Gritsevskaya,Tatjana BrovkIna,Viacheslav V. Lytvynenko / Language(s): Russian Issue: 69-70/2024

This article examines the Pseudo-Athanasian Questions and Answers to Antiochus the Duke (Quaestiones ad Antiochum ducem; CPG 2257; hereinafter QAD) in Old Believer manuscripts. The authors provide a brief overview of the erotapocritic genre in Byzantine literature, the range of questions-and-answers in Greek and Slavonic texts, the contents of this work, and the textual division of the Slavonic translation of QAD into two groups of manuscripts. The article emphasizes the problem of the limited availability of manuscript evidence and notes that this is the first attempt to study QAD in the late Old Believer book tradition. The analysis of QAD is based on seventeen manuscripts from the North Russian Old Believer tradition, housed in the collections of the Repository of Old Documents at the Institute of Russian Literature, the Scientific Library of Pitirim Sorokin Syktyvkar State University, and the Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg. The study of the manuscript material allowed the authors to identify four different types of how QAD was used in Old Believer collections. Each of these types is discussed separately and illustrated with proper examples from manuscript material.

Preliminary remarks on the study of the Romanian ascetic miscellanies

Author(s): Daniar Mutalâp / Language(s): English Issue: 69-70/2024

This study highlights the links between the Romanian, South Slavic, and Greek ascetic miscellanies from a twofold perspective: sources involved (in translation and revision) and patterns of compilation (selection and order of texts). An introduction to ascetic literature in Romanian is offered, focusing on the flourishing of the genre of anthologies with mystical and ascetic content in the multi-ethnic and multilingual community of Paisius Velichkovsky (1722–1794). The case of the Romanian rendering of Capita de temperantia et virtute by Hesychius of Sinai is examined in comparison with the South Slavic translation (14th century) and the Greek text. The Romanian translator used a Greek source (ca. 1761/1763–1766), but also a South Slavic version (for revision), which led to the insertion of the Enarratio in prophetam Isaiam at the beginning of the eleventh chapter. The reliance on both the Greek and the Slavic tradition is detailed in the description of Rom MS BAR 2597 (1769), known as the Philokalia of Dragomirna. The source language of the writings gathered in this sbornik is mentioned (mostly Slavic, but also Greek), followed by a close look at some patterns of compilation which can be paralleled to South Slavic and Greek ascetic miscellanies with typical content. Careful attention is also paid to how the formula of the Jesus Prayer was written (ink and position on page) in the Romanian ascetic collections from the 18th century and in the South Slavic ascetic sborniks from the 14th century.
