О двоякой роли письменности Великого княжества Литовского в межславянских языковых контактах

Author(s): Ludmila Harbul / Language(s): Russian Issue: 2/2017

The paper deals with the twofold role of the written language of the Great Duchy of Lithuania in inter-Slavonic, mainly Polish–Russian language contacts, based on the material of diplomatic correspondence of Muscovy. The author summarizes the research data proving that the written language of the Great Duchy of Lithuania played the role of an active mediator in the 15th–17th centuries in Polish–Russian language contacts and it was a source of lexical and semantic borrowings in the Russian written language and in the Polish written language. What is more, the paper examines anew some lexical borrowings from the written language of the Great Duchy of Lithuania in the Russian Chancery language of the 17th century as well as in the Polish language: golosovati /galasovati ‘cry, make a noise; make a hubbub’, navyklyj ‘accustomed to, habitual’ and futor /chutor ‘small settlement; khutor (separated farm)’.

Паратекстуальные полонизмы в Псалтыри 1683 г. в переводе Аврамия Фирсова

Author(s): Ludmila Harbul / Language(s): Russian Issue: 2/2015

This paper is intented to analyze the lexical and semantic Polonisms identified in “The Translator’s Explication” and “The Preface to the Reader”, which precede the text of the Psalter 1683 in the translation of A. Firsov. The publication deals with 29 lexemes, with 18 of them being lexical borrowings. In two cases, they are not direct borrowings (cf. глупый and читатель), but, most probably, are the result of the stimulating influence of the Polish language. According to the author, 11 words under analysis can be called semantic Polonisms. The paper also defines the role of the written language of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the process of the borrowing of these lexical elements. On the basis of the results of the analysis of the corpus, the author also touches upon the question of the translator’s personality, which has remained debatable up to the present day.

Názory Sama Czambela na niektoré fenomény slovensko-maďarských a maďarsko-slovenských jazykových kontaktov

Author(s): Mária Žiláková / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 1/2013

Samu Czambel established his theoretical knowledge while studying with the most famous contemporary Slavists. He attended O. Asbóth’s lectures at the university in Pest, F. Mikosich’s and V. Jagić’s readings in Vienna, and M. Hattala’s lectures in Prague. After graduating he got work as a legal translator at the Hungarian Ministry of Home Affairs. He became perfectly bilingual and gained a practical attitude during his work that he went deeply into when collecting Slovak dialects in the country. In the center of his interest was to define the place of the Slovak language within the Slavic language group. He considered important to research the Slovak–Hungarian as well as Hungarian–Slovak language contacts, especially the borrowing of words but – while studying phraseology – he also dealt with morphological and syntactic phenomena. He approached the phenomenon of bilingualism in a sensitive way, and he raised several problems when referring to the Middle Slovak language area and Palots dialects. These problems are to be cleared even today. Considering the importance of Slovak– Hungarian and Hungarian–Slovak language contacts, Samu Czambel formulated the need for a relatively big bilingual dictionary.

Вариативность падежных форм имен существитель- ных в словацком литературном языке конца XIX в.

Author(s): Konstantin V. Lifanov / Language(s): Slovak,Russian Issue: 1/2009

This paper focuses on variation of substantive forms used in the end of 19th century in the Slovak literary language and its nature. Some of them were present in Ľ. Štúr’s codification yet, but others penetrated into Slovak literary language later. There were diverse sources of forming variation: previous codification of Slovak literary language, West Slovak dialect, Central Slovak dialect, Czech language, etc. Such variety of homonymic forms was superfluous and it was abolished in consequence of S. Czambel’s codification.

О плане венгерско-польского словаря Гиадора Стрипского

Author(s): István UDVARI / Language(s): Russian Issue: 1-2/2002

Hiador Sztripszky is known to the Hungarian scientific world as a bibliographer, as an ethnographer and as a literary historian. However, little is known about his linguistic and belletristic works. His interests for scientific work were formed in the Ferenc József University in Kolozsvár and later in the museum of this town. As a student of the Ferenc József University in Kolozsvár he spent the winter semester of 1897/98 in Lemberg (Lviv/Lwów/Lvov). Later he worked as a court interpreter of Russian, Rusyn, Slovak and Polish. Studying Hiador Sztripszky’s works about Ruthenian philology I ended up in Nagyszombat (Trnava) in the Literary archive of the St. Adalbert society where his posthumous papers are kept. In this collection, which unfortunately was kept for a long time under unsatisfactory conditions resulting in the loss of many manuscripts, I found an unfinished plan of a Hungarian-Polish dictionary which he started to write in the 1920s. Being an interpreter he must have felt the practical necessity of such a dictionary and as a philologist he fully understood that it would be a bridge between the two languages and cultures.

Динамика лексической и фразеологической сочетаемости в чешском языке

Author(s): Oleg Fedoszov / Language(s): Russian Issue: 1-3/2003

The paper focuses on aspects of word relations in verbo-nominal collocations in Czech, based on the names of some emotions. In case of Czech I used the material from The Czech National Corpus (ČNK/SYN2000) only. Theoretical fundament of my research is based on conceptions of phraseology and semantics of D. O. Dobrovoljskij and Fr. Čermák. Collocations are usually considered between free word combinations and idioms and they are generally studied in phraseology. According to my opinion, however, if collocations are only studied by phraseologists they are viewed as lexical anomalies. The results of my research show that they are regular word combinations and are only one way of nominations among other usual methods. In case of collocations the following question might arise if usage of their components is semantically motivated by the meaning of the words or not. The results based on the corpus which are frequency-oriented show that word combinations are always semantically motivated. In my opinion, however, if a certain noun expressing an emotion needs to be combined with a verb, semantic motivation is not predestinated but both the noun and the verb are able/must modify their meanings in order to express a necessary content.

Rozumienie i stosowanie wybranych paronimów przez studentów i absolwentów Politechniki Gdańskiej oraz Uniwersytetu Gdańskiego – wyniki ankiety internetowej

Author(s): Daria Róg / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2017

Frequently confused words or so-called ‘paronyms’, when they are used in everyday communication, can be challenging for native speakers of Polish. Sometimes language users find it difficult to decide which word they should choose in a given context. There are also situations in which speakers make unconscious errors in the use of a word, assuming that its meaning is exactly what they expect it to be and that the specific word is appropriate in a given situation. Inaccurate usage of paronyms is a perennial problem that language users face daily. This paper presents the results of a questionnaire-based survey on the understanding and use of paronyms conducted among students and graduates of Gdańsk University of Technology and the University of Gdańsk. The study was conducted online in March 2017. On the basis of the collected data, the present author attempted to describe issues related to the phenomenon of paronymia and mistakes made in everyday communication of educated speakers of Polish.

Author(s): Miłosz Babecki / Language(s): Polish Issue: 20/2013

Taken as multifunctional tool, branding is nowadays ready to use not only for material products or various services. Firstly used during the process of territorial marketing, it was also claimed to be appropriate strategy to empower image of languages. This kind of concept leads the theorists to the point when they need to transform their thinking about products. According to this, this article should be also considered as a study in which the author explains in what way Polish language came to be a product in the opinions of young Poles. The essence of the study is dedicated to particular part of branding – parallel image, and particular kind of medium – the Internet. The author gives examples of shaping the image of Polish language in parallel style. In conclusion, he attempts to explain why internet users – so called “vulgarians” – make Polish brand weaker by exposing vulgar, brutal and non-official vocabulary – hate speech, why they search for names and phrases appropriate to express only negative emotions and finally, why they teach it to foreigners.

CATEGORIZATION OF FOREIGNER GROUPS BY THEIR LABELING (BASED ON THE ANALYSIS OF THE POLISH PRESS DISCOURSE)

Author(s): Grażyna Zarzycka / Language(s): English Issue: 19/2012

This socio-cultural analysis will be focused on defining logical criteria serving the authors of press articles for labeling different ethnic groups connected with the School of Polish for Foreigners at the University of Łódź who live in Dormitory No. 14 (the so-called ‘Babel Tower of Łódź’, i.e. BTŁ). Also, the naming strategies applied in the description of dark-skinned people and the press image of foreign students’ residence will be discussed, as embodied in conventionalized expressions and metaphors. The collection of press texts consists of 150 articles written between 1989–2003 such as news, reports, and essays in which the main or subordinate topic is either the inhabitants of the Babel Tower of Łódź or the Babel Tower itself. This analysis shows that journalists, by repeating the same patterns of labeling ethnic groups, are most responsible for producing negative mental scripts in the readers’ minds.
