УЛОГА МЕДИЈА И КОНСТРУИСАЊЕ НЕГАТИВНЕ СЛИКЕ СРБИЈЕ У НЕМАЧКОМ МАГАЗИНУ „ШПИГЕЛ“ ТОКОМ НАТО БОМБАРДОВАЊА

Author(s): Anđela T. Vujošević / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 75/2021

In der Arbeit wird die Berichterstattung der deutschen Zeitschrift Spiegel während der NATO-Bombenangriffe auf die Bundesrepublik Jugoslawien im Jahr 1999 nach den Methoden der Diskursanalyse und der Theorien des kollektiven Gedächtnisses analysiert. Die Arbeit soll erklären, was unter dem Begriff kollektives Gedächtnis aus linguistischer Sicht zu verstehen ist, wofür Medientexte geeignet sind und inwieweit sie das kollektive Gedächtnis bestimmter Ereignisse aus der Vergan- genheit prägen, wie Wissen und negative Bilder vergangener Ereignisse durch die Medien konstruiert werden, sowie die Art und Weise, wie ein negatives Bild Serbiens in deutschen Zeitungsberichten des Nachrichtenmagazins DER SPIEGEL im Jahr 1999 konstruiert wurde. Die Hypothese der Arbeit lautet, dass das negative Bild Serbiens in der Berichterstattung des ausgewählten Magazins während des NATO-Bombenangriffs auf der Semantik des Lexems oder der sprachlichen Konstruktionen basiert, die im Diskurs auf Deutsch verwendet wurden.

Синтактичен правопис – слято и/или разделно писане. Когнитивни размисли

Author(s): Mariana Georgieva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2022

The explanation of merged and / or separate writing of words and phrases can only be achieved as a principled research position when the third axis in the coordinate system of language – the human consciousness, is taken into account. The syntactic orthographic principle explicitly introduces the cognitive approach, as the syntax expresses the cognitive need. This is a extremely sufficient justification for taking out of the vocabulary those supposedly complex words, but in fact word combinations, whose spelling is entirely and only syntactically justified – only separate writing.

Культурная информация в романе А. С. Пушкина «Евгений Онегин»: стратегии и способы ретрансляции в португальских переводах

Author(s): Vasilisa Danilova,Irina Tivyaeva / Language(s): Russian Issue: 3/2022

The paper focuses on identifying and methodizing key strategies and ways of rendering culture specific information in Portuguese translations of Eugene Onegin by Alexander Pushkin and aims at assessing their adequacy. Culture differences between Russia, Portugal, and Brazil provide grounds for cross-cultural barriers, the negative effect of which could be minimized if translation bridges the gap between the source and target cultural worlds. This research relies on culture specific lexical items known as ‘realia’ to examine how culture code is transferred in Russian-to-Portuguese translation of fiction. The study resulted in a new translation model providing an algorithm for rendering culture specific words. The model uses a complex of criteria that allow assessing equivalence and adequacy of items in the target language to those in the source language. Applying the model in the course of Russian-to-Portuguese translation will advance theoretically motivated decisions and contribute to the methodology of pre-translation fiction text analysis.

Към историята на една дума, въведена от Христо Ботев

Author(s): Dimitar Vesselinov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2022

The aim of the article is to present the history of a French loanword, introduced in Bulgarian language by the poet-publicist Hristo Botev. The research is within the realm of diachronic empruntology, viewed as a science for tracking interlanguage lexical transfers in their chronological order. The object of research is the lexeme "francophile", in the process of work the method of empruntological diachronic analysis being applied, which includes establishing the first text fixation of the french loan in standard Bulgarian language. The fate of the word in French and in Bulgarian languages is presented. Parallelly with this different derivative forms, which are compared to their Bulgarian counterparts. The results obtained allow for reconstruction of  Bulgarian language fate of the French lexical creation "francophile" in a formal and semantic perspective, allowing for comparison of connotative uses of the French loan word francophile.

Предикатите за състояние от гледна точка на фазисната деривация: българско-руски паралели

Author(s): Svetlozara Leseva,Marina Dzhonova,Elena Yu. Ivanova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2022

В статията се представят в съпоставителен план възможностите за образуване на инхоативни глаголи от предикатите за състояние в българския и руския език. Разглежданите словообразувателни модели са застъпени в много по-висока степен в българския език, но и в двата езика аспектологичните характеристики налагат съществени ограничения по отношение на съчетаемостта на глагола с префикс с начинателно значение. В българския език възможността за образуване на инхоативи от даден предикат може да послужи като надежден диагностичен тест за принадлежността му към дадена онтологична категория в рамките на семантичната типология на предикатите.

Тональные контуры русских да-нет-вопросов в условиях болгарской интерференции

Author(s): Tatiana Aleksieva / Language(s): Russian Issue: 4/2022

Просодия русского языка является самым сложным аспектом даже для выпускников болгарских университетов, изучающих русский язык. Цель настоящего доклада – проанализировать, какими тональными контурами болгарские учащиеся реализуют русские да-нет-вопросы. Материалом экспериментально-фонетического исследования явился небольшой корпус минидиалогов на русском и болгарском языках. В эксперимента принимало участие шесть носителей болгарского языка. Интонационные контуры и тональные акценты болгарских студентов сопоставлялись с образцами речи носителей языка. Записи обработаны акустически и нотированы вручную с помощью программы PRAAT с использованием ToRI. Результаты исследования позволяют спрогнозировать возможные отклонения от норм просодической системы изучаемого языка.

Author(s): Pavlina Petkova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2022

This paper outlines the most productive ways of word formation in the English language, focusing on the derivational field of the lexeme “wind”. Derivaties are also clustered according to different thematic groups, connotative meanings, American English usage, constituents of compound words and similarity in meaning. Special attention is paid to differences in theories and approaches to word-formation processes, to using the terms and inconsistencies in spelling of some of the derivatives according to different dictionaries and grammars.

Черният монах на Емилиян Станев и неговите готически събратя

Author(s): Ognyan Kovachev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2022

Emiliyan Stanev’s unfinished short novel The Black Monk still remains on the margins of his oeuvre, and also of research interest on the part of Bulgarian literary studies. On the other hand, the plot and the eponymous character fit it into a wide network of works by English, German, French, Russian and other authors, in the traditions of Gothic, Romanticism, Realism and their varieties, where the ‘Black Monk’ motif is a locus communis. I call the potential of such loci communes to form sets of works partially connected by separate, often contextually undetermined threads, polyvalent intertextuality. Comparing through it works by different authors, from different genres and nationalities, I come to the conclusion that their interaction can be described, in terms such as de- and reterritorialization (Deleuze and Guattari), as rhizomatic and gothic. This paper does not range over historical-philosophical, ethical, socio-political, etc. aspects of Stanev's work.

Мixed English-Bulgarian Inscriptions in Local Public Space

Author(s): Svetlana Atanassova / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2022

The article focuses on the process of mixing languages (translanguaging) in the public inscriptions of Veliko Turnovo. There are two main principles that presuppose the occurrence of mixed inscriptions and that structure the local landscape – the presentation-of-self principle and the good reasons principle. In this context translanguaged writing reflects the deliberate manipulation of the features of the two languages – English (in its variety as a global language) and Bulgarian (the local code) to produce hybrid language forms that evoke different connotations. The ethnographic analysis is carried out within the theoretical framework of Linguistic Landscaping Studies with a special focus on the indexability of the material world, code preference and feature analysis.

Българският език като обект на законодателни инициативи в началото на XXI в.

Author(s): Vladislav Marinov,Krasimira Vasileva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2022

The present study is the first one that aims to present a comparative analysis of the bills for the use of the Bulgarian language introduced in the Parliament since 2004. The conclusion reached as a result of the comparative analysis is that the texts of the bills have quite a lot in common rather than having differences in terms of both the main ideological positions and the weak points that prevented the adoption of such a law over the years. In addition to this, the conclusions impose the idea that a qualitatively new approach is needed in the drafting of the normative act– the law on the Bulgarian language should regulate a unified state language policy to protect the language as the basis of national identity and thus to encourage the development of education, science and culture in the Republic of Bulgaria.

On Bulgarian Dali-Questions and the Relation to the Subjunctive Mood

Author(s): Margarita Dimitrova / Language(s): English Issue: 5/2022

The subjunctive mood has been widely discussed from the perspective its selection in complements of volitional, directive and emotive-factive predicates (Picallo 1984, Raposo 1985, Ambar 1988, a.o.). Subjunctive questions and other type of subjunctive main clauses, on the other hand, have not been subject to much systematic research. Some works (Ambar 2016, Giannakidou 2016) suggest that, in main clauses, the selection of the subjunctive mood codifies the expression of the speaker’s evaluations. In line with this view, we discuss the syntactic expression of the Bulgarian dali-questions which do not consist in true requests for information but rather display a flavour of wondering encoded in the occurrence of dali and its morphological make up combining the subjunctive particle da and the interrogative particle li. Considering the properties of the Balkan subjunctive particles, we discuss the syntactic expression of Bulgarian dali-questions building on previous analyses of Bulgarian yes-no questions (Dimitrova 2020).

Сближаване и раздалечаване на балканските народи и техните езици

Author(s): Ilya Zlatanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2022

The article examines the interaction of the Balkan peoples in the composition of multinational empires. Widespread multilingualism and frequent switching from one language to another eventually led to the formation of the Balkan Linguistic Union. With the rise of national consciousness in the 19th century and the change of political configuration, the process of convergence of the Balkan languages was interrupted. Moreover, individual regional dialects of some languages, once united by a common name, took on a life of their own. But there is also a reverse process, languages artificially separated for political reasons are regaining their former integrity.

Турската кулинарна терминология в българския език. Исторически аспект

Author(s): Ilya Zlatanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2023

Bulgarian language through Turkish mediation. The Ottoman Turkish language contains a significant layer of Arabic and Persian vocabulary, which hasalso entered the Bulgarian language. Some of the Arabic vocabulary was inherited from Aramaic, the language of Jesus Christ, and from the Akkadian language of Babylon and Assyria, and Persian - from the language of the Zend Avesta. As a result, Bulgarian culinary terminology preserves an ancient heritage.

Basic Requirements for Characteristics of the Korean Language e-Textbook

Author(s): Lyudmila Voronina,Sergey Letun,Evgenia Rozenfeld / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2023

Rapid changes in the digital age making e-textbooks the key technical aid among electronic media are getting actively applied in education. A more specific image of the contemporary foreign language e-textbook is shaped by adding new characteristics to the list of the basic characteristics required. The article deals with determination of those characteristics of e-textbooks that will make their use more in demand for the study of languages, including Korean. The purpose of the article is to determine the main characteristics of a foreign language e-textbook as well as to analyze how they will reflect the specifics of the language in question and how exactly they will manifest themselves. The analytical study of e-textbook prototypes developed both practically and theoretically on the basis of criteria set for e-textbooks, the software being used and the research experience let the authors identify the mandatory minimum characteristics required for the foreign language e-textbook and compile the scheme for the distribution of the characteristics into groups. The results showed that the main requirement of a cross-cutting, primary nature for the entire set of e-textbooks under consideration is hyperconnectivity. The study allowed identifying linguodidactic and technological components of foreign language e-textbooks, as well as those of the Korean language e-textbook (a multimodal interactive dictionary) specifically, which are in a hyperconnected relationship with each other. Their introduction and implementation into specific software, a linguodidactic web constructor, will contribute to development of more sophisticated e-textbooks to be of high demand both among learners and teachers.

Speech Culture as a Component of Human Language Culture

Author(s): Gulnur Ahmadova / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

The article contains an analysis of the normative, communicative and ethical aspects of the culture of speech, which make up the modern concept of the phenomenon under consideration. According to the author’s definition, the culture of speech, along with the culture of reading, the culture of working with text, information culture, constitutes the structure of the individual’s language culture. Considering the problem of classifying the styles of the English language, the author considers it appropriate to derive the constructs ‘language of fiction’ and ‘colloquial speech’ from the list of styles of the English language, identifying them as functional varieties of the language. In addition, taking into account the realities of modern society, the author proposes to expand the range of functions of speech communication through the function of forming one’s own image, the educational function, the function of adaptation to the conditions of speech interaction in the virtual world, etc.
