Vjerničko srce je prijestolje Svemilosnog

Author(s): Seyyed Hossein Nasr / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 35-36/2007

Srce je središte mikrokosmičke dimenzije ljudskoga bitka i istodobno centar fizičkog tijela, životne energije, ljudskih emocija i duše i sjedinjujući prostor ljudskog i nebeskog kraljevstva u kojemu obitava Božiji Duh. Kako je značajna ta bit srca koja se iz ovozemaljskog pogleda na svijet čini sićušnom, a unatoč tomu, na osnovu Poslanikove predaje, ipak čini Prijestolje Boga Svemilosnoga, obuhvatajući i smirujući u sebi cijeli univerzum. U drugoj predaji se također navodi da: “Ni nebesa a ni zemlja Me ne obuhvataju, ali Me obuhvata srce Moga roba.”

Pravda i pravednost kao tema hrišćansko-islamskog dijaloga

Author(s): Marko P. Đurić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 35-36/2007

What the author has to say about justice, primarily as a believer, is necessarily based on the Bible and the Qur’an. But since, in his view, without justice there cannot be even that which is often more important than justice itself, the believer’s social commitment exhausts itself in the struggle for justice.

Komparative Phraseme aus korpuslinguistischer und lexikographischer Sicht

Author(s): Věra Hejhalová / Language(s): German Issue: 2/2014

The phrases with the comparators wie or als are quite frequent in German and can be classified in a number of ways. One of the primary groups are phraseological comparisons. Their inclusion in a dictionary depends on their nature, frequency and the type of the respective dictionary. It is argued here that lexicographic description of these phrases is to be leant on empirical data as offered by large electronic corpora.

Den kristne symbolik i Martin A. Hansens roman Løgneren

Author(s): Radka Slouková / Language(s): German Issue: 2/2014

Martin A. Hansen’s novel The Liar (1950) is one of the most frequently analyzed works in Danish literature. Nevertheless, one cannot find many studies which have systematically dealt with its Christian symbols. This article analyzes in detail the Christian meaning of names, numbers and the central symbol of woodcock in The Liar. The author of the article also points out the role these symbols play in the text: they reinforce its Christian-existentialist dimension and significantly contribute to the fact that the novel can be viewed as a demonstration of the writer’s conviction of the importance of faith in God.

Deutsch-tschechische Übersetzungswörterbücher und deren Außentexte – Wortbildung des Deutschen im Fokus

Author(s): Martin Šemelík / Language(s): German Issue: 2/2014

The present paper discusses the importance of word formation in foreign language teaching and learning and the status of outer texts of bilingual dictionaries as foreign language learning tools. It is argued that (a) due to its prominent role in the process of language acquisition, the word formation should be (more substantially) incorporated into foreign language teaching approaches, at least at an advanced level of language proficiency, and that (b) outer texts of bilingual dictionaries should not be treated as 185 of merely cosmetic value. Instead, they should be utilized, among other things, for accomodation of information on word formation related phenomena. This information provided in outer texts of two relatively recent German-Czech dictionaries is examined here. The analysis focuses on word formation as linguistic discipline, word formation processes, patterns, products, paradigma, word forming elements and German-Czech contrastive view on respective phenomena. It is revealed that the dictionaries under examination show considerable weaknesses in respect to both quality and quantity of information provided. It is suggested that the time is ripe for rethinking the role of outer texts in current German-Czech dictionaries or, more exactly, for a fundamental change in the whole field of German-Czech lexicography.

Consumptie en consumentisme in het recente Nederlandse proza

Author(s): Lucie Sedláčková / Language(s): German Issue: 2/2014

The article deals with the contemporary literary discourse about globalization and focuses especially on its economic aspect as it manifests itself in the life of the western citizen, that is to say as consumption, or possibly, as consumerism. During the current wave of globalization, roughly since the beginning of the nineties of the twentieth century, this broad and multi-layered term has been used mainly in the economic sense, and the attention has been paid especially to the negative consequences for the inhabitants of the whole world. The theoretical part of this article is based on specialized, particularly sociological literature and focuses on what it nowadays means to be a consumer. It presents the different kinds of consumers, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, the characteristics of the consumer society as utopia/ dystopia, Ritzer’s McDonaldization etc. The other part analyzes the representations of these phenomena, connected with consumption and consumerism of the globalized world, in selected fiction by Dutch and Flemish authors: Gimmick! by Joost Zwagerman, the trilogy Toast by Paul Mennes, De general met de zes vingers by Yasmine Allas and Het derde huwelijk by Tom Lanoye. The aim is to sketch out the image of the contemporary consumer’s life that is represented and accentuated by the selected novels.

„Ein Mekka für Konkretisten“ – Tschechische und internationale experimentelle Dichtung in Prag 1958–1968

Author(s): Astrid Winter / Language(s): German Issue: 2/2014

This paper deals with the diverse phase of multinational mutual literary exchanges in 1960s Prague, which has been only rarely covered by the German-speaking history of literature and comparative literature because of its informal nature. The article focuses on the connections between Czech experimental poetry and international visual, concrete and sound poetry in Czechoslovakia. With its roots in the criticism on the doctrine of socialist realism and the quasi-schizophrenic use of language in the communist Czechoslovakia, the ability to manipulate the poetic word became the topic of Czech independent literature in the late 1950s. In the decade prior the Warsaw Pact invasion in 1968, innovative and occasionally bizarre poetic forms and projects crossing the bridge between different types of media, types of art and literary genres were created, based on the word analysis conducted by philosophy of language and linguistics. Whilst the first creators of experimental poetry Jiří Kolář (1914–2002) and Ladislav Novák (1925–1999) were still rather untouched by the international development of the concrete poetry in the late 1950s, the more recent authors Josef Hiršal (1920–2003) and Bohumila Grögerová (born 1921) tried to overcome the cultural isolation in the early 1960s, getting in touch with German, Austrian and subsequently French, Italian, English and Brazilian writers. In a relatively liberal age, a branched international network was created, with Prague as its integrating centre.

Genuscongruentieverschijnselen binnen de Nederlandse NP

Author(s): Jan Pekelder / Language(s): German Issue: 2/2014

Since Paardekooper (1956, 1962, 1986), Klein (1977) and Van den Berg (1979), it has been assumed that in metaphorical NPs like dieDet1 schatN1 van een jongenN2 (that treasure of a boy), N1 and N2 agree in gender (de schat and de jongen) if Det1 is a gender marker. The explanation for this observation has been sought in the syntactic structure of the NP. Det1 is not a modifier of N1 only, such as in non-metaphorical NPs like eenDet1 zoonN1 van een buurmanN2 (a son of a neighbour), but of the whole NP. In this contribution, we hope to make it plausible that there might be a more adequate explanation based on semantic factors.
