The first paper works within the framework of etymology: Davide ASTORI explores the Romanian word tabără in which he identifies the base of a possible pre-Indo- European root coming from the Balkans, possibly spreading out from there. The following two papers are circumscribed to the field of languages in contact: Sandra STEFANOVIC and Alina-Andreea DRAGOESCU analyse the impact of Anglicisms on the Serbian and Romanian of advertising, while Mariya TSIPLE and Virginia OPRISA focus on the Hungarian influence on the Romanian vocabulary of two Romanian historical provinces – Maramureş and Banat. Milica MILOJEVIŠ deals with morphology shedding light on issues of word formation in connection with nouns comprising the suffix -izacija in the Serbian of press. The following six papers work within the framework of applied linguistics. Mohd Sallehhudin Abd AZIZ writes about the implementation and monitoring of the ReCEP Experiment (an experiment using residential colleges as an experimentation bed that would transform the passive learning of English into active language use in designated English areas) and also discusses its effectiveness and efficiency. Diana-Andreea BOC- SINMARGHITAN and Ioana BANADUC focus on the teaching of toponyms in French language classes. Jelena DANILOVIŠ and Sandra STEFANOVIŠ attempt to provide an insight into students‘ errors of word formation, in terms of inappropriate word classes or word forms. Tatjana ĐUROVIŠ and Nadeţda SILAŠKI show, in their paper, that teaching genre-specific lexis and grammar at tertiary level helps students of economics focus on those aspects of lexical and syntactic forms that are relevant to their future professional settings and field of expertise. Marija MIJUŠKOVIŠ outlines a research study intended to identify effective learning strategies in the second language classroom and to determine how these strategies can be taught and learned by students who have already begun their second language studies. Ivana ZORICA, Tamara GAJIŠ and Nina ĐURICA research the market for the German language, more precisely its use and significance in the educational system for tourism and economy students. The final papers are circumscribed to the field of multilingualism: Cosmina Simona LUNGOCI deals with francophony in the Romanian theatre of the 19th century, while Davide ASTORI deals with the reality of the 23 official languages spoken in the European Union of the 21st century. We would like to thank all authors and reviewers for their valuable contributions. Georgeta Raţă, PhD Editor Journal of Linguistic Studies 111 112 RUMANIAN TABǍRǍ T AND „AEGEAN-(PRE)PHILISTINE‟ * /D(A)BR DAVIDE ASTORI University of Parma, Italy [email protected] ABSTRACT Starting from a previous etymological proposal of Greek λαβύρινθος and taking into consideration some toponyms, present in the European continent, from the eastern Tabor (mountain in Galilee) to the western Távora (river in the Iberian peninsula), this paper aims at identifying in Rom tabǎrǎ the base of a possible pre- Indo-European root coming from the Balkans, possibly spreading out from there. Keywords: Labyrinth; Mount Tabor; Nostratic; Indo-European 1. INTRODUCTION As you can read in Ciorǎnescu (2002: 766, entry nr. 8424), the etymology of tabǎrǎ is obscure and controversial: Tc. sau mai probabil tǎt. tabur (J. Melich, Ung. Jb., XV, 529-40; Vasmer, III, 66), parţial prin intermediul sl. taborŭ (Miklosich, Slaw. Elem., 48; Tiktin, Candrea), cf. bg., sb., cr., slov., ceh., pol., rus. tabor, mag. tábor. [Turkish or most probably Tattar tabur (J. Melich, Ung. Jb., XV, 529-40; Vasmer, III, 66), partially through Slavic taborŭ (Miklosich, Slaw. Elem., 48; Tiktin, Candrea), cf. Bulgarian, Serbian, Croatian, Slovenian, Czech, Polish, Russian tabor, Hungarian tábor] While discussing the etymology of Greek λαβύρινθος, meaning ‗endroit où il y a des galeries creusées ou des couloirs couverts‘ [place with bored tunnels or covered passages]1, I proposed, in Astori 2008: 173, to connect the Romanian term to a √ dbr to be found on the one hand in Hebrew debîr ‗sancta sanctorum (of the Temple of 2 Jerusalem)‘, on the other in ―minoic‖ du-pu2-re. Under these circumstances, I pointed out possible survivals of this ancient root in other Greek words (λαύρα, λάβρσς and θεράπνη), finally mentioning the possibility of a relationship with Rom. tabǎrǎ: Ulteriore fascinosa provocazione potrebbe allora anche rappresentare il romeno tabǎrǎ (macedoromeno tǎbure, meglenoromeno tǎbur), rappresentante di un termine migrante nell‘intera regione balcanica e più probabilmente derivante – ciò che si fa ancor più interessante per la via qui in tracciamento – da un turco o tataro tabur: il significato (legato a un ambito semantico primariamente locale – di ‗Wohnort‘ nell‘uso del Kretschmer – di ‗accampamento, insediamento‘) e l‘origine anatolica parrebbero offrire un ulteriore, minimo tassello all‘intricato quadro in questa sede proposto. [Rom. tabǎrǎ (macedoromanian tǎbure, meglenoromanian tǎbur) might constitute another fascinating challenge. In fact, it represents a migrant word in the entire Balkan region and – even more interestingly for this study – it comes 113 from Turkish or Tatar tabor. Its meaning (linked to a primarily local semantic field – ‗Wohnort‘, in Kretschmer‘s usage – signifying ‗camp, settlement‘) and the Anatolian origin seems to offer another very small element in the tangled account here proposed. ] This etymological proposal (just alluded there) presumed consequently – in concordance with the semantics more in general, and with good phonetic evolution approximations – a connection with a root clearly related to Semitic attestations but in a relationship with them difficult to determine, which points to a possible more general climate of a socio-cultural koiné of the eastern Mediterranean.3 2. DISCUSSION More evidence for this hypothesis can be found in two Slavic attestations: - Serbian tabor, in its primary meaning of ‗enclosure‘; - Serbian torba, with an evident metaphonia, which – in the meaning of ‗bag‘ – reinforces the significance already found in the locative macrosemantic here identified for λαβύρινθος. As far as toponymy is concerned, there are interesting demonstrations, such as Tábor4, a bohemian town, mount Tabor in the isle of Ischia5, and the river Távora in present-day Portugal6. More or less directly, all of these denominations have to do with mountain areas or relieves. Particularly important to this research is Mount Tabor (Hebrew: , Greek: Όρος Θαβώρ)7 shown in Fig. 1. Due to its presence in the biblical tradition8, – it is an ancient and relevant case – it is a particular object of analysis. The belief that the name of the mountain (on which, by tradition, Christ was transfigured) is linked to Hebrew tabbūr ‗navel‘9 is clearly a paretymology, related to the highly symbolic value of the mountain10. The Mount Tabor case would be fit for the hypothesis above outlined, giving an extra proof of its reliability. As for the labyrinth, Sarullo‘s very recent study (2008) 43 remarks: Dall‘analisi delle fonti, qui riportate, emerge che con il termine ‗labirinto‘ venivano indicati edifici dalla pianta articolata e complessa che condividevano ―a subterranean and gloomy character‖11.

  • 1 Constructed Language and Linguistic Theory Marc Van Oostendorp To
    Constructed language and linguistic theory Marc van Oostendorp To appear in: Klaus Schubert (ed.) Planned language: From plan to reality. Association Belgique de Linguistique Appliquée, 2000. 0. Introduction ‘Natural language’ is arguably the most central concept within linguistic theory —it defines its object of study —, but it is hardly ever discussed outside the first pages of introductory textbooks. It is usually taken for granted that everybody knows what the label means, and that it can be applied to American English, Yidiny and Eastern Javanese, but not to tonal music, the programming language Prolog, or the languages of the Elves in the novels of J.R.R. Tolkien. Many interlinguists — those scholars concerned with the study of consciously planned languages meant for international communication — follow this line of reasoning to some extent, if they defend the validity of their interest in Esperanto (cf. Schubert 1989, Tonkin and Fettes 1996 for fairly recent overviews). They argue that Esperanto is markedly different from other planned languages, because it has been used in a much wider range of communicative situations, because it has become associated with a separate ‘Esperantist culture’, or because it is learnt by children as one of their native languages. For this reason, Esperanto would have started to differ from its competitors: it would be the only ‘language project’ that has succeeded in becoming a ‘real (natural) language’. This line of argumentation is examined in this article. I study the relevance of some planned or constructed languages other than Esperanto, viz. Interlingua, Ido, Europanto and Spocanian. These have been made up in slightly different ways, all serve different goals and different philosophies have guided the construction of their respective grammars.

  • A Millennium of Migrations: Proto-Historic Mobile Pastoralism in Hungary
    Bull. Fla. Mus. Nat. Hist. (2003) 44(1) 101-130 101 A MILLENNIUM OF MIGRATIONS: PROTO-HISTORIC MOBILE PASTORALISM IN HUNGARY Ldsz16 Bartosiewiczl During the A.D. 1st millennium, numerous waves of mobile pastoral communities of Eurasian origins reached the area of modern- day Hungary in the Carpathian Basin. This paper reviews animal exploitation as reconstructed from animal remains found at the settlements of Sarmatian, Avar/Slavic, and Early ("Conquering") Hungarian populations. According to the historical record, most of these communities turned to sedentism. Archaeological assemblages also manifest evidence of animal keeping, such as sheep and/or goat herding, as well as pig, cattle, and horse. Such functional similarities, however, should not be mistaken for de facto cultural continuity among the zooarchaeological data discussed here within the contexts of environment and cultural history. Following a critical assessment of assemblages available for study, analysis of species frequencies shed light on ancient li feways of pastoral communities intransition. Spatial limitations (both geographical and political), as well as a climate, more temperate than in the Eurasian Steppe Belt, altered animal-keeping practices and encouraged sedentism. Key words: Central European Migration, environmental determinism, nomadism, pastoral animal keeping Zoarchaeological data central to this paper originate from Data used in this study represent the lowest common settlements spanning much of the A.D. 1st millennium denominator of the three different

  • Southern Hungary and Serbia in Al-Idrisi's Geography
    Trivent Publishing Available online at http://trivent-publishing.eu/ Voyages and Travel Accounts in Historiography and Literature, vol. 1 DOI: 10.22618/TP.HMWR.2020VTA1.348.005 Southern Hungary and Serbia in al-Idrisi’s Geography Boris Stojkovski1 The reign of the Norman Sicilian King Roger II (1130-1154) represented a significant rise for the Norman Kingdom. In their foreign policy, the Normans clashed for dominance in the Mediterranean with the Byzantine Empire, whereas internally, an economically stable, ethnically and religiously mixed country was being established. The Norman Kingdom owed its economic rise, above all, to the grain trade. In the time of Roger II and his successors in Sicily, the international trade in agricultural products was highly developed, first of all concerning grain, but also salted meat and commodities. Trading was most frequently done with Tunisia, and the Normans had an international trade treaty with Egypt.2 The kings of Sicily, especially Roger II, supported learned men of Greek or Arab descent. For example, the Greek scholar Eugenio resided on the island and was for some time involved in the Sicilian king’s administration work, while he also translated Ptolemy’s Optics from Arabic into Latin. Therefore, apart from his native Greek, he also spoke Arabic and Latin, the three most important languages in Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Orient at the time.3 Furthermore, also in Sicily, Enrico, named Aristippus after Socrates’ disciple, translated works from Greek into Latin. He translated Plato’s dialogues Meno and Phaedrus.4 1 University of Novi Sad, Serbia. 2 For more details on Norman economy, see an excellent overview by David Abulafia, ’’The crown and the economy under Roger II and his successors,” in Italy, Sicily and the Mediterranean 1100-1400 (London: Variorum, 1987), 1-14.

  • The Frequency of the Years in Which Big Waters and Floods
    Review of Historical Geography and Toponomastics, vol. I, no.1, 2006, pp. 89-106 A HISTORY OF ABOUT 300 YEARS OF HIGH WATERS AND HYDROTECHNIC CONSTRUCTIONS IN BANAT (I) Martin OLARU ∗ West University of Timişoara, Department of Geography, Blv. V. Pârvan, No.4, 300223, Timişoara, Romania, e-mail: Abstract. This study is a synthesis on three centuries of hidrotechnical managements and high levels of rivers in Banat, including four distinct periods for the floodings which produced great damages: 1700-1876; 1877-1949; 1950-1972 and 1973-2005. It was also important the flooding from April 14th –30th 2005 in the hydrographical basin Timiş-Bega. Analyzing the frequency and the amplitude of the floodings in time, it can be concluded that these are in a continuous increase. The defend against floodings, the management and the dams, the whole history of the big hydrographical and navigation works could be grouped in the following stages: (a) From the beginning of the 18th century till the 1848-1849 Revolution; (b) From 1848-1849 Revolution till year 1871; (c) From 1871 till the First World War; (d) The Interwar period; (e) From the Second World War till 1989 Revolution; (f) 1990-2005. As in all EU countries which had to cope with floodings, in Banat as well it must be applied the new concept «more space for rivers», building dams at longer distances than the river banks. Rezumat. Lucrarea sintetizează cele trei secole de amenajări hidrotehnice şi ape mari din Banat, grupând în patru mari perioade distincte marile viituri, care au produs pagube însemnate locuitorilor acestei provincii istorice: 1700-1876; 1877-1949; 1950-1972 şi 1973-2005.
