European historical determinism in the Balkans has seriously influenced the Macedonian people’s historical destiny. In the history of the Macedonian people the “historic” period ended with the signing of the 1913 Treaty of Bucharest and the “prehistoric” period began. The negative Greek historical determinism severely harmed the Macedonian people’s historical destiny in Greek occupied Macedonia. With Greece’s appearance on the historical terrain of Greek occupied Macedonia, the Greek political historical determinism, with its exclusive Greek nationalism, put in question the Macedonian people’s biological existence. The Greek political factor began its genocidal policy against the Macedonian people in Greek occupied Macedonia with a Greek desire to create “one state with one nation”. The subject of this paper is in fact about the outcome of that desire which resulted in expulsions, oppression and assimilation of the Macedonian population, colonization of Macedonian lands with non- Macedonians (Greek and non-Greek), resistance against the affirmation of Macedonian national and cultural values, political mistreatment of the “Macedonian National Question” especially by the Communist Party of Greece (CPG), and other forms of mistreatment the Greek state applied against the Macedonian people living inside Greece. We should emphasize at this point that we ran into objective difficulties while researching our material for the book “Greek occupied Macedonia (1913-1989)”. The archives of the neighbouring countries which undoubtedly hold precious historical information (especially the Greek ones), and which would have allowed us access to comprehensive, purposeful and objective information on this issue, were inaccessible to us. 6 In the absence of archival information from the neighbouring countries, more attention was paid to published archival sources, especially the Macedonian archives, and other relevant historical literature. We strived, within the existing possibilities, to objectify the historical past of the Macedonian people from Greek occupied Macedonia, a people who, like no one else, suffered as much in peace as they did in wars... The author 7 CHAPTER ONE - NATIONAL STRUCTURE OF THE POPULATION IN GREEK OCCUPIED MACEDONIA AT THE BEGINNING OF THE XX CENTURY (1900 - 1913) The population that lived in Greek occupied Macedonia was of varying ethnicities, church affiliations, and varied in numbers. There is extensive and diverse literature on its numbers and ethnicities. With a desire to justify their territorial claims on Macedonia, these

  • The Making of Yugoslavia's People's Republic of Macedonia 377 Ward the Central Committee of the Yugoslav Communist Party Hardened
    THE MAKING OF YUGOSLAVIA’S PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA Fifty years since the liberation of Macedonia, the perennial "Ma­ cedonian Question” appears to remain alive. While in Greece it has deF­ initely been settled, the establishment of a "Macedonian State” within the framework of the People’s Federal Republic of Yugoslavia has given a new form to the old controversy which has long divided the three Balkan States, particularly Yugoslavia and Bulgaria. The present study tries to recount the events which led to its founding, the purposes which prompted its establishment and the methods employed in bringing about the tasks for which it was conceived. The region of Southern Yugoslavia,' which extends south of a line traversed by the Shar Mountains and the hills just north of Skopje, has been known in the past under a variety of names, each one clearly denoting the owner and his policy concerning the region.3 The Turks considered it an integral part of their Ottoman Empire; the Serbs, who succeeded them, promptly incorporated it into their Kingdom of Serbs and Croats and viewed it as a purely Serbian land; the Bulgarians, who seized it during the Nazi occupation of the Balkans, grasped the long-sought opportunity to extend their administrative control and labeled it part of the Bulgarian Father- land. As of 1944, the region, which reverted to Yugoslavia, has been known as the People’s Republic of Macedonia, one of the six federative republics of communist Yugoslavia. The new name and administrative structure, exactly as the previous ones, was intended for the purpose of serving the aims of the new re­ gime.

  • An Introduction, Phonological, Morphological, Syntactic to The
    AN INTRODUCTION, PHONOLOGICAL, MORPHOLOGICAL, SYNTACTIC, TO THE GOTHIC OF ULFILAS. BY T. LE MARCHANT DOUSE. LONDON: TAYLOR AND FRANCIS, RED LION COURT, FLEET STREET. 1886, PRINTED BY TAYLOR AND FRANCIS, BED LION COURT, FLEET STREET. PREFACE. THIS book was originally designed to accompany an edition of Ulfilas for which I was collecting materials some eight or nine years ago, but which various con- siderations led me to lay aside. As, however, it had long seemed to me equally strange and deplorable that not a single work adapted to aid a student in acquiring a knowledge of Gothic was to be found in the English book-market, I pro- ceeded to give most of the time at my disposal to the " building up of this Introduction," on a somewhat larger scale than was at first intended, in the hope of being able to promote the study of a dialect which, apart from its native force and beauty, has special claims on the attention of more than one important class of students. By the student of linguistic science, indeed, these claims are at once admitted ; for the Gothic is one of the pillars on which rests the comparative grammar of the older both Indo-European languages in general, and also, pre-eminently, of the Teutonic cluster of dialects in particular. a But good knowledge of Gothic is scarcely less valuable to the student of the English language, at rate, of the Ancient or any English Anglo-Saxon ; upon the phonology of which, and indeed the whole grammar, the Gothic sheds a flood of light that is not to be got from any other source.

[email protected] Szerkesztésért felelős személy: Chen Xin Kiadásért felelős személy: Huang Ping china-cee.eu Past and Present Attempts to Solve the Name Dispute Between Macedonia and Greece Introduction The key reason for the emergence of the asymmetrical name dispute is the fact that Greece treats the existence of Macedonia (a state that uses the name Macedonia and develops the concept of a non-Greek Macedonian nation, ethnicity, language, and culture) as a threat. Taking as pretext the turbulent history of the 20th century, Greece’s major objection has been that the Macedonian state is founded on a notion of irredentism. Therefore, Greece has used its leverage on the international stage, as a member of the EU, NATO and in general an established diplomatic tradition to make a change of the name of Macedonia a precondition for joining international organizations. The two parties have negotiated a possible solution under the auspices of the United Nations for almost quarter of a century. In the process they have come up with various solutions, both in terms of the legal circumstances, and the actual content of the name. In this brief, we analyze the various debates and the emergence of positions on the name issue, as well as some of the solutions that have been proposed throughout the years. Greece’s Position and Demands Starting from the premise that any usage of the term “Macedonia” to describe a non-Greek political entity is a threat towards Greece, the maximalist Greek position is that the new name of Macedonia should not contain the word “Macedonia” at all.

  • North Macedonia: 'New' Country Facing Old Problems
    North Macedonia: ‘New’ country facing old problems A research on the name change of the Republic of North Macedonia Willem Posthumus – s4606027 Master Thesis Human Geography - Conflicts, Territories and Identities Nijmegen School of Management Radboud University Nijmegen Supervisor Henk van Houtum October 2019 36.989 words Once, from eastern ocean to western ocean, the land stretched away without names. Nameless headlands split the surf; nameless lakes reflected nameless mountains; and nameless rivers flowed through nameless valleys into nameless bays. G. R. Stewart, 1945, p. 3 2 I Preface After a bit more than a year, I can hereby present my master’s thesis. It’s about a name. Around 100 pages about a name: I could not have thought it would be such an extensive topic. Last year I had heard about Macedonia, or the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, as it was often called. I didn’t know it that well, just that it used to be part of Yugoslavia, obviously. An item in the news, however, triggered my interest: the country was about to change its name to North Macedonia. ‘Why?’ I thought. I didn’t know about the name dispute, but the more I read about it, the more I wanted to know. When I had to choose a subject for my master’s thesis, I knew I would look at this name change. A year later, I think I understand the name change and the dispute better. Still, the topic is more complicated than I thought. Understanding everything there is about it would probably take a lot more time.

    The Origin and Spread of Locative Determiner Omission in the Balkan Linguistic Area by Eric Heath Prendergast A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Line Mikkelsen, Chair Professor Lev Michael Professor Ronelle Alexander Spring 2017 The Origin and Spread of Locative Determiner Omission in the Balkan Linguistic Area Copyright 2017 by Eric Heath Prendergast 1 Abstract The Origin and Spread of Locative Determiner Omission in the Balkan Linguistic Area by Eric Heath Prendergast Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics University of California, Berkeley Professor Line Mikkelsen, Chair This dissertation analyzes an unusual grammatical pattern that I call locative determiner omission, which is found in several languages belonging to the Slavic, Romance, and Albanian families, but which does not appear to have been directly inherited from any individual genetic ancestor of these languages. Locative determiner omission involves the omission of a definite article in the context of a locative prepositional phrase, and stands out as a feature of the Balkan linguistic area for which there are few, if any crosslinguistic parallels. This investigation of the origin and diachronic spread of locative determiner omission serves the particular goal of revealing how the social context of language contact could have resulted in a pattern of grammatical borrowing without lexical borrowing, yielding a present distribution in which locative determiner omission appears in several Balkan languages no longer in direct contact with one another. A detailed structural and historical analysis of locative determiner omission in Albanian, Romanian, Aromanian, and Macedonian is used as a basis for comparison with other Balkan languages.

  • The Macedonian “Have” and “Be” Perfects
    Chapter 4: Verbal Morphology The Macedonian “Have” and “Be” Perfects Olga Mišeska Tomić Macedonian is the only Slavic language with “have” perfects plus non-inflecting past participles that has reached what Heine and Kuteva would call “a fourth stage” of grammaticaliz­ation.1 Yet, alongside the “have” perfect, which developed as a result of language contact with non- Slavic Balkan languages, the “be” perfect inherited from Proto-Slavic, in which “be” auxiliaries combine with l-participles, is still being used in the language. Moreover, along with the “have” perfect plus invariable participles, a “be” perfect in which “be” auxiliaries com­bine with inflect- ing passive participles has been built up.2 Accordingly, there are three 1 Bernd Heine and Tania Kuteva, The Changing Language of Europe (Ox- ford/New York: Oxford University Press, 2006), p. 146. 2 These participles differ from­ the passive participles of other Slavic languag- es and Koneski and Friedm­an refer to them­ as “verbal adjectives,” while Lunt uses the term “-n/-t participles.” I stick to the term “passive participles” because they behave like the passive participles of many non-Slavic European languages (cf. 4.1 below).
