  • After Serbo-Croatian: the Narcissism of Small Difference1
    polish 3()’ 171 10 sociological review ISSN 1231 – 1413 After Serbo-Croatian: The Narcissism of Small Difference1 Snježana Kordić. Jezik i nacjonalizam [Language and Nationalism] (Rotulus / Universitas Series). Zagreb, Croatia: Durieux. 2010. ISBN 978-953-188-311-5. Keywords: Croatian, kroatistik, language politics, nationalism, Serbo-Croatian Kordić’s book Jezik i nacjonalizam [Language and Nationalism] is a study of lan- guage politics or political sociolinguistics. Language being such a burning political issue in Yugoslavia after the adoption in 1974 of a truly federal constitution. In her extensive monograph, written in Croatian (or Latin script-based Croato-Serbian?), Kordić usefully summarizes today’s state of the linguistic and popular discourse on language and nationalism as it obtains in Croatia, amplified with some comparative examples drawn from Bosnia, Montenegro and Serbia. These four out of the seven post-Yugoslav states (the other three being Kosovo, Macedonia and Slovenia) parti- tioned among themselves Yugoslavia’s main official language, Serbo-Croatian (or, in the intra-Yugoslav parlance, ‘Serbo-Croatian or Croato-Serbian’), thus reinventing it anew as the four separate national languages of Bosnian, Croatian, Montenegrin and Serbian. The first two are written in the Latin alphabet; Montenegrin is written both in this alphabet and in Cyrillic; Serbian is officially in Cyrillic, but is in practice also written in Latin characters. The monograph is divided into three parts. The first and shortest one, Linguis- tic Purism (Jezični purizam), sets out the theoretical (and also ideological) position adopted by Kordić. Building on this theoretical framework, she conducts her anal- ysis and discussion in the two further sections, The Pluricentric Standard Language (Policentrični standardni jezik) and the final more far-ranging one, Nation, Identity, Culture and History (Nacija, identitet, kultura, povijest).

    Anna Hurajová1 University of Ss. Cyril and Methodius in Trnava Anna Hurajová Czech and Slovak bilingualism in the media2 Czech and Slovak bilingualism in the media Abstract The article deals with the specific cultural and language relations between the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic. It especially focuses on the interlingual relations between the two states, taking into account the peculiarities of Czech-Slovak bilingualism in the media against the background of the social changes after the split of Czechoslovakia. The distinction between bilingualism and semi-communication is explained. Attention is paid to interlingual relations, especially the presence of perceptive bilingualism, the divergence of the two languages, the cultural exchange between the two nations, and the status of the Slovak language in the Czech media environment – namely its presence on TV, the radio, in the press and in cultural life in general. Keywords: bilingualism, semi-communication, Czech-Slovak bilingualism, language contact, media. Czesko-słowacka dwujęzyczność w mediach Streszczenie W artykule opisano specyficzne relacje kulturowe i językowe między Republiką Czeską a Republiką Słowacką.

  • Mutual Intelligibility Between West and South Slavic Languages Взаимопонимание Между Западнославянскими И Южнославянскими Языками
    Russ Linguist (2015) 39:351–373 DOI 10.1007/s11185-015-9150-9 Mutual intelligibility between West and South Slavic languages Взаимопонимание между западнославянскими и южнославянскими языками Jelena Golubovic´1 · Charlotte Gooskens1 Published online: 18 September 2015 © The Author(s) 2015. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract In the present study we tested the level of mutual intelligibility between three West Slavic (Czech, Slovak and Polish) and three South Slavic languages (Croatian, Slovene and Bulgarian). Three different methods were used: a word translation task, a cloze test and a picture task. The results show that in most cases, a division between West and South Slavic languages does exist and that West Slavic languages are more intelligible among speakers of West Slavic languages than among those of South Slavic languages. We found an asymmetry in Croatian-Slovene intelligibility, whereby Slovene speakers can understand written and spoken Croatian better than vice versa. Finally, we compared the three methods and found that the word translation task and the cloze test give very similar results, while the results of the picture task are somewhat unreliable. Аннотация В настоящей статье рассматривается вопрос взаимопонимания между тремя западнославянскими (чешским, словацким и польским) и тремя южнославян- скими (хорватским, словенским и болгарским) языками. В исследовании использова- лись три различных метода: задание перевода слов, тестовое задание с заполнением пробелов и изобразительное задание. Результатытеста показывают,что в большинстве случаев разделение между западнославянскими и южнославянскими языками сущест- вует. При этом западнославянские языки—более близки между собой в смысле пони- мания для их носителей, в то время как у носителей южнославянских языков такое взаимопонимание затруднено.

  • Characteristics of Slovak Culture in the Context of Bilateral Austrian-Slovak Relations
    Journal of Intercultural Management Vol. 9 | No. 2 | June 2017 | pp. 81–101 DOI 10.1515/joim-2017-0009 Michaela Čiefová Faculty of International Relations, University of Economics in Bratislava [email protected] Characteristics of Slovak Culture in the Context of Bilateral Austrian-Slovak Relations Abstract: Objective: The main intention of the present paper is, on the one hand, to provide a summary of the characteristics of Slovak culture by applying chosen theories and models. On the other hand, we attempt to underline the significance of bilateral Austro-Slovak relations in relation to the economy or migration tendencies. We assume that, based on geographical prox- imity and the above stated bilateral relations, intercultural encounters are relatively frequent as well. Therefore, certain perception of Slovaks from the Austrian point of view is likely to exist. Methodology: Our work is based on relevant scientific sources, as well as on our own empirical research reposing in the analysis of an online questionnaire. Findings: Overall, findings of our empirical research may be considered rather positive, as no negative or hostile responses concerning Slovak culture were reported. Furthermore, none of the participants experienced a conflict with a Slovak counterpart that could clearly be ascribed to cultural differences. Value Added: We believe that the conclusions presented in this paper might be helpful not only for managers operating on the international level or businessmen intending to do business Michaela Čiefová with their Slovak partners, for scholars engaged in similar topics but also for anyone interested in intercultural communication and cultural differences. Key words: Slovak culture, Austrian-Slovak bilateral relations, values, cultural differences, intercultural conflict, Geert Hofstede, Richard D.

  • The Bulgarian Dialect Names of the Cat*
    Papers of BAS Humanities and Social Sciences Vol. 7, 2020, No. 2 The Bulgarian dialect names of the cat* Iliyana Garavalova Abstract. This article is a result of a series of studies related to a forthcoming lin- guo-geographical presentation of the topic in the European Linguistic Atlas. It discusses the types of dialect names of the domestic cat (Felis domestica) that are used within the Bulgarian language territory, as well as the semantic basis of the process. The article traces the etymology of the words, analysing their formal paradigms. In addition, it draws parallels between the names of the cat and other real-life entities - objects, plants, etc. Keywords: dialectology, linguistic geography, dialect lexicology The issue concerning how the domestic cat has been named in different languages is investigated in a number of linguistic and lingo-geographical stud- ies of Bulgarian and foreign scientists (BDA 2001; BDA 1975; BDA 1981; ОLA 2000; OLA 2013; Antonova-Vasileva 2017; Budziszewska 1984; Odran 1970; Pa- nayotov 2001; Trubachev 1960 among others). The interest in this issue is due to the fact that it concerns an extremely archaic basic vocabulary that is part of the main lexical stock of each one of the European languages and the realia referred to by this vocabulary has been known since ancient times, because cats and humans have been living together for millennia. While mapping the phe- nomenon in question for the territory of Europe, the Bulgarian Commission at the European Linguistic Atlas has identified the need for some clarifications and additions. It is precisely because of this need that the present article raises the issue again.

Kehrein (eds.), Handbook of the Changing World Language Map, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-73400-2_61-2 1156 R. Matlovič et al. Slovakia is a rather young country in Central Europe that was established on 1st January 1993 after the peaceful division of Czechoslovakia. The development of national and language structure of the population in Slovakia is closely related to the changing geopolitical, social, and cultural context. One consequence of this complicated history is a relatively high degree of language diversification. The territory of current Slovakia was a part of the Hungarian Kingdom up to 1918. After World War I, Slovakia became part of Czechoslovakia. During the World War II period (1939–1945), the southern part of Slovak territory was occupied by Hungary, and the rest of the area was established as the Slovak state under the influence of Nazi Germany. After the World War II, Slovakia was part of Czechoslovakia once again up to 1992. This period was mostly connected with totalitarian communist regime (1948–1989). Sociopolitical and economic changes that began in 1989 created a new situation for national and language minority development.
