  • The Production of Lexical Tone in Croatian
    The production of lexical tone in Croatian Inauguraldissertation zur Erlangung des Grades eines Doktors der Philosophie im Fachbereich Sprach- und Kulturwissenschaften der Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität zu Frankfurt am Main vorgelegt von Jevgenij Zintchenko Jurlina aus Kiew 2018 (Einreichungsjahr) 2019 (Erscheinungsjahr) 1. Gutacher: Prof. Dr. Henning Reetz 2. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Sven Grawunder Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 01.11.2018 ABSTRACT Jevgenij Zintchenko Jurlina: The production of lexical tone in Croatian (Under the direction of Prof. Dr. Henning Reetz and Prof. Dr. Sven Grawunder) This dissertation is an investigation of pitch accent, or lexical tone, in standard Croatian. The first chapter presents an in-depth overview of the history of the Croatian language, its relationship to Serbo-Croatian, its dialect groups and pronunciation variants, and general phonology. The second chapter explains the difference between various types of prosodic prominence and describes systems of pitch accent in various languages from different parts of the world: Yucatec Maya, Lithuanian and Limburgian. Following is a detailed account of the history of tone in Serbo-Croatian and Croatian, the specifics of its tonal system, intonational phonology and finally, a review of the most prominent phonetic investigations of tone in that language. The focal point of this dissertation is a production experiment, in which ten native speakers of Croatian from the region of Slavonia were recorded. The material recorded included a diverse selection of monosyllabic, bisyllabic, trisyllabic and quadrisyllabic words, containing all four accents of standard Croatian: short falling, long falling, short rising and long rising. Each target word was spoken in initial, medial and final positions of natural Croatian sentences.

    Dalibor JOVANOVSKI UDK: 327(497.11:495): 352.07/.5(497.7)”18” Original research paper FRIENDLY COMPETITION – GREEK-SERBIAN RELATIONS AND OTTOMAN MACEDONIA IN THE EIGHTIES OF THE 19TH CENTURY Abstract The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the contacts between two Balkan states - Serbia and Greece and their proper attempt to reach an agreement on the di- vision of the Ottoman Macedonia into spheres of interest. The talks of the two coun- tries, that had an alliance agreement as of 1867, were taking place on several levels. Officially between diplomats and politicians and unofficially between diplomats and intellectuals. Although in Greece it was considered that some kind of an agreement could be reached with Serbia over Macedonia, given the weaker position of the Ser- bian side, the initial findings of the research show that it was very difficult. Both sides had claims to the same region. Athens initially thought that Serbian claims did not relate to those parts of Macedonia to which Greece had claims, but quickly found that the interests of Serbs entered much more to the south than Greek expectations. On the other hand, Belgrade was aware that Serbia's interests would not be realised if they did not have some agreement with Greece. Both sides were friendly toward one another, but their interests were different and competitive. Keywords: GREECE, SERBIA, MACEDONIA, NEGOTIATIONS, SPHERES OF INTEREST When in the first half of 1882 Trikoupis came to power, he had to face the fact that his country in the Balkans was alone, without allies (Ναλτσα, 120).

  • Some Case Studies on the Use of Verbs in English
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by JURNAL PERKOTAAN Indonesian Journal of English Language Teaching Volume 5/Number 1 May 2009 THEMATIC INVESTIGATIONS WITH INDONESIAN EFL PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS: FROM DESCRIPTIONS TO SOCIAL CRITIQUES AND BEYOND Joseph Ernest Mambu, Faculty of Language and Literature, Satya Wacana Christian University, Indonesia Abstract This paper aims at illuminating EFL educators with the application of “thematic investigation” as endorsed by a Critical Pedagogy exponent, Paulo Freire. The investigation involved 14 EFL pre- service (student) teachers and me as a teacher-researcher. In the investigation, four pictures (a McDonald’s advertisement, a beauty pageant, a crowded city, and a beggar in front of a temple) became the media for these teachers to make sense of realities. Using English as the medium of expression, these teachers suggested nuanced interpretations of the pictures. In view of various senses of “critical”, the student teachers’ interpretations represented various “breadths” and “depths” (i.e., the scope) of criticality. Knowing the scope of criticality is essential in being more aware of limits that restrict one’s views. The analyses on the generated themes will become the bases for further reflections to transcend the restrictions of one’s own perspectives. Keywords: Critical thinking; social critiques; thematic “limit- situation(s)”; problematizing practices. INTRODUCTION In this paper, the incorporation of Critical Pedagogy insights in EFL teaching and learning in Indonesia, especially from Paulo Freire, will be of a primary concern. Central to the Freirean Critical Pedagogy is conscientização (or “conscientization”) which means “…learning to perceive social, political, and economic contradictions, and to take action against the oppressive elements of reality” (Freire, 1970, p.
