  • 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).

  • Czech and Slovak Bilingualism in the Media2
    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. W szczególności autorka koncentruje się na relacjach międzyludzkich między tymi dwoma państwami, biorąc pod uwagę specyfikę czesko-słowackiej dwujęzyczności w mediach na tle zmian społecznych po rozpadzie Czechosłowacji. Rozróżnia dwujęzyczność i semikomunikację. Ponadto zwraca uwagę na stosunki międzyjęzykowe, szczególnie na obecność dwujęzyczności pasywnej, rozbieżności między dwoma językami, wymiany kulturowej między tymi dwoma narodami oraz na status języka słowackiego w czeskim środowisku medialnym, tj. obecność w telewizji, radiu, w prasie i ogólnie w życiu kulturalnym.

L’APPLICATION DU MULTILINGUISME DANS L’UNION EUROPÉENNE – UN PROBLÈME SANS ISSUE ? Mariana BUDA [email protected] Abstract. Multilingualism, one of the major problems in the new reality, is considered to be of crucial importance for the European Union, as multilingualism can be identified as the phenomenon leading to the cultural diversity and protects the disappearance of certain languages, mostly regional and minority languages. The treaties and the decrees within the European Union aim at preservation of cultural and linguistic identities of every country. At the same time,

  • Les Drapeaux Des Langues Construites
    Les Drapeaux des Langues Construites Patrice de La Condamine Résumé Depuis toujours, les hommes oscillent entre la préservation de leurs identités particulières et leur besoin d’appartenance à des communautés globales. L’idée d’universel et de recherche de la “fusion des origines” hante leur cœur. Dans cet esprit, des langues construites ont été élaborées. Qu’elles soient à vocation auxiliaire ou internationale, destinées à de vastes aires culturelles ou à but strictement philosophique. Des noms connus comme Volapük, Espéranto, Ido, Bolak, Interlingua, Occidental. Mais aussi Glosa, Kotava, Lingua Franca Nova, Atlango. Ou encore Folskpraat, Slovio, Nordien, Afrihili, Slovianski, Hedšdël. Sans parler du langage philosophique Lojban1. Le plus intéressant est de constater que toutes ces langues ont des drapeaux qui traduisent les messages et idéaux des groupes en question! La connaissance des drapeaux des langues construites est primordiale pour plusieurs raisons: elle nous permet de comprendre que tous les drapeaux sans exception délivrent des messages d’une part; que l’existence des drapeaux n’est pas forcément liée à l’unique notion de territoire d’autre part. Le drapeau est d’abord et avant tout, à travers son dessin et ses couleurs, un “territoire mental”. Après avoir montré et expliqué ces différents drapeaux2, nous conclurons avec la présentation du drapeau des Conlang, sorte d’ONU des Langues construites!

  • On the Historicity of Old Church Slavonic
    Giorgio Ziffer UDK 811.163.1(091) Videm (Udine) ON THE HISTORICITY OF OLD CHURCH SLAVONIC [tevilne {tudije stare cerkvene slovan{~ine ne upo{tevajo v celoti dejstva, da je to bil knji`ni jezik, in pogosto zanemarjajo zgodovinski pogled, ki je potreben za zvesto rekonstrukcijo njegovega dejanskega delovanja. Many studies of Old Church Slavonic do not seem to take into full account its nature as a literary language and often neglect the necessary historical perspective needed for a more faithful reconstruction of its concrete functioning. Before introducing the subject of my talk, I wish to stress that I will not be speaking today about the main topic of the Conference, i.e. the history of Slovene. I could of course ask for leniency and remind you that there was a time when Old Church Slavonic was in fact called »Old Slovenian«; but this took place long ago and would be of little assistance for our present purposes.1 Leaving aside the problem of the different names given to that language even nowadays (in addition to ’Old Church Slavonic’, we find the concurrent terms of ’Old Slavic’ and ’Old Bulgarian’), I prefer to reveal the main argument of my article: despite the fact that Old Church Slavonic is universally recognized as the first literary language of the Slavs, it is very often evaluated from a narrow historical-comparative perspective that does not take into full account its characterizing features as a true literary language. The cause and effect of this state of affairs, as I will try to show, is the lack of historicity (i.e.

Wer wüsste das besser als der Jubilar, der im Vorwort zur dritten Auflage seiner “Einführung in die slavischen Sprachen” unter Heranziehung verschiedener Kriterien besprochen hat, was man nun genau unter einer slavischen Sprache bzw. Standardsprache zu verstehen hat und wel- che konkreten Standardsprachen in einer solchen Einführung vertreten sein sollen? Ein Ergebnis dieser Überlegungen war die Entscheidung, statt des Serbokroatischen, das in den beiden ers- ten Auflagen noch als eine Sprache figuriert hatte, das Kroatische, Serbische und Bosnische aufzunehmen, gleichzeitig aber auch das Serbokroatische noch zu besprechen, gewissermaßen als eine historisch abgeschlossene Sprachform (vgl. Rehder 1998: 300ff.). Ein weiteres Ergeb- nis war die Aufnahme einer Reihe von “slavischen Mikro-Literatursprachen” bzw. “slavischen Kleinschriftsprachen” im Sinne von Dulicenkoˇ (1981), so etwa des Russinischen, des Westpo- lessischen, des Moliseslavischen u.a.m. Beide Entscheidungen sind durchaus nicht unumstritten, und so war dem Jubilar nicht zu verdenken, dass er nicht noch weitere Fronten eröffnet und eine weitere große Gruppe von slavischen Sprachen überhaupt nicht erwähnt hat, nämlich die der künstlichen slavischen Sprachen bzw. der auf slavischer Grundlage entstandenen Plansprachen. Einen guten Überblick über die älteren Versuche zur Schaffung slavischer Plansprachen gibt die Bibliografie von Dulicenkoˇ (1990), die für den Zeitraum von 1665–1972 insgesamt 17 sol- cher Projekte erfasst, darunter die bekannten Plansprachen von Comenius, Križanic´ und Majar- Zilski, genauere Angaben speziell zu Österreich-Ungarn liefert Back (1992).

  • INTERSLAVIC Zonal Constructed Language
    INTERSLAVIC zonal constructed language an introduction for English-speakers Interslavic zonal constructed language is an auxiliary language, which looks very similar to real spoken Slavic languages in Central and Eastern Europe and continues the tradition of the Old Church Slavonic language. Interslavic shares grammar and common vocabulary with modern spoken Slavic languages in order to build a universal language tool that Slavic people can understand without any or with very minimal prior learning. It is an easily-learned language for those who want to use this language actively. Interslavic ena- bles passive (e.g. receptive) understanding of the real Slavic languages. Non-Slavic people can use Interslavic as the door to the big Slavic world. Zonal constructed languages are constructed languages made to facilitate communica- tion between speakers of a certain group of closely related languages. They belong to the international auxiliary languages, but unlike languages like Esperanto and Volapük they are not intended to serve for the whole world, but merely for a limited linguistic or geo- graphic area where they take advantage of the fact that the people of this zone understand these languages without having to learn them in a difficult way. Zonal languages include the ancient Sanskirt, Old Church Slavonic, and Lingua Franca. Zonal design can be partially found also in modern languages such as contemporary Hebrew, Indonesian, and Swahili. Vojtěch Merunka Prague, February 2018 ISO-690 citation example MERUNKA, Vojtěch.
