    Hungarian and Slavic — Brill https://referenceworks.brillonline.com/entries/encyclopedia-of-slavic-l... Encyclopedia of Slavic Languages and Linguistics Online Hungarian and Slavic (6,687 words) The rst supercial contacts of the Hungarians and Slavs took place in the 9th century CE in the East European Article Table of Contents Plain at the time of the migration of Hungarian tribes. Slavic in Hungarian However, intensive contacts began after they relocated to the Carpathian basin, where the ancestors of today’s Hungarian in Slavic Hungarians settled among Slavs who spoke Late Common Bibliography Slavic dialects. In the course of their assimilation among the Slavophone population of the central territories in a community characterized by Slavic-Hungarian bilingualism, Hungarian acquired a considerable number of loans, lexical and semantic calques, and some word-formational calques. Slavic afected the grammatical structure of Hungarian to a lesser extent. The Slavic substratum of Hungarian warrants the reconstruction of two dialects of Late Common Slavic in the Carpathian basin at the time of the arrival of the Hungarians in the late 9th century CE. One is Pannonian Slavic, which combined features of what are today’s West Slavic languages and the westernmost dialects of the South Slavic dialects, which thus form a transitional dialect bridging the West and South Slavic branches. The other is a dialect of the Bulgarian type, which, together with its general South Slavic features, also gives evidence of specic features of Bulgarian dialects. The substratum lexicon was supplemented by borrowings from individual Slavic languages as a result of persistent and intensive contact between Slavs and Hungarians, which had earlier taken place in the central parts of the Hungarophone territory as well as its periphery, whereas in the modern era, they take place largely only between regional variants of Hungarian in neighboring Slavic countries.

  • 1 Andreja Eržen (Ljubljana Graduate School of Humanities, Slovenia
    Andreja Eržen (Ljubljana Graduate School of Humanities, Slovenia) AFFIRMATION OF THE SLOVENIAN LANGUAGE Slovenian grammars and dictionaries from 16 th to 19 th century 1. Introduction One of the main questions, which appear very often in the Slovenian linguistics, is the problem of the construction of the national language and its link with the national consciousness. Must or should this national language be identical to the language of the people? And who this “people” really are: peasants in the village, bourgeoisie in the towns, the clergy or the few intellectuals? The period between 16 th and 19 th century was the most vivant and important for the development of the dialects, spoken on Slovene territories. Until the middle of the 19 th century Slovene philologists succeeded to create the basis for the literary language, based on the central Slovenian dialect. During the history of the language and its development, three questions appeared to be most present: − The relation between Slovenian language/its dialects and other Slavic languages, − The relation of the peripheral literary dialects to the central standard, − The role of the sixteenth-century norm for the modern language. During the centuries grammars and dictionaries played an important role in the development of the languages. The 16 th century presents a turning point in the history of a language; the protestant writers began to write in their native language. Their main aim was to make the ecclesiastical rituals comprehensible to the people. It was also the time of the first grammars, describing vernaculars, although mostly in Latin. The Protestantism gave three main pillars, on which the national language was later on constructed: first grammar (Adam Bohori č, Arcticae Horulae , 1584), first dictionary (Hieronimus Megiser, Dictionairium quatuor linguarum, videlicet germanicae, latinae, illyricae, 1592) and first translation of the Bible (Jurij Dalmatin, Biblia, tv ie, vse svetv pismv, stariga inu noviga testamenta, slovenski, tolmazhena, 1584).

  • Introduction
    Introduction 1 Prekmurje Slovene among the Slavic languages There is reason to think of Prekmurje Slovene as a dialect of Slovene as well as a separate language. Indeed it has carried through many of the innovations that are characteristic of Slovene, shares most core vocabulary and grammat- ical structure, and from this perspective is part of a broader dialect group of the Pannonian group of Slovene dialects, together with the Slovenske gorice, Prlekija, and Haloze dialects, which in turn share a number of characteristics that differ from the rest of Slovene as well as neighboring Kajkavian dialects in Croatia (see Ramovš 1935, 171–193 for details). In favor of Prekmurje Slovene as a language1 is its written tradition, as it has been used for several centuries in a loosely standardized form, largely, but not exclusively, as a liturgical lan- guage. From a diachronic perspective, the Prekmurje dialect offers a glimpse at a linguistic code that came into being through heterogeneous processes. As pertains to all of South Slavic, its population migrated westward from the core Slavic area in today’s Ukraine in the second half of the first millennium AD. The founder population of Prekmurje Slovene (together with the Pannonian dialects) spoke a variety of Slavic that was already structurally different from that spoken in its neighboring areas to the west in today’s Slovenia as well as to the south in the Kajkavian-speaking region of Croatia. The affinity of the founder population is no longer fully recoverable, but some intriguing evidence pointing to this possibility may be found in today’s central Russia and central Bulgaria (Schallert and Greenberg 2007).

Reindl, jezik Slovene – Slovene Ultra-Formal Linguistic Studies Address: 6 (2007): Borrowing, 151–168 Innovation, and Analysis 151 Donald F. Reindl Filozofska fakulteta, Ljubljana Slovene Ultra-Formal Address: Borrowing, Innovation, and Analysis Slovenščina ima ogovorni sistem, ki se od osnovnega dvojnega ogovornega sistema mnogih ev- ropskih jezikov loči v tem, da oblikovno razlikuje do štirih ravni formalnosti (neformalno/tikanje, polformalno/napol vikanje, formalno/vikanje in ultraformalno/onikanje). Do nedavnega je bilo onikanje v redni uporabi tako v neposrednem kot v posrednem ogovoru (oz. govorjenjem o odsot- ni osebi). Čeprav bi lahko slovnične značilnosti onikanja izvirale iz stika z nemščino, se zdi, da predstavlja slovenska uporaba onikanja v posrednem ogovoru samostojen izum. Avtor analizira Linhartovo veseloigro Županova Micka z namenom, da razišče in prikaže vzajemno delovanje teh ogovornih oblik. Podobne raziskave onikanja v drugih jezikih (češčina, slovaščina) bi lahko bolje osvetlile pojav, ki je prisoten v več slovanskih jezikih. Slovene has a system of address that differs from the basic binary address system of many Europe- an languages by grammatically distinguishing up to four levels of formality (informal, semiformal, formal, and ultra-formal). Until recently, ultra-formal address was regularly used in direct as well as indirect address (i.e., reference to absent persons). Although the grammatical characteristics of Slovene ultra-formal address (3rd plural) appear to have been the result of contact with German, the Slovene application of this form to indirect address appears to have been an independent innova- tion. Anton Tomaž Linhart’s play Županova Micka is analyzed in order to explore and illustrate the interaction of these various address forms.

  • Identity and Discursive Practices of Friulians and Slovenes in the Province of Udine, Italy, in Recent Decades
    Dialectologia 24 (2020), 273-296. ISSN: 2013-2247 Received 20 February 2018. Accepted 4 May 2018. IDENTITY AND DISCURSIVE PRACTICES OF FRIULIANS AND SLOVENES IN THE PROVINCE OF UDINE, ITALY, IN RECENT DECADES Danila ZULJAN KUMAR Institute of Slovenian Language Fran Ramovš / Research Centre of Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts** [email protected] Abstract In the past, Slovene spoken in the Province of Udine and Friulian, mainly spoken in the Provinces Udine, Pordenone and Gorizia of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy, were limited to the private sphere, but recently, they are becoming more seen and heard in public life, i.e. outside their traditional communication situations. The change can be attributed to the changes in the perception of their mother tongue in the Slovene and Friulian communities themselves in relation to the prevailing Italian language, the use of which implied a more prestigious position in society in the past, as well as to the change of attitudes towards the two minority languages among the majority population. Changes of discursive practices are occurring hand in hand with changes in identity practices. The paper presents a qualitative study on the topic in which 22 sociolinguistic interviews with the speakers of Friulian and the Slovene were carried out. Keywords Slovenes in the province of Udine, Friulians, discursive practices, identity practices ** Research Centre of Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Intitute of Slovenian Language Fran Ramovš, Novi trg 2-4, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia. 273 Danila ZULJAN KUMAR IDENTIDAD Y PRÁCTICAS DISCURSIVAS DE FRIULANOS Y ESLOVENOS EN LA PROVINCIA DE UDINE, ITALIA, EN DÉCADAS RECIENTES Resumen En el pasado, el esloveno hablado en la provincia de Udine y el friulano, principalmente hablado en las provincias de Udine, Pordenone y Gorizia de Friul-Venecia Julia, Italia, se limitaba a la esfera privada, pero recientemente, son más vistos y escuchados en la vida pública, es decir, fuera de sus situaciones de comunicación tradicionales.

  • Prekmurje Grammar As a Source of Slavic Comparative Material
    Slovenski jezik – Slovene Linguistic Studies 7 (2009): 29–44 Marc L. Greenberg University of Kansas Prekmurje Grammar as a Source of Slavic Comparative Material Prispevek, predstavljen kot referat na 16. bienalnem simpoziju o južnoslovanskih jezikih, zago- varja objavo Pavlove rokopisne prekmurske slovnice Vend nyelvtan, dokončane l. 1942. Čeprav je prvotni namen slovnice, tj. uveljavitev pokrajinskega knjižnega jezika, zastarel, rokopis ponuja in- formacije o posebnem ustroju prekmurščine in je s tem tudi dragocen vir za tipološke, primerjalne in zgodovinske študije slovanskih jezikov. The paper, which was prepared for and delivered at the 16th Biennial Balkan and South Slavic Conference in Banff, Canada, makes the case for the publication of the 1942 Prekmurje Slovene grammar in manuscript, Avgust Pavel’s Vend nyelvtan, not for the purpose of reviving a competing literary language, but as a useful source of information for typological, comparative and historical studies of the Slavic languages. Slavic linguistics as it enters the twenty-first century can be seen as a mature field, given that its beginnings in the period of historical-comparative studies dates to the be- ginning of the nineteenth century with Dobrovský’s taxonomy of Slavic “dialects.”1 At least as far as the historical and comparative end of the spectrum of inquiry, new research cannot hope to yield profoundly new discoveries, but it can yield more sophisticated and fine-grained analyses. Moreover, it still has room to remove blind spots in its vision. One of the fundamental operating procedures in Slavic linguistics—so fundamental, in fact, that it is virtually never discussed—is the use of standard languages of contemporary na- tion states as the primary unit of analysis.

  • Combinability with Preposittons in Slovene and English: Theoretical and Contrastne Views
    Eva Sicherl, UDK 81'367.633 : 81'25 University of Ljubljana Andreja Žele, Scientific Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts COMBINABILITY WITH PREPOSITTONS IN SLOVENE AND ENGLISH: THEORETICAL AND CONTRASTNE VIEWS The present article aims to shed some light on the combinability oj verbs, nouns and adjectives with prepositions - a phenomenon which is common both in Slovene and in English, but has not been extensively commented on by Slovene linguists. In Anglo­ American linguistics, such combinations with prepositions are basically divided into two groups, which tend to be named dijferently by authors oj dijferent linguistic "ori­ entations". Keywords: semantic- and structural-syntactic aspect oj valency, combinability with prepositions, prepositional free morpheme, prepositional collocation,free combination O Introduction Valency theory, originating in dependency grammar as developed by Tesniere (1959) and particularly developed in the 1960s and 1970s by German linguists (e.g. Helbig, Schenkel, Heringer, Schumacher, Engel), has also found its place in Slovene linguistics. A rather complex multi-level treatment of valency from the semantic- and structural-syntactic aspect (with an original orientation from form to meaning and vice versa and with account taken of transformational grammar linguistics) is found as early as the second half of the 1970s in Toporišič (1976). Approximately at the same tirne valency in Slovene was dealt with by the French author Vincenot in his grammar Essai de Grammaire Slovene (1975). In the following years, valency was treated in more detail and depth by Toporišič (1982), as well as by Dular (1982), Križaj (1981, 1982, 1989), and Vidovič Muha (1993), who all researched the transformational grammar aspect of valency more intensively.
