Literackie i filmowe obrazy śmierci Jana Husa
Authors: Pešina Jan
Published: March 2020

The image of Jan Hus’s death in literary and film worksThe article shows, on selected examples from Czech literature and film, different images of the Czech reformer’s death. The fundamental texts of this article are the testimonies of two witnesses of that event: a member of Hus’s escort, Peter from Mladoňovice, and a burgher from Konstantz, Ulrich Rychental. Confesional dependent visions, that both of them were creating, initiated two traditions in the perception of Jan Hus: as a martyr and as a heretic. The vision of Mladoňovic dominated thinking about Hus in Czech society until the beginning of the recatholization. During the 19th century it was also supported by historism typical for the National Revival epoch F. Palacký, Dějiny národa českého, persisted in journalism, literature, art and, after some modifications, operated until the middle of the 20th century O. Vávra, Jan Hus. Later literary and film productions E. Kantůrková, J. Svoboda, Jan Hus take into account Rychental’s testimony, so the one-sided picture of the death of the Bethlehem preacher gained a new dimension. Literární a filmové obrazy smrti Jana HusaČlánek na vybraných příkladech z české literatury a filmu ukazuje dva různé obrazy smrti českého reformátora. Základními texty jsou zprávy dvou očitých svědků události: člena Husova doprovodu Petra z Mladoňovic a kostnického měšťana Ulricha Richentala. Konfesijně podmíněné obrazy, které oba atoři kreují, stojí na počátku dvou rodících se tradic v pojímání Husa: jako mučedníka a jako kacíře. V českém prostředí dominoval až do počátku rekatolizace Mladoňovicův obraz, který byl v 19. století převzat obrozeneckým dějepisectvím F. Palacký, Dějiny národa českého a následně publicistikou, literaturou a výtvarným uměním a v různých modifikacích přetrval zhruba do poloviny 20. století O. Vávra, Jan Hus. Pozdější literární a filmová produkce E. Kantůrková, J. Svoboda, Jan Hus zohledňuje také Richentalovo svědectví, čímž do té doby jednostranný obraz smrti betlémského kazatele získal novou dimenzi.

Љепота умирања – визија раја однос према смрти у средњовје- ковној српској литератури
Authors: Vasiljević Ilić Slavica
Published: March 2020

The beauty of dying: A vision of heaven the relationship with death in medieval Serbian literatureDeath presents a major topic in the medieval Serbian literature, the manner of dying being crucial for gaining eternal life. There are three stages in the schematized description of death: announcement, transition and vision of what the hero may expect in eternal life. At each stage there are images and symbols of the world beyond that present death as something pleasant and desirable. In terms of death, it is Saint Simeon as the founder of the dynasty of Nemanjici and the first national saint and Czar Lazar Hrebeljanovic that drew most of the attention, the former being described by four authors in five pieces of work, the latter due to his heroic end against the infidels in the Battle of Kosovo. It is not long before the three-stage scheme is disturbed in early hagiographies, with the 13th and 14th century heroes embracing death in most cases there are saints in question, whereas it is already in the following century in poetry, for instance, that there emerge not so favourable accounts of death.  Красота умирания — видение рая отношение к смерти в средневековой сербской литературеСмерть является одной из центральных тем в средневековой сербской литературе. Ключом к обретению вечной жизни является способ умирания. Описание смерти схематизировано, состоит из трех частей: предупреждение, переход и видение того, что персонажа ожидает в вечной жизни. На каждом этапе появляются картины и символы потустороннего мира, на которых смерть изображена красивой и желанной. В сербской средневековой литературе внимание обращено прежде всего на смерть Св. Симеона, родоначальника династии Неманичей, первого национального святителя, а также на смерть Св. князя Лазаря, умершего в борьбе против неверующих, вместе со своими войнами. Наблюдаются отступления от установленной трехкомпонентной схемы первых житий. Герои житий и слов XIII и XIV вв. святые воспринимают смерть как переход в вечную жизнь, в XV в. появляются иные изображения смерти представленные в негативном ключе, например, в поэзии.

The motif of death in Serbian modernist novels: Newcomers by Milutin UskokovićThis paper discusses the way the motif of death is shaped in the novel Newcomers by Milutin Uskoković, whose narrative strategies represent well the poetics of prose texts from the beginning of the 20th century. Analysis is conducted based on the conclusions of classical, but also postclassical specifically, cognitive narratology. The central point of this research is the domination of internal focalization which, by changing the narrator’s position, significantly changes the position and function of the main character. All other features of the text derive precisely from creating this kind of narrative situation. A short history of reading this text is provided within the study of narrative procedures that shaped the motif of death in the aforementioned novel. This should point towards a new shift in its interpretation, which was enabled by the achievements of contemporary theory of literature.  Мотив смерти в романах сербского модерна:Пришельци Милутина УскоковичаВ статье рассматриваются способы описания мотива смерти в романах сербского модернизма. Самым значительным среди ряда романов считается роман Милутинa Ускоковичa „Пришельцы“, иллюстрирующий поэтику прозаических текстов начала прошлого века, в которых мотивы исчезновения такие как физическая смерть, отъезд, безумие были почти неизбежными. В анализе автор опирается на выводы классической, но и постклассической точнее когнитивной нарратологии. Объектом исследования, прежде всего, является доминирование внутренней фокализации, заменяющей место повествователя, что в конечном итоге в значительной мере, меняет позицию и функцию героя. Кроме исследования наративных стратегий, в статье представлен обзор рецепции этого текста, прослеживается динамика в восприятии романа, которая оформлена в соответствии с принципами современной теории литературы.

Psychological aspects of the figure of death in Veljko Milicevicʼs BespuceThe article is devoted to the psychological aspects of death in Veljko Milicevic’s Bespuce, a novel depicting the psychological state of the protagonist caused by numerous losses. By analyzing different attitudes towards death represented by Gavre Djakovic, the author of this article tries to show how the figure of death corresponds with the loss of Gavre’s loved ones and his ideals. The purpose of this article is to analyze the experiences of the protagonist who is facing a series of losses: the death of his father, mother, and brother, as well as dissatisfaction with his ideological beliefs. These events affect the emotional state of Gavre: they do not lead to his death, but fill his life with a negative attitude to everything that surrounds him, devastating his life. Therefore, in the novel, the psychological aspect of death is represented by the attitude of the protagonist towards life and his reactions to loss.  Психологические аспекты феномена смерти в романе Беспуче Велька МиличевичаВ данной работе рассматриваются психологические аспекты проблемы, смерти в романе Велька Миличевича Беспуче. В этом романе представлено психологическое состояние главного героя, вызванное многочисленными утратами. Мы попытались показать, как образ смерти соотносится со смертью близких людей и утратой идеалов. Цель нашей работы — проанализировать переживания главного героя, Гаврилы Джаковича, переживающего череду потрясений: смерть отца, матери и брата, разочарование в идеологических убеждениях. Эти события влияют на эмоциональное состояние Гаврила: они не приводят к смерти героя, но наполняют его жизнь негативным отношением ко всему, что его окружает, опустошают его жизнь. Психологический аспект проблемы смерти раскрывается через отношения главного героя к жизни и его реакцию на утраты.
Osakaćena autobiografija — smrt u stvaralaštvu Milke Žicine
Authors: Taczyńska Katarzyna
Published: March 2020

Mutilated autobiography: Death in the works of Milka ŽicinaThe aim of the article is to analyze the autobiographical works of Milka Žicina 1902–1984 in the perspective of the principles of affirmative humanities Domańska 2014. The interpretative categories for reading the author’s personal documents are the subject of death and the related concept of “border situations” Jaspers 1978. Although Žicina was a recognized writer, she published only a part of her memory prose when she was alive. The manuscript depicting the camp past staying in Glavnjača prison and in Stolac camp [1951–1955, Sve, sve, sve 2002, Сама 2009] spent many years hidden in a locker room and emerged only after the writer’s death. The record of her battle with disease breast cancer, though published in 1976, has remained unnoticed by researchers so far Записи са онколошког, 1976. Death in Žicina’s works can be perceived in several aspects: the real one, where the author’s works are reinterpreted from the perspective of contemporary literary research; the metaphorical one, in which Žicina as a former prisoner was subjected to civilian death, and simultaneously her camp testimonies were subjected to cultural death; the thematic one, as a problem in the diary, in which the author gives an account of a subjective experience of mortal illness and transforms it into a story of struggle and victory.  Autobiografia okaleczona — śmierć w twórczości Milki ŽicinyCelem artykułu jest analiza autobiograficznej twórczości Milki Žiciny 1902–1984 w perspektywie postulatów humanistyki afirmatywnej Domańska 2014. Kategorie interpretacyjne odczytania dokumentów osobistych autorki stanowią temat śmierci i związane z nim pojęcie „sytuacji granicznych” Jaspersa 1978. Žicina, choć należała do grona pisarek uznanych, za życia tylko częściowo publikowała prozę wspomnieniową. Rękopis przedstawiający przeszłość obozową pobyt w więzieniu Glavnjača oraz obozie Stolac [1951–1955 — Sve, sve, sve, 2002; Сама, 2009], wiele lat ukrywany w domowej skrytce, ukazał się dopiero po śmierci pisarki. Z kolei zapis jej choroby rak piersi, mimo publikacji w 1976 roku, w rzeczywistości dotychczas nie doczekał się zainteresowania ze strony badaczy Записи са онколошког, 1976. Śmierć w twórczości Žiciny można rozpatrywać w obrębie kilku porządków: realnym, w którym dochodzi do reinterpretacji twórczości autorki z perspektywy współczesnych badań literackich; metaforycznym, w którym Žicina jako była więźniarka podlegała śmierci cywilnej, a wraz z nią kulturowej śmierci ulegały świadectwa obozowe; a także tematycznym — jako problem podjęty w dzienniku, w którym autorka upublicznia subiektywne doświadczenie śmiertelnej choroby i przetwarza je w historię walki i zwycięstwa.

Тhe beginnings of a bilingual Russian-Polish and Polish-Russian lexicography: A literature reviewThe article presents an attempt to consolidate data of Russian-Polish and Polish-Russian lexicography of the period from the 17th century to the first quarter of the 19th century, provided in the bibliography of Polish dictionaries compiled by P. Grzegorczyk and the works of archeographists and historians of written languages.The author supposes that the absence of earliest Polish-East Slavic and East Slavic-Polish dictionaries in the most complete bibliography of Polish dictionaries may be explained as a consequence of the ambiguous ethnic character of written languages of the East Slavic peoples compared to recent differenctiation of East Slavic languages, as well as a result of the manuscript character of those dictionaries.  Начало русско-польской и польско-русской двуязычной лексикографии. Краткий обзор научой литературыВ статье предпринимается попытка свести воедино сведения о русско-польской и польско-русской лексикографии XVII–первой четверти XIX вв., представленный в библиографии польских словарей П. Гжегорчика и в работах археографов и историков литературных языков.Высказывается предположение, что отсутствие в наиболее полной библиографии польских словарей сведений о самых давних польсковосточнославянских восточнославянскопольских словарях, известных исследователям истории языка, может быть следствием нечеткости этнической характеристики литературного языка восточных славян в XVII веке по равнению с современной дифференциацией восточнославянских языков, а также рукописной формы функционировавших в XVII веке и в первой половине XVIII века польско-восточнославянских и восточнославянско-польских словарей.
Концепт „любовь” в паремиологических единицах русского и польского языков

Published: March 2020

Concept of “love” in paremiological units of the Russian and Polish languagesThe article presents the results of a comparative analysis of the paremiological units which represent the concept of “love,” conducted on the material consisting of lexicographic sources of the Russian and Polish languages. It is concluded that there is a significant number of parallel expressions whose elements coincide or are close in semantic structure in the field of Russian and Polish paremiological units. This is explained by many extralinguistic factors. We associate the differences in the representation of the concept of “love” with the national originality of the mentality, specific features of historical development, features of the material and spiritual culture of the two nations.  Pojęcie „miłość” w jednostkach paremicznych języka rosyjskiego i polskiegoW artykule przedstawione zostały wyniki analizy porównawczej jednostek paremicznych zawierających pojęcie „miłość”. Badanie przeprowadzono na materiale pochodzącym ze źródeł leksykograficznych języka rosyjskiego i polskiego. Stwierdzono w nim występowanie dużej liczby wyrażeń równoległych, których semantyka wykazuje znaczną zbieżność lub istotne podobieństwo w obu porównywanych językach. Wyjaśnienie tego zjawiska znajduje oparcie w czynnikach pozajęzykowych. Różnice w reprezentacji pojęcia „miłość” kojarzone są z narodową specyfiką mentalności, osobliwymi cechami rozwoju historycznego, a także charakterem kultury materialnej i duchowej narodów.

ON THE JOINT DISTRIBUTION OF TAX PAYMENTS AND CAPITAL INJECTIONS FOR A LÉVY RISK MODEL We study the joint distribution of tax payments according toa loss-carry-forward scheme and capital injections in a Lévy risk model, andprovide a transparent expression for the corresponding transform in terms ofthe scale function. This allows us to identify the net present value of capitalinjections in such a model, complementing the one for tax found in ourpaper [3]. We also apply the result to the situation when injections may be stopped at a constant rate, and in this case an explicit formula for the netpresent value of taxes and injections is given.
Tail asymptotics of signal-to-interference ratio dis­tribution in spatial cellular network models
Authors: Miyoshi Naoto , Shirai Tomoyuki
Published: March 2020

TAIL ASYMPTOTICS OF SIGNAL-TO-INTERFERENCE RATI ODISTRIBUTION IN SPATIAL CELLULAR NETWORK MODELSWe consider a spatial stochastic model of wireless cellular networks, where the base stations BSs are deployed according to a simple and stationary point process on Rd, d > 2. In this model, we investigate tail asymptotics of the distribution of signal-to-interference ratio SIR, which is a key quantity in wireless communications. In the case where the pathloss function representing signal attenuation is unbounded at the origin, we derive the exact tail asymptotics of the SIR distribution under an appropriate sufficient condition. While we show that widely-used models based on a Poisson point process and on a determinantal point process meet the sufficient condition, we also give a counterexample violating it. In the case of bounded path-loss functions, we derive a logarithmically asymptotic upper bound on the SIR tail distribution for the Poisson-based and -Ginibrebased models. A logarithmically asymptotic lower bound with the same order as the upper bound is also obtained for the Poisson-based model.

We give an explicit formula for one possible Bellman function associated with the Lp boundedness of dyadic paraproducts regarded as bilinear operators or trilinear forms. Then we apply the same Bellman function in various other settings, to give self-contained alternative proofs of the estimates for several classical operators. These include the martingale paraproducts of Bañuelos and Bennett and the paraproducts with respect to the heat flows.

On the longest runs in Markov chains
Authors: Liu Zhenxia , Yang Xiangfeng
Published: March 2020

In the first n steps of a two-state success and failure Markov chain, the longest success run Ln has been attracting considerable attention due to its various applications. In this paper, we study Ln in terms of its two closely connected properties: moment generating function and large deviations. This study generalizes several existing results in the literature, and also finds an application in statistical inference. Our method on the moment generating function is based on a global estimate of the cumulative distribution function of Ln proposed in this paper, and the proofs of the large deviations include the Gärtner–Ellis theorem and the moment generating function.
Asymmetrically tempered stable distributions with applications to finance
Authors: Arefi A. , Pourtaheri R.
Published: March 2020

In this paper, we introduce a technique to produce a new family of tempered stable distributions. We call this family asymmetrically tempered stable distributions.We provide two examples of this family named asymmetrically classical modified tempered stable ACMTS and asymmetrically modified classical tempered stable AMCTS distributions. Since the tempered stable distributions are infinitely divisible, Levy processes can be induced by the ACMTS and AMCTS distributions. The properties of these distributions will be discussed along with the advantages in applying them to financial modeling. Furthermore, we develop exponential Levy models for them. To demonstrate the advantages of the exponential Levy ACMTS and AMCTS models, we estimate parameters for the S&P 500 Index.

In this paper, by using a Fourier analytic approach, we investigate sample path properties of the fractional derivatives of multifractional Brownian motion local times. We also show that those additive functionals satisfy a property of local asymptotic self-similarity. As a consequence, we derive some local limit theorems for the occupation time of multifractional Brownian motion in the space of continuous functions.

Deszcz-Tryhubczak has two agendas in this volume: first, to explore the capacity of Radical Fantasy fiction to model for young readers the agency of youth forming collaborative, cross-generational, and possibly cross-cultural alliances to address glocal socio-political and/or environmental issues spawned by the injustices and inequities of late-stage capitalism; second, to model a new approach to participatory research, involving child readers not as subjects of study but as collaborative readers of texts. Deszcz-Tryhubczak provides a thorough examination of the problem of adult critics speculating about child readers based on constructed implied child readers rather than on actual children, then proceeds to identify how Childhood Studies may offer some productive means of thinking about and, more important, engaging with real children. She provides a clear definition of Radical Fantasy and brief readings of both core and marginal ex­amples of the genre. This contextualizes her description of her methodology and discussion of results from two research projects collaborating with young readers. Finally, Deszcz-Tryhubczak contends that participatory research is a way to move forward in children’s literature scholarship in a more democratic manner, and moreover that applying this methodology to Radical Fantasy is potentially also a means of engaging children in important debates on issues that are shaping their futures. I find this book a stimulating contribution to our understanding of youth reading that offers intriguing possibilities for further research.
An on Screen Philosophical Debate — Bishop Berkeley’s esse est percipi and Samuel Beckett’s Film
Authors: Uchman Jadwiga
Published: March 2020

Being well read in philosophy, Samuel Beckett was familiar with George Berkeley’s works and his concept of esse est percipi which was the foundation for the philosopher’s immaterialism and spiritualism. The great Irish artist used this idea to propagate quite different ideas. In his novels and plays the idea of being seen, and heard, is, in fact, closer to Martin Buber’s notion of the need for the other than to the Bishop’s understanding of the concept. In his only script, Film, Beckett presents a vision diametrically different from that of the bishop-philosopher. Focusing on life which, as he argued in the essay Proust, is an “expiation for the eternal sin of having been born,” the playwright states that even though the main protagonist desperately avoids being seen by people or even animals, he still exists. The idea is clearly specified in the introductory note to the script written by Beckett: “All extraneous perception suppressed, animal, human, divine, self perception remains in being.”
“Fantastic Dance of Images, Shapes, Forms”: Visuality and Fragmentation in Ann Quin’s Passages
Authors: White Hilary
Published: March 2020

This paper brings together aspects of visuality and fragmentation in Quin’s work, con­centrating on her 1969 novel, Passages, in order to tease out the effects and implications of Quin’s formal fragmentariness. The visuality manifests itself in Passages through Quin’s borrowing of compositional techniques from the visual arts — layering effects from painting, shaping and cutting techniques from sculpture, the whole method of the textual cut-up. Quin splits her narrative in two sections seemingly narrated by each of the main characters, one female and one male. Applying painterly techniques to the former and sculptural to the latter, Quin’s narrative implicitly explores the habitual feminisation or masculinisation of certain aesthetic categories and modes of epistemological enquiry, as well as the unequal power relations of gender politics within a social context. Quin’s textual fragments do on some level cohere into a whole, but it is one riven with uncertainties, provoked specifically by the elliptical nature of the narrative, and complicated by Quin’s blurring of boundaries of all kinds — between characters, between binary categories, between narrative moments and locations. This resistance to categorisation — both on the level of individual fragments or passages of text, and of Quin’s work more generally — invites readers and critics to question the frameworks in which they are trying to place the parts, to challenge the rigidity of the categories themselves.
Conceptualizing Measurement and Quantification in Hobongan: An Overview of the Lexicon and Uses
Authors: Perkins Marla
Published: March 2020

In this survey of the Hobongan lexical items, I identify patterns in the Hobongan understanding of measurement and quantification. In Hobongan, there are many terms for measurements, usually some form of estimation. Hobongan has a four-based counting system, and those forms are used to estimate one is one or hardly any, and four is quite a lot and function as articles in sentences. Hobongan has also borrowed more counting terms and has the lexical items necessary for precise quantification, but those quantifications are used primarily within certain domains, such as determining what they should be paid for gold that has been mined or what should be paid in fines after legal judgments. Estimates of measurements can reference common objects, such as segments of bamboo or the height of a standing human. Perhaps the richest aspect of the system is that of measurement, in which terms that provide ways to estimate temperatures, magnitudes, and other amounts can indicate the ways in which the Hobongan make estimates from contextual information and apply the terms in use. In Hobongan, measurements in the form of estimates are primary and obligatory. Quantification with numbers is exclusively a type of symbolic and symbolized reasoning that must be combined with the estimate terms in order to be acceptable and functional.
Housed Memories: Spatial and Temporal Portrayals in Virginia Woolf’s The Voyage Out
Authors: Pająk Paulina
Published: March 2020

Neurocognitive research has confirmed that people perceive and remember the “rooms of their own” similarly to their own bodies. These psychological discoveries yield important new insights into the oeuvre of Virginia Woolf, an avid diarist, flâneuse and experimenter, preoccupied with gendered memory and space available to women in the early 20th century. While there exists an important and growing body of work on Woolf’s interest into women’s emancipation and politics of space, the gendered connection between spatial and temporal aspects of her works remains a little researched area, particularly in the context of neurocognitive theory of memory. This paper argues that in The Voyage Out the representations of the protagonist, Rachel Vinrace, are structured around the processes of autobiographical remembering and spatial perception, as her private rooms serve as loci of her memory and identity. It is then possible to interpret Rachel’s rooms as her spatial portraits, which perceived by other characters tell their inhabitant’s life story. A similar role could be attributed to the autobiographical memory, which preserves their owner’s temporal portrayals in particular moments of her life.
Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz as Translator of Shakespeare
Authors: Romanowska Agnieszka
Published: March 2020

While theatre has always been the major force generating new translations of Shake­speare’s plays, the prerequisite assuring a successful i.e. theatrically functional rendering is the translator’s awareness of the theatrical potential of poetic drama. The combination of poetic and dramatic skills on the part of the translator, coupled with the interpretative reading that underlies all translation, provides a literary historian with interesting questions. How are the translator’s creative forces channelled to strike a balance between translating and playwrighting? To what extent should we perceive translated literature as an integral part of the writer–translator’s literary output? Is it possible to interpret one in the light of the other and can such interpretation enrich our understanding of the translated texts’ functioning in the target culture? Looking for answers to these questions, I focus on the blend of the poetic and playwrighting temperaments that characterise Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz’s translations of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet.
An Analysis of Junior High School Students’ Skill in Creating Written Compositions: A Research Report
Authors: Kaczmarczyk Maciej
Published: March 2020

This article is a report based on a qualitative study on the skills needed for junior high school students to produce written compositions in the context of creating a short message. This kind of research has been made necessary by the implementation of an obligatory exam for junior high school graduates, including a writing part in which there are some requirements to be met in order to obtain a positive grade. Although the recent educational reforms mean that junior high schools will no longer exist, this research is useful in the diagnosis of the writing skills of Polish teenagers that will be going into high school. The results have shown that the students had no major problems with such requirements as text organization, punctuation rules and with keeping to the word limit for a given written composition. On the other hand, however, the students showed the need for improvement in formal aspects of the written English language such as grammar, vocabulary accuracy and spelling and transition signals. Additionally, the meeting of requirements mentioning and developing three elements should be practiced more. For the purpose of the study, an analysis sheet has been implemented but no hypotheses have been put forth. The research group included 33 written compositions.
Intra-Individual Variability in the Emergence of Complexity, Accuracy and Fluency in Speaking English at Secondary School: A Case Study of a Good, Average and Poor Language Learner
Authors: Rokoszewska Katarzyna
Published: March 2020

According to Complex Dynamic Systems Theory CDST, language is a complex dynamic system consisting of subsystems which show a lot of variability, especially during intensive development. Second language development is generally connected with an increase in complexity, accuracy and fluency but there are trade-offs within and between these language subcomponents. What is more, intra-individual variability, defined as differences in the level of developmental variables within individuals and between repeated measurements, is said to be an important developmental phenomenon. The aim of this article is to analyze the relationships between different measures of syntactic complexity, lexical complexity, accuracy and fluency, and to examine intra-individual variability with respect to the rate of development in longitudinal oral data provided by a good, average and poor language learner at the level of secondary school. Generally, the results of the study show some statistically significant differences between the learners in the development of these language subsystems but no such differences in intra-individual variability. Nevertheless, the study indicates a strong, positive correlation between the learners’ level of intra-individual variability and the rate of development of the language subsystems in speech at this level.
English Indefinite Ordinals: A First Explanation
Authors: Berezowski Leszek
Published: March 2020

English ordinals are commonly preceded by the definite article but the pattern is not universal. There are quite a few well attested instances of English ordinals preceded by the indefinite article, which, strangely enough, have not been discussed in published research so far. The paper thus breaks new ground by documenting the pattern and offering an explanation of indefinite ordinal usages. In doing so, the paper draws on data culled from the Corpus of Contemporary American English and, in the absence of publications specifically focused on indefinite English ordinals, relies on broader accounts of the indefinite article. The paper shows that indefinite ordinal usages are well rooted in the meaning of the indefinite article and serve to express the speaker’s viewpoint.
„How many elephants?“ – Probleme mit der Begriffsbestimmung und Identifizierung formelhafter Äußerungen
Authors: Czarnecka Małgorzata
Published: March 2020

Der Begriff formelhafter Äußerungen umfasst unterschiedliche Arten von Wortverbindungen, die vom Gedächtnis als Ganzes gespeichert und abgerufen werden. Der Beitrag diskutiert zwei in diesem Zusammenhang zentrale Fragen: Wie können formelhafte Äußerungen definiert und identifiziert werden. Formelhafte Äußerungen sind nämlich so verschiedenartig, dass es schwierig ist, ihre Definition zu formulieren und ihre Merkmale zu beschreiben. Die derzeit existierenden Methoden der Identifizierung z.B. aufgrund von Häufigkeit werden kritisiert, denn alle haben ihre Nachteile; die Anwendung der Intuition, die häufig von der Forschung herangezogen wird, ist auch mit vielfältigen Problemen verbunden.“How many elephants?” — Problems with defining and identifying formulaic sequences The term “formulaic sequences” encompasses various types of word strings which appear to be stored and retrieved as holistic units from the memory. This article discusses two major problems in the study of formulaic sequences: how to define their features and how to identify these sequences in discourse. The problem is that formulaic sequences exist in so many forms that it is difficult to develop a definition of this phenomenon and to find the main characteristics of formulaic sequences. The existing methods of identifying formulaic sequences e.g. by frequency in the corpus can be used to some degree but each of them has its drawbacks. Even drawing on the individual’s intuition as the basis for identifying these sequences runs into its own serious problems.
Zooführer als Textsorte: Eine exemplarische Analyse mithilfe des integrativen Ansatzes
Authors: Gaman Iryna
Published: March 2020

Der Artikel befasst sich mit den Verwendungsmöglichkeiten der integrativen Methode für die Beschreibung vom Zooführer „Die schönsten Zoos und Tierparks“ von Brauns 1996. Dabei werden sowohl textexterne Kommunikationsbereich, Emittent-Rezipient-Verhältnis, Textfunktion, als auch textinterne Thema, Vertextungsmuster, Struktur und sprachliche sowie non-verbale Elemente der Textgestaltung Faktoren berücksichtigt. Diese Textsorte wurde noch nie zum Gegenstand der sprachwissenschaftlichen bzw. textlinguistischen Arbeiten. Die Analyse hat gezeigt, dass die Texte auf dem Darstellungsprinzip „vom Ganzen zu Teilen“ beruhen, wobei solche textstilistischen Muster wie Kontrastieren, Hervorheben und Veranschaulichen angewendet werden.Zoo guide as a text genre: Exemplary analysis based onan integrative approachThe article examines the possibilities of applying an integrative approach for the description of Brauns’ zoo guide The most beautiful zoos and animal parks 1996. At the same time it discusses extralinguistic sphere of functioning of the text, sender and recipient of the text, text function and linguistic factors complex of themes, topic structure of text segments, lexical items, grammatical structures, graphical means of highlighting. This text genre has not been an object of any text-linguistic study. The analysis has shown that the texts in question are based on the “whole-part” principle. In addition, the results revealed that the following stylistic devices were applied: contrast, highlighting and exemplifying.
