Interleukin-35: A key player managing pre-diabetes and chronic inflammatory type 1 autoimmune diabetes
Authors: Chakraborty Ratul , Mukherjee Ashis Kumar , Bala Asis
Published: September 2024

Interleukin-35 (IL-35) is a novel protein comprising IL-12α and IL-27β chains. The IL12A and EBI3 genes are responsible for its production. The study of IL-35 has experienced a substantial increase in interest in recent years, as demonstrated by many research papers. Recent clinical studies have shown that individuals who do not have a C-peptide have notably reduced amounts of IL-35 in their blood serum. This is accompanied by a drop in the percentage of IL-35+ Treg cells, regulatory B cells, and CD8+ FOXP3+ cells that produce IL-35. This article em-phasizes the potential significance of IL-35 expression in governing the immune response and its involvement in chronic inflammatory autoimmune diabetes in pancreatic inflammation. It demonstrates IL-35's ability to regulate cytokine proportions, modulate B cells, and protect against autoimmune diabetes. However, further investigation is necessary to ascertain the precise mechanism of IL-35, and meticulous planning is essential for clinical studies.
Napaka v ogledalu procesa učenja tujega jezika
Authors: Pirih Svetina Nataša
Published: September 2024

The paper presents a method of error analysis as one of the possible approaches in analysing and interpreting the language production of learners of a foreign language, in this case and, as illustrated by examples, Slovene. The error is defined as a failed part of language and as a form or a combination of forms produced by the learner. These forms would not have been produced by a native speaker in the same context and the same sort of circumstances. Steps in error analysis are presented briefly: from data collection, error identification, error description, classification, to evaluation.
Stil in identiteta
Authors: Juvan Marko
Published: September 2024

After the decline of the paradigm, based on the treatment of the text and author, research styles in literary studies became subject to serious criticism (textcentricity, aesthetic ideology, organicism, dualism). Contextual approaches in literary studies and linguistics ascribe a new significance to the notion of ‘style’ as correlated with the humanistic conception of ‘life-style’: style is an index of the identity of a text and its subject in the multilingual aspect of culture.
Pisatelj Milan Pugelj kot pomemben člen v kratkoprozni ustvarjalnosti iz začetka 20. stoletja na Slovenskem (2. del)
Authors: Bošnjak Blanka
Published: September 2024

Part 2 of the article gives a brief comparative analysis of Pugelj’s short stories and those written by two great European writers of short story – Guy de Maupassant and Anton Pavlovich Chekhov. Pugelj’s attachment to naturalism was mentioned by Kocijan. Several literary historians and other researchers of Pugelj’s work, among them Lavrin, Pregelj, Karlin, Koblar, Mahnich, Zadravec, and more recently A. Koron, have all stressed the explicit influence of Maupassant and Chekhov.
Pismenost za svetovni splet: kako brati digitalna novomedijska besedila
Authors: Strehovec Janez
Published: September 2024

In a contemporary, extremely multi-dimensional world, which is increasingly becoming defined by new media forms of communication, the question of literacy also needs to be defined in its plural form, since in addition to the known, i.e. literary literacy, other forms of literacy are becoming topical in the light of one's necessity to orient through modern documents, which are increasingly engaging the multimedia, and to navigate through their collections. One such type of literacy is also literacy for the world wide web, which is dealt with in the present article in the sense of reading and writing web documents, navigating through the web and reading non-linear, specifically rhizomatic structures, demanding from the user an understanding of labyrinth environments and the ability to navigate through them. Web literacy also presupposes the ability for subtle processes of identification, for working with virtual environments and for understanding the logic of databases.
Priprava, izvedba in pomen perceptivnih testov za fonetično-fonološke raziskave (na primeru analize fonoloških parov)
Authors: Tivadar Hotimir
Published: September 2024

The perception tests illustrated in the article, designed according to the Prague School of Phonetics, are an attempt to make the research and appropriate evaluation of spoken language objective, which will undoubtedly contribute to the research of the Slovene language as something that can be empirically tested. What is really important in listening comprehension is an adequate design and implementation of testing certain phonetic properties. The focus of research was the recognition of certain segments (phonemes /e/ and /E/, and /o/ and /O/) and supra-segmental features (the phonological length of phonemes /a/, /i/, /u/).
Prozaist Kajetan Kovič
Authors: Borovnik Silvija
Published: September 2024

The article points out that Kajetan Kovič is far too frequently researched “only” as an outstanding poet, who provides contemporary Slovene poetry with classic, harmonious beauty, colour and tone. Unfortunately, more frequently than not, his interesting prose work is neglected, although it can undoubtedly be considered among the best prose written at the end of the 20th century.
Kolokacije in učenje tujega jezika
Authors: Gorjanc Vojko , Jurko Primož
Published: September 2024

The article addresses the question of learning lexis as one of the core questions in foreign language acquisition. Learning lexis is placed parallel to learning grammar, adding that in the communicative approach to learning a language with lexis at its very centre, which signifies a much wider domain than a mere selection of single lexemes, grammar is also absorbed. With the awareness that our brain stores a dictionary as communicative parts of language and not as single lexemes, the article then presents collocations as one of the most important segments of learning lexis and their placement within a contrastive situation. A model of lexical functions is offered as a possible model of learning collocations, arising from the experience of both authors in learning Slovene and English as a foreign language.
Angleški končni -e in Slovenski pravopis,
Authors: Ilc Gašper , Stopar Andrej
Published: September 2024

The article discusses some aspects of Slovene orthography related to the (non-)omission of the word-final mute -e in the Slovene declination of English proper nouns (cf. Slovenski pravopis 2001, § 772). It shows that the existing rule fails to cover all phonological properties of mute -e, which is reflected in the inconsistent spelling of English nouns in Slovene oblique cases. The discussion reveals the need to modify the existing orthography rule(s), perhaps in a manner that would allow for the general (non-)omission of the word-final mute -e.
Razvoj dramatike Dušana Jovanovića,
Authors: Borovnik Silvija
Published: September 2024

Dušan Jovanović, whose dramatic opus has gone from Luddism and engaged political drama enwrapped into playful intertextuality and enclosed by sharp, gallows satire, developing into sensitive intimate playwriting and making a return to gallows humour, is one of the most expressive contemporary Slovene playwrights. According to research in literary history and criticism, the true value of his plays, written so that they can be added to and altered during their staging, is in the fact that they are a witty account of both the Slovene present and recent past. The article is an analysis of Jovanović’s dramatic opus, focusing on the numerous novelties and idiosyncrasies of the playwright’s poetics, which have influenced the development of Slovene playwrighting in the second half of the 20th century.
Branka Lazar, Zvonka Praznik in Jerica Snoj, Prislovi v sinonimnem slovarju
Authors: Ahlin Martin
Published: September 2024

The dictionary description of adverbs in the dictionary of synonyms poses some questions to Slovene lexicography which have not been answered so far. In the existing dictionaries, particularly adverbs formed from adjectives are mainly not semantically independent dictionary entries, but are usually illustrated as sub-entries to base adjectives with reference to their adjectival meaning. When determining and describing synonymous relations there is a need arising for an independent semantic description which takes into account adverbial categorisation. The article illustrates some examples of solving questions concerning this matter by juxtaposing lexicological findings about Slovene adverbs so far, with the demands posed by the treatment of synonymous adverbs in the dictionary of synonyms.
Feministične literarnovedne raziskave – tukaj in zdaj
Authors: Mihurko Poniž Katja
Published: September 2024

When compared to other European countries and the rest of the world, research projects involving the domain of feminist literary studies began to develop fairly late in Slovenia. Nevertheless, there has been a growing interest in feminist literary studies in Slovenia lately, and it seems that there is now a sufficient number of researchers, both male and female, to organise a scientific symposium on one of the topics that belong to the field of feminist literary studies.
Jezikovna ozaveščenost kot motivator zanimanja za jezik
Authors: Grosman Meta
Published: September 2024

The article favours language teaching facilitating a more permanent linguistic knowledge, advocating a functional literacy necessary in this day and age. The modernisation of language teaching, which was introduced in some European countries to raise literacy, has shown that the implementation of such teaching requires the raising of pupils' language awareness, entailing an in-depth understanding of the importance of language and its role in human lives, its impact on creating and maintaining human relations, social interactions, thinking, and successful learning. A convincing knowledge of actual language use encourages pupils’ interest in the function of language and motivates them to use it actively. To achieve this goal constant support on the part of the teacher is required; in addition, care for the pupil’s positive self-image, as well as a relaxed atmosphere are also necessary, promoting interaction between pupils and teachers.
Pristopi k izdelavi leksikalnih podatkovnih zbirk
Authors: Fišer Darja
Published: September 2024

The paper presents WordNet and EuroWordNet, lexical databases in which concepts are linked with lexical and semantic relations. In the past decade, similar lexical databases for other languages have been based on them, for which two approaches have mostly been used: the creation of independent wordnets and their subsequent integration into multilingual lexical databases, and the expansion of existing lexical databases into the target language by translating the entries and adopting relations between them. Due to the great automation potential of the network creation process and a uniform structure of the resulting databases, the latter approach has become very popular. This is why the given model was tested in this paper for its ability to create a Slovene wordnet, and the results were compared to its language-motivated counterpart acquired from the Fida corpus as well as other mono- and multilingual language resources for Slovene.
Devovi epigrami v Pisanicah

Published: September 2024

Parallel to its development in German Enlightenment literature epigram appeared also in Slovene poetry of the period. Between the years 1779 and 1781, Janez Damascen Dev published four epigrams in the first Slovene poetry almanac Pisanice, while six remained in manuscript form for the fourth volume. The article discusses structural features and the character of epigrams.
Merila za oblikovanje korpusov usvajanja tujega jezika
Authors: Stritar Mojca
Published: September 2024

A corpus of foreign language acquisition is a representation of the language spoken and written by its native speakers. The article demonstrates the existing corpora of foreign language acquisition for English, French and Norwegian. In order to achieve a representative corpus, various rules need to be considered when such corpora are created, including the first and target language, transmitter, textual representation technique, corpus size, text type, topic, rules applied by its native speakers, control corpus and applicability. The solutions in the existing corpora are evaluated from the point of creating a corpus of Slovene as a foreign language. In the conclusion, basic guidelines for the creation of such a corpus are proposed.

Refleksivnost diskurza pri mednarodnih govorcih – raba v angleščini kot lingui franci
Authors: Mauranen Anna
Published: September 2024

English has become the global language of science and scholarship, used overwhelmingly by non-native speakers. This makes English as a lingua franca (ELF) an intriguing area of research into variation and change:when one language is in contact with virtually any other language in the world, what happens to this language? Discourse features are a case in point: we may assume that discourse reflexivity increases in lingua franca use. It makes discourse more explicit, which is important in multicultural encounters. This paper explores discourse reflexivity in the speech of people using English as a lingua franca in university settings. Findings suggest that reflexive functions and discourse collocations operate in ELF in a similar way to L1 English. Differences appear at a more subtle level of form-function relationships: in ELF speech, forms were often approximate rather than accurate, some form-function pairings were ignored, and some specific, minor functions of certain expressions were not used.

The article aims to give a brief outline of the specific features pertaining to subtitling as part of the polysemiotic environment in which it takes place. It also defines subtitling as the intermediate area between spoken and written discourse, which is also formed by certain translation strategies. The author of the article aims to show limitations to which subtitles are subjected with a brief analysis of the frequency of two metadiscourse elements in the translations of the American sitcom Gilmore Girls. By doing so the article sheds light on reduction and condensation, the two translation strategies closely related to this topic.
Predstavitev avtorja v čeških in slovaških znanstvenih besedilih
Authors: Čmejrková Světla
Published: September 2024

This paper poses the question of how academic writers present themselves to the audience and focuses on the functions of forms of self-reference in Czech and Slovak scientific discourse. For scientific texts, the Latin rhetoric tradition recommended the so called pluralis modestiae or pluralis auctoris as an appropriate linguistic means of self-presentation of the writer, conveying his modest and non-imposing approach to the reader. Whereas in the English academic setting this habit has been abandoned in favor of the more responsible “I” presentation, writers of Slavic linguistic and cultural background still adhere to the “we” textual self. The paper focuses on the function of the we-perspective in Czech and Slovak scientific texts and distinguishes between their ideational, interactional and textual functions.

Discourse markers are expressions which contribute little or nothing to the content of discourse, but have an important pragmatic function, since they connect content, organize discourse, express attitude towards the interlocutor, the content, etc. Even though the number of studies focusing on discourse markers within the framework of pragmatics has been growing steadily, very few researchers have focused on the issue of discourse marker use and its dependence on genre. This paper examines discourse markers in spoken Slovene by analyzing their use in two different conversational genres, a television interview and a telephone conversation. Our main goal is to establish which differences between the two genres can be observed in different usage of discourse markers. In our analysis contextual factors are deliberately ignored regardless of the fact that they, of course, also influence the features of a genre.
Učni korpus SSJ in leksikon besednih oblik za slovenščino
Authors: Arhar Špela
Published: September 2024

The main purpose of the article is the presentation of the preparation of the training corpus and the lexicon of word forms for Slovene. With a scope of 400,000 words, the existing corpus presupposes four-level manually checked annotation: lemmatisation, morphosyntactic and syntactic annotation, and named entity recognition. Together with the JOS100k corpus, the SSJ corpus forms a training corpus of half a million entries for training statistical models, such as for the purposes of morphosyntactic tagging and parsing of Slovene texts. The lexicon will provide approximately 100,000 units, containing morphological paradigms of individual words with a selection of data, in line with the JOS system of morphosyntactic annotation. The inclusion of information about the (derivational) connectedness of lexical units is foreseen, and in the case of observed form variation in language use we will also include information about the frequency of forms and the current definition in normative sources. The inclusion of multiword units is foreseen on the level of multiword proper nouns and forms for which there are variants that are written together and apart.

Published: September 2024

The article presents the initial work in the construction of a new reference corpus for Slovene. This will be an upgrade of the FidaPLUS corpus and will be divided into two parts: the first containing one hundred million tokens and the second containing the difference up to a billion tokens. The taxonomy of the corpus is presented, with the approximate division of various types of text, along with a brief explanation of the principles guiding this taxonomy. Certain other key principles that will determine selection are also listed. The selection of texts on the basis of various data, from which it is possible to at least approximately make inferences about the reception and production of the publicly published Slovene texts, is still in progress.
Večjezičnost v institucijah Evropske unije – ali res deluje?: slovenščina v Svetu EU
Authors: Stritar Mojca , Stabej Marko
Published: September 2024

With the aid of a written questionnaire, an analysis of the language position of Slovene representatives in working groups and committees of the European Council was undertaken. On the whole, these representatives are satisfied with the interpreting and translation services available, in spite of difficulties such as specialist terminology, technical problems and delays with translations into Slovene. Although interpreting is provided relatively frequently, Slovene representatives use the Slovene language rather rarely, especially in informal situations. The English language prevails, which is also the language of which the Slovene representatives have the best knowledge, while the language that presents them with the most difficulties in communication is French. The use of Slovene language seems most important to the representatives primarily from the symbolic point of view, while in practice they use just one working language. Nonetheless, half of the representatives questioned are in favour of the existing multi-linguistic system within the institutions of the EU, while some of them believe that having English as the only working language would be a functional and financially efficient system.
Ekološko usmerjena literarna veda in Prežihove samorastniške novele
Authors: Čeh Steger Jožica
Published: September 2024

As one of the most contemporary literary science disciplines, cultural ecology is based on the hypothesis of complex analogies between natural and cultural ecosystems. At the centre of its research is the relationship between nature and culture, as it seeks to go beyond traditional thinking about their opposition. It advocates a functional model of literature, within the framework of which literature establishes itself as cultural-critical metadiscourse, imaginative antidiscourse and reintegrative interdiscourse. In Prežih’s Samorastniki nature is understood in the traditional sense; however, the opposition between nature and culture as a whole does not correspond entirely to other binomials (female/male, emotion/intellect, etc.). In the article the short stories of Samorastniki are observed from the viewpoint of cultural-critical and antidiscursive function.

Published: September 2024

With her fairy tales, writer Svetlana Makarovič addresses both child readers and adult readers. The short contemporary fairy tale Rdeče jabolkowas published in 2008 by the Centre for Slovenian Literature. The initiative to produce Rdeče jabolko came from Kaja Kosmač, who was the book’sco-author, as well as being its illustrator and designer. The authors addressed the work to adult readers and mature youth readers. Rdeče jabolko is intertextually linked with the motive of Little Red Riding Hood, which in the ATU index of fairytale types is labelled withthe number ATU 333 (Hans Jörg Uther 2004: 224). This motive can be found in the past in many cultures. The present discussion focuses on a version fromthe oral tradition from the 11th century, as well as on the variants of Little Red Riding Hood by Charles Perrault from 1697 andthose by the brothers Grimm from 1812–1815 and 1857.
Baladni ritem usode: metametrične značilnosti balad Svetlane Makarovič na ozadju širšega mednarodnega izročila
Authors: A. Novak Boris
Published: September 2024

The author treats three dimensions of the original, powerful and rich poetics of Svetlana Makarovič. The first topic is the semantic motivation of thetraditional ballad meter in the poems written by the contemporary Slovene poet Svetlana Makarovič: she has re-semanticised meter as the stride ofDestiny, as an inevitable step of Death. The second topic is the genre nature and the form of her ballads, which do not stem just from the Slovene folktradition, but fruitfully revive the meta-metrical features of other types of ballads from the wider European and Mediterranean space as well. Throughthe modernised Slovene ballads of Svetlana Makarovič we can also hear the original dance rhythm of the Italian ballata (and the influence of theMozarabic zéjel), the circular structure of the medieval French ballade, the dramatic force of the English and Scottish ballads, and the narrative models of the German Volksballade and Kunstballade. The third theme is the phenomenology of Evil: the poet shows theviolence committed by male-dominated authoritarian society against those who are weaker, especially children and women. She gives a terrifying insightinto the close relationship between the lust for power and sexuality.

Svetlana Makarovič is one of the most representative Slovene youth authors. She has introduced numerous innovations into Slovene youth literature:original imaginative space (Kosovirja), original perspective (a non-anthropocentric view of the world), original construction (the postmoderntext Potepuh in nočna lučka), subversive style (the use of original curses, problematic themes, zoomorphism and anthropomorphism), linguisticoriginality (na čomop), original denominations (človekarji; kosovirja, mba, ščeper), the characterisation ofindividuals (Kazimir, Nedamir, Baroness Tintengern, Temrazbov, Žabotka), social criticism for children (Leva in desna roka) and redefinition(the use of familiar elements in a new content). A further characteristic of the author’s work is writing for two groups of readers: the text is aimedat children, while the context is addressed to adult readers.

Published: September 2024

Education is crucial to the process of integration of immigrant children into a new environment, while knowledge of the new environment’s language is a precondition for the successful completion of the educational process. Language is, of course, far from being the only factor that contributes to more rapid integration and successful education, but the reality is that immigrant pupils achieve better results in those countries that devote greater attention to foreign/second language learning. Having limited our research to the first generation of immigrants, in the present paper we discuss the role of Slovene language in the education of immigrant pupils.
Ali osnovnošolski učitelji aktivno vključujejo učence priseljence v pouk?
Authors: Budinoska Ines
Published: September 2024

The article presents the results of research carried out within the framework of doctoral studies, focusing on teachers as shapers and leaders of the pedagogical process. The central issue is whether and how teachers adapt their work in regular classroom activities for classes including immigrant pupils who have recently entered a Slovenian school and are not yet in command of the Slovenian language. The research investigates the strategies adopted by teachers and the ways in which inclusion of immigrant children in school practices, both linguistically and in general, is implemented. It also determines whether potential discrepancies arise between the declarative opinions of teachers on the inclusion of immigrant pupils into school and the practices that they actually adopt.
Drama kot oblika (iz) »predmiselnega kaosa«
Authors: Lukan Blaž
Published: September 2024

The article is an analysis of Vitomil Zupan’s last play Notes on the System (Zapiski o sistemu, 1975) from 1975. The play has barely received mention in the Slovenian literary-historical context, and the few references to it are marked by entirely arbitrary judgements about its supposed critical view of the “socialist system” of the time. A more notable response was elicited by the play’s production in the Glej Experimental Theatre in 1979, when theatre critics on the whole praised the achievements of the director, while finding fault with some of the formal features of the play. The present article engages with these “faults”, which are instead understood as new, transcendent qualities of the text, with which the author surpasses the set boundaries of Slovenian theatre production of the time, and, in a way, also surpasses “himself”. The line of thinking follows two directions: the first is “formal” and shows the Notes on the System to possess dramaturgical or formal elements that would much later be instituted by postdramatic (or theatre) practice, while the second relates to the content, finding ideological configurations in the text that go far beyond simplistic truisms.

The article deals with the problem of adapting texts for children with special needs, focusing mainly on children with speech and language disorders. The first part presents the theoretical aspects of literary adaptations and specifications for the adaptations of texts for people with special needs in the field of language. We then present the existing literary adaptations for this population published in the Slovenian language. The second part of the discussion presents part of a case study that was carried out directly during the teaching of Slovenian at the Maribor Centre for Hearing and Speech, during which 8th grade students with speech and language disorders read Tavčar’s Visoška kronika.
Polglasnik v slovenskem spontanem govoru prebivalcev Obale
Authors: Volk Jana
Published: September 2024

The article presents the results of an instrumental analysis of schwa in the spontaneous speech of speakers from the Slovenian coast. The measurements of schwa in spontaneous speech were compared to the measurements of the vowel systems of Slovenian and Italian languages (since they are geographically the closest measurements) obtained in regions across the Italian border. Finally, they were compared to the measurements of the vowel system of standard Slovene. The results of the perceptive analyses of the vowel system of coastal speech indicate that the predicted schwa in the speech of coastal speakers is not realised the same way in all categories, and can even vary in the same speaker. A separate analysis was therefore undertaken for the pronunciations of individual speakers and pronunciations in the context of frequency categories of schwa according to the Slovenian Normative Guide, Slovenian Grammar, and standard Slovenian pronunciation.

The article focuses on prescribed narrative texts for the Matura examination from 1995 to 2019. It sheds light on the frequency of the appearance of narrative texts in the selection (in comparison to dramas) and the literary historical, generic and thematic diversity of such texts. It also examines the need to expand the selection and the possibilities for doing so. Particular attention is devoted to assessment as one of the goals of the systemic didactics of literature, and to the problem of its practical realisation in the school essay as the most complex form of literary examination on the secondary school level.
Pravljice starejših slovenskih pisateljic v literarni tradiciji in vzgojno-izobraževalnem sistemu

Published: September 2024

The article explores early Slovenian fairy tales by female authors who published their works in book collections prior to World War II: Lea Fatur, Marica Gregorič Stepančič, Marijana Grassellini Prosenc (pseud. Anka Nikolič), Ljudmila Prunk, Marija Wirgler (pseud. Marija Jezernik), Manica Koman, Ilka Vašte, Elza Lešnik and Sanja Sever. The fairy tales by these authors introduced innovations into the Slovenian fairy tale tradition on the levels of content, form and style, despite the fact that contemporary literary reviewers did not always recognise their merits. The article also touches upon the possible inclusion of these works in school practice following the didactical goals written in the curriculum for the subject of Slovenian language and literature in primary school.
Razlikovanje med stanjem in trpnikom na primerih iz korpusa akademske slovenščine
Authors: Agović Haris
Published: September 2024

The passive voice is quite rare in Slovenian due to a tradition that does not recommend its use except in certain types of text. In Slovenian, the passive voice is built with the participle with -n/-t or with se, although the form with se is quite rare. The problem arises when the participle does not express the passive voice but rather the state. There is a rule to distinguish the two meanings: when an active (or passive) construction is being transformed into a passive (or active) construction, the tense and the verbal aspect should not be changed. Based on examples from the corpus, it will be shown that this rule is not always correct.
Karakterizacija v romanih Plamenice in solze ter Ženska francoskega poročnika
Authors: Spasković Nastja
Published: September 2024

The subjects in postmodern narratives are extremely variable. Although there is no uniform definition that would define their characteristics, Aleid Fokemma offers starting points for their determination. The article discusses questions about the subject in postmodern literature and offers a comparison of the Slovenian postmodern novel Plamenice in solze by Andrej Blatnik and The French Lieutenant’s Woman by John Fowles as a starting point for insight into the characteristics of the postmodern literary character.
Slovenščina z ruskim naglasom: jezikovni profil ruskogovorečega priseljenca
Authors: Makarova Tominec Irina
Published: September 2024

The article offers a preview and a linguistic evaluation of the most typical errors identified in Slovenian speech production of Russian-speaking migrants. The study is based on a transcription of interviews with ten informants, mostly beginner speakers of Slovenian, focusing on problem-solving mechanisms in L2 communication in two related Slavic languages. The research is theoretically based on concepts used primarily in contemporary Russian psycholinguistics (Tsejtlin, Gagarina, Dobrova, Jelisejeva, Polinskaja, Vojejkova, Zalevskaja), dealing with the process of language acquisition in both the first and the second language.
Tujci, prvi roman Ivana Cankarja
Authors: Zupan Sosič Alojzija
Published: September 2024

Ivan Cankar’s first novel Tujci (Strangers, 1901) surpassed the level of previous Slovenian novels in many ways. The paper examines two innovations in depth: essayisation (discursivity) and genre syncretism. In explaining digressive innovation, I shed light on the fundamental antagonisms of Cankar’s narrative, expressed through irony and satire, directed by strong (social or socialist) empathy. I consider genre syncretism and interpret triple love failure as triple alienation – alienation from the homeland and a foreign country, from art and work, and from women and family – and finally synthesise all of these alienations through the gap between town and countryside. The complex research indicates not only the outlines of future novelistic poetics, but also Cankar’s philosophical potential, reflected in the thought cores and their subtle unmasking of various phenomena.
Slovenska baročna pridiga
Authors: Širca Alen
Published: September 2024

The article discusses the Baroque sermon as a special literary genre that belongs to so-called nonfiction literature. It is limited to the three main authors who managed to publish their texts in printed form at the end of the seventeenth and the beginning of the eighteenth century. These are the Capuchin preachers Janez Svetokriški and Rogerij Ljubljanski, and the Jesuit Jernej Basar. Of these, the most important is certainly Svetokriški. Slovenian literary history has recognised the literary qualities in his Sveti priročnik, especially where it uses distinctly narrative elements (exempla, fables, short humorous texts). In content and style, the sermons of Roger of Ljubljana (Palmarium Empyreum) are similar, except that they contain less humour and fewer references to the contemporary social context. Among Roger’s literary virtues is a sense of poetic language, as evidenced by his translations of Latin poems embedded in his sermons. The work of Jernej Basar (Conciones) represents a new type of ascetic-meditative sermon in the Slovenian language. This work, too, contains some typically Baroque elements, such as the theme of vanitas mundi, although in part it already approaches the classicist type of sermon, perhaps influenced by Paolo Segneri.

Odnos do jezika in dvojezičnosti pri dijakih na dvojezičnem italijansko-slovenskem območju v Italiji
Authors: Ožbot Martina
Published: September 2024

The paper reports the findings of a questionnaire-based study of high school pupils from Slovenian and Italian state secondary schools in the bilingual areas of Gorizia/Gorica and Trieste/Trst. Over the past years, there has been some rapprochement between the two principal ethnic communities, the Italian majority and the Slovenian minority, which can be perceived, among other things, in a heightened interest in Slovenian language and culture among the majority Italian community. The questionnaire, which focuses on three topics (pupils’ linguistic identity, their view of an ideal language situation, and their attitude towards bilingualism and multilingualism), reveals that the two groups of pupils have more common points than points of divergence. Both groups are well aware of the importance of a knowledge of languages and of the value of bilingualism. Understandably, the views of pupils from Slovenian schools are more influenced by the local situation, in which they feel more urgently the need for the minority language to be represented. Some stereotypical perceptions of the Other persist, but on the whole it appears that the local environment is characterised by a significant openness towards and interest in the Other.
Antična retorična perspektiva sporazumevalne zmožnosti kot potencial njenega sodobnega raziskovanja in poučevanja
Authors: Žmavc Janja
Published: September 2024

The paper outlines some conceptualisations of public speaking that derive from classical rhetoric and its pedagogy and represent the basis for a more comprehensive understanding of the role of oral performance as a task of the vital speaker within the process of composing. At the same time, it draws attention to the problem of the absence of a rhetorical perspective in modern conceptualisations of communicative competence in the context of teaching Slovenian and suggests possible starting points for creating a more comprehensive approach to the implementation of speech activities.
Od kod do kod slovenščina? Pravorečna in pravopisna vprašanja pri poučevanju slovenščine kot tujega jezika
Authors: Pirih Svetina Nataša
Published: September 2024

The article takes as its starting point some observations based largely on practical experience in learning and teaching Slovenian as FL. Several questions regarding orthoepy and orthography are raised, but instead of offering straightforward answers, some insights are provided into the future perspectives of teaching and assessing Slovenian as L2 and FL, primarily in the field of orthoepy and to a lesser extent orthography. All of the suggestions are based on the new Common European Framework of Reference for Languages – Companion Volume.
Adaptacije češkega jezika na slovaškem in njegove oblike v slovaških literarnih besedilih v obdobju narodnega preporoda
Authors: Vojtech Miloslav
Published: September 2024

The paper analyses the position of Czech language as one of the two elements of diglossia in Slovak culture and literature between 1780 and 1843, when Ľudovít Štúr’s codification was adopted. It discusses the relationship between Czech and the first norm of standard Slovak, codified by Anton Bernolák in 1787. The focus is on linguistic tendencies that brought Czech closer to pre-standard forms of Slovak, based on Central Slovak dialects. An analysis is undertaken of orthographic, grammatical and lexical modifications of the Czech orthographic norm in the territory of today’s Slovakia, as well as their forms in literary texts by Slovak writers. The paper also introduces Slovak theoretical works that concentrate on researching adaptations of the Czech orthographic norm in the Slovak milieu. Linguistic and literary analyses of the situation in Slovak literature in the first half of the nineteenth century reveal a significant weakening of the position of Czech in Slovakia. This is confirmed by the strong Slovakisation of Czech in the 1830s and 1840s, as well as Štúr’s codification of standard Slovak in 1843, which concluded the process of the language integration of Slovaks.
O izgovarjavi angleških zemljepisnih imen v slovenščini
Authors: Stopar Andrej , Ilc Gašper
Published: September 2024

The article focuses on the pronunciation of English place names that appear in Slovenian in a (semi-)citation form. By using reference manuals (Slovenski pravopis and Govorni pomočnik) and analysing language use (audio/video recordings of the national broadcaster and the corpus of spoken Slovenian, GOS), we examine the extent to which Slovenian speakers follow the prescribed Slovenian pronunciation of English place names. An analysis of the data shows that there are occasional discrepancies between the norm and language use, which stem from incorrect transphonemisation, the influence of the English spelling of words, and incorrect analogies.

Primary school teachers are the first people (in addition to educators) to make contact with pupils in the process of upbringing and education. In the present paper, we start from the hypothesis that they (can) influence the spelling ability of pupils and consequently their later functional literacy. The transfer power of the teacher’s example is therefore especially important, and proper spelling awareness is a condition for this. The results of the research show that almost all of the surveyed teachers (N = 208) completely agree that their positive attitude towards language is crucial for pupils in general. They also believe that they can encourage the development of spelling skills in each pupil through their own example.Spearman’s correlation coefficient shows, inter alia, that teachers’ holistic spelling skills are related to competency self-assessment, and that there is a positive relationship between different categories of teachers’ spelling skills. The result of the t-test shows, inter alia, that teachers who receive additional education in this field perform better on average in spelling tests than teachers who do not, which indicates the need for the permanent upgrading of this type of knowledge among primary school teachers.
Predložna raba in njene skladenjskopomenske vloge znotraj stilističnih in normativnih možnosti
Authors: Žele Andreja
Published: September 2024

The treatment of prepositional use is carried out both from the semantic-expressive and the stylistic-normative points of view. With its relative – or rather grammatical – meanings, the preposition continually addresses the question of normative and stylistic use. The present article aims to shed some light on prepositions as components of prepositional phrases, sentences and texts. Their capacity to form different prepositional relations enables them to reach beyond the borders of the proposition and sentence to the text itself, a phenomenon of considerable importance in terms of language efficiency, particularly in scientific texts. It can be concluded that the extension of prepositional use has close links to the broadening and specialisation of scientific texts. As important building blocks of syntax, prepositions therefore remain worthy components of stylistic and normative treatments.
