Rhetoric, Wit and Humour in Catullus 44
The paper analyses Catullus’s c. 44, a witty and ironic poem on the frigidity of the rhetorical style of a certain Sestius’. The aim of the analysis is to point at the relationship between c. 44 and other Catullan poems concerning the themes of friendship/companionship and literature. Comic elements, especially in the presentation of Catullus’ parasitus-like behaviour, will also be taken into account.
Phonological patterns in the speech of English-Polish bilingual children in Australia

Phonological patterns in the speech of English-Polish bilingual children in Australia. Initial Findings
There is lack of agreement among world researchers in regards to the extent of differences between the phonological development of monolingual and bilingual children. While some research provides evidence for the lack of significant differences, other studies indicate that bilingual children make phonological errors which might be considered atypical of their monolingual counterparts. If indeed bilingual children follow a unique path in their phonological development, it is important to investigate this path in order to facilitate accurate phonological diagnosis of bilingual children by speech pathologists. The present research, conducted with a group of ten pre-school and early schoolage English-Polish bilingual children in Australia, describes and compares the phonological patterns present in the speech of typically-developing children, when they speak English and Polish. Popular tests used by speech pathologists have demonstrated that the children have two separate but mutually dependent phonological systems, which are different from the systems of their monolingual peers. The research has noted a number of cross-linguistic errors, especially from English, that is the dominant language for the participants. Some of the phonological patterns identified in the study, although atypical of monolingual children, could be typical of English-Polish bilinguals. Knowledge about such patterns may facilitate accurate diagnosis of English-Polish bilingual children in Australia or in Poland if their parents decide to re-emigrate.
Staropołabskie teonimy *Svętovitъ, *Jarovitъ, *Rujevitъ, *Borovitъ: deadiectiva czy composita?
Authors: Łuczyński Michał

Old Polabian theonyms *Svętovitъ, *Jarovitъ, *Rujevitъ, *Borovitъ: deadjectival nouns or compounds?
The article reinterpretes the morphological structure of a series of Old Polabian theonyms: *Svętovitъ, *Jarovitъ, *Rujevitъ, *Borovitъ. In the literature, they are quite unanimously considered to be nominal compounds with the element *vitъ ‘dominus, potens’ but this author shows, based on a distribution analysis of the formant *-(o/e)vitъ in the Slavonic languages, that they should be viewed as suffixal derivatives in *-ov-itъ (in the attributive-possessive function), and from the formal point of view, as nouns coined from adjectival bases. The paper concludes with the supposition that theonyms created using this formula were a dialectal innovation and were most likely limited to Old Polabian mythological nomenclature. Probably, they were substitute names and, being appellative epithets, they only became independent in the function of theonyms.
Inżynieria lingwistyczna a obecna sytuacja językoznawstwa polskiego

Linguistic engineering and the current situation of Polish linguistics
The thesis of this reply to Piotr Żmigrodzki’s pessimistic diagnosis (published in the previous issue of „LingVaria”) of Polish linguistics from the perspective of modern lexicography is that the diagnosis from the perspective of linguistic engineering must be equally pessimistic – in fact, even more so. We argue that syntax and – to some extent – semantics are developed in Poland in isolation from developments outside Poland and the resulting analyses too often do not meet the usual criteria of preciseness and formal rigour. We end with an optimistic note showing that fruitful cooperation between computational and theoretical linguists is possible – even if rare – in Poland.
Ciągłość i zmienność jako problem badań diachronicznych
Authors: Siuciak Mirosława 
Published: April 2018

Continuity and variability as a problem in diachronic research
The paper concerns two interlocking phenomena of linguistic history – the stability of elements of language, which ensures a long-term communicative continuity, and the variability of the system and of the vocabulary, which is an inherent quality of every natural language. It has always been the variability that was seen as the primary indicator of a diachronic outlook on language, and the main research problem has been to describe and to date linguistic changes and their mutual relation in the historical linguistic process. It seems to be an interesting research task to invert the perspective and to concentrate on what is stable in the language and its usage, i.e. on the level of the grammatical system, vocabulary, and communication habits. It ought to be recognized that it is not just variability, but also the constant struggle of these two opposing tendencies, that causes language to be viewed as a dynamical system.
O ostrożniejszym aniżeli dotychmiast poezji średniowiecznej czytaniu
Authors: Rojszczak-Robińska Dorota 
Published: April 2018

On a more cautious than previously reading of mediaeval poetry
Studies of Polish literature of the Middle Ages often judge and evaluate the preserved literary works. This paper uses the example of the extant copies of the song Jezus Chrystus, Bog Człowiek (‘Jesus Christ, God Human’) to show the impropriety of this procedure. In the case of Polish mediaeval texts, it is never known whether the preserved version is the original one, or the result of decisions made by the copyists. Texts deserve a fair description, not a judgement.
Wobec braku źródeł
Authors: Stramczewska Olga 
Published: April 2018

In the absence of sources. On the traces of ACI in Rozmyślania dominikańskie
The paper presents syntactic analyses of Polish sentences containing the Latin construction of infinitive with accusative. All the sentences are from a single Old Polish monument, Rozmyślania dominikańskie, a Biblical-apocryphal narration of the Passion of Jesus. The author wonders what more than ten ACI constructions found in Rozmyślania can tell us about the character and the type of sources, and about how the writer made use of them. The paper takes into consideration the visible genetic multilayeredness of the text, the syntactic build of specific constructions, their semantics, and their distribution. As the comparative background, the paper uses another Old Polish apocrypha whose sources are well researched and described, Rozmyślanie przemyskie.
Co to jest kulturem?
Authors: Rak Maciej 
Published: April 2018

What is a cultureme?
The goal of the paper is to present culturemes, a concept used in cultural studies, glottodidactics, translation studies, and ethnolinguistics. As is the case with many terms in humanities, also cultureme has several understandings. In the ethnolinguistic perspective, culturemes are related to Anna Wierzbicka’s key words, Walery Pisarek’s flag words, and Michael Fleischer’s collective symbols. Polish research into culturemes was initiated by Alicja Nagórko who defines them as ‘key words which are important for the self-identification of a community, and which characterize both the community’s attitude towards tradition and inherited values, and how it copes with the present time and with the current experiencing of the world’. One as yet unrealized goal is to identify and list Polish culturemes; this is one of the more urgent tasks of ethnolinguistics.
O liczyć się z każdym groszem w kontekście problemu wyróżniania jednostek leksykalnych
Authors: Kosek Iwona , Przybyszewski Sebastian 
Published: April 2018

On liczyć się z każdym groszem ‘to count every penny’ in the context of limiting lexical units
The article discusses the status of the string liczyć się z każdym groszem ‘to spend money carefully, to count every penny’, lit. ‘to reckon with every penny’. The authors quote numerous instances from the Polish corpus, and claim that the formal and functional features of this expression indicate that its status is different from what can be gathered from dictionaries of Polish where it is treated as a variant of the multiword expression liczyć się z groszem. Opposing this claim, we indicate another meaning of the linguistic unit liczyć się z czymś, one not noted in dictionaries: ‘to dispose of something carefully’; accordingly, the strings liczyć się z groszem and liczyć się z każdym groszem are treated as instantiations of this unit.
Frekwencja a przemiany współczesnej normy wymawianiowej (w świetle dyskusji na temat NRSF Witolda Mańczaka)
Authors: Kurek Halina 
Published: April 2018

Frequency and changes in the contemporary orthophonic standard (in light of the discussion about Witold Mańczak’s irregular phonetic development caused by frequency)
The paper attempts to answer the question whether, in the case of rapid changes such as we currently observe in Polish, a linguist is able to determine if these changes are systemic, i.e. permanent, or remain at the stage of innovation, i.e. are temporary – and hence, whether he or she can declare a change in the linguistic standard and set to looking for its cause. The focus of the article is on the law of speech economy, redundancy, and frequency which is the most important factor correlated with change, as without it the optimal conditions for a phonetic process would not occur.
Polskie leksemy o rdzeniu nędz-/nud-
Authors: Krótki Zuzanna 
Published: April 2018

Polish lexemes with the nud-/nędz- root
The paper presents the lexical family with the root nud-/nędz-. The material, containing as many as 52 word forms, excerpted from all of the available lexicographical sources of historical vocabulary, has been presented in the form of a word-formative nest. The goal of the analysis was to reveal the internal structure of motivational relations between the centre of the nest, Proto-Slavonic nuditi, and a group of words of varying degrees of derivativeness. The conducted analyses have revealed the principal metaphorical analogies which contributed to the generation of new metaphorical senses of specific linguistic units, and also, made it possible to indicate and discuss the observed changes in their meanings.
Wielojęzyczność społeczności dawnych portugalskich kolonii w Afryce
Authors: Hlibowicka-Węglarz Barbara 
Published: April 2018

Multilingualism of the societies of former Portuguese colonies in Africa
The goal of the article is to present the multilingualism in the countries emerged from former Portuguese colonies in Africa where, alongside the official Portuguese, more or less numerous native African languages are to be found together with various mixed languages. All of the analysed countries are bi- or multilingual, in each the status of Portuguese is different, and so are the number and the status of national languages. In some, creole languages have developed while in others such mixed languages do not exist. One might ponder the reasons for this linguistic diversification, and as a result, observe both the differences and the shared characteristics of the analysed countries, and identify the factors that might have created this sharp contrast. It is the goal of the present paper to attempt to answer these questions.

Published: April 2018

The sociolinguistic status of Surzhyk
The paper presents the phenomenon of Surzhyk as a specific mixed sociolect in Ukrainian-Russian bilingualism. The first part describes the process of the rise of Surzhyk as a result of the expansion of Russian on Ukrainian, and the difficulties one encounters when classifying the term within the theory of language contact. The second part focuses on the current social attitude toward the phenomenon, and the role played by the media in the shaping of the social opinion regarding the competition of public use languages in the Ukraine. The summary contains a prognosis of the development and/or functioning of the phenomenon in practice.

Wokół jednostki symbolicznej [ktoś1] dotknął [kogoś2/czegoś] (studium semantyczno-kognitywne)
Authors: Domogała Aleksandra 
Published: April 2018

On the symbolic unit [ktoś1] dotknął [kogoś2 /czegoś] ‘someone touched somebody/something’. A semantic-cognitive study
The paper describes the symbolic unit [ktoś1] dotknął [kogoś2/czegoś] in the cognitive perspective. The starting point for a semantic-cognitive analysis in the present sketch are uses of the phrase excerpted from texts from various registers of contemporary Polish. Importantly, the author describes both concretizations and metaphorical extensions of the prototypical occurrence of the analysed unit. Basing primarily on the assumptions of cognitive grammar, she attempts to reconstruct the mechanisms initiating the emergence of specific uses of the analysed symbolic unit. She conducts an analysis of the senses of the phrase [ktoś1] dotknął [kogoś2/czegoś] within the framework of three domains: 1. physical space, 2. temporal, and 3. mental, and using the theory of image schemas.
Representações da violência no cinema de Pedro Costa
Authors: Figueiredo Guilherme 
Published: April 2018

THE REPRESENTATIONS OF VIOLENCE IN THE CINEMA OF PEDRO COSTA
This article aims to reflect about the violent reality represented by the Portuguese film director Pedro Costa in the Letters from Fontainhas trilogy. Fontainhas, an old slum in the outskirts of Lisbon, was the place where the Portuguese and people from the former Portuguese colonies lived until its demolition, by the end of the last century. The slum, which was built by the hands of the inhabitants, was the place where they established their relations, surrounded by poverty, but with an impressive community spirit. Due to the demolition they were relocated to new public housing. Pedro Costa reveals, in documental and fictional narratives, the hard reality of the Fontainhas inhabitants as well as the demolition and the bizarre transition to their new home.
Oratura como afirmação, combate e hibridação nas geografias iberófonas: o caso angolano de Manuel Rui

Published: April 2018

ORAL LITERATURE AS A MARK OF CULTURAL DIVERSITY, COMBAT AND HYBRIDIZATION IN IBEROPHONE GEOGRAPHIES – THE ANGOLAN WRITER MANUEL RUI: A CASE STUDY
The 15th century opened up “new” worlds to Portugal and Spain and saw the start of colonialism, which became global from the 17th century onwards. With Enlightenment, one can find the foundations of Eurocentric modernity that gave rise to the dark side of capitalism and imperialism: Europeans brought millions of slaves from Africa to carry out the construction of America and cultural epistemicide caused unnamable losses on both continents. The orature (oral literature) is a weapon used nowadays by the former colonized peoples of Latin America and Africa for the rescue and strengthening of cultures and traditions. In Angola, the writer Manuel Rui is a model in that ability to retransform the literary text.

Genetic diversity of Taenia hydatigena in the northern part of the West Bank, Palestine as determined by mitochondrial DNA sequences
Authors: Adwan Kamel , Jayousi Alaa , Abuseir Sameh , Abbasi Ibrahim , Adwan Ghaleb , Jarrar Naser 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Cysticercus tenuicollis is the metacestode of canine tapeworm Taenia hydatigena, which has been reported in domestic and wild ruminants and is causing veterinary and economic losses in the meat industry. This study was conducted to determine the sequence variation in the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (coxl) gene in 20 isolates of T. hydatigena metacestodes (cysticercus tenuicollis) collected from northern West Bank in Palestine. Nine haplotypes were detected, with one prevailing (55%). The total haplotype diversity (0.705) and the total nucleotide diversity (0.0045) displayed low genetic diversity among our isolates. Haplotype analysis showed a star-shaped network with a centrally positioned common haplotype. The Tajima’s D, and Fu and Li’s statistics in cysticercus tenuicollis population of this region showed a negative value, indicating deviations from neutrality and both suggested recent population expansion for the population. The findings of this study would greatly help to implement control and preventive measures for T. hydatigena larvae infection in Palestine.
Spectral analysis of the binary nucleus of the planetary nebula Hen 2-428 – first results

Published: April 2018

Abstract
Identifying progenitor systems for the double-degenerate scenario is crucial to check the reliability of type Ia supernovae as cosmological standard candles. Santander-Garcia et al. (2015) claimed that Hen 2-428 has a doubledegenerate core whose combined mass significantly exceeds the Chandrasekhar limit. Together with the short orbital period (4.2 hours), the authors concluded that the system should merge within a Hubble time triggering a type Ia supernova event. Garcia-Berro et al. (2016) explored alternative scenarios to explain the observational evidence, as the high mass conclusion is highly unlikely within predictions from stellar evolution theory. They conclude that the evidence supporting the supernova progenitor status of the system is premature. Here we present the first quantitative spectral analysis of Hen 2-428which allows us to derive the effective temperatures, surface gravities and helium abundance of the two CSPNe based on state-of-the-art, non-LTE model atmospheres. These results provide constrains for further studies of this particularly interesting system.
Fibrous composite material for textile heart valve design: in vitro assessment
Authors: Amri Amna , Laroche Gaetan , Chakfe Nabil , Heim Frederic 
Published: April 2018

AbstractWith over 150,000 implantations performed over the world, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become a surgical technique, which largely competes with open surgery valve replacement for an increasing number of patients. The success of the procedure favors the research toward synthetic valve leaflet materials as an alternative to biological tissues, whose durability remains unknown. In particular, fibrous constructions have recently proven to be durablein vivoover a 6-month period of time in animal sheep models. Exaggerated fibrotic tissue formation remains, however, a critical issue to be addressed. This work investigates the design of a composite fibrous construction combining a woven polyethylene terephthalate (PET) layer and a non-woven PET mat, which are expected to provide, respectively, strength and appropriate topography toward limited fibrotic tissue ingrowth. For this purpose, a specific equipment has been developed to produce non-woven PET mats made from fibers with small diameter. These mats were assembled with woven PET substrates using various assembling techniques in order to obtain hybrid fibrous constructions. The physical and mechanical properties of the obtained materials were assessed and valve samples were manufactured to be testedin vitrofor hydrodynamic performances. The results show that the composite fibrous construction is characterized by properties suitable for the valve leaflet function, but the durability of the assembling is however limited under accelerated cyclic loading.

Gradient-flow techniques for the analysis of numerical schemes for multi-phase mean-curvature flow
Authors: Laux Tim 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Several recent convergence results for numerical schemes for mean-curvature flow in particular in the multi-phase case with arbitrary surface tensions are discussed. The guiding principle of all these works is the gradient-flow structure of multi-phase mean-curvature flow which is explained in the general framework. For simplicity, the convergence results are presented in the simpler two-phase case.
