Hana Ponická’s appeal letter and the politics of exclusion
(Lingvokulturologické a prekladateľsko-tlmočnícke centrum excelentnosti pri Filozofickej fakulte Prešovskej univerzity, 2026) Vinczeová, Barbora; Koniarová, Vanda
This paper examines the political and moral stance of the Slovak writer, translator, dissident and activist Hana Ponická through an analysis of her appeal letter (August 29, 1977) written after a key act of repression: her expulsion from the Slovak Writers’ Union (SWU) (June 22, 1977). The primary aim is to contextualize this document as a form of civic resistance and self-articulation within the framework of communist cultural control in Czechoslovakia. Using a historical-literary analysis, the study situates Ponická’s complaint within broader mechanisms of institutional exclusion, surveillance, and punishment directed at nonconforming intellectuals. The article draws on accessible archival materials, including previously unpublished correspondence and official records, which allow for a more nuanced reconstruction of the events and their aftermath. By foregrounding Ponická’s own voice, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of dissent, gendered authorship, and ethical responsibility in Slovak literary history. The paper also contextualizes Ponická’s translations before and after the 1977 “annus horribilis”, highlighting the devastating impact her non-conforming activities had on her writing and translation.
Paysage culturel, mémoire et lieux parlants dans le roman Kukum de Michel Jean
(Masaryk University : Brno, 2026) Pecníková, Jana
L’article analyse le roman Kukum de Michel Jean à travers les concepts de paysage culturel, de mémoire collective et de lieux de mémoire. Inscrite dans la littérature autochtone québécoise contemporaine, l’oeuvre met en évidence le lien indissociable entre territoire, identité et mémoire au sein de la communauté innue. Le récit d’Almanda Siméon, personnage principal du roman, permet de saisir la construction et la disparition progressive du paysage culturel innu sous l’effet de la colonisation, de la déforestation et des politiques d’assimilation. S’appuyant sur les théories de la mémoire de Maurice Halbwachs, Pierre Nora et Aleida Assmann, l’analyse montre que la perte du territoire représente non seulement une transformation physique, mais aussi une rupture profonde de la mémoire culturelle et de l’identité collective. Le roman souligne également la relation spécifique des Innus à la nature, fondée sur l’adaptation et l’interdépendance. Kukum apparaît ainsi comme une réflexion universelle sur la fragilité des paysages culturels et sur le rôle de la littérature comme vecteur de mémoire.
Parental roles in child transport: Examining gender and municipality size in a post-socialist context
(Institute of Geography and Spatial Organization. Polish Academy of Sciences : Varšava, 2026) Rišová, Katarína; Chorvát, Ivan
Large cities are generally considered more liberal than small settlements regarding parental gender division of childcare. We questioned this paradigm in a post-socialist environment where working mothers of preschoolers are perceived as the norm. The study aims to examine the gender differences among parents when transporting children to preschool, car-sharing within a household, and whether they vary across municipality size categories in Slovakia. The data were collected during the nationally representative survey via face-to-face personal enquiries in households of heterosexual cohabiting parents (n = 844). Results showed that car-sharing within households did not depend on the municipality size category; however, it depended on the number of cars in a household. In families with only one car, the car was mostly used by the father. In all municipality size categories, mothers were primarily responsible for bringing children in and picking them up from kindergarten. Yet, the proportion of responsible persons varied significantly across municipality size categories. The fathers’ involvement in accompanying children was the lowest in the smallest municipalities. On one hand, mothers in medium-sized municipalities (10,000–19,999 inhabitants) faced the least burden due to the combination of fathers’ involvement and help from other relatives. On the other hand, help from other relatives was absent in the largest cities, where mothers accompanied their children to a similar extent as in the smallest settlements. The progressive values of parents in the largest cities are not sufficient to relieve mothers of parental responsibilities.
Using music philetics to optimise social climate in the classroom
(Queen Margaret University : Edinburgh, 2026) Kusý, Peter; Brisudová, Katarína
Music philetics is a classroom-based approach using structured musical activities to support pupils’ socio-emotional learning and peer interaction. This study examined whether a structured music philetics programme was associated with changes in classroom social climate in the lower secondary level of a Slovak primary school. We employed a non-equivalent groups pretest–posttest quasi-experimental design involving two intact sixth-grade classes from a rural Slovak primary school (intervention group n = 21; comparison group n = 20). Classroom climate was measured before and after the programme using the My Class Inventory (MCI; Lašek & Mareš, 1991), a 25-item instrument covering satisfaction, conflicts, competitiveness, learning difficulty, and cohesion. Following 15 sessions delivered within regular music education lessons (45 minutes each), the intervention group showed a reduction in conflict and competitiveness scores relative to the comparison group, alongside improvements in classroom satisfaction and cohesion. Findings are discussed in relation to the potential role of structured music-based classroom programmes in supporting everyday peer relations, while acknowledging methodological limitations of non-randomised designs and culturally specific measures.
Adequacy of representations as their approximation to truth: a non-factive theory of knowledge
(Springer Nature : Dordrecht, 2026) Taliga, Miloš
The paper introduces a new non-factive theory of knowledge, employing the recent theory of verisimilitude developed by Jakob Süskind to model the relative adequacy of representations as their approximation to truth. It makes the relation of representation one of the necessary conditions of knowledge without requiring the truth condition to be satisfied. However, the relation of knowledge to truth is built at the meta-level into the notion of the adequacy of representations, which enables the proposed theory to cover any thinkable case of research yielding real knowledge, although of a non-factive kind. Despite its universality, the theory relativizes knowledge to a set of research questions, while rejecting alethic relativism, which — it is argued — does not provide a satisfactory explanation of truth in reasoning about the growth and extinction of scientific knowledge.
Maska alebo respirátor? Faux amis v kontexte pandémie ochorenia COVID-19
(Lingvokulturologické a prekladateľsko-tlmočnícke centrum excelentnosti pri Filozofickej fakulte Prešovskej univerzity, 2026) Veselá, Dagmar
In this paper, we have attempted to highlight the problems arising from a lack of knowledge of terminology in the context of the health crisis caused by the new SARS-CoV-2 pathogen, which may occur when translating from French into Slovak and vice versa. Our research sample consisted of terms belonging to the category of so-called faux amis, for which we compiled short terminological records. These were the Slovak terms rúško, respirátor, pľúcny ventilátor and reprofilácia. We drew terminological information from dictionaries and terminological databases, but also from our corpus compiled from media texts. We documented the use of the analyzed terms in the context of the health crisis with examples drawn from our corpus, which we searched using the Sketch Engine corpus manager. We found that current Slovak and French dictionaries and terminology databases do not reflect the current state of terminology in the field of health threats. This can cause problems in translation, which can be very dangerous from a health protection perspective. The issue under investigation would require further research on a broader sample of terms, as the protection of public health during a pandemic also depends to a large extent on the level of terminology processing and its adequate use.
La place des anglicismes dans la terminologie française - l’exemple du terme bootstrap
(Nakladatelství Karolinum : Praha, 2026) Veselá, Dagmar
This article focuses on lexical borrowings into French, namely the anglicism bootstrap, which, in both the donor language (English) and recipient language (French), is polysemous, with a range of senses across various domains. The article defines a specific, specialized sense of the word, used in reference to the relatively new sphere of activity known as the creative economy. The article also outlines the process of searching for the word’s French equivalents using the Sketch Engine corpus manager. As evidence of bootstrap’s full assimilation into French terminology, the article presents examples of its derivatives in primarily online texts, using the web corpora French Web 2020 (frTenTen20) and French Web 2023 (frTenTen23).
Turistický sprievodca ako nástroj reprezentácie mesta: Turčiansky Svätý Martin a okolie (1934)
(Historický ústav Akademie věd ČR : Praha, 2026) Madura, Pavol
The paper examines the tourist guide Turčiansky Svätý Martin and Its Surroundings (1934) as a distinctive type of historical-geographical source. Published by the Local Branch of Matica Slovenská in Turčiansky Svätý Martin, the guide is analysed not merely as a practical handbook for visitors but also as a normative text that constructs a particular image of the town and shapes the visitors’ experience. The paper adopts a historical-geographical perspective and employs content, structural, and interpretative analyses of the guide. Particular attention is paid to the interrelationship between historical memory, national representation, and tourism in interwar Martin. The findings suggest that the guide played a significant role in constructing the image of Turčiansky Svätý Martin as the centre of Slovak national life and served as an important instrument of the cultural representation of the site.
Homonymy in phraseological units of the Slovak and Ukrainian languages: a comparative analysis
(Sumskyj deržavnyj universytet, 2026) Shekhavtsova, Svitlana
The article discusses the issues of a comparative study of homonymy in phraseological units of the Slovak and Ukrainian languages. The relevance of the topic is determined by the insufficient development of the problem of interlingual phraseological homonymy in Slavic linguistics, as well as by the practical needs of translation, lexicography, and intercultural communication. The aim of the study is a systematic comparative analysis of homonymous relations in the phraseological fund of the two languages, the identification of types of interlingual phraseological homonyms, and the development of an algorithm for their disambiguation. The research employs a comprehensive methodology combining lexicographic, componential, contextual, and comparative methods. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the developed four-component typology of interlingual phraseological homonyms, which takes into account structural, semantic, and functional parameters. The proposed typology includes: 1) absolute phraseological homonyms (units with complete formal correspondence but semantic divergence); 2) incomplete phraseological homonyms (units with partial correspondence of component structure); 3) contextual phraseological homonyms (units that acquire homonymous properties only in certain discourse conditions); 4) etymological phraseological homonyms (units with a common historical source that have undergone semantic divergence). The author developed disambiguation algorithm, which includes the identification of formal correspondences, analysis of the semantic fields of components, and contextual verification. The proposed typology and disambiguation algorithm allow for the systematization of existing linguistic material and the prediction of potential communication risks. Prospects for further research include expanding the source base with dialectal material, creating a specialized electronic corpus of phraseological units with marking of homonymous relations, as well as compiling a bilingual dictionary of interlingual phraseological homonyms.

On the specifics of parish prose as a genre of spiritual realism
(Intitut slavianovedenija Rossijskoj akademii nauk : Moskva, 2026) Cintula, Igor
The article is devoted to an interpretation of parish prose as a distinctive genre phenomenon within Russian literature of spiritual realism. The study is situated in the contemporary context of a reassessment of the literary heritage of the twentieth century, undertaken beyond former ideological constraints and with due consideration of the religious-philosophical, existential, and cultural factors of the period. The methodological premise of the research is the understanding of spiritual realism as a particular type of artistic thinking, within which realist poetics are combined with an orientation toward the metaphysical and religious-moral foundations of human existence. Special attention is given to the genre of “parish prose,” which is examined as a form of artistic expression focused on the everyday life of an Orthodox parish, the spiritual experience of clergy and laity, moral choice, repentance, and the inner transformation of the individual. The article analyzes the genre and stylistic features of this type of prose, including the chronicle-like mode of narration, an emphasis on documentary authenticity, a confessional and memoiristic character, narrative simplicity, and the predominance of skaz-like storytelling. The unity of the vertical (human–God) and horizontal (human–human) dimensions, which determines the concept of personality in parish prose, is emphasized. The study concludes that parish prose represents a unique phenomenon in Russian literature, capable not only of preserving but also of developing the traditions of spiritual realism, actualizing them within the conditions of the contemporary cultural situation. The results of the research may be applied in literary studies, courses on the history of Russian literature and religious culture, as well as in the analysis of contemporary prose. The materials of the article contribute to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of genre formation and the role of spiritual experience in the writer’s artistic thinking. This, in turn, expands the interpretative possibilities of the genre and confirms its significance in the current literary process and in shaping the value orientations of the modern reader within the context of the spiritual and moral quests of contemporary Russian society.
Sci-fi poézia Daniela Heviera
(Slovenská akadémia vied : Bratislava, 2026) Urbanová Šimková, Eva; Pešková, Adriána
Príspevok sa zaoberá transformáciami sci-fi poézie Daniela Heviera s cieľom identifikovať jej premeny od obdobia normalizácie až po súčasnosť. Autor v slovenskom kontexte predstavuje príklad vedomého narábania s prvkami science fiction, typickými pre svoju spätosť s prózou a naratívnymi žánrami, a funkčne ich implementuje do poézie. Prvá časť analýzy sa zaoberá identifikáciou a motiváciou tohto prenosu v zbierkach Nonstop (1981) a Elektrónkový klaun (1983). Jednotlivé sci-fi prvky sú v nich interpretované z pohľadu „šedých“ normalizačných rokov – tieto motívy neslúžili na opis predstáv technologického pokroku v budúcnosti, ale ako subverzívny nástroj spoločenskej kritiky a odmietnutie oficiálneho programu pokroku komunistickej strany. Zbierka Psí tridsiatok (1990) predstavuje posun k hravému využitiu týchto prvkov. Vývinový oblúk Hevierovho príspevku k sci-fi poézii nateraz uzatvára radikálna etická extrapolácia v zbierke Storočie konca (2021), ktorá sa zameriava na diagnostikovanie ľudského vedomia v kríze. Príspevok sa pokúša legitimizovať uvažovanie o sci-fi poézii, ktorá vytvára autentický priestor na reflexiu ontologických otázok a ekologických hrozieb v živote človeka.
Žánrové centrum a periféria v Hlase kotolne a motívy pre súčasnú webovú žurnalistiku
(Slovenská akadémia vied : Bratislava, 2026) Patráš, Vladimír
This contrastively constructed paper aims to present the genre composition of the rather inconspicuous, in its time attractively (proto-digitally) prepared “first post-revolutionary samizdat” Hlas kotolne (The Voice of the Boiler Room) and to indicate its value inspirations for today’s professional and civic internet journalism. Regarding genre representation, wide-ranging content, and pragmalinguistic rendering of publishing intentions, Hlas kotolne exposed itself as a persiflage, low-circulation, low-cost periodical. The thought-provoking observations, actions, and statements of chamber-unengaged non-journalists, professionally unorganized contributors – enthusiasts of allusive, non-schematic Slovak writing in the aftermath of the fresh social change from December 1989 to 1992 were disseminated in an activist manner, yet without internet support, through unofficial, group and community contacts. This paper focuses on the genre representation in the periodical, emphasizing selected genre characteristics – theme, function, composition, form, and linguistic-stylistic inventory. The activated genres are stratified according to the dominant genre criteria and their expected and/or anticipated importance or value in the service of the edition under study into central and peripheral circuits. The findings and insights gained by analyzing the databank of copies of Hlas kotolne published during its short existence have resulted in the outline of value contours that had been more or less developed and should or could have been effectively applied in the Internet journalism of the first quarter of the 21st century.
Po stopách kritičiek: Zora Jesenská a Alžbeta Göllnerová ako kritické hlasy tridsiatych rokov 20. storočia
(Slovenská akadémia vied : Bratislava, 2026) Pešková, Adriána
The article offers a probe into the critical work of Alžbeta Göllnerová-Gwerková (1905–1944) and Zora Jesenská (1909–1972) in the 1930s. Its aim is to analyze the literary-historical and sociological contexts of their entry into the sphere of criticism, as well as selected texts in which they responded to tendencies in mainstream literary-critical thought while also opening themselves to broader engagements with social and cultural criticism, revealing their understanding of criticism as part of the ethos of the democratic state. Methodologically, the study draws on the concept of the phasing of female identity (Libuše Heczková) and the postcritical concept of working with texts (Rita Felski), tracing the gradual transformations that prepared a stable background for women critics’ critical work in the 1930s. In its analytical section, the article examines two thematic areas: the points of departure for the more active engagement of these actors in the women’s emancipation movement and their dialogue with the mainstream criticism of the period through reflection on shared questions, where the “pulsation” of literary development becomes visible, including with regard to the self-regulation of criticism.
Achilles' heel' and democratic society
(Uniwersytet Jagielloński : Kraków, 2026) Pecníková, Jana; Huťková, Anita; Pavlovičová, Miriam
The study examines the well-known and metaphorically often used, popular idiomatic expression ‘Achilles’ heel’ in the Slovak corpus of journalistic texts, in the context of social and democratic processes. The research is based on the ethnolinguistic explanation of the phraseological units containing the word ‘heel’. The study uses the tools of corpus linguistics to verify the frequency, collocation fields and contextual use of given phraseological phrases. It focuses on identifying key areas of Slovak society that are named in journalism by the unflattering attribute of the Achilles’ heel, i.e. a weak, vulnerable point, etc. The research is carried out in two corpora: 1. in the corpus of written texts prim-10.0-public-inf (SNK public inf version 10.0, Size: 1,163,232,349) and 2. in the time-limited corpus of the SME daily in the period since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine 01/2022 – 06/2023.3 The comparison of the two corpora points to different weak and vulnerable points (the so-called Achilles’ heels) of Slovak society (and democracy) as they appear in journalistic texts.
Theory and practice of translation in the humanities and social sciences in soviet Ukraine, 1920s-1930s
(Charkivskyj nacionaľnyj universytet imeni V. N. Karazina, 2026) Kalnychenko, Oleksandr; Kolomiyets, Lada
The translation of non-fiction prose in the humanities and social sciences, despite its significance, long remained on the periphery of translation studies discourse. In Soviet Ukraine during the 1920s–1930s, this process was complicated by the ideological pressure of the Marxist-Leninist paradigm and the transition from Ukrainization (1923–1929) to Stalinist Russification and censorship. Unlike fiction, translation in the humanities and social sciences demanded exceptional terminological precision and was fully subordinated to ideological requirements. The purpose of the article is to examine the emergence and development of non-fiction prose translation in the humanities and social sciences of Soviet Ukraine in the 1920s–1930s within the context of political and linguistic transformations. The research methods are based on Anthony Pym’s “archaeology of translation”: a manual bibliographical reconstruction of the corpus from library catalogs and archives (since no systematic lists exist), supplemented by comparative and terminological analysis. The main findings indicate that Oleksandr Finkel’s monograph Theory and Practice of Translation (1929) was a pioneering work regarding non-fiction translation in the USSR and became institutionalized at the Kyiv Institute of Linguistic Education. In the 1920s, hundreds of direct translations from German, French, and English were produced in pedagogy, psychology, philosophy, and Marxism. From the early 1930s onward, direct translation was gradually replaced by Russian-mediated versions, while censorship intensified. The 1933 resolutions of Narkomos and the 1933–1934 campaign against “nationalistic translator-saboteurs” led to the russification of terminology and widespread repressions. The conclusions highlight the evolution of translation in the humanities and social sciences—from an intellectual breakthrough of the Ukrainization era to totalitarian control. Despite the losses, translational activity in this field laid the foundations for connections with global scholarly thought. The study reveals the mechanisms of subordinating language to ideology, mechanisms that remain relevant to the contemporary decolonization of Ukrainian science.
Socio-political neologisms in sketch engine corpora: A cross-linguistic French-Spanish-Slovak comparative study
(Ústav cudzích jazykov : Zvolen, 2026) Ráčková, Lucia; Reichwalderová, Eva
This paper examines a selection of contemporary socio-political neologisms in French, with the primary objective of identifying their possible neologistic equivalents in Spanish and Slovak. To achieve this aim, we analyse data drawn from three comparable corpora of present-day language available in Sketch Engine: frTenTen23, esTenTen23, and skTenTen23. These linguistic resources provide valuable evidence about the frequency, contextual usage, and collocational behaviour of recently coined lexical units. By contrasting the corpus data, we aim to observe how neologisms originating in French can be adapted, translated, or calqued in Spanish and Slovak. We hypothesize that the identification of neologistic equivalents will be easier in Spanish than in Slovak due to their closer morphological and lexical proximity to French. Furthermore, the study explores productive word-formation suffixes and their cross-linguistic correspondences. The findings are expected to contribute to research on lexical innovation and have practical applications in French–Spanish, French–Slovak, and Spanish–Slovak translation studies.
A contribution to Czechoslovak-Yugoslav economic relations in the 1920s
(Fondacija "Za srpski narod i državu" : Belehrad, 2026) Jakab, František
The study focuses on Czechoslovak-Yugoslav economic relations during the 1920s. Its aim is to analyze the reasons for their problematic development, which never fulfilled their potential enabled by the differing nature of the economies, close political ties, and membership in the Little Entente. The results, based on a review of secondary literature and archival research in Prague and Belgrade, identify the main causes of this failure as the character of Czechoslovak economic policy, its expansionist nature, and the rejection of Yugoslav imports. Furthermore, bilateral complications in negotiations on trade agreements, the introduction of import duties, and numerous disputes typical of Czechoslovak-Yugoslav trade cannot be overlooked. Economic relations that could have strengthened bilateral ties ultimately became their weakness.
Kuzmányho hymnická báseň Sláva šľachetným
(Fondacija "Za srpski narod i državu" : Belehrad, 2026) Lomenčík, Július
The aim of this article is to use interpretative sketches to discover the humanistic semantics of Kuzmány's hymn "Glory to the Noble" which is, from the philosophical perspective, a classic example of Hegel's dialectic triad. The conclusion points to the still valid ideological message of this hymn (today known under the title "Who Burns for Truth") in the promotion of truth, freedom and equality.
Nica ako kľúčová križovatka narácie v generačnom románe Ôsmy život (pre Brilku)
(Univerzita Konštantína Filozofa v Nitre, 2025) Šedíková Čuhová, Paulína
This article examines nino haratischwili’s The eighth life (for Brilka) as a key example of the contemporary generational novel, focusing on narrative strategies, memory, and gendered narration. Drawing on theories of generational storytelling and postmemory, it analyses how individual life stories intersect with collective historical trauma shaped by twentieth-century Georgian and soviet history. central to the analysis is the female narrator nica, who occupies a dual role as both participant in and mediator of intergenerational memory. The study interprets the metaphor of the carpet as a structural model of memory, emphasizing its layered, non-linear, and recursive organization. Female characters function as narrative nodes that preserve, transmit, and reinterpret family history, while the recurring motif of the “magical” chocolate disrupts linear temporality and reinforces cyclical patterns of trauma. The article argues that the novel constructs memory as a dynamic narrative practice that challenges linear historiography and foregrounds the openness of the future.
