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.
Enhancing transformational literacy in Slovakia: implementing service awd e-service learning in academia with no previous experience
(Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II. : Lublin, 2025) Javorčíková, Jana; Strnádová, Petra
This study investigates university instructors’ awareness and readiness to implement service learning (SL) and electronic service learning (e-SL) within higher education, with a focus on Slovak departments of languages at Matej Bel University (MBU). Using qualitative data from interviews with ten instructors, the study explores perceptions, institutional support, and barriers to SL and e-SL adoption. Results reveal general awareness of SL, but limited familiarity with e-SL. Most participants indicated a willingness to undergo SL/e-SL training. However, a gap exists between the university’s strategic commitment to SL and its practical support at the faculty level. This misalignment may hinder broader adoption of the methodology. The study concludes that successful implementation requires not only awareness and training but also structural and cultural shifts within academic institutions. SL and e-SL offer significant potential for advancing civic responsibility, inclusive education, and community engagement, yet their effectiveness depends on holistic institutional support and the redefinition of faculty roles.
Humanities and social sciences translation in Soviet Ukraine in the 1920s–1930s
(Ústav svetovej literatúry SAV : Bratislava, 2026) Kalnychenko, Oleksandr; Kolomiyets, Lada
This study explores the translation of humanities and social sciences texts in Ukraine during the 1920s–1930s, a time of cultural and political shifts. The Soviet Ukrainization policy (1923–1929) drove a surge in translations of scholarly works in pedagogy, psychology, philosophy, and Marxist theory from German, French, and English. Scholars like Oleksandr Finkel, Mykola Zerov, and Mykhailo Kalynovych developed advanced translation theory, with Finkel’s Teoriia i praktyka perekladu (Theory and practice of translation, 1929) emphasizing genre-specific strategies for non-literary prose. The early 1930s reversal of Ukrainization and Stalinist Russification suppressed Ukrainian linguistic autonomy, imposing Russian intermediary translations and branding translators as “nationalist saboteurs”. Despite the repression, these translations enriched Ukrainian intellectual life, even as political terror erased many works from history. Funded by the EU NextGenerationEU through the Recovery and Resilience Plan of the Slovak Republic under Project No. 09I03-03-V01-00148. Funded by the Foundation for Baltic and East European Studies (Sweden) as part of the project “De/colonizing Ukraine: Practices of Russification and Modes of Resistance 1922–1991” under Project No. 24-PR2-0020.
On comprehensively critical rationalism, relativism, and fake criticism (a reply to Armando Cíntora)
(Universidad del Valle : Santiago de Cali, 2026) Taliga, Miloš
In his paper, Armando Cíntora (2024) argues that the notion of criticizability, I proposed in my paper (Taliga, 2022) to show that critical rationalism can be comprehensive and non-paradoxical at the same time, faces the challenge of relativism. In this reply, I shall first summarize the notion of criticizability and Cíntora’s objection to it (Section II), then I shall argue that creationists or flat-earthers introduced by Cíntora (2024) do not do criticism, but fake criticism (Section III), and, finally, I shall explain why, and how, that blocks Cíntora’s charge of comprehensively critical rationalism from relativism (Section IV).
The first wave of retranslations in Soviet Ukraine (1930s-1950s): russification and ideological control
(Helvetica : Kropyvnyckyj, 2025) Kalnychenko, Oleksandr; Kalnychenko, Nataliia
This article examines the phenomenon of retranslation in Soviet Ukraine during the 1930s–1950s, framing it as a tool of ideological control, cultural rewriting, and Russification under Stalinism. Drawing on historical and comparative analysis, it identifies the first wave of retranslations and revised editions as a response to shifts in Bolshevik national policy, particularly the 1933–1935 campaign against “nationalist sabotage” in translation. The study contrasts the approaches of the 1920s, which emphasized stylistic fidelity and cultural autonomy (“homologous translation” or “translation-stylization” as defined by Volodymyr Derzhavin), with the imposed literalness and ideological conformity of the Stalin era, which favored orientation toward the Soviet reader, Russian language norms, and Soviet ideology (“analogous translation”). Case studies include retranslations of Nikolai Gogol's Taras Bulba (Andriy Nikovsky's 1930 version vs. Antin Khutoryan's 1935/1948 Russified edition) and Ethel Lilian Voynich's The Gadfly (Maria Lysychenko's 1928 Ukrainianized translation vs. Maria Ryabova's 1935 standardized version). Using bibliographic data, theoretical works, and textual comparisons, the article reveals how retranslation and revised editions contributed to the ideologization of translation norms, the erasure of names of repressed translators, and linguistic unification. The conclusion emphasizes that retranslation reflected the evolution of Ukrainian national identity, serving both as an instrument of domination and resistance, and highlights post-Stalin efforts in the mid-1950s and 1960s to revive authentic Ukrainian translation practices.
Ethnopoetic aspects of I. S. Shmelev’s prose in short stories "Christ’s All-Night Vigil" and "The Light of Reason"
(Petrozavodskij gosudarstvennyj universitet : Petrozavodsk, 2026) Leonov, Ivan Sergejevič; Cintula, Igor
Based on the short stories “Christ‘s All-Night Vigil” and “The Light of Reason,” this article examines the ethnopoetic aspects of the “parish prose” of Ivan Sergeevich Shmelev, a writer of the first wave of Russian emigration whose work is deeply connected to the Orthodox Christian worldview. It reflects the specifics of the spiritual life of the individual and society within the context of the historical changes in early 20thcentury Russia. The study focuses on identifying and analyzing the features of parish prose. Currently regarded as a phenomenon of the contemporary literary process, the genesis of this genre is nonetheless inextricably linked to the philosophical and artistic quests of precursor writers such as F. M. Dostoevsky, N. S. Leskov, B. K. Zaitsev, and I. S. Shmelev himself. Shmelev’s late work is marked by an evolution from critical to spiritual realism: the significance of liturgical and non-liturgical parish motifs increases, becoming sacred symbols of the loss and eventual return of Russia as a spiritual ideal for the writer. The article analyzes key motifs and artistic devices (categories of sacred time, symbolic imagery, themes of repentance and sanctity) that convey the depth of inner spiritual experience and the importance of Orthodox world perception amidst changing historical and cultural realities. It is concluded that an analysis of selected short stories by Shmelev through the prism of ethnopoetics and axiology helps to reveal not only the literary and stylistic specifics of the writer’s works but also new ways of perceiving Russian spirituality and Orthodox values in émigré literature. This approach creates a perspective for further research into the genre of parish prose and spiritual literature within Russian culture.
Different languages, different landscapes? Exploring linguistic differences in landscape conceptualizations
(De Gruyter Poland : Warsaw, 2026) Mácha, Přemysl; Ainiala, Terhi; Bijak, Urszula; Bughesiu, Alina; Crljenko, Ivana; Felecan, Oliviu; Geršič, Matjaž; Gondeková, Veronika; Koščová, Michaela; Laansalu, Tiina; Mačutek, Ján; Rapa, Sanda; Reszegi, Katalin; Skorupa, Pavel; Vainik, Ene; Vlahova-Angelova, Maya; Vrachionidou, Maria; Zymovets, Halyna
The goal of the research was to assess whether landscape conceptualization systematically differed across European languages in the context of the linguistic relativity debate. We examined the generalizability of previous findings and evaluated the limits of used methodologies, drawing on a large and diverse sample of 14 languages across 5 linguistic families in Eastern Europe (Slavic, Baltic, Uralic, Romance, Hellenic). Participants were asked to free-list terms associated with three linguistic domains: landscape, animals, and body parts. Mixed ANOVA, pairwise comparisons, frequency distribution, cognitive salience, and semantic network analyses were used to test for relationships and to visualize patterns and differences between languages. We confirmed that the landscape domain was less structured than the domains of animals and body parts. Furthermore, the landscape domain had weaker semantic connections across languages. However, we did not find any systematic differences in landscape conceptualizations across languages that could be clearly attributed to linguistic factors. Rather, we argue that the observed variability is more likely the result of multiple factors – geographical, cultural, and linguistic. Building on previous research, we propose more nuanced methods in future research that integrate qualitative, ethnographic insights with quantitative methods, while accounting for extra-linguistic factors.

Semiotická krajina banskobystrického krematória a jeho okolia: Nekropola
(Ostravská univerzita v Ostravě, 2025) Bachledová, Marianna
This paper examines the semiotic landscape of cemeteries, focusing on the Necropolis in Urnový háj, Banská Bystrica, Slovakia. Slovakia can be characterised as a Central European cultural space shaped by intertwined Catholic, secular, and post-socialist traditions, where commemorative practices mirror the coexistence of collective memory, religious symbolism, and modern consumer culture. This paper explores the intersection of memorial spaces and commercialisation, questioning the balance between public commemoration and private marketing. Using ethnographic linguistic landscape analysis (ELLA), the study highlights how language, symbols, and architecture form a semiotic network influenced by sociocultural and economic factors. Findings show that cemeteries function as collective cultural texts, reflecting societal values and historical narratives. The Necropolis, with its promotional elements, disrupts its solemnity, eliciting mixed public reactions. The study also underscores how commercialisation and urbanisation reshape cemetery perception. The fading symbolic meaning of gravestones further complicates public engagement with memorial spaces.
Pedagogical grammar as the framework of TEFL research. Part 19. Correlation between the form of rules of linguistic and pedagogical grammars
(Charkivskyj nacionaľnyj universytet imeni V. N. Karazina, 2025) Chernovatyi, Leonid
The nineteenth paper in the series continues to discuss the correlation between linguistic (LG) and pedagogical (PG) grammars in the development of communicative grammar skills. This time, the author addresses the issue of the form of LG and PG rules, aiming to answer a series of questions. What is the general attitude of researchers towards using LG grammar information in the classroom? Are LG rules effective for grammar teaching in their current linguistic form? How can their efficiency be increased by changing their form, bearing in mind the psychological nature of the process of developing grammar skills? An analysis of contemporary literature on this topic revealed a significant shift in attitude towards explicit focus on linguistic form in teaching, moving away from the zero tolerance of LG information in communicative language classrooms of the 1970s and 1980s. While maintaining strict adherence to the communicative nature of teaching and the prevalence of meaning-focused tasks in the classroom, researchers also acknowledge the importance of explicit attention to form for language acquisition. Stressing the teacherʼs role as a facilitator, the authors praise the use of pre-task modelling techniques, which positively impact learnersʼ attention to linguistic forms and facilitate second language skill development. Conversely, the author cautions against the uncritical revival of grammar-translation techniques, asserting that PGʼs primary objective is to foster studentsʼ communication abilities rather than their comprehension of LG structure. Based on this, he suggests that PG can disregard the principles of LG structure and establish its own rules, which may differ from those of LG. The author convincingly demonstrates the validity of this principle using examples from the pre-zero-tolerance era and shows the potential of types of pedagogical information such as models and algorithms as specific forms of PG rules. The author suggests a number of requirements for PG rules, promising to extend this list in his next contribution to the series.
Analyse des néologismes affixaux par le biais de Sketch Engine
(Institut za jezik i književnost, Filološki fakultet : Nikšić, 2025) Chovancová, Katarína; Ráčková, Lucia
Le présent article sʼintéresse à lʼutilisation de l’outil de pointe en matière de corpus Sketch Engine créé en 2004 à l’Université Masaryk de Brno, République tchèque dans le cadre dʼune recherche sur les néologismes. Nous allons éclaircir les points forts et faibles de ce site web en nous servant de notre propre expérience de recherche en néologie lexicale, notamment sur le lexique de la période de la propagation du virus SARS-Cov-2 (2020 – 2022). Lʼéchantillon de la recherche sur la crise sanitaire a été élaboré à partir du quotidien Libération. Pour ce faire, nous allons présenter brièvement le logiciel dʼorigine tchèque et par suite procéder à lʼapplication de ses fonctions dans la recherche en question. Comme le Sketch Engine favorise l’analyse quantitative et le recueil des données statistiques, il est à supposer que le principal défi pour l’utilisateur consiste à traiter des données de nature qualitative, particulièrement au niveau sémantique de la langue. Même si le logiciel, grâce à la possibilité de travailler avec des corpus vastes, montre de nouvelles tendances dans la création des mots en français, le manque de lemmatisation, dʼétiquetage des affixes et de références temporelles est à constater. Pour les langues à lʼécriture plus développée, y compris le français, le travail des chercheurs est rendu encore plus difficile vu lʼortographe contenant des accents qui complique la recherche des entrées. Les résultats scientifiques obtenus peuvent être utiles aux lexicographes pour une recherche et un traitement plus efficaces des nouvelles unités lexicales, ainsi que pour l'amélioration des méthodologies de création de dictionnaires, et ce, également aux linguistes de corpus et autres spécialistes travaillant sur les langues et les lexiques variés.
Proposition de formation en traduction spécialisée centrée sur la maîtrise des compétences interpersonnelles, interculturelles et transversales
(West University of Timisoara, 2025) Biloveský, Vladimír; Mešková, Ľudmila
This paper presents a proposal for the preparation of translators of non-literary texts that takes into account changes driven by globalization, labour markets, and developments in IT and AI. These changes, in turn, alter the translator’s role, competences, and skills. The model develops interpersonal and transversal competences, the use of various CAT tools and localization techniques for translating non-literary texts. It also supports the development of intercultural competence, which is essential for translators in today’s globalized world. Finally, it points to a balanced relationship between the translator as a human being and AI. The model is a balance between curriculum content and organization on the one hand, and other players in the translation market on the other.
Language under strain: somatic expressions with 'tooth/teeth' in Slovak news media (a corpus-based study of expressive phrasemes in political and war contexts)
(Sveučilište u Rijeci : Rijeka, 2025) Huťková, Anita; Pecníková, Jana
This study investigates expressive phrasemes containing the word tooth/teeth as they appear in the Slovak daily journal SME. The primary aim is to highlight their linguistic forms and expressive functions within journalistic discourse, focusing on established phraseological patterns, stylistic devices (e.g., proverbs, sayings), as well as metaphorical and metonymic imagery. We examine the semantic structure of tooth in somatic phrasemes through conceptual profiling, drawing on the ethnolinguistic frameworks of Wierzbicka (1985, 1996), Bartmiński (2010), and Vaňková & Vitkovskaya (2014). Our objective is to uncover the cognitive structure and to assess its expressive potential within the specific thematic context of the war in Ukraine. The study employs methods of corpus linguistics and pragmatic stylistics, using textual data from a dedicated corpus of SME articles published between January 2022 and May 2023. This corpus was compiled by the Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava at the request of the authors.
