<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> In 1951, in the period after Stalin’s intervention against Marrism, young Slovak archaeologist and historian Ján Dekan published a study Za stalinské riešenie otázok etnogenezy [For the Stalinist Solution of the Questions of Ethno-genesis]. The present paper shows that hidden behind the Marxist terminology, a worth reading and worth considering work on the topic of the rise and development of languages can be found. With the help of the concept of four paradigms of historical (historical-comparative) linguistics, Dekan’s study is evaluated as a text fitting into the revisionist paradigm, characteristic by the assumption of a balanced role of divergence and convergence in language development. Further relationships of the Dekan’s work to other theories and principles of language development are discussed</abstract>

Ján Dekan K Vývoji Jazyků

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> The study focuses on the communication-oriented analysis and interpretation of semantic and communicative (illocutive) functions of the Slovak conjunction kým [‘while’]. Research is based on the text material of the Slovak National Corpus containing synchronic dynamics of the sentence in which the conjunction kým [‘while’] expresses temporal and/or contrastive meanings. Kým [‘while’] is understood as a poly-semantic and poly-functional word which forms relations of limitative, successive, simultaneous and contrastive-simultaneous coincidence between an independent clause (P) and a whileclause (Q). Regarding the semantic functions of the conjunction, the study also discusses the function of temporal and pragmatic collocations, and complementary and competitive use of synonymous conjunctions. It verifies the connections between the actual dispositions of the conjunction kým [‘while’] and a dialogic or narrative interpretation, the choice of perspective and the sentence order. A part of the study presents the use of the conjunction kým [‘while’] in the communicative functions of assertion, direction, interrogation, satisfaction, commission and admonition. It demonstrates the dominance of illocutions which are based on the negative life experience of a speaker</abstract>

Spojka Kým V Sémantických A Komunikačných Súvislostiach

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> Main focus of this paper is the issue of notional variability of the term “archaism” which occurs in historical-linguistic and dialectological works with a common denominator - dialects. The basis of the registered notional variability (1. Linguistic phenomenon which carries over from an earlier linguistic period - residual archaism; 2. Dialectal phenomenon which represents older state of language - relict archaism 3. Dialectal phenomenon which is currently receding - synchronic, structural archaism) lies in differences resulting from diachronic (the age of the linguistic phenomenon, diachronic resultativity, residuality/relictness) and synchronic (obsolescence of the linguistic phenomenon, synchronic processuality) approach to the language and its dynamics. The variability of the term archaism according to the approach used (the aspect of the national language, its development vs. the aspect of dialectal system and its structure) is illustrated on the example of linguistic phenomena characteristic for Sotak dialects of the north-eastern Zemplín. During the process of selection of examples from Sotak dialects the fact that the structure of this dialectal system includes, in a concentrated form, linguistic phenomena reflecting an older developmental state of the Slovak language (archaisms from the point of view of national language and its development) was taken into consideration.</abstract>

Journal of Linguistics/Jazykovedný casopis

 The aim of the Journal of Linguistics is to bring together innovative contributions that share the interest in the general and theoretical questions of language, its nature, functions, governing principles and interaction with cognitive and social reality. This overarching aim, however, does not solely invite proposals from the domain of general and theoretical linguistics, as it rather opens for a wide range of topics. These include but are not restricted to studies at the level of morphology, syntax, semantics, stylistics, pragmalinguistics and so on. Due to its aim specification, the Journal does not publish submissions dealing with second language acquisition and translation studies. Preferred are contributions focused on the Slovak language and other, mostly Slavic languages, including comparative papers where Slavic languages are taken into account. The proposals may endorse comparative and/or historical perspective, quantitative and/or qualitative methodology and they can be anchored in all major contemporary linguistic fields, such as philosophy of language, cognitive linguistics, construction grammar, sociolinguistics, discourse studies, corpus linguistics and others. By this wide array of perspectives, the Journal wishes to provide a forum for researchers seeking in-depth, complex explanations of linguistic phenomena, as well as better understanding of language in general.   Journal of Linguistics is published three times a year, with one issue usually being thematic.Journal of Linguistics/Jazykovedný časopis is a double-blind peer reviewed journal. It does not charge for article processing (APCs) or article submission.   Why subscribe and read    The journal presents latest results and topics within modern research conducted by Slovak and foreign linguists.   Articles are focused on all theoretical subjects of contemporary general, structural and cognitive linguistics, comparative studies, as well as studies from related humanities that are dealing with philosophical or cultural aspects of language.      Why submit    The journal is distributed to all linguistic institutions that conduct research within Slavic studies, including foreign universities. Because of this, the authors’ outputs reach a wide range of readers.   It provides a platform for scientific discussion on large number of topics.   Published articles have passed through language-correction.   The third volume includes an index of names mentioned throughout the year.
