The purpose of this paper can be described as follows. The contemporary philosophical logic cannot work without using some terms well-known from mathematics and (mathematical) logic. Among such terms that play an important role in logical and philosophical analyses of language, meaning and the like we can find function, procedure and construction. One problem is that various authors use these terms in various ways, another problem consists in the well-known fact that many philosophers do not have any idea of what those and similar terms could mean. The present paper tries to explain why an exact explication of the three mentioned terms can contribute to understanding and even solving many problems with semantics of natural language, which a philosopher should be (and frequently is) interested in.

Logical analysis of natural language (LANL) based on TIL defines meaning (Frege’s sense) in a procedural way, resulting in the following thesis: The meaning of an expression is independent of context. The meaning (in the case of non-indexical expressions concept) is thus an abstract procedure, which is explicated in TIL as (well-defined) construction. What does depend on context is the way in which the meaning has to be handled. From this viewpoint we can distinguish three kinds of contexts: (i) hyper-intensional context; (ii) intensional context; (iii) extensional context.

In this article, the author reconstructs the particular sense attributed in the Spencer’s functionalism to notions such as function, need, subject of a function and objective consequences. He shows a fundamental difference between this concept and twentieth-century functional theories in sociology. Although they all use the same terms, they give them a remarkably different meaning. Change made by Durkheim in the meaning of the term „function” is of fundamental importance: for Spencer the word “function” meant a specific activity (action, work), but it came to mean the result of an influence. The author challenges the way in which the founding role in the twentieth-century’s functional paradigm is attributed to Spencer. At the same time, he points to theoretical import of the original concept of Spencer in relation to the functional approach as modified by Durkheim.

(Title in Polish - 'Specyfika, znaczenie i funkcja wytworów koscianych i rogowych w kulturze magdalenskiej na przykladzie stanowiska Wilczyce 10, pow. Sandomierz'). The Wilczyce site in southern Poland was discovered during a field survey conducted in 1994 as part of the Archaeological Map of Poland. Regular excavations carried out from 1998, first by Dr. Jan Fiedorczuk and after his death by Prof. Romuald Schild, have revealed that the products of Magdalenian Culture were distributed within an ice wedge. Of the 147 bone, ivory and antler objects with traces of processing 54 could be recognized as artifacts: 3 figurines, 12 points, 2 intermediary tools, baton, 2 smoothers (lissoirs), chisel, 2 awls, scoop-smoother, 2 handles, 24 needles, plaque and 3 unidentified objects. They were all produced of reindeer antler, mammoth tusk ivory and bone. The most spectacular of all because of their uniqueness were the points and handles . The production process is best exemplified by needles made of horse bone in a technique requiring first splinters to be cut and then sectioned perpendicularly. The two different types of sagaies points and forms with hollowed ventral side called for a different production technique. In the former case, rectangular pieces were sectioned off a halved piece of antler, in the latter, the ventral side was dressed until compact bone was reached, giving an arched cross-section in effect. The bone and antler implements from Wilczyce represent Magdalenian IV, confirming the theory that settlement in central Europe can be related for the most part to the upper and terminal phases of this culture.

This paper focuses on the roots of a functional theory of predication, which is represented primary by Frege and Russell. After a brief presentation of the theory of Frege, the author concentrates on the philosophical motivation of this theory. The example of the influence of F. H. Bradley on Russell’s conception of the categorical judgements shows a common epistemological position of both authors, which he recognizes also in Frege. The point of the article is to find common grounds in Kant noetics, especially in his conception of synthetic judgement. Replacement of the problematic Kant’s notion of transcendental schema by the functional application subsequently allowed flourishing of the theory. In conclusion, the author outlines potential problems associated with the challenge of philosophical assumptions on which this theory is based.

In the article represented a new approach to the minimizing line of innovative investment activities. The necessity of accounting line of innovative investment activities and the definition of reduction ways are defined. An attempt was made to minimize a risk at the expense of reserving resources at some assumptions. It is shown that this activity relates with the probability of losing of resources and receiving less revenues and the emergence of additional costs. The main directions of reducing of innovative and investment activities are presented: the distribution of risk between project participants, insurance and reserving funds. The risks inside the organizations, the ways of minimizing, programming and management, choice of the optimal solutions of available alternatives are considered. Use of presented techniques can help prevent a crisis situation. You must create the domestic system of analysis to the specific market conditions.

This article presents an interpretation and critical assessment of Jan Korensky's recent collection of fifteen theoretical interdisciplinary essays (2004). The essays deal with linguistic as well as epistemological, communicative, semiotic and environmentally ethical questions integrated into a unifying philosophical paradigm. An essential component of this philosophical framework is a linguistic theory based on the primacy of parole, the dynamics of language, the conceptualized metaphor of play, and attracted by procedures of formalization and modelling. The author's major inspiration is his belief in the critical power of Derridean deconstruction. His profound motivation is a vision of giving existential hope to present-day endangered mankind by constructing a dialectically renewed rationalism and by removing or reducing existing epistemological and linguistic limitations. Special attention is paid to terminology. Key terms of the text are discussed at length and, in addition, separate essays deal with science, function, convention, paradox, vagueness and chaos. Three more specific essays concern sociolinguistic problems of the European Union and the language of a metropolis. The article also includes sections on the author's vocabulary - its multidisciplinary variety, metaphors, redefinitions and connotations, and on the complexity and readability of the text.

The paper focuses on the identification and classification of community gardens in the Bratislava. It concerns a pilot study focused on community gardens in Bratislava (Slovakia). Community gardens in a post-socialist city can be considered as a modern phenomenon despite the fact that urban gardening was present in the city even during the communist regime in the form of allotments gardens and garden colonies. The main methods used to research community gardens include a questionnaire survey of members of community gardens and semi-structured interviews with administrators of community gardens. Different classification criteria (location, size, number of members, and ownership) are used in the paper to identify community gardens. Although the primary function of community gardens in Bratislava is the food production, formation of communities also plays an important role.

(Slovak title: Inspirativny impulz pre vyskum starsej slovenskej literatury (Nogeho pokus o nacrt problematiky vyvinu umeleckej prozy v slovenskej literature predklasicistickeho obdobia)). Julius Noge's study Prvky umeleckej prozy v slovenskej literature predklasicistickeho obdobia (Pokus o nacrt problematiky), which was published in the magazine Slovenska literatura (Slovak Literature)in 1968, can be seen as an interesting attempt to question the opinion that the fiction of Slovak Pre-Classicism had been limited by factuality. He emphasized the need for a new view of the quality of less representative prose genres, which were the substantial part of the literary production of that time, while he accented the necessity of respecting their syncretic character. He also drew attention to the necessity of revising the functions of poetry genres, or individual poetic texts of early literary periods. He showed that there is an urgent need to do new research on pre-Stur literature free from traditional assessments, which would point out the special features of the Slovak literature evolution, and the way to clarify the process of genetic formation of Slovak fiction.

This article considers three periods of the theory of predication in the Prague Linguistic Circle. The first belongs to the classical period, the second to the 1960s and the final and current one begins in the 1990s. The work of three particular authors, Mathesius, Danes, and Sgall, is discussed. Four questions arise: 1) Was Mathesius an inspirational source for the second 1929 Thesis? 2) What were the historical and epistemological roots of the rather strong link between philosophy of language and linguistics during the first period? 3) Why is indexicality not recognized by Danes as the semiotic device which associates predication with those aspects of the sentence which potentially place it in relation with a situation? 4)Why is the relationship between the Praguian idea of 'function' and the Fregean one, i.e. the logico-semantic concept which gives foundation to the philosophical truth-functional approach in semantics, and which explains the so-called 'predicative-argumental structure', not recognized as noteworthy? What, in fact, is a function? In conclusion, this article sketches the project of a Latin Dependency Treebank developed on the basis of the PDT, which bears witness to the far-reaching implications of the Circle's work and to an international, intercontinental prosecution of a tache abordee.

This article constitutes a critical review of the knowledge and theories regarding ritual and ceremony which have emerged in the social sciences. The impetus for this undertaking is the conviction that the issue of ritual has been paid insufficient attention – particularly in sociology. The text opens with deliberation on the subject of defining ritual and ceremony. Subsequently, the theories of ritual which explain existing ceremonies by looking at the conditions under which these observances arose are examined. This article comprises also ponderings on the place of ritual in sociological theory.
