This paper surveys some new aspects of approaching literary works of art in terms of a sequence of trends in linguistics and literary criticism that emerged in the second half of the twentieth century. Those trends did not simply follow one another, but they also reflected on one another in many ways and even synthesised the others in certain respects. They included the structuralist, semiotic, textological, pragmatic, and cognitive approaches. In particular, the paper discusses those aspects in Attila Jozsef's poem 'You know there is no remission.' In Part One, some of the structural/textological/rhetorical characteristics of the poem are mentioned (structure, syntactic structure, versification, verbality, vocabulary, word-ethics, some figures, etc.). In Part Two, evidence is provided of the self-addressing character of the poem in terms of a recent, cognitive approach to literary criticism, and the text focus (the centre of textual organisation) and text topic of the poem are determined. The poem's attitude to time is explored, pointing out that rheme-enhancing particles do make it time-confronting. Finally, in terms of the semiotic and cognitive approaches (claiming that language creation is iconic and language use is energy), the iconicity of certain words occurring in the poem is pointed out. The author's aim with the analysis is to bring linguistic and literary approaches closer to one another.

The study focuses on the reflection of Jewish-Slavic relations in the work of Alexander Dukhnovych (Oleksander Dukhnovych). The researched author was Greek Catholic priest – representative of the Eastern Religious Rite (Byzantine). In his drama Добродітель превишаєт багатство (1850), the figure of the Jewish innkeeper appears. In the context of the work, he is a negative character. In the picture of him we can identify elements of stereotyping. I briefly present the history of the Jews in Eastern Slovakia, where Dukhnovych lived. The role of priests in the middle of the 19th century and their motivation in writing educational prose is described. The aim of such writings, which were written mostly by the clergy during the mentioned period, was not to stir up passions. The task of didactic works was to educate people and to warn them against the harmful influence of alcoholism. Dukhnovych was one of the first writers to draw attention to the issue of alcoholism in areal literature.

A canon has been taken as a register of literature for the interested public as well as professional readers during the last twenty years. It is a challenge, therefor, to revive the initial meaning of canon as obligatory reading for the general education of the next generation. The article stars with a brief outline of the major positions of research in the humanities on the issue of literary evaluation and the controversy about normative and descriptive theories. Both they are connected with the key purpose of general education in secondary schools. The great variety of aims provides arguments for choosing works of literature in the light of didactic intensions. Then the article focuses on the description of teaching sequences including decisions for the selection of concrete literary works, e.g. novels by Uwe Timm (2003) and Melinda Nadj Abonji (2010). Conducted in three consecutive steps with altogether eight criteria, such canon decisions become plausible in theory as well as practicable in educational contexts: Literary Evaluation, Didactic Justification and Context Formation. Especially complex literary texts with their inherent thought-images give rise to an unlimited process of interpretation, enabling young readers to widen their knowledge and broaden their competence.

(Title in Czech - 'Dvojjazycni casopisy a beletristicke tisky na Ceskem Tesinsku po druhe svetove valce. Prispevek k problematice bilingvismu'). The subject of the author's reflection is a bilingualism of Silesian Tesin (after 1920 Czech Tesin), namely the shaping of this bilingualism in newspapers and in literary books after 1989. The essays are primarily based on a literary output of publishers, and special literary and cultural magazines. The author focuses on a genre of poetry that seems to be not only the most frequent but also the most characteristic in the genre system of the given area. This is demonstrated not only by the amount of collections, analects, anthologies, and almanacs, but by making comparison with the prose of the region. The most intensive expansion of Polish cultural, culturally-social and educational life in the Czech Tesin region started in the period between the two world wars when some elements of the cultural life started to stabilize and some others only started to form. A certain type of cultural life gradually started to develop; despite of the existence of formal obstacles, there were some conditions under which a certain literary culture evolved. Polish literature in the Czech Tesin region did not have any aspirations to surmount a stage of regional writings, which met the specific needs of the region's inhabitants. There was no literary criticism in the region of Czech Tesin; that would determine norms, regulations, rules and valuations necessary for the standard existence of literary life. There did not arise any academic and special research centres, where some of the Polish experts (scholars, intellectuals, and specialists) would work. It was only about local types of literary activities, which were not united overall. There were a lot of positive elements helping to develop a Polish 'minority' culture and literature, but on the other hand there existed many limitations caused by specific political conditions.
