More and more students used the opportunity to study abroad. The Slovaks from “Lowland” are not an exception. One of the places, where they come is the city of Nitra. There, they create a strong community, which help them to integrate into the majority society and solves their problems in new temporary home. The contribution focuses on issues of identity, self-identification and self-presentation from the perspective of respondents and partly from the perspective of majority society.

When mapping cultural and, more specifically, literary history of the Slovaks living in historical Hungarian Lowland, which is - in terms of contemporary political geography - mainly the territory of Slovak enclaves in Serbia, Hungary and Romania, what appears to be one of the important sources is memoirs, written in various periods of time. In the context of the research into the times at the turn of the 20th century, stretching into the following decades of the 20th century, there are several sources of this kind available in books as well as in manuscripts. The subject of the paper is the issues in editorial processing of the memoirs written by Slovak notables who lived and worked in Lowland, especially in the early 20th century, either all their lives (Ján Čajak) or just for a short time (Ivan Thurzo, Pavel Gallo), alternatively by those who, after moving to Slovakia, contributed to the cultural life of that time (Andrej Mráz). The selected writings are similar in subject. However, what is different is the nature of the preserved materials as well as the size, composition, and especially the way they were presented to the readers. While Čajak´s memoirs have not been published to date, those of Thurzo´s and Gall´s were abridged in comparison with the original manuscript versions, and so were those written by Mráz, which were first published in a magazine and later as a book. The focus is given to the textological principles applied to the book edition, editorial changes made in the manuscripts and the issue of the editor´s authority to change the original text.

The main goal of this contribution is to point out a few problematic spheres, where the generally accepted not quite correspond to the real situation. We emphasize that the path to the general knowledge of the culture of Slovaks living in Low Land is through the realization of research in widest context of theory in as many localities as it is possible. We present a view of the seven problematic issues, which in the context of the current research of Slovaks living in Low Land can be considered as relevant. First, there is the problem of the meaning of terms ethnic enclave and ethnic diaspora. Secondly, the consideration of degree of acculturation and the transfer of the meaning from term "language island" to term "cultural island". Thirdly, we are considering terms of ethno-cultural and ethno-confessional aspects of identity. The fourth problematic sphere is relation between local and ethnic identity. The fifth problem is the urban and rural environment and their contexts affecting acculturation in the minority sector. The sixth circuit is relation between ethnic identity and civic identity. Seventh problem is the minority policy in the European Union, its relative instability and undeniable impact on the acculturation of minorities.

The paper is devoted to the textual analysis of the sermon Sincere Encouragement to True Repentance and Prayer (Věrné probuzení k pravému pokání a modlení), presented by Bohuslav Mezibrodský in the community of Lowland Slovak evangelicals in the village of Eška (Hungarian Öskü) in September 1749. The subject of the sermon is an unusual natural phenomenon – the arrival of locusts, which caused existential fears among the inhabitants and caused huge confusion among them. The same subject was elaborated by Matej Markovič senior in the poetic composition The Mourning Song about the Grasshoppers (Smutná pieseň o kobylkách, 1749), the analysis of which will serve us as a model.
