The essay discusses objectives and developments of modern musical philology and its interdisciplinary contexts. The authoress takes as a point of departure the notion of musical text, whose status and outlines needs redefining in order to allow for the meaning of the text to be developed. Musical philology looks at the text and its existence through time from three complementary points of view: the author's elaborative process; the process of tradition; and the phenomenon of reception. The methodological evolution and gradual critical enrichment of the discipline can clearly be seen in the main research fields of philology in the second half of the 19th century. Several important areas can be outlined here, which have been heavily developed but are still far from exhausted: the relationship between text and notation and between writing and orality; the historical and cognitive value of traditional variants of the text; the developments of author-focused philology (including issues of authenticity and attribution); intertextual phenomena; relationships between textual traditions and reception of musical works; and finally, relationships between medieval music philology and the current of New Philology. The persistence of outdated or unrigorous methodologies notwithstanding, musical philology has been enriched in the last decades by important contributions, which have helped to revitalize its perspectives and interests.

ON THE PARADOXICAL BASES OF MODERN SPEECH METHODOLOGY

The aim of the article is to comment on the foundations of modern speech methodology. Modern speech theory rests on the concession that speech utterances are chains of discrete phonological units (individual 'sounds', 'phonemes', 'phones' etc.). Trying to unveil the postulated 'segments' in the continuous speech signal, three main versions of the speech segmentalism were proposed, based on the concepts of the 'microscopic', 'hidden' and 'mental' segmentation respectively. Vain pursuits for more than a hundred years have, however, discovered no trace of the sought 'segments' in speech flow. The crucial question of our speech investigations now remains: to proceed, or not to proceed any further, with this fruitless quest for 'speech segmentation'? The application of the so-called 'existential test' (an abstract analytic method used to appreciate the adequacy of empiric hypotheses) to the speech segmentation concept reveals the supposed 'phonological segments' being nothing more than self-contradictory methodological fiction. These 'segments' can never be found in speech wave.

The aim of this paper is to provide a theoretical and conceptual justification for large-scale rescue excavations. The article begins by challenging a predominant view, in which excavations are regarded as a process of rescuing the traces of the past in order to inhibit their potential destruction. But, it is argued, prevailing practices in archaeology leads to a pathological situation in which the technical instrumentation and the production of descriptive observational statements tends to become the principal goals of the discipline. The author points out that instead of emphasizing the development of conceptual structures which might help us understand how to interpret the past, we tend to accumulate more and more information with which in reality very little is done. This leads to the view that any further excavations remain largely unjustified. However, if excavations are conceived as experiments in interpretative activity, then they may play a central role in the development of a more reflexive and mature archaeological practice. To understand the discourses produced by archaeologists, relationships between the excavation and the site report and between excavations, the archaeological community and the public are explored. Indeed, contrary to the standard informational report, based on the myth of pure objectivity, an analogy to the dramatic performance is suggested. In this approach, the site report is considered as an effect of never ending interpretative activity, displayed in the theatre of excavation. The report is a result of a process of selection, recording, organization, inclusion and exclusion which takes place from the perspectives of different individuals and groups, and the discussions and relationships developed on the site. We might envision a site report which reflects back on excavation and critically interrogates all uncertainties. A reflection on some of these ambiguities and contradictions can help us understand how we may write differently and begin to challenge certain superannuated dominant practices. Therefore large-scale complex excavations and their reports provide unique opportunities for experiments in self-discovery. The exceptional position of an archaeological 'database' creates special responsibilities to society. The currently emerging cult of professionalism drastically reduces the scope of social vision, leaving in archaeologists' hands the decision as to which vision of the past the public should be provided with. If we want to appreciate the past and thus value it, we have to actively involve the public in discussion and interpretation of the past. Here excavation has a unique role to play as a theatre where people may be able to produce their own pasts which are meaningful to them. This approach advocates a socially engaged rather than a scientifically detached practice of excavation.(The paper appeared earlier in English in 'ANTIQUITY' vol.63(1989), pp. 275-280)

The aim of this paper is to discuss the most important methodological issues related to the study of ‘academic migration’, which we have encountered while preparing a research project on foreign-born academics in Poland. These issues are presented in the context of the migration of other highly skilled workers. Many of the analysed articles which concern migration of the highly skilled fall into methodological traps. Some do not take into account important cultural variables; others are concentrated on very specific problems, and – by employing sophisticated statistical techniques – provide conclusions of very limited generality. We start our analysis with the discussion of the most common research problems. Then we move on to discussing sources of data and methodologies. The last part summarizes the main advantages and disadvantages of various methodological approaches often employed in academic migration studies. This study allows us to outline our above-mentioned research proposal. Drawing on this example we show how a qualitative research project may add to current knowledge concerning the group in question. Nevertheless, this subject is diffi cult per se, and some challenges seem impossible to overcome.

The article is devoted to the legal assessment of the legitimacy of changes in eligibility of the copyright works under the Czech law. The article is structured as a methodological guide. Part of the paper deals with the description of the changes of the work (f. i. the modification) which occurred or to occur in the future. Other questions are focused on the practical or legal reasons for the modification of the works. Finally, the issues are focused on the different factual and creative elements of the work that are affected by changing of the work and on the influence of the changes to the aesthetic value of the copyright work.

The article explores Polish historiography concerning history of everyday-life in communist Poland. In order to identify the main fields of historical research together with theoretical frames the analysis included the two levels of methodological reflection and historiographical scholarship. The widely accepted demand for the interdisciplinary, finds limited implementation in historical research dominated by the sociological approach with limited reference to anthropology, linguistic or cultural studies. As a result historiography offers macro-level interpretations based on an assumption of the representative sample of empirical data, with little attention to new fields of research (gender, memory, representations), micro-level distinctions, and the history-from-below perspective. The article ends with some methodological proposals in order to enlarge the field of research.

The post-war situation in Slovakia required not only the solution of acute problems, but gradually issues related to the organization of the economy, its focus and management also came to the fore. In addition, food supply and solutions to a number of problems associated with the allotment system remained crucial. However, huge population movements and the associated overall changes in numbers and population structures posed an insurmountable problem for their planning. The impossibility of using the results of older population censuses, as well as the unreality of the earlier implementation of the first post-war population census, eventually led to a compromise solution in the form of a register of the civilian population in 1946. The aim of the article was to present the register in terms of its focus, methodology, preparation, course, as well as the content itself, and last but not least, we will also try to analyse some basic results.

This paper addresses two most common comments on corpus linguistics: 1) a corpus is merely a card file index in electronic form and 2) corpus linguistics covers only corpora construction and linguistic marking. We argue that a corpus consists of much more complex material and it can be exploited in unprecedented ways. In response to the second question, we point out that corpus linguistics is an independent linguistic discipline with substantial contributions to linguistic theory and language description.

The proposed 'nineteenth-century cultural model' (Polish: dziewietnastowiecznosc) should be understood as a peculiar 'ideal type', not actualised in any discursive practice (deduced from a heterogenic textual space), or, as a certain neo-Hegelian type, showing off what is essential, paradigmatic, or model in a given set or group of phenomena. In a quest for traces of manifestation of (a) 19th-century cultural awareness, the present article attempted at embracing ideas propagated by a few generations of creative artists as well as those reconstructed on an ex-post basis, resulting from a scholarly afterthought on modernity.

This article critically analyses various current methods of teaching foreign languages involving work with L2 lexical items. In the first place the author discusses the didactic tendencies in German speaking countries. The analysis shows strong and weak aspects of the described teaching concepts and tries to answer the question if there is one especially effective method which helps learn foreign vocabulary. The author comes to the conclusion that such efficient teaching approach cannot be found. A complex and individualized structure of the cognitive processes of foreign words acquisition is observed in some teaching methods, especially in the recent ones. Therefore the best solution to the problem at hand here could be seen in the application of various teaching techniques, the activation of learners' cognitive abilities, the use of their experience in other foreign languages and in the development of the learner autonomy.

This essay analyses certain negative (or, potentially adverse) consequences of two types of polonocentrism in the Polish literary-history vulgate. It also remarks certain specific aspects of the issue, ones that may become a starting point for a deepened and more detailed discussion in a future (i.e. such as attitudes toward ethnic, linguistic, religious, sexual, etc. minorities of any sort). Yet, in the first place, discussed are certain general issues which, in the context of Polish studies under redevelopment, will definitely require being thoroughly re-evaluated. The author's main premise is his conviction that polonocentrism and broader methodological and research prospects, such as 'internal comparative studies' (a concept by W. Panas) and 'external comparative studies', Europeanism, world literature, etc., are not alternative concepts by nature. Instead, they merely constitute certain determined viewpoints that may be merged and/or rendered mutually complementary, if only nationalistic, ethnical, religious, moral, and ideological prejudices, which could have frequently been met in some earlier literary-history studies and analyses, are avoided.

The essay reports on the author’s attempts to demonstrate similarities between prima facie divergent thinkers. Objections to this attempt have often concerned the question of the “superficiality” of the similarities noted. The paper examines these objections and proposes an understanding of the relevant concept of superficiality as a consequence of what Alan Nelson called “systematic interpretation”. Subsequently, Nelson’s view is challenged, and thus a space is opened up for a history of philosophy focused more on the similarities between different thinkers than on the supposed uniqueness and incomparability of their thought.

The paper deals with methodological questions concerning the work with oral and written life stories. The authoress subscribes to the approach to the biography as a social construct, social reality itself. Despite the growing amount of theoretical works dealing with analysis of this kind of source, there are voices against it, criticising its subjectivity and lack of theoretical background. The answer to this critique is directed towards the other group of researchers who search for 'almighty objectivity'. Both approaches ('qualitative' vs. 'quantitative') seem to bear a problematic core inside. Together with Gabriele Rosenthal the authoress looks for the solution in the dualistic conception of the history and the told story, the event and the experience, the lived and the told, where by the analysis we should consider both sides of the story. On one side the life of people is taking place on the background of the historical - social reality, on the other side the social reality is constructed through the lives of people.

This article describes the method and practice of the portrait as a means of acquiring a more profound appreciation for the complex values, goals and work process of literary translators. Based on empirical research, the portrait method brings together biographical material on the translator, bibliographical data on his/her translations, writings, and other texts or interviews on translation, information on his/her professional implication and activities, and details concerning his/her work process and relations with writers and publishers. However, the over-arching goal of the portrait is not simply to provide a compilation of the translator’s achievements, but to make inferences, through a holistic approach to the data, about his/her underlying motivations and aspirations, and by so doing, to better understand the meaning he/she attributes to his/her work. Portraits of Émilie du Châtelet, Hannah Josephson and Patricia Claxton illustrate how the open-ended portrait methodology can enlarge our understanding of the translation process.

A critical look on university-level teaching methodology in the area of Polish studies leads one to conviction that preservation of these studies as they stand at present would drive students of Polish aside of contemporary humanities. The main slogan of a 'revolution' in the Polish-studies university-level teaching claims for separation of the 'twofold' Polish studies into two self-contained areas of studies, i.e. linguistic and literary-scholarly. Due to increasingly clear anachronism of text-centric literary scholarship, the programme for new literary research studies should be oriented at: literary anthropology; cultural studies; and, media studies.
