The subject of the article is the semantic analysis of expressive nouns of colloquial speech in the modem Belorussian language. They were used as the material basic the expressive nominations with the quantifier colloquial taken from 'Tlumachalny Slounik Belaruskay Movy' edited by K. Krapiva, published between 1977 and 1984 in Minsk. Among the personal expressive nouns the most numerous group are the names of the masculine and common gender which characterise a person in terms of the occupation, type of activity, and the position he occupies (e.g.: ananimshtchic, cishennic, macaronnic, riphmapliot, samahonshtchic, stuchatch), appearance (e.g.: abadranietz, bambiza, bruhatch, harbatch, caratish, obsharpanietz, zdyhliac), more rarely the age (e.g.: pierastarac, starican) or a lack of something (e.g.: biazdomnic, biazdolnic, biazdomac). A less numerous group are nominations of masculine and common gender which characterise a man in terms of his personal features, behaviour, habits, for example abjora, hultaina, nictchemnic, partatch, pascudnic, zajira. Among the non-personal names the majority are abstract names, like obietzanca, blaznovannie, darmayedstva, malpovannie, mudravannie, pacazuja, peckanina. There nouns which are featured positively, for example tatatcha, tatca, pracavic, dabrac, miliaha, rabaciaha, skromnic, udatchnic are rare.

The article is dedicated to the folk elements in Jan Barshchevski's 'Shliakthsits Zavalnia aboi Belarus u fantastychnykh apaviadanniakh' (Nobleman Zavalnia or Belarus in fantastic tales). In the beginning of the 19th century, Belarussian literature was strongly influenced by the western literature. Polish romantic ideas penetrated the Belarussian territories, which expressed itself in viewing the motherland as sacred; fascination with the past, folklore, ethnography and customs; borrowing from the local legends as well as Slavic mythology. Folk creations proved to be an extremely rich repository of wisdom, in which the most universal truths about the human nature were preserved. The title character, Nobleman Zavalnia is fascinated with folklore; the narrators of the stories, stylised into oral, also come from the country folk. The folk system of values is based on what is inaccessible to the brain: intuition, hunches, as well as beliefs in witchcraft, magic, ghosts, and evil forces. Evil takes on various forms: it hides in animals, reptiles, spirits hostile to man, evil people, diseases. The Christian values are held especially dear against the hostility and unpredictability of the world. The cross, a roadside chapel, a church are all constant elements of the country landscape. The folk protagonist is typical, often possessing a single distinctive feature. He is doomed to fight not only demons but himself as well. His perplexity originates in the eternal conflict between good and evil, beauty and ugliness, purity and depravity. Metamorphosis is an important element in the romantic world of horror: supernatural creatures transmute into inanimate objects, human beings, animals, reptiles, and domestic birds. A man unified with supernatural forces is able to take on a form of a wolf, magpie or fish. In this work, time has two dimensions: realistic and supernatural. The existence of the supernatural time indicates that the world presented is governed by evil. The beginning of its activity is marked by the sunset: the end - by the sunrise. The location creates an atmosphere of mystery and fear. A dominating feature of the landscape described is the omnipresent nature: an entity which is imperishable, primeval, eternally alive, horrifying and never-ending. The syncretism in reality and fantasy is accompanied by a blend of motifs both Christian and pagan, tragic and pastoral, lyrical and epic.

In Croatian literature, as in others European literatures, we find works that belong to the misogynism trend. The article proposes a new way of reading an anonymous Croatian poem which opened the misogynist trend in this literature. The base of interpretation are categories from history of theology of spirituality: an authorian spirituality and non-authorian spirituality which are helpful to find and show in the language of misogyny, a hidden allegory of the inner man who is trying to rationalize carnality and sensuality on the way to God.

Primary prevention and health promotion actions bring varied effects which do not always correspond to expectations of those who implement them. The source of that discrepancy might be seek in the diversification of people's attitudes towards institutional actions aiming at the change of their behaviour. People's attitudes towards primary prevention and health promotion institutional actions and their determinants have not been of much interest to researchers so far. This is why the current knowledge of them is exceptionally poor. The purpose of this article is to present the design of the research project 'Lay meanings of health and life orientations of Poles and the attitudes towards prevention and health promotion' conducted by Institute of Cardiology in Warsaw. The project's aim is to identify attitudes towards institutional educational actions being undertaken within primary prevention and health promotion area, and most of all to recognize their determinants and to assess the frequency of their occurrence.
