The basic problem in Škola kresťanská is its thematic and motivic construction, which was previously the reason for different interpretative analysis being remarked in this study. The experts had a lot of problems with dedication of the creation interposing to the semantic opposition to Valaská škola, which is considered as the mature work in Gavlovič's creation. In this sketch we attempted to highlight the noetic connection between the mentioned literary works – we assumed that the principle of morality and virtue (based on the penitence) is the most important idea in Gavlovič's poetic. These axioms let the people come closer to the God. Studying the utterances of Gavlovič's poetic our intention was addressed to the analysis of thematic and motivic structure in Valaská škola and Škola kresťanská, which form together one whole qualitative complex. We pointed out to the author's relationship to his works and accented to the epistemological problems arising from this relationship including different social and biographic aspects, which determine the author's motivation and intention. We also emphasised, that the out-literary influences caused that creations have been hang over in form of autographs and their accessibility was therefore minimizing.
The presented study deals with the analysis of memes as specific cultural-linguistic units. It mentions various theoretical concepts that dealt with memes and points to its own definition of the term. The aim of this text is a linguistic and semantic analysis of a selected type of memes from websites in the Slovak language, naming structural „genre“ tendencies in the so called image macro memes. The study attempts to clarify main functions and principles of excerpted image macro memes, highlighting iterability as the most important sign of the memetic process whose result is a meme as a specific text unit.
The intention of the authors of the paper is to present the main areas of scientific research activities of the staff of the Department of Slovak Language and Literature at the Faculty of Arts of the UCM in Trnava. The authors’ attention is focused mainly on the current state of research, but they also briefly and selectively point out the short history of the department, as it is one of the youngest higher education institutions in Slovakia dedicated to research of national language and literature. The structure of the text reflects two stages of the department’s development, before 2016 and after 2016, when there was a significant change in staff. The overview of the current research activities of the members of the department also suggests further directions and challenges that this “young” department has to face.
