The author of the following publication, aware of the shortage of specific literature concerning links between acoustics, architecture and building’s design, sets himself an aim: to depict general problems relevant to architect design of sacred interior reflecting acoustic qualities of each room and to convey useful and basic knowledge to architects, acousticians and clerics referring to the church’s building stage. In the following thesis the most important factors of church’s interior acoustic design are shown because through centuries the discipline caused numerous problems, being difficult to research, recount and neglected. Additional ideas of using natural acoustics of different sacred objects or electro acoustic equipment cause that the following subject area can be adapted in houses of prayer built throughout the years. Therefore the subject of the following article seems to be vitally important and up-to-date because it refers to a specialized field of knowledge of which thorough cognoscence broadens versatility and workshops of the architects, acousticians and clerics, not without influence upon high quality results.

The paper is a concise synthesis of deliberations based on the ideas of Kolberg (extracts) subjectively selected by the author. The main problems analyzed in the paper are: music as the subject of high priority in documentation and research, as well as the idea of methodical holistic documentation. The paper presents two weaknesses of modern ethnomusical gathering and archiving methods which are of utmost importance. Firstly, research centers and researches themselves are dispersed, and so is the object of the studies, musical material, which has recently been gathered intensively both by scientists and amateurs. Secondly, resources are not worked on with due consideration to their merits, especially if the work is undertaken by an individual hobbyist. Subsequently, the paper focuses on the idea of popularization of traditional music and its practical and theoretical aspects, which have been presented in the context of Oskar Kolberg’s comprehensive musical education, his music-making, and the meaning of these for his academic thought and the attitude towards his own interest in the research and documentation of music. The aforementioned practical aspect also concerns his exquisite organizational skills during his fieldwork. The theoretical aspect is the praise of erudition and versatility of his interests which were reflected in his academic thought, his journalistic work, and deep concern for the top quality of his editorial work.

In ancient Egypt, performances inside and outside buildings are documented (open air, under canopies, in rooms). The article discusses the different acoustic conditions at the various per-formance venues. Within the scope of experimental music archaeology, the volume of replicas of musical instruments from ancient Egypt and modern equivalents was measured. This tech-nical approach in connection with iconographic, textual, and archaeological evidence provides a valuable, practice-oriented contribution to our knowledge of ancient Egypt and its music archaeology.

The author presents cultural facts in the development of contemporary music and the participation of artificial intelligence in creating, co-creating, and performing music. Brochocka sees a parallel between the rapidly growing disparity of knowledge and skills leaning towards computers and electronics. People overshadowed by vision and pleasure seem to forget more and more the hardship of acquiring knowledge. The article recalls technical and philosophical problems, the advantages and dangers related to the current state of musical theory and practice. The Land of Musethics is a fantastic tool for visualizing and delving into the intricate world of sounds heard in the moment or captured for later experience.

Autorka przedstawia fakty kulturowe w rozwoju muzyki współczesnej oraz udział sztucznej inteligencji w tworzeniu, współtworzeniu i wykonywaniu muzyki. Brochocka dostrzega paralelę między szybko narastającą dysproporcją wiedzy i umiejętności przechylającą się w stronę komputerów i elektroniki. Ludzie w cieniu wizji i przyjemności zdają się coraz bardziej zapominać o trudach zdobywania wiedzy. Artykuł przypomina problemy techniczne i filozoficzne, zalety i zagrożenia związane z obecnym stanem teorii i praktyki muzycznej. Kraina Muzetyki to fantastyczne narzędzie do wizualizacji i zagłębiania się w zawiły świat dźwięków słyszanych w danej chwili lub uchwyconych do późniejszego doświadczenia.

“What we perceive is not reality but just reactions of our brains. There is one reality but its representation in different brains is different. The more different the brains are, the more different the representations.”John Locke “(…) real is simply electrical impulses interpreted by your brain.” 1Morpheus to Neo, “Matrix” 1 https://www.tvp.info/41375915/w-mozgu-odkryto-nowy-rodzaj-komunikacji-miedzy-neuronami (accessed on 12/06/2019) In the world of the Anthropocene, 2 the world ruthlessly altered by man, in which the processes that take place often get out of hand, our vision of the world is incomplete and unpredictable but if we indulge our unfettered imagination, then at least we have the opportunity to broaden our and others’ horizons – the field of vision. 2 Dipesh Chakrabarty was one of the first humanities researchers who discussed the term “Anthropocene” in his article titled “The climate of history: four theses”. The term was proposed by Paul J. Crutsen and Eugene F. Stoermer (2000) to name a new geological era in which mankind is the main geological factor. Chakrabarty asks: “how the way we think about human history should change at a time of rapid and irreversible climate change”. He analyses the assumptions of classical historiography and the latest work on global warming and concludes that “in the face of negative climate change it is necessary to complement the global history of capitalism with the specific history of humanity” (http:// tekstydrugie.pl/auth/dipesh-chakrabarty/ (accessed on 28/06/2019)

Nie postrzegamy rzeczywistości, tylko reakcje swojego mózgu. Jest jedna rzeczywistość, ale jej reprezentacja w różnych mózgach jest inna. Im bardziej różne mózgi, tym bardziej odmienne reprezentacje.[John Locke] Prawdziwe to są tylko sygnały elektryczne interpretowane przez twój mózg. [Morfeusz do Noego, Matrix] W świecie antropocenu bezwzględnie zmienionym przez człowieka, w którym zachodzące procesy często wymykają się nam spod kontroli, nasza wizja świata jest jakaś niekompletna, nie do przewidzenia, lecz jeśli pofolgujemy naszej nieskrępowanej wyobraźni, to jawi się przed nami przynajmniej możliwość poszerzania horyzontów naszego i innych – pola widzenia.

Данная статья посвящена вопросу фонологической адаптации звука /ɜ:/ в англицизмах. Нативизация этого гласного представляет собой интересную исследовательскую проблему из-за отсутствия в русском языке однозначного его эквивалента, что ведёт к значительной вариативности в его адаптации, на которую в различной степени, влияют взаимодействие фонетических и фонологических принципов русского языка, а также нормы орфографии и дополнительные внеязыковые факторы.   Настоящее исследование, является первой в своём роде попыткой систематизирования подобных языковых данных, а также их интерпретации в контексте современных теорий фонологической адаптации заимствований. Статья представляет собой тщательное изучение механизмов адаптации английского /ɜ:/ в устоявшихся заимствованиях с последующим его сравнением с результатами эксперимента, в ходе которого, перед носителями русского языка, не владеющими английским, была поставлена задача прослушать список английских слов и записать их кириллицей. Несмотря на то, что в англицизмах адаптация звука /ɜ:/ часто является отражением его записи в английских словах, такого рода транслитерация в большинстве случаев подкреплена фонологическими принципами русского языка, а также акустическим сходством звуков в русском и английском. Более того, процент модификаций, опирающихся исключительно на графической записи английских слов, является маргинальным, в то время как наиболее часто используемые адаптации демонстрируют четкое взаимодействие всех трёх факторов. Таким образом, описанные в статье результаты, проливают свет на механизмы и закономерности нативизации звука /ɜ:/ в англицизмах, а также вносят вклад в обсуждение явления фонологической адаптации заимствований в целом.

Adaptacja E /ɜ:/ w utrwalonych pożyczkach w języku rosyjskim jest wynikiem interakcji między ortografią, fonologią i percepcją. Najczęstszy wariant adaptacyjny jest zatem motywowany wszystkimi trzema siłami, podczas gdy mniej powszechne substytuty są poparte tylko fonologią i percepcją lub w przypadku najrzadszych wyłącznie ortografią. Wzorzec ten pokazuje również, że wpływ pisowni jest raczej ograniczony, jeśli formy te nie są fonologicznie lub percepcyjnie bliskie fonemowi docelowemu. Co więcej, zarówno fonologia jak i fonetyka są w stanie przewidzieć najczęstsze wzorce substytucji E /ɜ:/. Jednak podczas gdy podejście fonologiczne tylko poprawnie określa najodpowiedniejsze substytuty, podejście fonetyczne pozwała przewidzieć częstotliwość ich występowania (przynajmniej w przypadku pożyczek online). Różnice między pożyczkami dokonywanymi w czasie rzeczywistym i utrwalonymi dobrze pokazują w jakim stopniu poszczególne czynniki wpływają na ostateczny kształt zapożyczeń, więc badania nad adaptacją takich słów powinny obejmować dogłębną analizę różnych czynników językowych oraz pozajęzykowych.

In the process of loanword nativisation, foreign sounds are inevitably altered so as to comply with the phonological principles of the borrowing language. There is, however, an ongoing debate as to whether such modifications are attributable to the phonological similarity between the source and the target segments, their acoustic closeness, orthographic conventions of the languages involved or an impact of additional extralinguistic factors. The issue seems particularly relevant in the case of those sounds whose adaptation in the target language involves several changes. The present paper deals with the issue of the so-called British English long schwa adaptation in loanwords from English into Russian. E /ɜ:/ nativisation poses an interesting research problem due to its lacking a single phonologically or phonetically closest equivalent in Russian. Thus, a considerable variability can be observed in how it is adapted. The present paper aims to examine the major mechanisms and patterns of E /ɜ:/ nativisation in Russian loanwords and shed some light onto the interplay of phonology, acoustic similarity and orthography. Towards this goal, the major adaptation scenarios of 200 established loanwords containing E /ɜ:/ have been compared to the results of an online experiment in which 41 native speakers of Russian with no command of English listened to a list of English words containing the sound in question in different segmental contexts and were asked to transcribe them using Cyrillic characters. The analysis demonstrates that while established loanwords are often influenced by orthography, spelling-based adaptations are inevitably reinforced by phonology and in some cases acoustic similarity. Moreover, a number of such adaptations is marginal if they are not supported by either phonology or phonetics, and the most common substitutes show an interplay of all three factors. Hence, our findings shed some light onto the nature of /ɜ:/ nativisation in the Russian language as well as add to the debate of the loanword adaptation phenomena in general.
