During the reign of Sigismund I the Old relations between gentry and clergy were visibly tense. The main source of the conflict was the issue of a state reform suggested by chivalry. Crystalizing in the first half of the XVI century, execution movement program considerably infringed clergy’s legal and economic privileges. The reform program proposed by gentry pertained to several social, religious, economic and legal issues. In all these spheres the Church and chivalry differed in opinions, which resulted in a complicated confrontation and impossibility of working out of consensus. The fact that the compromise could not be reached made both sides act even more vigorously, insisting on fulfillment of all their demands. In the fight against the Senate and Monarchy, members of the Chamber of Deputies were still more and more convinced of their increasing power. Thus, still more boldly and unanimously, they defended rights of chivalry and demanded extension of privileges on expense of clergy and the mighty. However, gentry was able neither to impose permanent taxes on the Church nor devoid clergy of remaining the only authority in deciding on issues concerning the faith. Undoubtedly, due to unhesitant position of the Polish Episcopate and support of Sigismund I the Old, clergy managed to retain their political and economic privileges, although political privileges were considerably undermined during the reign of Sigismund Augustus.

The article analyses the structure and functions of seventy-three titles extracted from the first Polish-language popular-science journal, i.e. Nowe Wiadomości Ekonomiczne i Uczone. It was determined that the examined titles included both uninomial and binomial titles (25) as well as multinomial ones (48). Uninomial titles relate only to relatively short texts whose publication fell within a single issue of the journal. Long texts, divided into several parts and published in subsequent issues of the journal, had multinomial titles. The analysed titles (just as in the case of the titles of strictly-scientific modern articles) fulfilled the informative and substantial function. However, they did not perform the pragmatic and persuasive functions typical of the headlines present in modern popular-science press.

Titles are regarded as part of the delimitation frame and, therefore, as part of the structural aspect of the genre of Stations of the Cross. The purpose of the paper is to describe changes that took place during the 20th century, which was a period of particularly turbulent changes in the religious discourse. The study is based on material of about 200 texts dealing with this religious service, published between the beginning of the 20th century and the present day. Throughout the last century, the most common title was the simple genological term ‘Stations of the Cross’. At the beginning of the analyzed period, however, also longer titles, extensively informing about the content of the text, were fairly frequent. At the same time, they were also persuasive titles, because of the use of explicitly valuating lexis. Those titles gradually gave way to the use of laconic genological names as titles. After the Second Vatican Council, there were many variants of the service adapted to different audiences and various communication situations, which was reflected in the titles. Recently a new type of titles has appeared, whose purpose is to attract attention of the recipient. They are often based on puzzles, contrast, allusions, etc. Consequently, the receiver gets satisfaction from deciphering a puzzle or finding the source of the given quote or allusion. These phenomena are well-known in studies on language of the press, fiction and advertising, but – at the same time – this overlaps with current trends in the so-called new evangelization. In the entire period studied, the titles played an informative and impressive (or more precisely: persuasive) function. Persuasiveness intensified particularly at the beginning and towards the end of the analyzed period.

The twentieth century scholarship regarding women’s involvement in the Early Dynastic Period offers subjective and incomplete accounts of women’s roles in early Egyptian history. Scholarly commentary regarding the women from this period has so far not been able to provide a satisfactory account of their lives, or of their possible roles within that society. My Master’s study of women’s biographic details on funerary stelae/slabs from the First and Second Dynasty (ca. 3085–2544 BC) provides new insights on old data. This research employs a multi-disciplinary approach including statistical and textual analyses while applying gender as an analytical category. The early hieroglyphic script that records the women’s name and/or titles is re-analysed through a palaeographic and philological examination that evaluates previous interpretations. A dominant discourse that characterises this enquiry is the notion that the majority of women’s stelae, of which most have no titles, represent concubines and harem women. Examination of previous scholarly commentary identifies an androcentric bias that has shaped and dominated the interpretation and evaluation of women in the Early Dynastic Period since the 1960s (Kaplony 1963: 371–372; Kemp 1967: 26). The feasibility of the existence of the harem institution in the Early Dynastic Period itself has been reviewed and remains unsubstantiated. My study provides a highly needed new perspective. This paper aims to present the findings of the study along with a new framework that demonstrates the influential role of Early Dynastic women in the context of the socio-economic environment of the new state. This innovative framework identifies new social configurations, interdependency in working relationships between roles and genders, which suggests flexibility and lateral differentiation within the stratified society of Early Dynastic Egypt.

The usefulness of semantic and syntax analysis in discourse analysis. Chosen titles in Slovene popular science textsThe article is devoted to chosen titles and subtitles in Slovene-language popular science texts about Slovene history. The data comprise 110 examples taken from the three Slovene popular science books. The analysed phrases have different forms (nouns, adjective-modified nouns, nominalizations). The conducted study is methodologically based on semantic and syntax analysis – the analysis of the ways of realization of the predicate-argument structure on which a given initial para-text is founded – as applied in the context of textual analysis of scientific, and especially popular scientific, discourse. The author of the article investigates the relation between the given title and the content of the corresponding portion of the macro-text. Particularly interesting are titles formed by means of nominalization, that is to say – by means of a transformation of predicate-argument structure. When used as titles, nominalizations confirm their expected semantic and syntax features, such as the capacity for the omission of chosen elements, increased generality and the same time compactness of the message. They also proved fruitful elements of the strategies of macro-text construction based on using appropriate titles. Przydatność analizy semantycznej i składniowej do badań nad tekstem. Wybrane tytuły w słoweńskich tekstach popularnonaukowychArtykuł dotyczy wybranych tytułów rozdziałów i podrozdziałów w książkach popularnonaukowych o historii Słowenii. Materiał obejmuje 110 przykładów z języka słoweńskiego o zróżnicowanej postaci – rzeczowników, rzeczowników modyfikowanych przez przymiotniki, wyrażeń przyimkowych. Podjęte badania wpisują się w analizę semantyczno-składniową, czyli analizę sposobów realizacji potencjalnej struktury predykatowo-argumentowej fundującej dany paratekst inicjalny, w kontekście badań nad tekstem, zwłaszcza w ramach dyskursu naukowego w odmianie popularnonaukowej. Analizie poddano relację między tytułem a opatrzonym przez ten tytuł fragmentem makrotekstu. Szczególnie interesujące okazały się tytuły będące nominalizacjami, czyli transformacjami struktur predykatowo-argumentowych. Frazy o postaci nominalizacji w tytułach potwierdziły standardowe obserwacje semantyczno-składniowe łączone zwykle z transpozycją w nomen (możliwość redukcji wybranych składników, większą ogólność, a zarazem kondensację przekazu). Okazały się także owocne w strategiach budujących makrotekst poprzez użycie odpowiedniego tytułu.

The role of the German language in scientific communication in Germany has long been the subject of much discussion. In the media, including online, you can find a numerous articles on the subject. Titles in the press show that the German public is very concerned about this state of affairs. The headlines already leave no illusions that the German language is displaced in the scientific research by the English language. Are we dealing with the birth of new lingua franca? Based on selected titles I tried to show how far they correspond with the content of the article. Subjected analyses allowed to discover language strategies used in the titles to illustrate the problem.

The paper analyses the largest Polish mediaeval apocrypha, Rozmyślanie przemyskie. Using this example, the author shows the difficulty of formulating general judgments about mediaeval texts with a multilayered structure. The differences between the subsequent versions of the text prove to be rather large in the case of Rozmyślanie przemyskie. For this reason, even the assignment of the monument’s language to a specific dialectal base may apply to no more than a single layer of the text and, as a result, Red Ruthenian features may be found to co-appear with Lesser Polish ones. The author proposes that Rozmyślanie przemyskie displays both the vestiges of the original structure of the text, and traits of a new structure introduced by the last copyist. It is him who gave a title to the text, divided it in two, and added a considerable part of section titles. Therefore, we need to revise our current view that the last copyist was responsible for no more than the introduction of multiple mistakes into the text, and for incorporating into it the voice that was originally located in the margins and between the lines.

The article is an introduction to the analysis of the titles of Polish underground and alternative press, i.e. zines produced by subcultures, artistic and political groups. At the beginning the author presents some definitions and a typology of zines: fanzines and artzines. Then, the history of Polish zines in nonofficial “tertiary” and “alternative” circulation and the history of zines in the world is discussed. The next part presents general facts about zines: the first scientific development of zines, anthologies, catalogues, dissertations, biographies. Before the presentation of the research, the author discusses onomastic methodology and troubles with it: many scholars treat an analysis of zine titles as an innovation. Then, the author shows results of the title analysis of the zines produced by anarchists, punks, ecologists, animal rights activists and vegetarians. These were divided into cathegories, based on the semantic dominants („ideology”, „tradition”, „anti-aesthetic”, „humour”). Their texts operate in similar discourses. The last part of the article is a conclusion. Other titles (artistic and polital groups, metal music fans and hooligans) are presented in the second part of the article.

The system of dignities introduced by Alexios I Komnenos was an answer for the need of a new reformed title hierarchy, adequate for aristocratic model of exercising power. It served as a clear manifestation of the special privileged position of emperor’s kinsmen. The titles granted to those relatives and affines can be traced accurately up to the reign of Manuel I. So far, however, little space has been devoted to the analysis of that system during the Angelos dynasty.It is often generally assumed following Niketas Choniates testimony, that the title hierarchy in the late 12th century suffered certain loss of value or inflation. It is worth taking a closer look at this process, on the example of the titles traditionally granted to the closest family members, at the courts of Andronicus I Komnenos and the Angeloi. I would like to focus particularly on those dignities, that at the time of the Komnenoi were given to the emperor’s siblings and his sons-in-law – from sebastohypertatos to sebastokrator. That part of the title hierarchy was much closer to a ruler, making it easier to trace.The basic problem encountered by researchers of this period is the small number of sources, not allowing for full reconstruction of the title hierarchy. However, very limited information found in the written sources can be complemented by aristocratic lead seals, which often included the dignity of their owners.From such an analysis emerges a picture of a steady evolution of the Komnenian system. The emperors of the late 12th century adjusted court dignities to need at hand. Yet that process doesn’t seem to diminish significantly the value of the highest titles.

Zaprezentowane w artykule analizy przynoszą dowód na obecną już w nauce tezę, że znaczna część tytułów w „Rozmyślaniu przemyskim" pojawiła się w tym tekście w drodze jego kolejnych przekształceń i uzupełnień. Autorzy wskazali oprócz licznych argumentów lingwistycznych także zbiór poszlak innej natury: źródłoznawczych i tekstologicznych. Inkorporacja tytułów do tekstu „Rozmyślania przemyskiego" była zjawiskiem w tym tekście powszechnym, najczęściej polegała na wciągnięciu do tekstu notatek marginalnych, wpisanych tam zapewne po to, by łatwiej przeszukiwać ten ogromny tekst. Geneza części z nich polegała na wybraniu z tekstu reprezentacyjnego dla treści fragmentu i umieszczeniu go w postaci niezmienionej lub jego parafrazy na marginesie, skąd po kolejnych przekształceniach trafiał on z powrotem do tekstu. Artykuł uświadamia, jak specyficznym i odrębnym obiektem badań jest tekst staropolski, zwłaszcza wielowarstwowy. Tytuły w nim nie są funkcjonującym samodzielnie komunikatem pozostającym w wyłącznie symbolicznym związku z tekstem, nie muszą pochodzić od autora, mogą tekst dezintegrować, mogą też pozostawać z nim w związku nie tylko treściowym, ale i składniowym. Autorzy pokazują, że tylko łączne stosowanie narzędzi z wielu dziedzin (językoznawstwa, źródłoznawstwa, tekstologii, teologii) może przybliżać nas do coraz precyzyjniejszego opisu procesu twórczego, którego końcowym efektem jest taki tekst.

Analyses presented in the article prove the thesis, already present in science, that a significant part of titles in The Przemysl Meditation appeared in the text through its successive transformations and additions. The authors found, besides numerous linguistic arguments, also a lot of evidence of a different nature: source studies and textology. The incorporation of titles into The Przemysl Meditation was a common phenomenon in the text, the most common one was merging marginal notes into the text, left there presumably in order to make searching this huge text easier. The genesis of some of them was selecting a fragment from the text, representative of the content, and placing it unchanged or paraphrased on the margin from where, after successive transformations, it got back to text. The article brings to our attention the fact that an Old Polish text is a peculiar and distinct object of study, especially a multilayered one. Titles in such texts are not an independently functioning message in exclusively symbolic connection with the text, they do not have to come from the author, they may disintegrate the text or may remain with it in a relationship not only of content but also of syntax. The authors demonstrate that only the combined use of tools from many disciplines (linguistics, source studies, textology, theology) can bring us closer to getting a more precise description of the creative process which eventually results in the text.

The work that has recently been carried out at Djedkare’s royal cemetery at South Saqqara has brought to light new evidence from the pyramid complex of Queen Setibhor, the wife of King Djedkare. Located to the north east of the king’s pyramid, this monument is of particular interest for its unusual architectural fea tures. The newly uncovered evidence makes it possible to bring the discussion on this extraordinary queen slightly further, focusing not only on the monument’s architecture but also on the remains of its decorative programme. This article presents some of the newly uncovered relief fragments from the queen’s pyramid complex. The reliefs, which very likely come from the portico, belonged to a decorative theme showing the queen, whose figure is not preserved, with her female attendants and female offering bearers. Other similar depictions are attested in smaller fragments from other parts of the queen’s monument. Parallels to this de piction can be found in other monuments of Old Kingdom queens, indicating that such a decorative theme was one of the usual queenly decorative programmes. The relief fragments also provide new evidence on the titles and epithets of Queen Setibhor, above which a winged solar disc with two uraei was carved. This evidence further underlines the exceptional role played by Queen Setibhor in the late Fifth Dynasty.

The article discusses the issue of proper names defined as symptoms of culture. The first part is of a theoretical character and develops the theory of symptomatology of culture in the context of semiotics (Ch. Peirce), psychology and psychoanalysis (S. Freud and J. Lacan), and onomastics. Symptomatology of culture is a practice of interpreting a certain group of texts of culture and extracting common qualitative traits within them. This is especially in the case of those traits specific to them and often encountered, which could testify to particular serious and deeply-rooted social phenomena leading to their appearance. In the empirical part the author presents a way of using (onymic) symptomatology in practice to research modern culture. She uses the examples of popular psychological and auto-therapeutic guidebooks and treats them as linguistic symptomatic forms of the most significant linguistic and cultural phenomena along with their social causes and functions which are often dysfunctional or abnormal in character. The analysis comprises the most typical conceptual and syntactic constructions encountered in the group.
