The authoress presents the major assumptions, research methods and achievements of the Moscow ethnolinguistic school, created by Nikita I. Tolstoy in the 1970s. The school investigates and describes traditional spiritual Slavic culture on the basis of language, folklore, customs and beliefs. Research concerned with the reconstruction of the Proto-Slavic heritage embraces the culture of all Slavs in its regional differentiation. Language as a system of signs is taken as the major access route to culture; culture is similarly treated as a semiotic system. This allows one to employ, for the study of culture, the conceptual apparatus and methods of linguistics.Language and culture are viewed as isomorphic and connected in the sense that linguistic signs (words) and cultural signs (rituals, artifacts etc.) complement and substitute for each other in their functions of coming to the knowledge of the world, communicating, operating in the society and others. However, language and culture differ in the nature of their respective signs: linguistic signs are specific, cultural signs are not, because symbolic meanings are also ascribed to purely practical behaviours and objects. Motivations of symbolic meanings may be captured in the behavioural and belief-related context: they are usually based on objective features of the referents, their appearance and functions. Signs of culture, too, are homonymic and synonymic. In the Moscow school, symbolic and mythological meanings are distinguished from purely linguistic meaning; they are treated as cultural, not linguistic connotation. The ethnolinguistic research of the school is open to inspiration from linguistic pragmatics, text analysis, cognitive and anthropological linguistics. Of two understandings of ethnolinguistics, a narrower and a broader one, it is the latter that has received more support in the Moscow circle: the conception treats linguistic, folk and ethnographic data as the basis for arriving at the mentality of a group. This is the common denominator of the two Slavic ethnolingusitic schools: in Moscow and Lublin, Poland. The most important achievements of Moscow ethnolinguists, who have so far published over three thousand studies, are presented as well.

The object of the article is to show how semantic grammar theory can be applied as a first step to describe natural languages. Taking into account that neither purely syntactic criteria nor the application of cognitive semantics as the only method allows us to describe any natural language from every point of view, we have proposed to study and research the natural language within the framework of so called 'cultural linguistics' (J.Wilk-Racieska). The main purpose of the article is to show the importance of understanding the semantic level in the process of learning and researching.

Gömöry Codex (GömK.) is a manuscript of 328 pages, mainly containing prayers, of Dominican provenance. Its core material was copied in 1516 in a nunnery located on what is called Margaret Island today. The full transliteration of GömK., with a facsimile version, footnotes, and 130 pages of introduction, was published by LEA HAADER and ZSUZSANNA PAPP in 2001 as volume 26 of the series Old Hungarian Codices. The commentaries in this edition of GömK. are of high professional standards, and the text edition itself is very good, too. Its Introduction is the most detailed study so far within the literature related to the publication of Hungarian-language codices. Following the general method of the series, it describes the codex itself, relates its history, thoroughly investigates, among other things, characteristics of content of some portions of the text, indicating their Latin sources and parallel portions of other Hungarian codices, and covers the interrelationships of Hungarian and Latin textual versions. It is intriguing that the closest textual parallels of some prayers are found in the Dominican nuns' prayer books of the St. Catherine Cloister of Nuremberg. The Introduction thoroughly presents palaeographic and orthographic features of the copiers' hands, 11 in all. The present paper partly reviews this edition of GömK., and partly discusses, in relation to this edition, certain historical linguistic and cultural historical aspects of, primarily Hungarian, codices.

Theory of fictional worlds has been proven a useful tool in modern narrative semantics. Based on the theory of communication, and thus being able to reflect the creation as well as the reception of literary works, the semantics of fictional worlds my be considered an important tool of inquiry literary history. One of the most challenging tasks of literary history remains the demarcation of literariness, which is connected with language and aesthetic function of the literary artwork in the structuralist discourse. The study tries examine how the fictional worlds semantics meets the specific preconditions and needs of literary historical investigation.

One of the fundamental problems of Tadeusz Rózewicz's poetry is the issue of resistance offered by the experience of the body's existence, its suffering and desire to the institution of literature. Power and violence of literature make up Rózewicz's 'totalitarian' order, which needs to be disrupted by a tough work inside the discourse, and which breaks the determined conventions of expression. This gesture of emancipaton by the author of 'Anxiety' is reflected in 'The Soul', in which the borders between genres and literary types are blurred. The text under consideration is a textual hybrid in which the language of desire is freed by the death of a beloved woman and subject set exclusively against the absent lover. Rózewicz's text depicts an irreducible dimension of desire. Writing becomes a stage for expression of both the painful loss and of longing for eternally dragged away and impossible presence.

Arrian (Anab. III. 25.3 etc., IV. 16 etc.) describes Alexander's military expedition in Transoxania, where he and his Macedonian army had to confront Iranian nomadic cavalry for the first time. His experiences and strategy influenced the Antique civilisation's behaviour and defence against those people nearly a thousand years long. The present paper locates the historical site of the events by explaining and interpreting the personal, ethnic, and geographic names in Arrian's and Strabo's texts. The location of these sites has not been clarified yet sufficiently in the secondary literature.

The text is an attempt to comprehend Miron Bialoszewski's late writing through the prism of mutually exclusive categories of mysticalness (individual approach to the Absolute), mythology (poetic myth-creating activity) and liturgy (actions aiming to communion with the deity) understood as strategies taken to voice the religious matters. In Bialoszewski's atheistic thinking system, the author tries to explain the basic paradox of self-creation constructed with the language and sacred themes. In the final part of the paper the author analyzes the relationship between Bialoszewski's writing with space, time, and collective rites, as well as sums up the presence of Judeo-Christian religious context in the poet's writings.

A contribution from the conference 'The Second Avant-garde' (part of the grant-funded project 'The Myths, Language, and Taboos of the Czech Post-Avant-garde from the Forties to the Sixties'), which was held on 23 October 2007. The article is an attempt to describe the difference between the Modern and the Avant-garde, while acknowledging shared features. To grasp the difference between the various trends of Modern literature (and art) , the author considers the topic from the perspective of the different extent of willingness of Avant-garde are and Modern art to come to terms with the inability of language to enable precise expression, particularly the choice either to come to terms with the limits of language and endeavour to surmount them, which, the author argues, Modernity opted for, or to substitute the visual form for the verbal form, the decision of the Avant-garde.

This essay deals with the issue of Polish reception of the culture of the Soviet Union period, not-as-yet touched upon in research on the gulag discourse. Five canonical works of this current are reflected upon - those by M. Wankowicz, B. Obertynska, G. Herling-Grudzinski, T. Wittlin, B. Skarga - and interpreted in view of the issues of mutual perception of the two nations involved and of creation of images of other nationalities in literature.

Two case-studies concerning comparative iconography of pre-Roman Italy. The first provides further proof of the well-known connections between Etruria and Picenum in the Orientalizing period. The second shows that one and the same iconographic scheme needs different interpretations in different cultural contexts (Picenum vs. Basilicata).

The paper presents frame semantics methodology (Fillmore, 1982) applied to semantic description of Polish verbs. Football related verbs were chosen as the research material and were selected from half million words corpus of football match comments. The description was based on the frame semantics methodology (Fillmore, Atkins 1992). As a result, 33 frame elements were distinguished and were used to describe 14 semantic frames grouped in 5 scenes. First two sections of the paper give a brief introduction to frame semantics as well as English electronic dictionary FrameNet and some similar projects. The following sections present syntactic and semantic description of selected verbs. The last section gives an example of lexical unit description.

The article discusses the communicative meaning of liturgical gestures during the Roman Catholic Mass. The gestures are considered and analyzed from two perspectives: the former is connected with theology and the latter with the non-verbal communication. The meaning and usage of the gestures are then interpreted by applying Goffman's dramaturgical theory of social life.

The novelette of a Slovak writer Gejza Vámos 'Jazdecká legenda' (Legend on Riding) was published in 1932. Both contemporary critics as well as the historians of literature evaluated the book as a non problematic, relaxing intermezzo: from the aspect of editing sequence the author's work 'Jazdecká legenda' was published between two most important works of the author - novels 'Atomy Boha' (The Atoms of God) and 'Odlomená haluz' (Cut out Branch). In the interpretation of the novelette of Vámos , the author of the study observes changes of the genre of legend in the modern Slovak prose. The former hagiographic context of the legend was transformed into a form of irony and parody, influenced also by 'lower' forms of oral tradition. 'Jazdecká legenda' is also a profession like prose, with such a theme as experiencing the institution of army. In this novelette Vámos controversially follows his previous literary works - 'a medical novel' Atomy Boha (1928), and some tendencies of Czecho-Slovak and European literature between two WWs.

The collocations were excerpted from official texts found on notice boards in Tarnów district. They were analysed in three aspects: methodological and structural, lexicographical and educational. First, the subject of the text containing collocations was defined, then their formal and grammatical structures were described as well as their lexical contents. The collocations were classified into four groups concerning whether the words used in them belong to general Polish or are used only in its certain variants. As a result the author could describe how many idioms are found in different classes of collocations and he proposed new, rational way of teaching idioms at school.

The study is a part of the collective project dedicated to the key works of the Slovak literary of 20th c. It deals with the interpretation of the book of Ivan Strpka 'Modry vrch' (The Blue Mount). It is a collection of the lyric songs written in a co-operation with the chief representative of the Slovak rock music Dezo Ursiny during the time when Strpka was excluded from the official literary life. The study is a recapitulation of a discussion about the possibilities in the overlapping arts and pop-culture. This discussion started with this book. The study also deals with the context of the rock music in which the Strpka's book was operating. It shows that the texts from the 'Modry vrch' can bear the criteria of poetry. The co-operation with I. Strpka means fulfilment the principles of his work; it does not mean breaking them or applying of them automatically. The study is focused on the context of Slovak poetry from the beginning of 60s. It reveals the filiations of poetics of the texts of 'Modry vrch' with the expression of the artistic neo-avant-gardes that is connected with Strpka's work in the literary group 'Osameli bezci' (Lonely Runners) proclaiming the art opened toward life. Interpretation of themes and motives in the texts of 'Modry vrch' searches the connections with the poetics of Ivan Strpka presented in his collections of the poems. The key theme is a reconstruction of the wholeness, fullness and satisfaction of the human existence and world, restoration of a nature of a man. This attitude influences also a language of the poems. The attempt of the lyrical subject toward the world is stressed by strong sensibility. The central motive of Strpka's poetry - a child and childhood - is remarkably presented in this part of the book. In the second part harmonic relationship to world is broken and complicated. There are more and more moments of disharmony and problems in the life. The poems from 'Modry vrch' prove, that creative co-operation with D. Ursiny was a possibility for I. Strpka to enrich his own poetry in the new dimensions. The verses included in his book are more powerful than many of his poems from his previous collections of poems.

After the Slavonic peoples were baptized, the former sacral terminology had to be confronted with a new one. Before the Christian era supernatural beings were believed to exist: those were demons, not classified as either good or evil (the only distinguished group being protective spirits). Having performed specific rituals, one could force demons to act in their favor. None of the pre-Christian names of supernatural beings has been transferred to those of Christian good spirits (angels). However, some of the names of demons became names of evil spirits (devils). 'Bies', a ghost initially believed to cause insanity, which is indicated by the semantics of the word's root in the languages Old Church Slavonic and Russian, has gained the meaning 'szatan' in the process of translation of the Bible. 'Czart' was a mighty and cruel demon, as in Greek 'kratys', Goth 'hartus' (other etymologies being less convincing). The meaning 'Christ's mighty enemy' emerged among the Slavic peoples in the Christian era. Other names of angels and devils originate from the Bible. A name which can be found in the Greek translation, 'aggelos' (the equivalent of the Hebrew 'malak' -messenger) was later narrowed to the meaning 'messenger of God' and became common in the whole Christian world. Specific names 'cherubin' and 'serafin' originate from Greek as well. A few archangels are distinguished by proper names:'Gabriel', 'Michal', 'Rafael'. The name 'szatan' corresponds with the Hebrew and Aramaic 'satan, satana' (slanderer). In Greek texts it was accompanied by the name 'diabolos' (accuser). Associating the name 'diabel' with proto Indo-European *deivos (God), whose Iranic continuant, after the introduction of God's new name from the root *bhag-, became the name of an 'old god', i.e. the 'wrong god' (close to the meaning of 'szatan'), due to chronology and scope of usage cannot confront criticism.

This essay is focused on the phenomenological qualification not only - as demonstrated by Elmar Holenstein in particular - of linguistic aspects of the Prague School, but also its literary-studies aspects. One must also take into account the transcendental result of a given impulse, of the determining status of the opposite transcendental gestures of an artistic text. It is useful in this connection to imagine the shifts in the composition of the 'artistic situation', which arise from Mukarovsky's 1943 distinction between the work-thing and the work-sign.
