This paper analyzes the use of perfect tense forms in a collection of Old-Russian charters: Testaments and Contractural Letters of the Russian Great and Appanage Princes of the XIV–XVI centuries. A special attention has been paid to the connection between the presence of an explicit subject and an auxiliary verb and their strict mutual dependence has been proved.
The paper presents a formal account of sentences with a numeral-nominal subject and an adjectival complement, such as Tych pięciu facetów zostało zabitych ‘These five guys were killed’. The agreements in such sentences are highly idiosyncratic. To cope with them in the framework of a certain formal grammar of Polish, a number of extra means are proposed: special “numeral” realization of the nominal phrase in subject position, special “plural” adjectival complement, special rules that introduce the adjectival phrase in genitive, special valence frames for such strange phrases, and, finally, a special mechanism of interphrasal gender-number agreements. The paper argues for individual treatment of idiosyncrasies, instead of an artificial account in terms of general principles.
The paper discusses the problem of identification of a special type of modern Polish verbs that do not inflect for person. In the literature, they are known as czasowniki niewłaściwe, literally ‘improper verbs’, but the descriptions of their various interpretations lead to the conclusion that they can be no longer equated with verbs uninflected for person. The author proposes that the criterion of syntactic position of the subject can be used in their identification.
The article is an attempt to present the structures in which the locative element plays the role ofthe subject, naming the place which a certain feature is attributed to. The lexical material comesfrom Russian texts belonging to the reproductive register of the speech (the narrative). The analysiswas based on the main ideas of Galina Zolotova’s functional grammar concept
There are many misconceptions about what is called “integral education”. We propose an integral approach to education based on the historical thinking of John Dewey and on the more recent AQAL concept by Ken Wilber. At the centre of integral education, there is a Subject. Subject equals his/her perspective. Integral education is a process of constructing/creating perspectives in the subject. We propose that four main perspectives can be applied to the educational process and the Integral Education Matrix includes these perspectives. The matrix can be a useful tool for planning actions and outcomes in the process of education.
What can be said of Pierre Klossowski’s works’ hybridism, he who, philosopher, writer, translator and painter, unabashedly claimed to be a « monomaniac » ? This gap brings about a tension between what we call « hybridism » in his writings (to talk about this sole medium) and a coherence in his « obsessions ». Furthermore, hybridism can be inferred from the variety from which his works take their source and the qualities which the remains of the notion of « subject » inherit. Klossowski’s work, itself a non-cartesian anthropology, calls upon theologians, latin classics, as much as so-called « transgressive » philosophers. Hence hybridism, once coupled with the simulacrum, becomes a guiding thread, kindling the word’s etymology (hybris and ibrida), in an « excessive » and « bastardised » style that does away with any form of identity, be that of the writer itself.

Artykuł dotyczy problematyki podmiotowości rozumianej tu jako swoista wewnętrzność. Ukazuje na wybranych przykładach, rozwój tej idei w myśli filozoficznej, prezentując zarazem jej zasadnicze punkty odniesienia i momenty przełomowe w jej samorozwoju. W dalszej części, na przykładzie teorii strukturacji, uwypukla jej zasadnicze cechy związane z samozwrotnością, samorefleksyjnością i podmiotową autonomią budowania przez jednostkę własnego projektu życia w perspektywie społecznej. Podsumowaniem powyższych analiz jest wyodrębnienie i ukazanie wybranych wątków istotnych z punktu widzenia tworzenia pedagogiki podmiotowej.

The article concerns the issue of subjectivity understood here as a specific interiority. It shows, using selected examples, the development of this idea in philosophical thought, presenting its essential points of reference and breakthrough moments in its self-development. Next, using the example of structuration theory, it highlights its essential features related to self-reflexivity, self-reflexivity and the subjective autonomy of building an individual's own life project from a social perspective. The summary of the above analyzes is the isolation and presentation of selected threads important from the point of view of creating subjective pedagogy.
This essay attempts at finding the essential connection between theory of discourse and the Michał Heller’s writing strategy. Some fundamental concepts of Michael Foucault become very stimulative in light of Heller’s vision of connecting disciplines (physics/cosmology, theology/religion, philosophy). The aim of this article is also to reveal the problems of using narrow meanings of some concepts (especially “institution”, “authority”).
The author of the article suggests reading Dorota Masłowska’s debut novel Wojna polsko-ruska pod flagą biało-czerwoną from the perspective of the feminist literary critics. She uses Nancy K. Miller’s concept of arachnology. The author concentrates on parts of the novel that have been overlooked so far in reviews and interpretations. She examines a character in the book, a young girl, who is the author’s alter ego. The auctorial subject is revealed on different levels in the text: as a character in the novel, the author of the text that is being read and in a monologue of the narrator, Silny, whose narration is influenced by elements beyond his own consciousness and language. The experience of growing mature and writing is developed in the plot, through the consciousness of the main character and only revealed gradually. It is at the end of the novel that the author finally gives up the mask of the character and speaks for herself.
The Unaccusative Hypothesis states that the Subject of unaccusative verbs is an underlying or deep direct object; and thus, it is semantically patient and displays many syntactic properties of a direct object of transitive verbs, which have been interpreted as unaccusative diagnostics. For modern Spanish the following unaccusativity tests have been proposed: tendency of the subject to be in a posverbal position, the possibility of the unaccusative verbs to take posverbal bare subjects, and, according to many researchers, the preference to have indefinite subjects. Th e inherently directed motion verbs, such as arrive, come, come in and go, are often considered unaccusative by the followers of Unaccusative Hypothesis. In this paper we analize the semantic and syntactic properties of the subject of these verbs in Old Spanish and we show that the subject, at times, has the semantic function of a Patient and, at others, of an Agent. For this reason, they cannot only be labeled as unaccusative verbs, because they also present inergative constructions according to this parameter. On the other hand, the proposed properties as unaccusative diagnostics can be explained from the semantic, pragmatic and discourse factors which govern the information distribution in the clause. Consequently, their value as unaccusative diagnostics declines.
The concept of a "woman figure" by Emmanuel Lévinas, is an example, inwhich the notions of "masculinity" and "femininity" serve to determine the character of a certain proposition of a Subject. Lévinas introduced sexualcharacteristics into the neutral subject, yet he is incon-sistent in his treatment of the idea of a Woman and, moreover, he assigned subjectivity to a single gender: the masculine. Nonetheless, the criticism of Lévinas’s model of femi-ninity from a feminist viewpoint is neither simple nor clear. Lévinas continu- ally evades such criticism. He re-established the body and sensuality as key aspects of meeting with the Other. And also, he criticizes the Western ontolog- ical tradition as a theoretical source of violence against the Other, since – as he claims – on a high level of abstraction it appears that thematisation itself is a violence. At the same time, Lévinas proposes ontology of a "woman". In rela-tion to this, one needs to ask the question: why does Lévinas, whilst stating theneed to be freed from ontology, at the same time create an ontological wom- an? And additionally, what are the philo-sophical and ethical consequences of the phenomenology of femininity that are presented by Lévinas?
Functionally-oriented linguistic theories, such as cognitive grammar (CG), offer nuanced descriptions of the meanings and uses of grammatical features. A simplified characterization of the semantics of the English active and passive voice grounded in CG terms and based on the reference point model is presented, as it is the basis of the instructional treatment offered to one of the groups in the quasiexperimental study reported in the paper. The study compares the effects of feature- focused grammatical instruction covering the form and meaning/use of the English voices based on CG with those of teaching based on standard pedagogical grammar rules. The results point to relatively high effectiveness of both instructional options in fostering the use of the target structures in both more controlled and more spontaneous performance, with traditional instruction being more successful than that based on CG with respect to the latter. A possible explanation of this superiority is that the subset of the participants (n = 27) exposed to the traditional explanations found them simple and easy to apply, contrary to the situation in the other group.
The system of athlete - a combination educational influences during a focused multi-training process, contributing to the development of a general human and moral qualities of the person, and the formation of the specific condition of the young man (athlete) required to achieve a high competitive performance in the sport. However, poorly disclosed the role of teaching factors in sports training system, which in addition to learning motor tasks actions enable the organization to promote sports activities personality. As a general trend, with domestic practice sports higher achievements, you can select that athletes have emerged in the minds of the validity of their sporting discipline, and which are at the stages to realize individual potential and preservation of high sports significantly more independent in their actions and decision-making. Sports activities formed to the extent of becoming an athlete person under the laws of transformation of quantitative changes in the new quality. To manage this transition, we must understand: it something like the effort of thinking parents «put up» their children, although in doing so they lose them, because figuratively speaking, become useless young shoots. The process of formation of the person which is in question begins with the formation of an athlete who already understand their responsibility for the final result image «itself in the desired future». You need to imagine what kind of person to whom an athlete I would see myself. If the image with the help of a coach or other adult family created by a reliable guide not only for sports activities, but also a person of life. Sports activity is remarkable such as thinking and controlled by a person's own activity as a skilled athlete is not only able to take responsibility for their own behavior, given the following training and competition, but also exercise the right here and now, initiative and resourcefulness to ensure the achievement (and repetition) competitive desired result.
The article contains considerations on Marek Bieńczyk’s literary output and his book Kontener, published in 2018. All essays from the volume manifest their autobiographical and literary character. The main aim of the paper is to make a diagnosis connected with the particular and common (mis)understanding of the relations between death and life, mourning and vitality, melancholy and literature. This objective is accomplished through essay strategies. In texts that are part of Kontener, the suggestive and expressive subject makes continual new inquiries in order to find the essence of their (Bieńczyk’s) personal, and especially textual, identity.
This paper proposes a common ground for discussion between linguistic and architectural production in the framework of some late Cognitive Theories of meaning construc-tion like Conceptual Metaphor Theory (from Lakoff and Johnson 1980) and Conceptual Integration Theory (from Fauconnier and Turner 2002). This common ground will be analyzed from formal plan making reference to Wittgenstein's linguistic thesis. For instance, understanding his architectural production in Palais Stonborough requires a realistic knowledge of the author's specific conception of a work of art as an object seen sub specie aeternitatis. In the author's view, this construal demands the nullification of the subjective component, since the work of art must aim to become an objective description of the totality of existing states of affair, which is the world. Thus, following Wittgenstein's conception of art, beauty emerges from the objectivity of the work in a process that must run on the side-lines of subject's mediation. We are confronted with an inclusive representational problem: Is this objectivity of the work possible as conceptually constructed and linguistically expressed by Wittgenstein in his written essays? To answer this question, we will conceptually analyze the two subcategories of linguistic plan and formal plan focusing on the way they project partial structure from the domains of object and of subject; our aim is to prove, applying feasible cognitive poetic and linguistic principles, methods, and models, that artful ideas that are linguistically valid in Tractatus cannot be directly applied to architectural production. We conclude that both plans are not really interchangeable.
‘Being with oneself in the other’ is a well-known formula that Hegel uses to characterize the basic relation of subjective freedom. This phrase points to the fact that subjects can only come to themselves if they remain capable of going beyond themselves. This motif also plays a significant role in Hegel’s philosophy of art. The article further develops this motif by exploring the extent to which this polarity of selfhood and otherhood is also characteristic of states of aesthetic freedom. It does not offer an exegesis of Hegel’s writings, but attempts to remain as close as possible to the spirit of Hegel’s philosophy – with some help from Kant and Adorno. The argument begins with some key terms on the general state of subjective freedom in order to distinguish it from the particular role of aesthetic freedom and then, finally, drawing again on Hegel, works out the sense in which aesthetic freedom represents an important variant of freedom.
The purpose of the essay is to critically analyze the influence of J. Derrida’s deconstruction on David J. Gunkel’s book Deconstruction (MIT Press 2021). Gunkel’s handbook is aimed at making deconstruction a tool of critical thinking accessible to non-professionals. It turns out that accomplishing this task comes at the expense of precisely the critical potential of deconstruction itself. Gunkel is well aware that his arguments are sometimes superficial and overlook deeper problems that should be addressed. Such a failure takes the form of a fetishistic denial, which in psychoanalysis is summarized by the formula “I know well, but all the same.” In turn, deconstruction itself, insofar as it is separated from Kant’s transcendental philosophy and Hegel’s dialectics, becomes an academic ideology. Restoring its proper subversive potential can only be done by returning to a philosophy of reflection, in which the thinker himself must ultimately consider his own position as an author and bring it under criticism. This is the path that Gunkel avoids, because he could then no longer be the author of a handbook on deconstruction, rather than someone who practices deconstruction.
The paper raises the topic of what the functional and logical notion of subject is. It examines the syntax-semantic nature of Icelandic and Polish quirky subject constructions (subjectless clauses in which the initial DP bears oblique Case) with psych-verbs. Of main interest is the full vs. default agreement on V which nominative DPs and quirky subjects always trigger, respectively. We attempt to define the primitive notion of subject from two standpoints – its LF representation and how it is mirrored syntactically by the predication relation of the subject with respect to vP/VP and the proposition of the sentence in TP between the subject and T′. We discuss the semantic and configurational dependencies between quirky subjects and nominative DPs and vP and TP/CP. The paper investigates also the landing site for non-nominative initial DPs and argues for the Topic Phrase in the Left Periphery (Rizzi 1997) as a most natural candidate to host quirky subjects. Hopefully, the conclusions reached here may offer some way of bringing the notion of subject towards its more satisfactory understanding and description within the generative approach.
The contribution focuses on the latest book produced by the contemporary Slovak authoress Mária Ferenčuhová. From all the different aspects of her poetry the article explores the phenomenon of dehumanization of the patient’s self. This dehumanization is conceived as a criticism of Cartesian dualism: transformation of the human subject into an impersonal object. This act of criticism is created through the poetic thematization of corporeity which is pushed into the foreground due to sickness, old age and treatment within a hospital environment ruled over by medical bureaucracy. As a result of this reification, the verses reveal a deep internal tension concerning its subject. Indeed, one of the signs of the objectification of the subject is the adoption of a sterile vocabulary from the ambient of medical bureaucracy which reduces human beings into mere objects of medical treatment.
