Zborník príspevkov z 2. ročníka medzinárodnej vedeckej konferencie zo dňa 22.6.2017. Fakulta aplikovaných jazykov, Ekonomická univerzita v Bratislave, Bratislava.
Predložený zborník predstavuje výstup z medzinárodnej konferencie, ktorá niesla názov Jazyk a politika: medzi lingvistikou a politológiou. Organizátorom konferencie boli okrem Fakulty aplikovaných jazykov Ekonomickej univerzity v Bratislave aj Ústav politických vied SAV a Slovenská spoločnosť pre regionálnu politiku pri SAV. Jednalo sa o interdisciplinárnu konferenciu s cieľom preskúmať fenomén politického jazyka očami odborníkov z viacerých vedeckých disciplín. Nielen lingvistiky a politológie, ale rovnako sociológov, ekonómov, ako aj odborníkov na interkultúrnu a masmediálnu komunikáciu. Politický jazyk je totiž spoločným objektom výskumu viacerých humanitných a spoločenských disciplín.
COMMUNICATION has become a key mantra of our times. Without it there is no chance for cooperation or at least for mutual understanding of different worldviews, lifestyles and values. Whether we talk about communication within a family, a society or between nations, the necessity to learn how to express appropriately one’s own attitudes and show respect for the attitudes of others is a crucial competence associated with soft skills.

Though many countries foster foreign language education from young age still tertiary level education seems to carry the weight of responsibility for preparing the young generation for real life in a globalized world where coping in a variety of private and/or professional environment is almost impossible without language and intercultural competence.
b”A COMPANION TO JOHN F. KENNEDYA COMPANION TO JOHN F. KENNEDY “Marc J. Selverstone has compiled an indispensable volume of essays on John F. Kennedy and his presidency, written by a stellar cast of scholars. What stands out in sharp relief in this wide-ranging and authoritative book is how consequential were Kennedy’s thousand days for the United States and for the world, and how controversial is his legacy. Fredrik Logevall, Stephen and Madeline Anbinder Professor of History, Cornell University “Marc J. Selverstone has brought together a remarkable group of scholars who illuminate the many important ideas of, and events that occurred during, this brief administration. This book is the best record of the Kennedy years.” Alan Brinkley, Allan Nevins Professor of American History, Columbia University “This collection of talented scholars and their research and thoughts on John F. Kennedy is an invaluable resource: a deeply informed conversation for the ages.’ Richard Reeves, writer, syndicated columnist, and senior lecturer at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Southern California
The aim of this volume is to witness how the activities of the Prague School have continued to bring important new insights and discussions between the 1940s and the present time. Contributions are included which have escaped attention on an international scale because they were published in Czech; several papers have been written especially for this volume. The contributions cover various domains: syntax, morphology, sociolinguistics, graphemics, the language system, the lexicon, and contrastive linguistics.

A distinguished group of scholars and prominent figures here offers thoughtful new perspectives on the tenor and conduct of public life in contemporary America. Originating in a shared concern that our civic culture was becoming coarser and more polarized, Public Discourse in America provides a critical corrective to this widespread misperception about declining civility in public culture and the ways we as citizens negotiate our differences. Together these essays explore the current condition and centrality of public discourse in our democracy, investigating how it has changed through our history and whether it fails to approach our widely held, but often unarticulated, ideal of "reasoned a...
