A Journey through Knowledge
A Journey through Knowledge: Festschrift in Honour of Hortensia Pârlog is a collection of articles dedicated to one of the best known Romanian university teachers and linguists, both in her home country and well beyond its borders. The heterogenous material (both in terms of the range of issues tackled and in terms of the approaches adopted by the authors) in the three sections of the volume finds itself a common denominator in the idea of “traveling” and “journey”, around which they are organized. In the first section, Traveling across Identities and Emotions, Pia Brînzeu touches upon some identity issues, in dealing with a form of subversion in Coz Shakespeare, by Marin Sorescu; ...
Strict Negative Concord in Slavic and Finno-Ugric
Expressing negation is a universal property of all human languages. There is considerable variation, however, in the exact ways negation materializes cross-linguistically. Strict Negative Concord differs both from the Negative Polarity Item strategy and the Asymmetric Negative Concord strategy in that the sentence becomes negative only if the sentence negator is overtly expressed in it, irrespective of how many negative expressions are used. The central aim of this book is to describe Strict Negative Concord in some Slavic and Finno-Ugric languages. In particular, the volume gives an insight into the forms Strict Negative Concord manifests itself in Russian, Polish, Czech, Slovenian (Slavic), Finnish, Hungarian, Mari (Finno-Ugric) and the closely related Selkup (Samoyedic) to a wide linguistic community. It aims to create a platform for comparison with similar phenomena in well-described European languages.
Language in Use
Language in Use: The Case of Youth Entertainment Magazines is a collection of seven studies by several Romanian, Bulgarian and Slovenian linguists on the discourse of entertainment magazines targeted at young readers, and published in their respective countries. The starting point of the seven studies was the idea that the discourse specific to the variety of printed media products selected for analysis was characterized by distinctive features and that these features might exert a manipulative influence on the linguistic and social behavior of the targeted readership. The scholars’ initial aim was to validate these hypotheses and to confirm their soundness across countries. However, they hope that, besides suggesting new perspectives on the discourse chosen for analysis and thus filling a gap in the eastern European literature in the field, they may also develop (admittedly, within limits) media literacy in young readers, by equipping them with skills that could transform them from passive media consumers into responsible readers, able to make informed decisions and thus be less vulnerable to the strategies of manipulation employed by those who control information.
Pravopisna stikanja
Namen monografije je predstaviti utemeljitve za dopolnitve in spremembe pravopisnih pravil, hkrati pa tudi za potrditev njihove ustreznosti. Pravopisna problematika se je po obdobju kritik ob izidu SP 2001 v zadnjem desetletju umaknila v ozadje in nova vprašanja niso bila več strokovno tematizirana v tolikšni meri, kot smo bili vajeni v preteklih obdobjih, čeprav ostajajo enako pereča. Zlasti javno zastavljena jezikovna vprašanja opozarjajo na pomanjkljivosti obstoječih pravil, na težave pri njihovem interpretiranju in na nove, še ne evidentirane položaje rabe. Monografijo, v kateri je svoja spoznanja strnilo 18 avtorjev, sestavljajo trije vsebinski sklopi: prispevki prvega sklopa umeščajo pravopisni dogovor v širše družbeno okolje, v drugem avtorji iščejo odgovore na posamezna tradicionalna, a še vedno odprta pravopisna vprašanja. V tretjem sklopu je odprto vprašanje posredništva in posrednikov pravopisa, terminologije, pravorečnih ter onomastičnih vprašanj v pravopisu. Iz prispevkov v monografiji je razvidna težnja po posodobitvi pravopisnih smernic, po večji avtentičnosti jezikovnega gradiva in odprtosti do že uveljavljenih slogovnih možnosti.

Exploring Civic Innovation for Social and Economic Transformation
This edited collection examines the globally rising phenomenon of civic innovation. Combining nuanced theory with rich empirical examples, this book defines the dynamic and complex process of civic innovation as the multiple economic, political and social processes where peoples, organizations, movements and ideas are shaping struggles for global justice on the interface of capitalism. Exploring Civic Innovation for Social and Economic Transformation reflects the increasingly holistic approach to development in terms of both teaching and research, and illustrates how civic innovation happens everywhere; at the global and institutional level as well as in communities and for individuals. Through conceptual debate and narrative accounts, this book explores the new practices emerging from varying economies, transformative empowerment strategies in global value chains, local politics of social movements and the struggles for rights in regards to race, gender and sexuality. Bringing together scholars from a range of disciplines, this book would be of interest to post-graduate students of development studies, with an interest in social research.
