STUDIES IN MODERN CHINESE INTELLECTUAL HISTORY: I. THE WORLD AND CHINA: CULTURAL IMPACT AND RESPONSE IN THE 20TH CENTURY

Marián GÁLIK, Bratislava

The problem of impact-response in modern Chinese intellectual history is discussed here within the scope of a systemo-structural approach to reality. Three important branches of intellectual history are analysed more carefully: literature, philosophy (and kindred disciplines) and scientism. The first part is meant to be a short introduction with relevant bibliographical data, the second deals with the application of a systemo-structural analysis to the most important fields of modern Chinese intellectual history.

DER ROMAN TZU-YEH VON MAO TUN – EIN BEDEUTENDES REALISTISCHES WERK DER NEUEN CHINESISCHEN LITERATUR

Fritz GRUNER, Berlin

Mao Tun (geb. 1896) gehört zu den hervorragenden realistischen Schriftstellern der neuen chinesischen Literatur. Zu seinen besten erzählerischen Werken gehört der Roman Tzu-yeh, ein grossartig angelegtes zeitgenössisches literarisches Gemälde Schanghais und seiner veschiedenen Gesellschaftskreise. Dieser Roman, der einen Meilenstein in der Entwicklung des Realismus in der chinesischen Literatur darstellt, ist ein Meisterwerk, das in seiner Art bis heute einzig in der neuen chinesischen Literatur dasteht.

DIE THEMATISCHEN UND KOMPOSITIONELLEN MERKMALE DER LETZTEN ERZÄHLUNGEN ORHAN KEMALS

Xénia CELNAROVÁ, Bratislava

Orhan Kemal (1914-1970) gehört zu den führenden Darstellern der türkischen Nachkriegsprosa. Das Genre der Erzählungen bildet einen bedeutenden Bestandteil seines Schaffens. Die Analyse der letzten Sammlung seiner Erzählungen lenkt ihre Aufmerksamkeit hauptsächlich auf die Art der Charakterisierung der Gestalten und auf die damit zusammenhängende Funktion des Erzählers in den eizelnen Erzählungen.

NGUYEN CONG HOAN ET SON ROMAN «LE DERNIER PAS»

Ján MÚCKA, Bratislava

L'article n'a pas pour but de traiter des divers aspects du roman vietnamien moderne. Un bref aperçu sur son histoire en général et des notes sur l'époque principale aident à situer l'œuvre de Nguyen Cong Hoan. Des suggestions pratiques sont données pour l'analyse artistiques des œuvres de la littérature vietnamienne. Cette étude est l'une des premières en notre pays sur la littérature vietnamienne contemporaine et présente une analyse relativement complète du roman Le dernier past.

SOME REMARKS ON THE CATEGORY OF RELATION IN SPEECH ACTIVITY

Viktor KRUPA, Bratislava

No adequate theory of language has been constructed so far. The sign theory became a forerunner of thesystematic approach. One of the basic notions of the theory of systems is that of relation which is both an ontological and gnoseological category. Various types of relations are discussed by the author in his article, especially those operating at the level of performance.

DIE SPRACHLICHE STELLUNG DER BERTI-(SIGA) SPRACHE IN DAR FUR (SUDAN)

Karel PETRÁCEK, Prag

Die Analyse der betreffenden Sprachpläne der Berti-Sprache im Sudan (Dar Fu) zeigt, dass diese Sprache zu den zentralsaharanischen Sprachen gehört. Die Stellung des Berti in der genannten Sprachgruppe selbst wird nicht näher erforscht, es zeigt sich jedoch klar, dass es sich um eine selbständige Sprache und nicht um ein Dialekt einer anderen Sprache (wie z.B. des Zaghawa) handelt.

INFLECTIONAL BACKGROUND OF THE ARABIC NISBA DERIVATION

Ladislav DROZDÍK, Bratislava

The Arabic nisba derivation involves a number of inflectional problems most of which are quite unique in the Arabic word-formation. Some of them are discussed in the present paper. The most immediate attention is paid to the identification of the derivational basis of nisba adjectives when the latter coincides with inflected nominal forms and, quite particularly, to the singular – plural variation frequently taking place in the nisba derivation.

ON THE USE OF PROGRESSIVE PARTICIPLE WITH SYNSEMANTIC VERBS IN BENGALI

Anna RÁCOVÁ, Bratislava

The progressive participle is a very frequent infinite verbal form in the Bengali language. It usually appears at the end of a subordinated clause expressing two actions in sequence. But very often it occurs also in combinations with various synsemantic verbs. The aim of this paper is to analyse the latter instance of the progressive participle use, i.e. the syntagms consisting of the progressive participle and a synsemantic verb having some modal or phase meaning.

BEMERKUNGEN ZUR BENUTZUNG DER EUROPÄISCHEN QUELLEN IN DER OSMANISCHEN GESCHICHTSSCHREIBUNG

Vojtech KOPCAN, Bratislava

Der Artikel bringt einen Beweis über die Benutzung einer Nachricht angeführt in einer zeitgenössischen deutschen Flugschrift, benannt „Aussag eines Frantzösischen Renegatens“ im osmanischen historischen Werk Hasan Aga's Cavahir el-tevarih (Edelsteine der Geschichte).

RESISTERS AND COLLABORATORS: TWO CASES FROM UGANDA

Viera E. PAWLIKOVÁ, Bratislava

This study attempts to summarize the main points of an argument on the theme of African reactions and responses to the imposition of colonial rule illustrating them by instances from two East African kingdoms of Bunyoro and Buganda. It proves that the nature of African reactions to European conquest depended on variables on both sides of the Afro-European relationship – on European intentions as well as on African statecraft.

MONARCHIES WITHIN REPUBLICS: EARLY VOLTAIC STATES IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY

Peter SKALNÍK, Bratislava

The aim of the present essays is to revaluate the relationship between two early Voltaic kingdoms (Wagadugu and Dagomba), and the colonial and post-colonial political systems in the Upper Volta and Ghana. The analysis is a combination of historical and social anthropological approach. The author comes to a conclusion that the specific combination of traditional and modern features in these monarchies permitted them not only to survive but also to influence to a certain extent the political and social development of colonial and independent regimes. Traditional institutions and leaders remain tobe an important factor in rural Africa of today.
