THE CONCEPT OF „POSITIVE HERO“ IN CHINESE LITERATURE OF THE 1960s AND 1970s

Marián GÁLIK, Bratislava

The study aims to follow up the development of the concept of the so-called positive hero during the sixties and the seventies, particularly during the „Cultural Revolution“ as revealed by an analysis of the theoretical, critical and creative writings of that period.

QUELQUES REMARQUES SUR LE ROMAN VIETNAMIEN MODERNE

Ján MÚCKA, Bratislava

Cet aperçu traite des premiers efforts vers un roman moderne dans la littérature vietnamienne à une époque quand les mouvements littéraires et philosophiques externes commençaient à pénétrer au Vietnam, provoquant dans la vie littéraire de nombreux phénomènes complexes et contradictoires. En outre, l'étude fait cas des péripéties de son développment pendant les années d' avant-guerre, c' est-à-dire, au temps où le roman comme genre littéraire se stabilisait dans la littérature vietnamienne.

DIE REIFEZEIT DES PROSAISTEN NECATI TOSUNER

Xénia CELNAROVÁ, Bratislava

Im Schaffen des türkischen Prosaisten Necati Tosuner (geb. 1944) widerspiegelt sich die Krise des Denkens der jungen kleinbürgerlichen Intelligenz, die nicht imstande ist sich in der komplizierten gesellschaftlichen Situation der gegenwärtigen Türkei zurechtzufinden. Seine Erzählungen sind ein Ausdruck der tragischen Einsamkeit eines körperlich Behinderten, dem die Gesellschaft die Position eines Außenseiters aufzwingt. In der letzten Zeit wird das Streben des Schriftstellers immer markanter nach einem Durchsbrechen des engen Kreises von Themen, die durch die Gestaltung subjektiver Gefühle und Launen begrenzt sind, um sich an die Abbildung von Erscheinungen der objektiven Realität begeben zu können.

ZUR HISTORISCHEN UND GEOGRAPHISCHEN ABGRENZUNG DER SMANISCHEN BEZEICHNUNG „ORTA MACAR“ (MITTELUNGARN)

Vojtech KOPCAN, Bratislava

Der Autor analysiert die bisher erschienene Literatur, die die Frage nach dem Ursprung und der Bedeutung der osmanischen Bezeichnung Orta Macar löst und weist auf Grund weiterer osmanischer Quellen auf die Beziehungen zwischen der osmanischen Politik zum sog. Königlichen Ungarn und obiger Bezeichnung. Er beweist auch, daß die ursprüngliche Abgrenzung des Gebietes Orta Macar auf sieben ostungarische Komitate sich in der zweiten Hälfte des 17. Jahrhunderts noch vor dem Auftreten I. Thökölys auf das ganze Gebiet von Oberungarn ausgebreitet hat.

PREPARATION AND CONCLUSION OF A SEPARATE PEACE TREATY WITH JAPAN AND THE RELATED QUESTION OF REPARATIONS

Karol KUTKA, Bratislava

The present study, in conjunction with that published in AAS, XVI, 1980 The Question of Japanese Reparations after World War II and Its Development up to the Year 1949 aims to trace the United States' approach to problems dealing with a peace treaty with Japan and the inherent question of reparations. The United States of America, disregarding the preceding agreements among the Allies, the suggestions and concrete proposals of Southeast Asian countries and the Soviet Union, settled these issues in the spirit of their own military-political interests in the Far East which resulted in the fairly logical fact that the majority of the interested countries refused toaccept the peace treaty with Japan.

SOME REMARKS ON THE STUDY OF THE EARLY ANTI-COLONIAL STRUGGLE IN AFRICAN CONDITIONS

Viera PAWLIKOVÁ, Bratislava

Early anti-colonial struggle in Africa has been studied by historians coming from countries from all over the world and representing various schools of thought. This theme has been approached from different methodological and ideological standpoints and studied within different theoretical frameworks. Here I shall attempt to touch upon some theoretical approaches and summarize some main points of the Marxist argument on the study and interpretation of this theme in African conditions.

INNER POLITICAL PROBLEMS OF GOWON'S GOVERNMENT AFTER THE END OF THE CIVIL WAR IN NIGERIA

Ján VODERADSKÝ, Bratislava

This is a critical analysis of the activity of Gowon's government in the first half of the seventies. The aim of the study is to point to some of the causes of its downfall, especially from three aspects: a) failure to meet the tasks of the government programme, b) inability to cope with the growth of social problems, c) the more general deficiencies of the majority of military regimes in developing countries.

STRUCTURE MARKING IN LANGUAGE

Viktor KRUPA, Bratislava

The author discusses the manner of the existence of structure in language. Relational markers are classified into substantial and positional. The question of structure and its existence is also treated from the gnoseological point of view.

THE MOST RECENT PHENOMENA IN THE EVOLUTION OF CONTEMPORARY TAGALOG LANGUAGE AND PROGNOSIS OF ITS DEVELOPMENT

Vladimir MAKARENKO, Moscow
Jozef GENZOR, Bratislava

The study deals with the post-war development of Tagalog or Pilipino, the official language of the Republic of the Philippines, but in a succinct form also touches upon its previous evolution and that, concretely, from the first attempts at regulating the process of language development (since the mid-thirties of this century). No definitive judgment can be passed as yet on the linguistic development in the Philippines, for diverse trends are active and too many factors are involved in this process. Nevertheless, it may be safely stated that since the late fifties Tagalog, renamed Pilipino, steadily enlarges the sphere of its functioning and has better prospects in the process in question than any other language in the Republic of the Philippines.

THE CONCEPTUAL CATEGORY OF SPACE IN THE SURFACE STRUCTURE OF BENGALI

Anna RÁCOVÁ, Bratislava

The aim of this study is to find out which linguistic means are used in Bengali to manifest the universal logico-semantic category of space in the surface structure of the language.

SEMANTIC ASPECTS OF LEXICAL BORROWING IN ARABIC

Ladislav DROZDÍK, Bratislava

The present paper surveys a number of problems associated with the definition and classification of semantic borrowings in Modern Written Arabic. The proper aim of the study, however, is to create a classificatory frame which would make it possible to incorporate various types of descriptive terms, coined under the impact of foreign linguistic stimuli, in a unique body of semantic loans.
