TRANSLATION AND WORD ORDER

Viktor KRUPA, Bratislava

The author discusses chiefly syntactic problems in translation. Linear arrangement of the sentence components is utilized for constructing a quantitative measure of typological diversity.

GRAMMATICAL CATEGORIES OF THE SUBSTANTIVE IN BENGALI

Anna RÁCOVÁ, Bratislava

Substantives or nouns are words that separately and independently of other words designate concrete and abstract phenomena of reality. Such designations are always formulated together with several grammatical categories. Bengali knows grammatical categories of case and number, and categories of definiteness and personality. The aim of the present study has been to describe the formal means and functioning as also the interrelations of the categories of the substantive in Bengali.

GRAMMATICAL, DERIVATIONAL AND LEXICAL DIMENSIONS OF TRANSITIVITY IN ARABIC

Ladislav DROZDÍK, Bratislava

The material presented here is intended to describe and illustare a variety of phenomena associated with transitivity in (Classical) Arabic. Despite the fact that transitivity is pramarily conceived as a property of the verb, minimaly extending over an actor and an undergoer, some of its manifestations are found relevant even to smaller sub-clausal segments and units of lexicon, represented by verbs or some types of verb-related nominals.

SOME REMARKS ON „LITERATURE OF THE SCARS“ IN THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA (1977-1979)

Marián GÁLIK, Bratislava

The aim of this article is to point out on the basis of the literary and comparative analysis of a few short stories the most important traits of the „literature of the scars“, one of the phenomena of Chinese literature of the late 1970s.

DEBUTS DE LA NOUVELLE PROSE VIETNAMIENNE (1945-1950)

Ján MÚCKA, Bratislava

La mission de la littérature vietnamienne naissante n'était pas de nature exclusivement littéraire, mais aussi sociale avec toutes les complexités de son époque. On y trouve le reflet d'une partie essentielle de l'expérience historique et de l'élan révolutionnaire de la nation vietnamienne. Elle contient pas mal du traditionnel, mais aussi du continu, de l'intégrant, du nouveau. Son trait caractéristique réside dans un effort pour faire prévaloir les principes réalistes et en termes extralittéraires, pour mobiliser les forces afin de préserver l'autonomie et l'indépendance nationales gagnées par le combat.

THE „MOVEMENT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ASIA“ – A PART OF THE POLITICAL BACKGROUND TO THE JAPANESE AGGRESSION IN EAST AND SOUTHEAST ASIA (1938-1945)

Zdenka VASILJEVOVÁ, Prague

The „movement for the development of Asia „ (koa undo), propagating the Japanese penetration into the countries of East and Southeast Asia, which was to be transformed in a tool of Japanese expansion in the framework of the „New Political Structure“, finally became a purely bureaucratic body, an inevitable result of the Japanese fascist rulers' fear of any political activity.

Eva SALAJKOVÁ, Bratislava

OMUKAMA KABAREGA AND THE BANYORO MILITARY RESISTANCE TO BRITISH COLONIAL ENCROACHMENT

Viera PAWLIKOVÁ, Bratislava

The military resistance of Omukama Kabarega of Bunyoro, who between 1891and 1899 fought the British invaders with remarkable tenacity and military skill, seems to be one of the classical cases of African military resistance to the imposition of colonial rule. This study attempts to document the legacy of long anti-colonial struggle in the kingdom of Bunyoro-Kitara and to analyse the changing patterns of resistance as well as the role in it of traditional political leadership.

Ján VODERADSKÝ, Bratislava

Chronologically this work takes contact with the author's paper Inner Political Problems of Gowon's Governmetn after the End of the Civil War in Nigeria, published in the preceding issue of this annual.
