IMAGE OF INTELLECTUALS IN CHINESE STORIES OF THE 1980s

Anna DOLEZALOVÁ, Bratislava

A survey of novelettes, stories and oral literature tends to show that present-day Chinese literature is getting rid of the deformed and simplifying image of the intelligentsia. Literary personages from the ranks of intellectuals are processed in a more realistic, more complex manner in their reactions to the harsh experience of the recent past and to the intricate social conditions of the present; psychologically, they are individualized and differentiated not only from the aspect of the generation gap, but also as regards their response to similar life and social situations. The present article focuses precisely on this aspect of the works dealt with here, without any attempt at their analysis from the point of view of their literary technique or intrinsic artistic value.

PATRIOTIC AND SOCIO-POLITICAL STIMULI IN THE FIRST CHINESE TRANSLATIONS OF LORD BYRON'S CANTO THE ISLES OF GREECE

Marián GÁLIK, Bratislava

The aim of this study is to point out the typical features of the first three Chinese translations of Byron's The Isles of Greece, and the measure of its adaptation or distortion in the new literary and social context of the contemporary China.

AT THE BEGINNING WAS SHIJING: ON THE RECEPTION OF CHINESE LITERATURE IN BOHEMIA AND SLOVAKIA (1897-1988)

Marián GÁLIK, Bratislava

This is a short outline of the literary translations from Chinese into Czech and Slovak languages beginning with Shijing (Book of Poetry) in 1897 and ending with Shen Congwen and Zhang Xinxin in the first months of 1988.

LA FORCE CRÉATRICE DE NGUYEN HONG (1918-1982)

Ján MÚCKA, BRATISLAVA

L'étude présente un aperçu complexe de l'oeuvre littéraire de Nguyen Hong, un des auteurs les plus signalés de la prose vietnamienne moderne. Mais elle relève tout particulièrement ses deux ouvrages les plus importants, à savoir La voleuse et l' époppée La porte de la mer. En outre, elle entend être aussi un hommage posthume en mémoire de l' anniversaire septuagénaire de l' écrivain.

ZWEI BEDEUTENDE WERKE DER TANZIMAT-LITERATUR

Xénia CELNAROVÁ, Bratislava

Die Grundlagen für die Romangattung in der türkischen Literatur in der Tanzimat-Epoche geschaffen, benannt nach den Reformen, welche sich im Osmanischen Reich Ende der dreißiger Jahre des 19. Jahrhunderts zu verwirklichen begannen. Die Romane Namik Kemals (1840-1888) Intibah (Das Erwachen, 1876) und Sami Pasazade Sezais (1860-1936) Sergüzest (Das Erlebnis, 1889) sind ein repräsentatives Musterbeispiel der Entwicklungstendenzen des türkischen Romans.

DIE HISTORISCHE THEMATIK IN NÂZIM HIKMETS GEDICHTEN

Xénia CELNAROVÁ, Bratislava

Der bedeutende Darsteller der neuen türkischen Literatur Nâzim Hikmet (1902-1963) schrieb im Laufe der dreißiger und vierziger Jahre einige umfangreiche Dichtungen epischen Charakters. Der Dichter bereicherte dadurch die türkische Poesie um die Gattung des Poems und bewies gleichzeitig, daß auch die Poesie fähig ist ein aus dem geschichtlichen Gesichtspunkt höchst aktuelles und ringliches Thema zu erfassen und sich des Laufes der Geschichte in ihrer Kompliziertheit zu bemächtigen.

CONCEPTUAL DISTANCE WITHIN METAPHOR

Viktor KRUPA, Bratislava

In this paper an attempt has been made at measuring the conceptual distance between the two terms of metaphor. The measurement is effected along the anthropocentric conceptual scale. The conceptual distance is, however, not relevant for the aesthetic value of a particular metaphor.

METAPHOR IN MAORI TRADITIONAL POETRY

Viktor KRUPA, Bratislava

Poetic metaphor is described here as the manifestation of supreme linguistic creatitivy. Various types of metaphors are established upon the basis of a collection of Maori traditional poetry Nga Motaetea and the role of anthropofugal versus anthropopetal metaphors in poetry is considered.

EXTRA-SYNTACTIC OPERATORS IN WORD-ORDER REGULATION

M.S.ANDRONOV, Moscow

Word-order in reality is no order of words but the order of parts of the sentence. As parts of the sentence are divided into principal and secondary, so positions they occupy within the sentence may be divided into strong and weak. The violation of correspondence between the rand of positions and that of parts of the sentence is felt as inversion. The rank of positions is largely determined by phonetic and morphological properties of the language.

ADVERBS AS A SPECIFIC PART OF SPEECH IN BENGALI

Anna RÁCOVÁ, Bratislava

The aim of this paper is to show how semantic, morphological and syntactic criteria as well as the characteristic way of formation help to single out Bengali adverbs as a specific part of speech.

DIE INNERE KLASSIFIZIERUNG DER ARABISCHEN ADJEKTIVE

Günther KRAHL, Leipzig

In dem vorliegenden Beitrag wird das Modell „Feldstruktur“ auf die innere Klassifizierung der arabischen Adjektive angewandt. Das arabische Adjektiv wird als eine eigene Wortart betrachtet, wobei derattributive und prädikative Gebrauch, die Gradationsfähigkeit und die Möglichkeit der Bildung von Antonymen als relevante Merkmale berücksichtigt werden.

EXPLICIT AND IMPLICIT ELEMENTS IN ARABIC LINGUISTIC TERMINOLOGY

Ladislav DROZDÍK, Bratislava

More than a millenary tradition of the native Arabic grammar is mirrored in a fairly tight conceptual and terminological system. Whenever this system is applied to the description of linguistic phenomena which are not directly related to the traditional subjects of Arab grammarians, it tends to deviate from the canonized model. Some of these deviations, characterized by the introduction of implicit elements to the traditional terminology of the early grammarians, will shortly be presented in what follows.

CONCERNING THE SOCIAL AND POLITICAL ESSENCE OF PRESENT-DAY MOSLEM MOVEMENTS IN THE MIDDLE EAST

Saleh M.ALIEV, Moscow

The extreme strengthening of the Islam influence in ideological and political life of Moslem countries is an important phenomenon of the eighties in the twentieth century. In social sphere the Islamic trends reflect the political aims and interests of very different, sometimes mutually conflicting strata and groups of people and their organizations. Social contents and political orientation of the numerous present-day Islamic movements produce a highly interesting problem for scientific investigation, which is the goal of the present article.

TÜRKISCHE BRIEFE UND URKUNDEN ZUR GESCHICHTE DES EYALET NOVÉ ZÁMKY. IV

Jozef BLAŠKOVIC – Vojtech KOPCAN, Prag – Bratislava

Die Autoren befassen sich in der Einleitung mit Fragen, die in publizierten Briefen am häufigsten vorkommen: 1. Mit der Frage von Gefangenen, vor allem der osmanischen, mit ihrer Freilassung oder ihrem Austausch und der Lage türkischer Gefangener in ungarischer Gefangenschaft; 2. Mit dem Handel im Grenzgebiet; 3. Mit der Doppelbesteuerung. Neben dem Brief des Statthalters Hasan Pascha veröffentlichen sie weitere drei Briefe niedrigerer Würdenträger in Nové Zámky an den Hauptkapitän der diesseits der Donau liegenden Hauptmannschaft und Palatin Paul Eszterházy aus den Jahren 1670-1682.

THE MINORITY QUESTION AND THE LAUSANNE CONVENTION OF 1923 (HISTORICAL CONTEXT AND RELIGIOUS-ETHNIC ASPECTS OF THE EXCHANGE OF GREEK AND TURKISH POPULATIONS)

Nada ZIMOVÁ, Prague

The „Convention Concerning the Exchange of Greek and Turkish Populations“ was signed at Lausanne on 30 January 1923. According to this Convention, the Greeks (Orthodox Christians) in Turkey were transferred to Greece, and the Turks (Muslims) in Greece were removed to Turkey. The only exceptions were the Greeks resident in Istanbul before 30 October 1918, and the Muslims of Western Thrace. This exchange of populations represents the historical precedent of such a gigantic transfer of minorities, and consequently, it has always drawn a great deal of attention. The study concentrates on the origins and historical background of this transfer of populations. Simultaneously, attention is devoted to its religious-ethnic character limiting the value of such a settlement of minority problems.

MUHAMMAD ALI'S ASCENDANCY TO THE EGYPTIAN THRONE

Karol SORBY, Bratislava

The study gives a thorough analysis of the political and social development in Egypt in the period from April to August 1805. It was a period of an open struggle for the viceroyalty between Khurshid Pasha the Viceroy and Muhammad Ali. The uprising of the Cairenes against Khurshid resulted in his deposition and the rise of Muhammad Ali to the viceregal throne.

THE EGYPTIAN REVOLUTION OF 1952 AND THE ARMY (SOME QUESTIONS OF THE UNIVERSAL AND THE PARTICULAR IN THE EGYPTIAN REVOLUTION)

Karol SORBY, Bratislava

The scholars trying to characterize the national liberation revolutions after World War II are naturally facing the questions of specificity of these revolutions; on the other hand it is necessary to understand these social developments in the context of the world revolutionary process. The study gives a through analysis of the political and social development in Egypt of the crucial year of 1952 and dealing with the main reasons that led to the success of the Free Officers' movement, it tries to answer some questions of the Universal and the Particular in the Egyptian Revolution.

SOCIAL STRATIFICATION OF AFRICAN SOCIETY ON THE EVE OF EUROPEAN CONQUEST

Viera PAWLIKOVÁ-VILHANOVÁ, Bratislava

The present study seeks to examine the social stratification of pre-colonial African societies in the light of the long-standing debate about their nature and with special regard to the supposed classlessness of traditional African societies. Attempts are made to touch upon some theoretical approaches to the problem of social stratification and summarize the main points of the Marxist argument on the study and interpretation of the idea of social classes and the class composition of society in African conditions.
