Full text linkThe years following World War One belonged to a crisis period when political extremities strengthened throughout Europe. In Hungary, it was also the peak of the radical right wing, and some radical political circles even planned coups d’état against the conservative government that was working on the political consolidation of Hungary. A group of radical right-wing politicians led by Member of the Parliament Ferenc Ulain who had been in confidential contact with German radical right-wing movements and politicians (Adolf Hitler and General Erich Ludendorff among them) decided to execute a takeover attempt in 1923, with the help of Bavarian paramilitary movements, harmonizing their plans with the Munich Beer Hall Putsch being in preparation.

ROHINTON MISTRY AS A DIASPORIC AUTHOR
Full text linkThe writings of the Indian Diaspora have received a great deal of attention and critical acclaim throughout the world. Rohinton Mistry is a well renowned author in the contemporary commonwealth literature and occupies a significant place among the writers of Indian Diaspora. Even though he is settled in Canada; it is his upbringing in Mumbai that reflects in all his writings. The distinct Mumbai culture, particularly the Parsee way of life, the people of the city and even the politics of India are major themes in his novels. Rohinton Mistry as a writer of Diaspora has carved a niche for himself. His works such as: “Tales from Firozsha Baag”, “Such A Long Journey”, “A Fine Balance” and “Family Matters”; mark a new kind of writing, resulting from a fragmented, splintered world. As a Diasporic Parsi writer, very sensitively he has recalled his community’s journey through time and history with a sense of loss and nostalgia. His books portray diverse facets of Indian socioeconomic life; as well as Parsi Zoroastrian life, customs, and religion. Many of his writings are markedly “Indo-nostalgic”. Rohinton Mistry through his Diasporic discourse has well depicted his ancestral background, his community’s engaged situation in a metropolis like Bombay and his deep attachment with and nostalgia for a world gone by. In this paper an attempt has been made to delineate diasporic discourse in the works of Rohinton Mistry. Although he is obsessed with the colonial and postcolonial experiences in India, we can find some traces of Canada in his literature. His characters dream of being integrated into, and accepted by, Canadian society on the one hand and on the other hand, these same characters are torn by an insatiable desire to be true to their native culture; to honor and cherish their own, distinct cultural identity.Keywords: Diaspora, Cultural identity, Contemporary Canadian literature, Parsi

QUANTITATIVE APPROACH TO ADJECTIVES IN THE NOVEL “THE GREAT GATSBY”
Full text linkIn this paper I attempt to examine the adjectives that are used in The Great Gatsby, a novel by Francis Scott Fitzgerald. This paper analyses adjectives in morphological context and syntactic context. The findings and results indicate the total number of adjectives, the percentage of the most frequent adjectives used in the novel, types of adjectives in morphological aspect, the position of adjectives (attributive and predicative), and adjectives with and without an adverb as a pre-modifier. Firstly, the total number of adjectives which is 2.701, 950 adjectives are of its own type and appear at least once and other 1751 adjectives appear from twice to 80 times in the The Great Gatsby. Secondly, from the total of 950 types of adjectives in the novel there are 410 adjectives that are repeated more than twice and 540 appear once. Then, the most frequent adjective which is used 80 times in the novel is the adjective old following: old young – 45 times, little – 38 times , white - 36 times, small – 33 times, and good -31 times. Moreover, from the morphological aspect, out of the total of 950 adjectives, the largest type of adjectives are with suffixes, on the other hand from the syntactic aspect 2060 are attributive adjectives and 641 are predicative from the total of 2701 adjectives used in the novel. Finally, out of total number of adjectives (2701), 174 have an adverb as a pre-head modifier, while 2527 and 94% does not have an adverb as a pre modifier. To sum up, based on the results, I can conclude that F. Scott Fitzgerald used rich language in terms of modifying things, places, events, people and so on in The Great Gatsby.Keywords: adjectives, The Great Gatsby, frequency, morphology, syntax

Full text linkWhether to use or not new technology inside the classroom has always been discussed for various reasons. Nowadays, technology is becoming an integral part of everybody's life (Hongling & Zhang, 2012). Considering the benefits that the use of new technologies could provide to people, especially those for learning English, research on this topic has been deemed worthwhile. Having in mind the counter-arguments, the present paper aims to investigate the advantage of using new technology in a class, and most importantly, how to use it and promote learning, advantages and disadvantages of using new technology in the classroom, how to encourage students to use IT appropriately, and exploring some of the best ways to teach and learn English language (Hermans et al. 2008).Keywords: New technology, learning English, classroom, teachers, advantages and disadvantages
RELICTS AND VARIATION AT THE MORPHOLOGICAL LEVEL OF THE UZBEK LANGUAGE
Full text linkThe article deal with the problems of morpheme structure of the Uzbek language which has many complexities, with examples of the preservation of relict remains in suffixes. The study of languages in a comparative-historical aspect is one way of determining the right state of written monuments or modern living languages. It is in the process of this comparison that the ancient features of language are preserved in modern language, this linguistic remnant called as linguistic relics.It also highlights the variation of morphorelective units and the linguistic phenomena that give rise to them, the ability of word-forming morphological units to form words that inherited from the ancient Turkic language as well as the development of languages continues in a way that absorbs their most ancient states in one way or another.Characteristically, the modern form of language provides information not only about its current state, but also about its ancient features. On this issue, it is appropriate to divide the development of a language into high-synchronous and low-diachronic stages. At the upper, i.e., synchronous stage, a certain boundary really emerges only when approached based on the earlier characteristics of the language. Only when these two stages relate to each other in a consistent manner will it be possible to find solutions to the problematic situations in its modern state.The principle of examining certain aspects of the modern form of language by linking it with its historical manifestations becomes the basis for determining a reliable diachronic foundation of language, the past and future of language cannot be studied separately. It is not up to the learner to decide. Hence, determining the synchronous structure of a language through its long past is the basis of dialectical cognition.Uzbek is one of the oldest Turkic languages. It has gone through several stages of development on a regular basis as a living language to this day. No matter how much language develops, no matter how far it goes from its origin, it retains some of its oldest features, which may have partially or completely changed its appearance, but still retains historical-primitive-relicts.The article highlights the morphological relicts preserved in the Uzbek language, their variation to the modern Uzbek literary language, the idea that the solution of existing problems at its level can be solved in relictolinguistic analysis.Keywords: relict, etymology, variant, synharmonism, correlation, historical, non-productive, word-builder, productive suffix, turkology, formal shaping, word, suffix, plural suffixes
FEMALE POWER IN AMITAV GHOSH’S "THE SHADOW LINES" AND HASAN AZIZUL HUQ’S "AGUNPAKHI": A COMPARATIVE STUDY
Full text linkThis study aims to foster Hasan Azizul Huq’s and Amitav Ghosh’s treatment of 20th-century feminism in the Indian Subcontinent. Both Huq and Ghosh have occupied a remarkable place in the history of Bengali and English literature, respectively due to the portrayal of women characters. This study would like to examine the novelists’ treatment of feminism in the light of comparative literature. It aims to focus on the powerful female characters, like an anonymous central female character, Tha’mma and Ila of the novels, like Huq’s Agunpahki and Ghosh’ The Shadow Lines, where they are very much devoted to grasping the pure and perfect love and adoration of motherland; even they never hesitate to sacrifice their lives for the greater welfare of the nation and the state. Both Huq and Ghosh want to reflect the role played by women in the patriarchal system and order through stamping female experience in the patriarchal system and order. The fictional portrayal of women has truly realized that patriotism is a noble virtue. Ghosh and Huq have presented the real struggle of women with different social status, portraying an ideal society of dreamers, social workers, traditionalists and economists working together. They would like to immortalize themselves through love and self-sacrifice. Though the homeland is divided into the two separate states, women are adamant to stay at home and family, who have no any sort of fear and hesitation to fight against the enemy. So, both Huq and Ghosh have portrayed such adventurous women as the glaring examples of perfect love and beauty. For this purpose, the study attempts to look at the theoretical investigation of female power made by literary critics and scholars, comparatively.Keywords: Agunpahki, The Shadow Lines, Ghosh, Huq, Ila, and Tha’mma, and Anonymous Woman
LATEST DEVELOPMENT OF THE ART OF BAKHSHI IN UZBEKISTAN
Full text linkThis article discusses the latest developments in the art of bakhshi (bakhshi is a folk singer, performer of folklore among the Turkic peoples of Central Asia, usually performs at holidays). It is also said that the parishioners in Khorezm were a form of shamanism, and that shamanism was one of the earliest stages in the formation of the art of bakhshi. In particular, the article emphasizes that in the research of A.N.Samoylovich Khorezmbakhsh is sang book epics, played dutar, bulamon, and noted that the XIX and early XX centuries were the most prosperous period of Khorezmbaxshi art. In Khorezm, the words shaman, ozon, bakhshi were used, and now the term bakhshi is widely used. The deification of the personality of the benefactor is due to the fact that they have a high memory and possess a word, a word. There is an opinion that the singing of epics to the accompaniment of drums by these professionals is associated with the X-XI centuries. This phenomenon may also be much older. The paintings in the “Harper’s Woman’s Room” in the ancient Khorezm fortresses may be the basis for this. The first historical figure in Khorezm (1115-1191) was Oshiq Aydin (Oshugiddin Umar Suhravardi), who is still the patron saint of baxshis. His personality is also deified. According to historical sources, Ashiq Aydin was a master of words and phrases and also a statesman. A pamphlet on music is also finished. Considering that he lived during the reign of Khorezmshahs, it is possible to understand that in those times there was a developed period of the art of baxshi. After the love affair, Aydin is the father of the ozone, shaman, and bakhshi Korkut, who became famous in the Turkic world. It is said that the XIX and early XX centuries were the most prosperous period of Khorezmbaxshi art.Keywords: bakhshi, epos, folklore, folk, poetry, Khorezm, Uzbek, song, kobiz, dutar

THE ROLE OF FORENSIC LINGUISTICS IN CRIME INVESTIGATION: USES IN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Full text linkThis paper considers the extent to which forensic linguistics can be considered a science, and outlines some ways in which it is useful in legal proceedings, including voice identification, the interpretation of police-suspect interaction, verification of police reports, and cross-cultural insights into speech patterns in a courtroom context. On the basis of the analysis, the paper concludes that Forensic linguistics can prove beneficial for the investigation of crimes, analysis of the judicial procedures, and particularly disputes in law. It can also be used for the analysis of courtroom discourse and interpret and translate the legal documents for their readability and comprehensibility. Moreover, the police cautions issued to the suspects can also be analyzed for their comprehensibility and the authorship attribution can be established for written or spoken texts. It, therefore, works as the interface between language, crime, and the law.Keywords: forensic linguistics, authorship detection, authorship attribution, voice identification, forensic text types, etc
