No full textÜber die Nähe zu den Dingen : Versuch einer Annäherung an den Begriff der Nähe bei Martin Heidegger
No full textV otázce po blízkosti jde o to, abychom porozuměli sami sobě. Přitom si můžeme všimnout, že blízkost zakoušíme ve zvláštním vztahu k dálce, dokonce se blízkost sama zdá být jistým způsobem blízká a přece vzdálená. Dalo by se mluvit o skrytosti blízkosti a blízkosti skrytosti: Blízkost neexistuje. Ovšem kdyby žádná blízkost nebyla, nemohli bychom se navzájem milovat, ani bychom nemohli zemřít. Co ale je blízkost? Ačkoliv umožňuje vztah k věcem, je spíše přítomna v odstupu a odtažitosti. Avšak tato odtažitost je taková, že nás táhne, v jejím tahu existujeme. V jejím tahu existujeme tak, že nejsme jednoduše k dispozici, nýbrž ek-sistujeme, v a z otevřenosti našeho pobytu můžeme být vždy sami sebou.In der Frage nach Nähe geht es darum, uns selbst zu verstehen. Dabei kann uns auffallen, dass wir Nähe in einem eigentümlichen Verhältnis zur Ferne erfahren, ja Nähe selbst scheint in einer gewissen Weise nahe und doch fern zu sein. Man könnte von der Verborgenheit der Nähe und der Nähe der Verborgenheit sprechen: Nähe gibt es nicht. Aber gäbe "es" keine Nähe, wir könnten einander weder lieben noch könnten wir sterben. Was aber ist Nähe? Obwohl sie den Bezug zu den Dingen ermöglicht, ist sie eher im Entzug da. Aber dieser Ent-Zug ist einer, der uns zieht, in dessen Zug wir existieren. In seinem Zug existieren wir so, dass wir nicht einfach vorhanden sind, sondern ek-sistieren, in und aus dem Offenen unseres Daseins je wir selber sein können
Knez Mačve Bela - "Rjurikovič" pretendent na Ugarski presto?
No full textBéla Rostislavich was the son of Prince of Galicia Rostislav Mikhailovich and Princess Anna, the daughter of Hungarian King Béla IV. Through his parents, he inherited the title of ruler of Mačva and (northern) Bosnia, territories located on the southern Hungarian–Balkan border. Owing to his influential mother, Anna, at the royal court and his sister Kunigunda, who became Queen of Bohemia as the wife of Přemysl Otakar II, he played a significant political role in Hungary and Hungarian–Bohemian relations from the mid–1260s until his tragic death in November 1272. Only one contemporary source, the author of the Continuatio Lambacensis chronicle, explicitly states that following the death of Hungarian King Stephen V, Béla attempted to usurp the throne (from the underage Ladislaus IV) and was consequently tragically killed by the Hungarians. In this study we examine various historiographical interpretations of whether Béla was indeed a candidate for the Hungarian throne backed by his relative, the Czech King Přemysl Otakar II, or if he fell victim to rumors, conspiracies and political struggles at the Hungarian royal court. This discussion raises another key question, which the paper explores: was the Prince of Mačva one of the few representatives of the Russian ruling dynasty who secretly emerged as a pretender to the Crown of Saint Stephen? From the perspective of identity, Béla was indeed a "Rurik" by descent, but his life circumstances positioned him primarily as a prominent member of the Hungarian royal family. This latter fact ultimately cost him his life
A suppletion-pattern gap in 'tripartite' tense-aspect systems
No full textThe present paper identifies a new gap in tense-aspect suppletion patterns in Indo-European 'tripartite' tense-aspect systems: For any triple of present-imperfect-aorist forms, the present and aorist forms never share the same base to the exclusion of the imperfect form. I explore the analysability of the relevant gap as a 'containment-and-competition' gap, i.e. in terms of Bobaljik's (2012) *ABA, or, alternatively, as a 'structure-and-locality' gap, i.e. in terms of Bobaljik's *AAB. I argue that, though the present-imperfect-aorist triple does not plausibly meet the morphosyntactic eligibility criteria for the former type of analysis, it does for the latter, once we allow for a specific kind of structural variation across tripartite tense-aspect systems. These conclusions suggest that there are domains in which 'structure-and-locality' gaps arise in the absence of 'containment-and-competition' gaps
Use it or lose it : secondary imperfectivizers in Slovenian deverbal nominalizations
No full textThe empirical focus of this paper is a subtype of deverbal lec-nominalizations, specifically those in which various secondary imperfectivizing suffixes are replaced by the default suffix -ov-. This adjustment results in deverbal nominalizations with bases not attested in actual verbal forms. The adjustment of the secondary imperfectivizer, while consistently resulting in the introduction of -ov-, applies irregularly, i.e. to a subset of lec-nominalizations. Furthermore, with some bases, both the adjusted and unadjusted versions are possible, and in an even smaller subset of cases there is also a third form, which encompasses elements of both versions. In order to understand the optional adjustment of the secondary imperfectivizer, we examine the broader role of aspect and aspect morphology in lec-nominalizations. Based on quantitative data and the available candidates for aspectual pairs of lec-nominalizations, we observe that aspect is not actively included in the interpretation of lec-nominalizations and that apparent aspectual pairs show divergent lexicalizations or total synonymy. We argue that the optional loss of distinction between different secondary imperfectivizers is due to the fact that the relevant morpheme remains on the surface but does not get interpreted. This in turn leads to a loss of allomorphic conditioning, which results in the emergence of the default exponence
The role of personality and depression in problematic use of social networking sites in Greece
No full textThe purpose of the present study is to examine the relationship of Social Networking Site (SNS) problematic usage with personality characteristics and depressive symptomatology. A sample of 143 young adults in Greece varying from 18 to 34 years of age completed four questionnaires on personality characteristics, depressive symptomatology, problematic SNS usage and socio-demographic factors. Problematic SNS usage is significantly and positively related to depression and Neuroticism, while negatively associated with Agreeableness. However, problematic use of SNS is not related to Conscientiousness, Openness to Experience and Extraversion, although the latter was found to be negatively associated with depression. Collectively, personality variables, depression and daily average usage account for about 33% of the variance in predicting problematic SNS usage. In contrast to previous research findings, age and gender are not found to be related to either problematic SNS usage or depressive symptomatology. However, place of residence is associated with Neuroticism and Problematic Use, with participants from rural areas exhibiting higher scores than participants from urban areas. Finally, Neuroticism and the average daily use of SNS have been proven to be good predictors of problematic SNS usage. Personality, depressive symptomatology and socio-demographic factors relate to the way Social Networking Sites are being used. Implications are discussed
