ГОВОРНИОТ ЧИН ИЗВИНУВАЊЕ ВО МАКЕДОНСКИОТ ЈАЗИК
No full textThis paper examines the most commonly used strategies and substrategies for apology among the young population in North Macedonia, with the aim to identify similarities and differences in relation to the use of these strategies and substrategies among the adult population. The sample consists of 50 speech acts of apology collected from people aged 21 to 31 years, which represents a kind of corpus. To collect data, a survey with open-ended questions was used, and the analysis relies on a comparison with the results from previous research, qualitative content analysis based on coding, and the interpretative-inductive method.
The results show that young people use the same strategies and substrategies as adults. Futhermore, they use more direct strategies, especially the strategy of taking responsibility and its substrategies of explanation and lack of intention. Furthermore, the results confirm that, within this strategy, young speakers do not use the substrategy of ‘the interlocutor is right’ and expressions of embarrassment, at all. The results also show that, in relation to the direct strategy of expressions of apology, young speakers mostly use the substrategies of asking for forgiveness, offering an apology, and expressing regret. The substrategies of foreign words, mitigating factors, and expressions of reconciliation are not observed. Indirect strategies, on the other hand, are used much less frequently than direct ones. Of these, young speakers use the strategy of offering compensation or correcting the error, the most.Овој труд ги испитува најчестоупотребуваните стратегии и потстратегии за извинување кај младата популација во Република Северна Македонија, а целта е да се согледаат сличностите и разликите, во однос на употребата на овие стратегии и потсратегии кај возрасната популација. Примерокот го сочинуваат 50 говорни чинови за извинување, собрани од лица на возраст од 21 до 31 година, што претставува еден вид корпус. За собирање на податоците се користи анкета со прашања од отворен тип, а анализата се потпира на споредбата со резултатите од претходни истражувања, квалитативната анализа на содржината, во чија основа е кодирањето и интерпретативниот индуктивен метод.
Резултатите покажуваат дека младите лица употребуваат исти стратегии и потстратегии како и возрасните. Значи, тие повеќе ги употребуваат директните стратегии, а особено стратегијата преземање одговорност, односно нејзините потстратегии објаснување и немање намера. Понатаму, резултатите потврдуваат дека, во рамките на оваа стратегија, младите говорители воопшто не ги употребуваат потстратегиите: соговорникот е во право и изразите на засраменост. Од резултатите се гледа и дека, во однос на директната стратегија изрази за извинување, младите говорители најмногу ги користат потстратегиите: молба за простување, понудено извинување и искажување жалење. Потстратегиите: странски зборови, ублажувачи и изрази за помирување не се забележани. Индиректните стратегии, пак, во однос на директните, многу поретко се користат. Од нив, младите говорители, најмногу ја употребуваат стратегијата понуда за надомест или поправка на грешката
THE MACEDONIAN QUESTION IN THE FOCUS OF THE RUSSIAN EXPEDITION - "MACEDONIA 1900"
No full textThe aforementioned work provides a review of the Macedonian question in relation to the Russian "Macedonian Expedition", led by the academician N.P. Kondakov, its journey through Macedonia in the run-up to the Ilinden Uprising, the divisions and insights that emerged from it, which had a profound impact on the events in the Balkans in the period during and after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.
The subject of analysis is the correspondence and insights of the members of this scientific expedition, including the linguist and Slavist P. A. Lavrov and the historian P.N. Miljukov, related to the geopolitical situation on the Balkan Peninsula and the position of the Macedonian population in that period. This expedition is also significant because of the meeting of Krste P. Misirkov with P.A. Lavrov, who would later become his mentor and supporter in his research on Macedonian dialects, language, identity and culture.
In addition to the paper, there is a selection of photo materials from this expedition, part of the archival collection of the Institute of Folklore "Marko Cepenkov" - Skopje, which speak of the exceptional significance that this scientific expedition has in historiographical, Byzantine, Slavic, Macedonian, archaeological and linguistic research, as well as for the historical continuity of the "Ohrid Archbishopric" and its sacral relics.Посочениот труд дава осврт на македонското прашање во однос на руската „Македонска експедиција“, предводена од академик Н. П. Кондаков, нејзиното патешествие низ Македонија во предворјето на Илинденското востание, поделбите и согледувањата што произлегле од неа, а кои имале длабок импакт во случувањата на Балканот во периодот за време и по распадот на Отоманската Империја.
Предмет на анализа се преписките и согледувањата на членовите на оваа научна експедиција, меѓу кои се лингвистот и славистот П. А. Лавров и историчарот П.Н. Миљуков, поврзани со геополитичката состојба на Балканскиот Полуостров и положбата на македонското население во тој период. Оваа експедиција истовремено е значајна и поради средбата на Крсте П. Мисирков со П. А. Лавров, кој подоцна ќе стане негов ментор и подржувач во неговите истражувања за макдонските говори, јазик, идентитет и култура.
Во прилог на трудот се дава избор на фотоматеријали од оваа експедиција, дел од архивската збирка на Институтот за фолклор „Марко Цепенков“ – Скопје, во кои се зборува за исклучителното значење што ја има оваа научна експедиција во: историографските, византолошките, славистичките, македонистичките, археолошките и лигвистичките истражувања, како и за историскиот контиуум на Охридската архепископија и на нејзините сакрални реликти
OBRAZ, RZEŹBA, WIERSZ: VERMEER I BRÂNCUŞI W POETYCKICH EKFRAZACH MILCZENIA U WOJCIECHA WENCLA I GRIGORE VIERU
No full textAssociative thinking, which transforms the abstract into the “visible,” emerges in both Johannes Vermeer’s paintings and Constantin Brâncuși’s sculptures. Within the oeuvre of these two globally renowned artists – working almost three centuries apart and across different artistic media – a dialectic arises between the visible and the hidden, presence and absence, requiring efforts in codifying and deciphering meaning. Polish poets such as Wisława Szymborska, Adam Zagajewski, and Wojciech Wencel have shown remarkable sensitivity to this internal tension, sustained through contrasting elements and attitudes permeating Vermeer’s paintings. Similarly, Brâncuși’s sculpture has inspired lyrical reflections on the “leap into eternity,” rooted in cultural experiences of artistic forms such as gestural painting and sculpture, among Romanian poets Ion Vinea, Lucian Blaga, Grigore Vieru, and Ana Blandiana. The most visible and suggestive tension, however, appears between silence and speech, quietude and language – analogous to the dialectics of non-being and existence. Vieru employs a poetics of silent discretion and contemplative simplicity, marked by nuances of expectation and profound absence, echoing Brâncuși’s sculpture The Table of Silence, explicitly referenced in the ekphrasis entitled Brâncuși. In the Romanian sculptor’s work, silence is not passive; during its repose, it alters and inverts the world, inviting focused reflection. Around the empty table with its vacant chairs, words fall silent, allowing silence to acquire meaning and become profoundly suggestive. Thus emerges a space for what Romanian Orthodox priest George Remete describes as “silence-strength, silence-spirit, silence-idea.” Conversely, silence in Vermeer’s work is dynamic and vibrant; it is accompanied by movement, non-verbal emotions, turmoil of soul and mind, and luminous contemplation.Myślenie asocjacyjne, przekształcające to, co abstrakcyjne w to, co „widzialne”, pojawia się zarówno w obrazach Johannesa Vermeera, jak i w rzeźbach Constantina Brâncușiego. W twórczości tych dwóch światowej sławy artystów – tworzących w odstępie prawie trzech wieków od siebie i w różnych dziedzinach sztuki – ujawnia się pewna dialektyka widzialnego i ukrytego, obecności i nieobecności, wymagająca wysiłku kodyfikacji i rozszyfrowania znaczeń. Polscy poeci, tacy jak Wisława Szymborska, Adam Zagajewski, Wojciech Wencel okazali się niezwykle wrażliwi na to wewnętrzne napięcie, podtrzymywane przez kontrastujące elementy i postawy, które przenika malarstwo Vermeera. Podobnie rzeźba Brâncușiego inspirowała liryczne refleksje nad „skokiem w wieczność” mającym swe źródło w kulturowych aktach doświadczenia sztuki – takich jak malarstwo „gestualne” czy rzeźba – u rumuńskich poetów Iona Vinea, Luciana Blagi, Grigore Vieru, Any Blandiany. Jednak najbardziej widoczne i dotknięte siłą sugestii jest napięcie między ciszą a słowem, milczeniem a mową, analogiczne do dialektyki niebytu i istnienia. Vieru posługuje się poetyką niemej dyskrecji i kontemplacyjnej prostoty, w której pojawiają się niuanse oczekiwania i wielkiej nieobecności, podobnie jak w rzeźbie Stół milczenia, która znalazła odzwierciedlenie w ekfrazie pt. Brâncuși. U rumuńskiego rzeźbiarza cisza odpoczywa, lecz nie w sposób przypadkowy. W swoim spoczynku zmienia i odwraca świat, zaprasza do skupionej refleksji. Wokół pustego stołu z pustymi krzesłami słowo milknie, a milczenie nabiera znaczenia i staje się niezwykle sugestywne. Robi się więc miejsce dla tego, co rumuński prawosławny ksiądz George Remete nazywa „milczeniem-siłą, milczeniem-duchem, milczeniem-ideą”. Z kolei cisza u Vermeera jest dynamiczna i wibrująca; towarzyszy jej ruch, niewerbalne emocje, wzburzenie duszy i umysłu oraz świetlista kontemplacja
THE FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS AND RIGHTS OF THE INDIVIDUAL AND THE CITIZENS RECOGNIZED BY THE INTERNATIONAL LAW AND DETERMINED BY THE CONSTITUTION, THROUGH THE PRISM OF THE COMPLEX RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT AND THE REGULAR COURTS : DILEMMAS OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL JUDGES
Full text linkThis paper examines the competence of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of North Macedonia to annul judgments rendered by regular courts, with a focus on the dilemmas arising from this competence and the varying constitutional court orders issued over several years. Considering that the Constitution grants the Constitutional Court the authority to independently regulate its work through an Act adopted by the Court itself, the issue discussed in this paper represents a highly significant constitutional and legal matter. It has profound implications for the functioning of the Constitutional Court, the relationship between the Constitutional Court and regular courts, and the overall coherence of the legal order. The paper analyzes previous constitutional court practices in this area, offers a critical evaluation of these practices, and proposes an approach that reinforces the constitutionally established role of the Constitutional Court as the guardian of the Constitution and the protector of rights and freedoms within its jurisdiction
THE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT OF THE REPUBLIC OF NORTH MACEDONIA AND THE JUDGMENTS OF THE REGULAR COURTS
Full text linkThe subject of this paper is one of the primary tasks of constitutional courts: to ensure that human rights guaranteed by the constitution are respected and implemented in everyday life. This is achieved by adhering to two critical aspects of the process of resolving disputes related to fundamental rights: determining whether a rights violation has occurred and deciding on appropriate measures for restoring or compensating for the violated rights. To strengthen this role of constitutional courts, it is recommended to introduce the possibility of annulling unconstitutional judicial decisions. The constitutional court should have the authority to nullify court decisions that conflict with the constitution, thereby providing greater protection of fundamental human rights. This text focuses on the two critical aspects of proceedings before constitutional courts, as well as the need to introduce a mechanism for the annulment of unconstitutional court decisions. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to examine the legal concept of introducing the possibility of annulling unconstitutional judicial decisions and analyze its significance for legal certainty and the protection of human rights. Additionally, an analysis will be conducted on the situation in the Republic of North Macedonia, with a particular focus on existing mechanisms for human rights protection and opportunities for enhancing constitutional oversight over judicial decisions
CONTEMPORARY REFLECTIONS ON THE INTERSECTIONS OF POLITICS, CORRUPTION AND SPORTS
Full text linkThis paper aims to present the negative impacts of politics and corruption onsports as a social phenomenon, which, due to such malign influences, is increasingly movingaway from its original humanistic concept. The impact of politics and corruption is drivingsports towards dehumanisation and national, religious, and racial discrimination of all itsparticipants. Sports have become a battleground for power struggles between superpowersand small states, with nationalism and xenophobia imposing characteristics that contradictthe very essence of sports.Today, sports are a crucial aspect of the ideological operations of systems that use sportsto solve certain problems or as a mobilising force to support the system. Often, sports aretreated as a means of achieving the basic ideological goals of society or the government.Sports have become an ideological tool to deceive the masses and maintain the control ofthe ruling powers. The integration of politics, sports, and power allows sports to be turnedinto entertainment for the masses, and under the motto “bread and circuses,” the people areturned into an audience, a crowd, which, through repressive behaviour control, absorbs socialdiscontent arising from the marginal social position of certain groups.Sports are suitable for influencing the masses, especially the youth, and for affirming variouspolitical ideologies and social anomalies and irregularities. Therefore, corruption, a negativephenomenon that has not spared sports despite its initially noble assumptions, is not new. Inone form or another, it has always existed. Corruption appears in various forms throughoutsports, undermining honesty, fair play, and trust in the game. The increasing amounts ofmoney inherent in sports make this industry susceptible to corruption, while the participantsbecome addicted to power, elitism, and betting
АКЦЕНТОТ НА ЗБОРОТ КАКО БАЛКАНСКА КАРАКТЕРИСТИКА
Full text linkThe article examines two phonetic phenomena in the Balkan dialects of Macedonia: the restriction of accent placement to the last three syllables and double accentuation. These phenomena are characteristic of the Macedonian-Albanian-Greek area at the center of the Balkan Sprachbund. The author disagrees with the widely accepted thesis in Balkan literature that the western and central Macedonian dialects share a common accentual system with the Greek, Aromanian, and Albanian dialects in this region. The article presents arguments that challenge previous views on the central Balkan nature of the restriction of accent placement to the last three syllables. The author argues that this phenomenon does not merit special attention, as it represents a universal tendency driven by natural linguistic preferences. Regarding double accentuation, the author identifies a specific type of this phenomenon that may be considered a distinct Balkan trait. This type of accentuation is characteristic of a Balkan micro-region where Slavic and Greek dialects are in contact.Во статијата се разгледуваат две фонетски појави кај балканските дијалекти во Македонија: ограничувањето на местото на акцентот на последните три слога и двојното акцентирање. Тие се карактеристични за македонско-албанско-грчкото подрачје во центарот на Балканскиот јазичен сојуз. Авторот не се сложува со прифатената теза во балканистичката литература дека западните и централните македонски говори имаат заеднички акцентен тип со грчките, ароманските и албанските дијалекти во овој ареал. Во статијата се даваат аргументи, со коишто се побиваат претходните ставови за централнобалканскиот карактер на ограничувањето на местото на акцентот на последните три слога. Таа појава не заслужува посебно проучување бидејќи претставува универзална тенденција, којашто произлегува од природните надворешнојазични преференции. Во врска со втората појава – двојното акцентирање – авторката издвојува еден тип кој може да има статус на балканска црта. Таквото акцентирање е карактеристично за една балканска микрообласт, каде што словенските и грчките дијалекти се во контакт. 
ROMAN CATHOLICS AND MUSLIMS IN GREECE: INTERRELIGIOUS AND INTERCULTURAL DIALOGUE IN A BALKAN COUNTRY
Full text linkThis paper is intended to analyse Islamic presence in Modern Greece especially under theperspective of interreligious dialogue between Muslim refugees and Christian majority of Greekpopulation. In this context, many initiatives held by Roman Catholics in Greece, especially Jesuits,Franciscans, local Caritas, Sisters of Mother Theresa, are devoted to Muslim refugees and peopleof different migratory background. Humanitarian activity promoted by Roman Catholics favoursan interactive process with immigrants but also a fight for justice with the result of establishingan interfaith dialogue with Greek Orthodox Christians. The meeting with refugees is aimed notonly to give them the possibility of making an income, but also to restore the dignity of migrantpeople. So, for example, the Jesuit Refugee Center (JRS) and the Jesuit Welcome Center (JWC) aremeant to answer the urgent needs of people from Central Asia (Pakistan, Afghanistan), Northernand Sahel Africa (Morocco, Egypt, Somalia, Nigeria) and other countries with Muslim majority. Onthe other hand, these initiatives favour a regular daily routine through work and/or learning. Thisgoal inspired the “Pedro Arrupe Center”, a social justice and educational project, aimed to helpyoung refugees or children of families with migratory background to better pursue their schoolintegration process
PRIDE AND PUNISHMENT: THE CHURCH, THE STATE, AND PRIDE PARADES IN SERBIA (2012-2024)
Full text linkA process of desecularization, sacralizing the nation, and retraditionalizing gender roleshas been ongoing in post-Yugoslav Serbia since the late 80s, but has gained new steam since 2012,when a new government of a coalition similar to the 1990s politics was formed, albeit this timewith the ostensible aim of joining the EU. Against the backdrop of these processes, Serbian identityhas been constructed in a particularly masculine way. And although the use of homophobiato Other the ‘Enemy within’ is not new in Serbian nationalism, a notable shift has been observedas Serbia has been pushed to accept LGBT bodies as part of its Europeanisation process, which isnow further complicated by the war in Ukraine. The pride parades, which Serbia has had to enduredue to its European integration process, and the tactical decision to appoint a lesbian prime minister,have contributed to the impossibility to openly rely on stereotypical homophobic means ofothering. As such, the focus of the ‘enemy’ within shifted from the homosexual to other ‘Others’:Albanians, migrants traversing the Balkan route, non-maternal women, and most recently, ‘genderideology’ in biology textbooks and gender-sensitive language. Tracing the debates in the Serbianmedia, especially with regard to the discursive chasm between LGBT communities/feminisms andthe Serbian Orthodox Church, but also with changes in the dominant media discourse, this papercontends that nationalist othering in Serbia is consistently reshaped in order to accommodatethe changing political climates. It demonstrates the moving boundaries in the construction of thenation, which constantly fluctuating representations of identities stereotypically associated withLGBT communities, masculinities and femininities, ‘Serbhood’, and Orthodoxy
