Stosunek do języka polskiego młodzieży polskiej mieszkającej w Ejszyszkach
Get PDFThe aim of the article is to analyze language attitudes expressed by young people belonging to the Polish ethnic minority living in Eišiškės. The material for this research was collected in 2020 by student Aneta Borisevska on the basis of a survey developed in the project “Sociolinguistic map of Lithuania: city and town (2013)”. The results of the survey show that the Polish language is assessed ambiguously by the respondents: the common Polish language is considered prestigious and necessary for contacts in Poland, but the Polish dialect is considered mixed and unsuitable for use in Vilnius or Poland. Young respondents state that they will need the Lithuanian language the most to study and work in Lithuania. In Eišiškės, there is a tendency to use the Lithuanian language more widely, the Polish dialect it is mostly spoken at home and with acquaintances.Eišiškių lenkų etninės mažumos jaunimo kalbinės nuostatos lenkų kalbos atžvilgiuStraipsnio tikslas – paanalizuoti Eišiškių lenkų etninės mažumos jaunimo kalbines nuostatas. Interviu šiam tyrimui surinko iš Eišiškių kilusi Vilniaus universiteto lenkų filologijos studentė Aneta Borisevska 2020 m., remdamasi vykdant projektą „Sociolingvistinis Lietuvos žemėlapis: miestai ir miesteliai (2013)“ parengta anketa. Tyrimo rezultatai rodo, kad lenkų kalbą respondentai vertina nevienareikšmiškai: bendrinė lenkų kalba laikoma prestižine ir būtina palaikyti kontaktus Lenkijoje, tačiau lenkų tarmė laikoma maišyta ir netinkama vartoti Vilniuje ar Lenkijoje. Jaunimas teigia, kad studijoms ir darbui Lietuvoje labiausiai jiems reikės lietuvių kalbos. Eišiškėse pastebima tendencija plačiau vartoti lietuvių kalbą, lenkų tarme dažniausiai kalbama namie ir su pažįstamais
Transformation of the Museum in the 21st Century: Baltic States Museums Visitors
Get PDFAudience development in cultural organisations and museums in Lithuania is relevant and not enough explored. While reading different academic literature and research on this topic, the most common issue mentioned is a lack of research about visitors to Lithuanian cultural organisations and museums. Most usually, communication about events and products created for visitors is based on the intuition or opinion of the employees, rather than on analysis of visitor’s expectations. Meanwhile, global research is orientated to understand, who is the audience of the organisation and what expectations it has. Those studies show that the audience is expecting to get new emotions, learn new things, new experiences, and increase social connections, to feel welcomed and interested
The Impact of Employer Brand Equity Elements on Consumer Attitude to Service Brand
Get PDFIncreasing competition means that organisations are looking for new ways to ensure the equity of their brands, and due to the specifics of services, employees are undoubtedly one of the most important links in service brand equity creation, therefore consumer knowledge of employer brand and its equity elements can contribute to the perception towards it, change it and influence behavioural intentions. According to the theory of reasoned behaviour, attitude is an important determinant of behaviour, so the purpose of this article is to assess how elements of an employer’s brand equity influence attitude toward a service brand. After the exploratory factor analysis, 3 main elements of the employer’s brand equity were identified. An analysis of the empirical study also found that the employer brand image has the strongest effect on attitudes towards a service brand, while the effect of employer brand awareness and reputation has a weaker effect
Towards a source-oriented approach to typological universals
Get PDFTypological universals are skewed distributional patterns whereby languages recurrently display certain grammatical patterns as opposed to others. Explanations for these patterns are usually based on their synchronic properties, not actual diachronic processes that shape the pattern cross-linguistically. The paper discusses diachronic evidence about the origins of some typological universals pertaining to word order and aspect/tense conditioned alignment splits. This evidence poses two general challenges for synchronically based explanations of typological universals. First, the relevant patterns do not obviously arise because of the principles postulated to account for these patterns on synchronic grounds. Second, the development of these patterns is a combined result of multiple diachronic processes. These facts point to a new, source-oriented approach to typological universals, one focusing on what source constructions and developmental mechanisms play a role in the shaping of individual patterns, rather than the synchronic properties of the pattern in itself
A peculiar Lithuanian particle mat or Mat ją bala, irgi mat dalelytė!
Get PDFIn this paper, we discuss the morphosyntactic properties and the functional contribution of the discourse-structuring element mat in Lithuanian, which was largely overlooked in previous research. We demonstrate that in each function mat is associated with peculiar morphosyntactic behaviour. We argue that it is the construction in which it occurs as a whole that bears meaning, rather than mat as a lexical unit on its own. In our analysis, we invoke insights and some apparatus of Construction Grammar approaches, which fit well with our observations in their focus on non-compositional aspects of linguistic structure
Lithuanian reflexive-based impersonals with accusative objects
Get PDFThis paper surveys Lithuanian impersonal constructions with predicative present passive participles containing non-promoted accusative objects. It is shown that the construction, hitherto considered very rare, is well-attested and productive with one verb class, namely, transitive reflexives. In terms of semantics, transitive reflexives in Lithuanian may be classified as autobenefactives. Autobenefactive reflexives do not exhibit a change in argument structure with respect to their non-reflexive counterparts. In the case of autobenefactives, the morpheme -si- attached to the verb adds the meaning that the subject, which mostly has the semantic role of an agent, benefits from the event expressed by the predicate. On the basis of corpus data, we have analysed how widespread impersonal constructions with accusative objects are within the domain of transitive reflexives and which pattern—the accusative or the nominative—is dominant when both are attested. Lastly, we briefly discuss the temporal-aspectual meaning of reflexive-based impersonals as well as the referential properties of implied agent
DUONOS paveikslas lietuvių žodynuose
Get PDFThe bread in one form or another has been known to people all over the world. Linguistic data and rites show that the Lithuanians have been eating bread since ancient times. Bread is mentioned in the small-form verbal folklore, songs, sagas, fairy tales, beliefs and various rites. In ancient times the bread was personalised and deified. The examples from the dialect dictionaries were also included into the research because every dialectal saying is an example of cultural message, manifestation of tradition nurturance and preservation, a part of cultural heritage, which links the past with the present. The dialectal examples show, what is deep-rooted in the tradition, what is passed down from generation to generation, what lies in the traditional value system and what makes the essence of an ethnic group. Due to these reasons the dialectal texts have a huge public or cultural value as they denote a content that is significant to a certain community. Having completed the analysis of dialectal discourse, it can be stated that various dictionaries construct the following picture of the concept bread: bread is the main meal of people, it is baked from different kinds of cereal flours, it is respected and saved, it has healing powers; the bread baked at home is the most delicious; if there is no bread, a person starves; to have bread all the time one has to work hard because baking bread is labour-intensive work, which has to be performed with knowledge and love, to make bread delicious and fragrant, calamus, cabbage or maple leaves are put under a loaf of bread, it is decorated or marked with sacred signs; an individual equals bread with human activity and appearance; bread is a measure of life, a reference point for evaluating certain actions. The place of bread in the human life is reflected by derivates as well: special things, capacities for mixing, souring, baking, slicing or keeping bread; other meals prepared from bread.Įvairūs lietuvių žodynai suformuoja tokį sąvokos duona paveikslą: duona yra pagrindinis žmogaus valgis, kepama iš įvairių grūdų miltų, ji gerbiama ir taupoma, turi gydomųjų galių; skaniausia yra namie išsikepta duona; jeigu duonos nėra, žmogus badauja; norint visada turėti duonos reikia daug dirbti, net duonos kepimas yra didelis ir sunkus darbas, kurį reikia dirbti su išmanymu ir meile, kad būtų skani ir kvapni, po jos kepalu dedami ajerai, kopūstų, klevų lapai, ji puošiama ir pažymima šventais ženklais; žmogus duoną lygina su žmogaus veikla, išvaizda; duona yra gyvenimo matas, tam tikrų poelgių vertinimo atskaitos taškas; duonos vietą žmogaus gyvenime atspindi ir derivatai: duonai maišyti, raugti, kepti, riekti, laikyti yra specialūs daiktai, indai; iš duonos ruošiami kiti valgiai
Opowieści wierzeniowe w tekstach historii mówionej osób w okresie późnej dorosłości
Get PDFIn my article, I analyze selected belief stories from the oral history texts. The research material contains the three biographical accounts of the people in late adulthood (over 65). The belief stories (belief tales) are one of the genres of speech typical for the accounts rooted in a folk view of the world. The demonic characters appear in them, e. g. the devil, the striga or the południca. The belief stories contain a detailed description of the world. They have an explanatory function. They are to explain how the world works. Belief stories do not appear often in the oral history texts created by the people in late adulthood who were not related to the countryside or were related to it in a limited extent. This way of shaping the narrative may be related to changes in the rationality of the narrators. The common and the scientific view of the world intersect in their narratives. The narrators add the numerous comments to their belief stories, in which they distance themselves from the folk view of the world or try to scientifically rationalize the fantastic events. Nevertheless, the fragments in which other genres of speech are realized, especially in anecdotes, reveal a clear relationship between the narrative of oral history and the common sense and belief vision of the world. The narrators often explain their own experiences by introducing elements of belief tales into other genres. Such fragments reveal the schemes of punishment and reward, non-worldly divine intervention, anthropomorphization of inanimate objects and assigning them the rank of demonic beings. Despite the intersection of different types of rationality in the narratives, a belief-based vision of the world still plays an important role in shaping of the oral narratives about the past.W swoim artykule analizuję przykłady opowieści wierzeniowych (podań) występujących w tekstach historii mówionej. Materiałem badawczym jest zbiór nagranych przeze mnie narracji biograficznych osób w okresie późnej dorosłości. Fragmenty, w których ujawnia się omawiany gatunek mowy, są w relacjach narratorów słabo związanych ze środowiskiem wiejskim stosunkowo nieliczne. W tekstach historii mówionej przenikają się racjonalność potoczna i naukowa. Narratorzy obudowują opowieści wierzeniowe komentarzami, w których dystansują się do ludowego obrazu świata lub próbują naukowo racjonalizować wydarzenia fantastyczne. Elementy podań ujawniają się także w ramach innych gatunków mowy, gdzie służą opartemu na wierzeniach wyjaśnianiu doświadczeń narratorów. Wierzeniowa wizja świata istotnie wpływa na ukształtowanie ustnych narracji o przeszłości
