The influence of conditional and concessive nonveridical rhetorical relations on evaluation in the Serbian and Russian newspaper discourse
No full textThis paper examines how conditional and concessive nonveridical rhetorical relations influence evaluation in the Serbian and Russian newspaper discourse. Et also investigates the role of nonveridical elements (Giannakidou 1998) on evaluation in discourse and relates the notion of nonveridicality to similar notions, such as modality, Appraisal (Martin and White 2005) and subjectivity. We adopted the approach that was applied on the corpus of the English online comments produced on the reviews of books and movies (Trnavac and Taboada 2012; Taboada and Trnavac 2013)
Lexical Variation of the Equivalents of Rome Dialect Vulgar Expression Mortacci in Serbian Translation of Pasolini’s Novel the Street Boys
No full textU Pazolinijevom romanu Iskusni momci reiterativni vulgarizmi ukazuju na sociokulturnu marginalizaciju likova i predstavljaju važan stilski element kako ovog, tako i drugog romana Pjer Paola Pazolinija (Žestok život) koji u sebi sadrže veliki broj reči i izraza preuzetih iz rimskog dijalekta. Analizom prevoda na srpski jezik romana Iskusni momci uočeno je da nisu sačuvane ni ekspresivnost ni reiterativnost vulgarizama mortacci. Ovaj izraz je preveden velikim brojem leksičkih varijanata i idiomatskih izraza koji tek delimično i u neznatnom broju prenose semantičku i pragmatičku vrednost izvornog vulgarnog izraza. U ovom radu analiziramo i komentarišemo nemotivisanu varijaciju ekvivalenata vulgarizma mortacci, koja bitno ublažava utisak vulgarnosti u govoru glavnih likova. Brojne prevodilačke varijacije pomenutog izraza potiru njegovu reiterativnost i efekte koji se postižu ponavljanjem (gubi se utisak o neobrazovanosti glavnih likova i o njihovoj svedenoj jezičkoj kompetenciji): na taj način krivi se recepcija sociokulturnog statusa likova romana, što ugrožava i razumevanje romana u celini.Pasolini’s novel Ragazzi di vita (The Street Kids, translated by Ann Goldstein, 2016) is
characteristic for the presence of Roman dialect in dialogues and recursive vulgar expressions
(cazzo, vaffanculo, stronzo, mortacci). These two stylistic instruments contribute to perceive the
main characters of this novel as socially deeply marginalized individuals lacking almost any
formal education and prone to criminal activities and fraud. The Serbian translation of this novel
(Iskusni momci, by Gordana Subotić, 2015) shows two major defects: one is due to the
constraints of Serbian language, which generally does not have the means to replicate in Serbian
the parallel usage of literal language and dialect in foreign language prose. Unlike Serbian,
Croatian language showed the capability to include in the translation of Gadda’s novel That Awful
Mess on the Via Merulana (by William Weaver, 1985) Dalmatian dialect alongside Croatian literal
language, preserving the “bilingualism” of the Italian text. However, a major (though evitable)
defect of the Serbian translation is represented by the choice of Serbian translator to vary, with
no apparent reasons, the most dominant vulgar expression in the novel, mortacci (translated in
English as “go to hell!”, although other equivalents also match its meanings, like “damn”, “shit”,
“fuck (you)” and the like). In the Serbian translation we found 27 equivalents for the 45
occurrences of mortacci, but only a small part of them keep the necessary degree of vulgarity,
while other equivalents are either euphemistic or anachronistic. Unmotivated lexical
differentiation of this vulgar expression produces a shifted perception of the main characters, of
their psychology and their social status. Thanks to the abundance of lexical equivalents, their
language seems to be less violent, more controlled and inoffensive, in contrast with their
behavior and actions. This distorted perception is particularly alarming because Pasolini is an
important Italian author and his works should be translated, ideally, with most accuracy and
coherence because of the influence that important and renowned authors have among foreign
readers, critics and, potentially writers

Somatic incongruent possessive syntagmas in Serbian language
No full textThe paper analyzes the somatic incongruent possessive syntagmas by means of which the possessor and the possessum are expressed by substitutive lexemes. Two types of structural and semantic types of somatic possessive constructions are thus analyzed: a) attributive somatic possessive syntagmas, representing the grammaticalized attributive constructions whereby the possessor and the possessum constitute substitutive syntagma (substitutive by means of which a man and the upper part of the body are signified via direct attributive correlation); besides the authentic attributive possessive syntagmas, the constructions also include attributive syntagmas conveying qualitative meaning or the meaning of a specific particularity; b) syntactic indirect somatic possessive syntagmas, constructions by means of which the correlation between syntexemas is obtained, but with no direct correlation in terms of syntagmatic correlation, that is to say the somatic possessivity is not obtained among the syntexemas that do not create the direct, but indirect syntagmatic construction. These constructions are those whereby the correlation obtained between two elements of a possessive relation is not expressed by the verb, but is constructed via the verb, thus the somatic units constituting the possessive correlation are not syntactically, but only semantically interrelated. The paper provides structural and semantic subclassification of the models in question, as well as a detailed analysis of the respective syntactic and semantic characteristics
Skidding on common ground: A socio-cognitive approach to problems in intercultural communicative situations
No full textThe research presented in this paper is qualitative in nature and focuses on a number of conversational interchanges that took place either between native and non-native speakers of English or interlocutors who came from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds and who were using English as a lingua franca. The aim of the paper is to explore and account for the reasons underlying the 'misfiring' and communication problems that characterized these conversations. In my analysis I have relied on the socio-cognitive approach of utterance interpretation that fully acknowledges the role of private and actual contexts in governing the speakers' linguistic choices, as well as on the dynamic model of meaning as proposed by Kecskes (2008, 2009, 2010, 2014), that argues for the dynamic construal of meaning as complex and elaborate work shared in by the speaker and the hearer. Adhering to Kecskes' (2008) view that context, especially the private context, plays both a selective and constituting role in co-constructing the common ground by the participants in conversation, I propose that failure to establish the common ground ('skidding on the common ground') in intercultural conversations can be traced to partial differences or similarities between the private contexts of the interlocutors.

On Marks in Orthography (3): non-Sentential (Subsidiary) Marks and Some Remarks on Orthographic Marks in General
No full textУ раду се најпре бавимо помоћним правописним знацима: коментаришемо једну употребу термина помоћни правописни знаци која се појавила у литератури, наводимо дефиниције помоћних правописних знакова дате у правописима, разматрамо инвентар интерпункцијских знакова који се могу употребити и као помоћни правописни, наводимо помоћне правописне знаке који се налазе у досадашњим правописима и коментаришемо критеријуме по којима се ти знаци укључују у правописе. Затим пажњу посвећујемо различитим аспектима правописних знакова уопште: њиховом именовању, начинима на које се читају наглас, односима међу њима и дефинисању свих правописних знакова заједно.This paper (in continuation to Klikovac 2017 and 2018a) is structured in two parts. The first part
deals with subsidiary (non-sentential, i.e. non-punctuation) orthographic marks, whereby the author
comments on one emergent use of the term ‘subsidiary orthographic marks’ in the pertinent literature,
provides an overview of the definitions of subsidiary orthographic marks given in the extant orthography manuals, considers the inventory of punctuation marks which can be used as subsidiary orthographic marks (and establishes that these include the full stop/period, comma, dash, colon, ellipsis/
three dots, and brackets/parentheses), provides an overview of the subsidiary orthographic marks listed
in the extant orthography manuals, and argues against including mathematical symbols in orthography.
In the second part, which deals with various aspects of orthographic marks in general, the author argues
in favour of naming the orthographic mark according to its form (i.e. the graphic solution) rather than
according to its function, considers the ways in which orthographic marks (including both punctuation
and subsidiary marks) are read aloud, and establishes that the phenomena of polysemy, synonymy and
homonymy, which are commonly associated with lexemes and grammatical constructions, are also
observable in orthographic marks. In conclusion, all orthographic marks taken together are defined as
signs which are combined with letters or, potentially, numbers, in order to achieve a clear, discernible
written text; as such, they can be inserted into a text as additional written signs, but are also textually
combinable in other ways
Suprematism and Natsuprematism: Malevich vs. Pepperstein
No full textThis article examines the influence of Kazimir Malevich on Moscow conceptual artist Pavel Pepperstein and his work: paintings, performances and literary prose. Suprematism was chosen by Pavel Pepperstein as a ground base for a new, representative "Russian" style, named "natsuprematism" ("national suprematism"). We are focusing on Pepperstein's utopian project The City of Russia (2007), where artist proposes to construct a new futuristic capital between Moscow and St. Petersburg using Malevich's Suprematism as visual identity: basic geometric forms painted in a limited range of colours on white background. For example, the form Black Square in Pepperstein's artwork is ironically presented as an object and symbol of religion, economy and political power
