CULTURAL SPECIFIC IDIOMS AND THEIR TRANSLATABILITY

Contrastive phraseology distinguishes between three main forms of


correspondence: (1) formally and semantically identical phrases; (2) phraseologisms,
whose meanings match but contain a different lexical structure; and (3) fixed
expressions with zero equivalence. This last group includes culturally specific
phrases related to national history, literature, culture, and rooted folk beliefs. The
paper deals with Hungarian idioms that do not have an equivalent in the Serbian
language, their typology, as well as the possibilities of translating the mentioned
phrases into the Serbian language. Solutions can be diverse, starting from finding
phrases that are used in similar circumstances and conditions in the target language,
all the way to neglecting or omitting idioms, which leads to inevitable loss in
translation.

Key words: phraseology, culturally specific phrases, Hungarian, Serbian.

INFORMATION - COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES IN LAW

Contemporary social tendencies, changes and technical-technological


progress, inexorably affect all social spheres. In the field of legal science, as well as
legal practice, elements of information and communication technologies penetrate.
The author's special area of interest is the use of information and communication
technologies in criminal law, both material and procedural. Digitization is particularly
prevalent in the field of criminology, criminology and penology. Also, the concept of e-
justice is considered as a significant progress and achievement of information
technology development, which foresees a special treatment of the processing and
collection of evidence and evidence in criminal proceedings, the method of execution
of criminal sanctions, as well as the prevention of crime and criminal acts.

Key words: information - communication technologies, law, criminal procedure.

ASHIK POETRY AS AN EXPRESSION OF TURKISH CULTURAL IDENTITY

Turkish folk poetry holds special importance in preserving Turkish cultural


identity within the migration of Turkish nomadic tribes from its start until modern
times. The paper presents and analyzes folk poetry both as an expression of national
identity and a notable means of preserving the Turkish language in its original form.
Our goal is to review and determine the circumstances in which the Turkish language
and its folk poetry were at risk of losing a significant part of their identity after the
emergence of poetry forms written in a hybrid Ottoman language. The results show
that the people, alienated from the educated elite during the centuries-long Ottoman
Empire, began a form of fight for the survival of the national language and succeeded
in achieving this goal with sincere expression through the poetry of national poets
(aşık), which depicts the people’s perception and serves as a guardian of the national
language and identity, contrary to the artificial forms of court poetry.

Key words: Turkish national poetry, Ashik poetry, Cultural identity.

THE CHARACTER IS ME: JEAN-LUC LAGARCE. CASE STUDY: JUSTE LA FIN DU


MONDE, J’ÉTAIS DANS MA MAISON ET J’ATTENDAIS QUE LA PLUIE VIENNE, LE
PAYS LOINTAIN

In this paper, we attempt to outline the functions of the character in the


theatre of Jean-Luc Lagarce, one of France's most successful playwrights. The
character in Jean-Luc Lagarce's dramaturgy can be seen as being closely dependent
on the relationships he maintains with the Other, with others. Even if in his theatre
the protagonists are sometimes solitary spirits (like Louis, the main character in
these three plays), their identity can only be constructed through interpersonal
relationships (for example, in Le pays lointain we can find family relationships: the
Father, already dead, the Mother, Antoine, Louis's brother Suzanne, Louis's sister
Catherine, Antoine's wife Hélène, the Lover, already dead etc.). The three plays we
propose as case studies in this paper, Juste la fin du monde (1990), J'étais dans ma
maison et j'attendais que la pluie vienne (1994) and Le pays lointain (1995), highlight
common and related themes: death, memory and family relationships. The dramatic
character who represents Ariadne's thread in these three plays, who lives and

experiences feelings, is Louis, the playwright's alter ego. We will show how the
playwright becomes a character in his theatre, a biographical 'dispositif' (Foucault,
1971, 1975, 1977). We shall conclude with the differential autonomy (Hamon, 1972:
91) of Lagarce's dramatic character, his disappearance and devaluation (cf. Jouve,
1992), and his interference in the text, its creation.

Key words: the Other, solitary spirit, Jean-Luc Lagarce, identity, dramatic character.

FROM LEXICAL TO ACTIONAL MEANING: “SECONDARY PHASE” VERBS IN


RUSSIAN AND SERBIAN

The paper focuses on verbs capable of phase-determining a situation,


particularly those whose primary meaning does not fall within the domain of phases,
hence the designation “secondary phase” verbs. These are verbs that carry the
examined actional (phase) meaning within their polysemantic structure, even though
their primary meaning does not indicate that particular segment. For instance, the
beginning of an activity can be expressed using the verbs “взяться” / “прихватити
се” (to take hold, to start) - even though their primary meaning refers to the physical
joining of a (typically living) subject by hands to an object or person. The verb of
motion “кретати” can be used in the phrase ‘кренуо је на курс руског језика’ where
it signifies the beginning of a process. This paper will investigate the differences in
the use of verbs of motion in Russian and Serbian, particularly noticeable when
denoting the beginning of a situation. Furthermore, preliminary results show that the
most prevalent “secondary phase” meaning among verbs is “beginning” while pre-
initiation can be expressed through specific emotional verbs (such as
“бояться/бојати се” - ‘to fear’). The study aims to determine the presence and
prevalence of “secondary phase” verbs across all phase meanings, their syntactic
behavior, and their implicit modal components.

Key words: phase meaning, “secondary phase” verbs, Russian and Serbian.

THROUGH LITERATURE TO UNDERSTANDING THE PAST: ASSIMILATION AND


IDENTITY IN THE NOVEL THE OLD HOUSE BY CÉCILE TORMAY

The novel The Old House by Cécile Tormay explores the deep layers of
historical and social reality through the depiction of a family history. This paper
offers an interdisciplinary approach to analysing the work, combining elements of
literature, history, and social sciences to illuminate complex aspects of the period in
which the story unfolds. Through carefully crafted characters and plot twists, the
author immerses us in the atmosphere of early 20th-century European society,
particularly highlighting the dynamics and changes that shaped Budapest during that
time.
The study aims to shed light on various aspects of the assimilation of
Germans in Hungary and its complex consequences at individual and collective levels:
how these processes shaped their life paths and identities, and how the social,
political, and economic contexts of the time influenced the dynamics of relationships
between the German minority community and the majority Hungarian society.
Through the analysis of the novel The Old House, this paper provides insight
into the social, political, and cultural patterns of a turbulent period through the lens
of literature, offering a deeper understanding of how the past shapes the present.

Key words: Cécile Tormay, assimilation, identity, Budapest, Germans in Hungary.

DEI CIVITAS CULTURA: THE 34TH EUCHARISTIC CONGRESS IN BUDAPEST IN THE


LIGHT OF CULTURAL EVENTS

The holy year was proclaimed by Pope Pius XI to be held in Hungary upon
the Regent couple’s visit to the Holy See in 1937. It coincided with the celebration of
Saint Stephen’s Memorial Year in 1938, marking the 900th anniversary of the death
of Hungary’s first Christian king. The Eucharistic Congress in Budapest, often dubbed
as ‘triumphant’ by contemporaries, was marked by a series of festivities and cultural
events that took place in the capital in conjunction with the ecclesiastical gathering.
The week-long cultural programme started on 24 May with various exhibitions,
concerts and theatre plays hosted at Budapest’s most distinguished establishments. It
was during this time that the newly refurbished Budapest Municipal Gallery was
opened to the public at the Károlyi Palace with the ‘International Caritas exhibition’.
This study is set to examine Hungary’s aspirations for legitimacy as a thousand-year

THE IMAGE OF SAINT BENEDICT OF NURSIA IN THE SECOND BOOK OF THE


SERBIAN-SLAVONIC TRANSLATION OF THE ROMAN PATERICON

In this paper, we analyse the lexico-syntactic devices employed to name


Saint Benedict of Nurisa in his hagiography, which constitutes the second book of
the complete Serbian-Slavonic translation of the Roman Patericon from the Greek
language. The aforementioned manuscript, written between 1415 and 1425
represents a segment of the manuscript collections of the Visoki Dečani Monastery.
Currently, it is preserved in the National Library of Serbia in Belgrade (Dečani 102).
Considering that this work was translated during the period of Resava, it is
expected that the scribe/translator's approach to the Greek source will be
conditioned by the postulates of that era. In this regard, we will pay special
attention to the Greek original to determine the degree to which the Serbian -
Slavonic text adheres to it, and to identify instances where deviations from the
Greek source occur, thereby examining the factors influencing these deviations.
Potential innovations in the Serbian-Slavonic translation could reflect the
encounter between two temporally and territorially distant cultures, within the era
when the scribe/translator activity was fundamentally guided by the purification
and archaization of texts to closely adhere to the original.

Key words: Saint Benedict, Naming, Hagiography, Serbian-Slavonic, Greek language.

SOCIOLOGICAL PROFILE OF YOUNG PEOPLE WITH AND WITHOUT MARRIAGE


EXPERIENCE

The postponement of nuptiality is one of the general characteristics of the


second demographic transition, with certain variations observed within this trend,
depending on general societal characteristics. The aim of this study is to identify
the characteristics of the sociological profile of young people with and without
marital experience by analyzing their socio-demographic, socio-economic, and
socio-cultural traits. The research involved 989 young people from the Vojvodina
region, aged between 18 and 34. Data were collected through a survey based on an
electronic questionnaire distributed via social networks (voluntary sample,
"snowball" sample). The results confirm that there are significant differences in the
sociological profiles of young people with and without marital experience,
especially in the group of socio-demographic and socio-economic characteristics.

Key words: sociological profile, nuptiality, young people, second demographic

TRANSFERRED MEANINGS OF LEXICAL UNITS WITH THE CONCEPT OF DOG


AND PAS IN ENGLISH AND SERBIAN: A COGNITIVE LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS

The paper analyses lexical units (lexemes and idiomatic structures)


containing the concept DOG in English and PAS in Serbian, and the cognitive
motivation of the transferred meanings of the analysed lexical units. The goal of the
paper is to examine the conceptual metaphors and/or conceptual metonymies
underlying the transferred meanings of the examined lexical units and then to
compare and contrast the transferred meanings (containing the concepts DOG and
PAS) in English and Serbia. The corpus consists of lexemes and idioms with the
concept of DOG and PAS that have been excerpted from the relevant monolingual
dictionaries of English and Serbian. The author’s theoretical background is cognitive
linguistics and the theory of conceptual metaphor, which explains the target (usually
abstract) domain through the source (usually specific, experience-based) domain.

25
The Thirteenth International Interdisciplinary
Symposium Encounter of Cultures

The results of the analysis show that the transferred meanings containing the concept
of DOG and PAS in most cases refer to people’s immoral and negative characteristics
and are typically the result of the metaphorical mappings.

Key words: dog, pas, transferred meaning, conceptual metaphor, conceptual


metonymy.

CONCEPTS OF BIRTH AND DEATH IN ITALIAN PHRASEOLOGY AND


PAREMIOLOGY IN LIGHT OF LINGUISTIC-COGNITIVE AND LINGUOCULTURAL
ANALYSIS

This paper explores linguistic reflections in the contemporary Italian


language, based on associations with the concepts of "birth" and "death". The
subject of our research includes idiomatic expressions and proverbs that depict the
cultural and symbolic representations of events marking the beginning and end of
human life, built and solidified over centuries. The linguistic analysis aims to show
how these concepts are intertwined with the history and folk beliefs of the speak er
community that created them, as well as the perspectives from which the themes of
life and death are viewed. The goal of this paper is to contribute to the
understanding of the role of conceptualization as a process and language as a
moderator in shaping social perceptions and understandings of these two
fundamental moments of human life. We rely on the methodology of cognitive
linguistics and the creation of metaphorical images, as well as on the basics of
linguocultural analysis, to complete the picture of the causal relationship between
observation and understanding of the world and the creation of conventional
meaning, which is often figuratively represented in the language. For the purpose of
this research, we used general and specialized dictionaries of contemporary Italian,
dictionaries of idioms, as well as dictionaries and collections of proverbs in the
standard Italian language.

Key words: Italian language, phraseology, paremiology, birth, death.

INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE IN PRIMARY-SCHOOL EFL


LEARNERS IN SERBIA AND CROATIA ‒ A COMPARATIVE STUDY

Today, multiculturalism is everywhere, which is why it is essential to


possess a high degree of intercultural communicative competence, the ability to
embrace intercultural values, skills, and knowledge. This study aims to determine
the existence of intercultural competence and sensitivity among elementary -school
students learning English as a foreign language in Serbia and Croatia.
In this study, we will attempt to answer the following questions:
1. Are there significant differences in intercultural competence among
elementary-school students in Serbia and Croatia?
2. What are the parallels with the stages of Milton Bennett’s Developmental
Model of Intercultural Sensitivity?
The questionnaire used in the study is based on a multimodal analysis of
textbooks from Serbia and Croatia. Students from higher grades of elementary
schools were surveyed.

THE PRACTICAL USE OF THE LARGEST ELECTRONIC CORPUS OF THE SERBIAN


LANGUAGE CLASSLA-WEB.SR IN WORD FORMATION RESEARCH

The aim of this paper is to highlight the practical use of the most extensive
contemporary corpus of the Serbian language, CLASSLA-web.sr, which currently
contains 2,342,626,265 words from 5,256,087 documents, in word-formation
research. The paper will demonstrate how corpus linguistics and the use of this
specific corpus can provide greater and better contributions to research in the
fields of affixation, conversion, and compounding, in terms of form, content, and use
of affixes and derivatives, both in Serbian and in contact-contrastive research. This
contribution is significant primarily because such research is based on the actual
language use by contemporary speakers, rather than on the assumed form, content,
and use as was the case with earlier, pre-corpus research. The paper will present
specific solutions regarding the determination of the meaning of affixes, their
competitiveness, prefix-suffix derivatives, neologisms, productivity of specific
word-formation processes, and will also demonstrate the potential of using the

WHAT IS PHILOSOPHICAL IN PHILOSOPHY FOR CHILDREN?

The old adage suggests that philosophical questions are posed not only by
philosophers but also by children and individuals struggling with mental health.
Just as there are tendencies to use philosophy as a means to strengthen mental
health, if not necessarily to cure it, there is also the idea that philosophy can be
applied in the upbringing and education of children. At first glance, this idea may
seem inappropriate to philosophy itself - since ancient times, it has been assumed
that engaging in philosophy requires spiritual maturity, which necessitates a
certain level of maturity expressed through age. Hence, the idea of "philosophy for
children" might appear, at the very least, contradictory. However, pedagogical
reflections throughout the 20th century have shown multiple benefits of
introducing philosophical thinking at earlier stages of the educational process.
Certainly, familiarity with the philosophical way of thinking is not entirely the same
as familiarity with philosophy, but it is perhaps closest to the true experience of
philosophizing and an excellent introduction to the study of philosophy itself. This
work focuses on two essential questions regarding philosophy for children: first,
what are the benefits of philosophy for children for the educational process and
society in general, and second, what benefits does philosophy for children have for
philosophy itself?

Key words: philosophy, philosophy for children, education, critical thinking.

THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY IN THE NOVEL LA SANS PAREILLE BY MILISAV


SAVIĆ

The novel „La sans pareilleˮ by Milisav Savić, originally published in 2015,
has had several editions in Serbian and foreign languages, it has been awarded
multiple times and was consistently positively evaluated by critics. Although it was
the topic of many reviews and a few papers (that took into consideration its narration
and style in the first place), the subject matter of this work hasn’t been thoroughly
analyzed. This paper deals with the question of identity, which is included in the
novel through its different types (personal, national, religious, sexual, gender), as well
as with the possibilities of its change, considering internal and external factors that
define selfhood. The research has a goal to enlighten the author᾽s ways of playing
with the concept of identity, as he pushes it to the limits of its ambiguity.

LANGUAGE AND CULTURE IN SERBIAN JOB ADVERTISEMENTS FOR


TRANSLATORS AND INTERPRETERS (2009-2024)

The demand for languages in the job market for translators and interpreters
is neither static nor stable, as it depends on broader economic and cultural changes in
society. This presentation will provide insight into which languages are present in the
translation and interpreting job market in the Serbian economy and how this demand
has been changing, based on a systematic tracking of job advertisements from 2009
to the present. The results are based on a corpus of 1,643 advertisements by 804
employers published on the employment platform poslovinfostud.com, the only
employment platform in Serbia that regularly publishes advertisements for
translators and interpreters, allowing for systematic analysis. The presentation will
also focus on the representation of culture in these advertisements. Since translation
is inherently intercultural communication, cultural knowledge is usually not explicitly
stated, because it is presumed. Therefore, it is important to examine the manner in
which this requirement is articulated, the languages specified, and the types of jobs
associated with it. Such data may be considered indicators of areas where cultural
competence is more challenging to achieve and necessitates greater emphasis in the
curricula for translator and interpreter training.

Key words: translation and interpreting, job ads, languages, cultural competence.

A COMPARISON OF THE HUNGARIAN AND RUTHENIAN ETHNOLINGUISTIC


VITALITY IN VOJVODINA

As a multiethnic region, APV is a suitable area for testing ethnolinguistic


vitality. The aim of the research is to compare the vitality of the Hungarian and
Ruthenian national minorities, as the representatives of the most numerous and one
of the least numerous Vojvodinian minorities. As the Hungarian minority is much
more numerous, and has lived here for much longer, the main hypothesis of the
present research is that its vitality will be higher. The Beliefs on Ethnolinguistic
Vitality Questionnaire (BEVQ) was used in the research.
The results of 84 participants in this study, native speakers of Hungarian,
were compared with the results of 62 native speakers of Ruthenian. The comparison
of the available resources for the Serbian language and the two minority languages
through 8 different scales has shown more even scores among the Hungarian
minority, which speaks in favor of the initial hypothesis.

Key words: ethnolinguistic vitality, Hungarians, Ruthenians, Vojvodina.

A RECURRING QUESTION: IS THERE A HUNGARIAN LITERATURE IN


VOJVODINA? THE IDENTITY CRISES OF HUNGARIAN LITERARY CULTURE IN
VOJVODINA AT THE TURN OF THE 20TH/21ST CENTURY

The existence and identity of Hungarian literature in Yugoslavia, which


emerged in 1918, have been continuously traumatized by the ongoing questioning of
its existence to this day. Can we speak of an independent, unique path of Hungarian
literature in Yugoslavia, or should we merely regard it as a regional branch of
Hungarian literature in Hungary? The continuous migrations, arrivals, and
departures of Hungarian writers, poets, and artists in Vojvodina, alongside the
prevailing literary-political backdrop, significantly contribute to the identity crises of
the early periods. In the 1990s, under the shadow of the Yugoslav wars, Hungarian
literature in Vojvodina showed signs of crisis. The traumas caused by war and
emigration have led to the opinion that Hungarian literature in Vojvodina has ceased
to exist. At the beginning of the 21st century, Ottó Fenyvesi's poetry book "Reading

DIGITAL HUMANITIES: LINGUISTICS IN QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH ON


MORALITY

Studies of morality started thousands of years ago and developed a wide


variety of qualitative methods for analyzing human nature. After the division of
sciences, practical methodology was delegated to psychology, sociology, and political
science, making significant progress in explaining human behavior. Although these
evolutionary and revolutionary methods have emerged for the analysis and
explanation of morality, there has been limited access to its description, primarily
due to the lack of qualitative methods in ethics.
The evolution of these methods is firstly due to the advancement of
computer technology, but additionally largely to the work of linguists. Thanks to
linguistics, it has become possible to work with any form and type of text. This work
includes stylistics, synonyms and antonyms, grammar, and word formation. Morality
has a well-shaped discourse ready to be analyzed and integrated into qualitative
methodology by linguists. This interdisciplinary collaboration between linguistics
and ethics will ultimately be able to define morally significant opinions. These
opinions, in turn, will be significant in other spheres, such as pedagogy, marketing,
social work, and international relations.

Key words: linguistics, computer technology, digital humanities, morality.

NAMES OF MUSHROOMS IN VUK'S SERBIAN DICTIONARIES FROM 1818, 1852, AND


1898

This paper is the result of a meticulous analysis of mushroom names in three


editions of Vuk's Serbian Dictionaries: the first from 1818, the second from 1852, and the
third edition from 1898, which was corrected and revised based on the additions Vuk
made in his copy of the second edition. The material for this research includes a total of
29 names of mushrooms, which are examined for their lexicographic treatment and any
potential differences between the editions, such as in terms of identification (especially in
the third edition, where scientific names of mushrooms were added in square brackets
thanks to Ž. Jurišić) and geographical markers or dialectal notes, which indicate the area
of usage. The second edition contains a significantly larger lexical material collected from
various regions, resulting in 13 more mushroom names than the first edition, which
includes 15 names of mushrooms. The paper also raises the question of which folk names
Vuk did not record, which has been confirmed in descriptive and dialectal dictionaries to
date.

POLITICS AND PHILOSOPHY FOR CHILDREN

The crucial moment for establishing the idea of philosophy for children, or
philosophy with children, lies in Lipman’s concept of the “community of philosophical
inquiry.” As an educational and pedagogical model, it is based on the idea of radical
equality among all participants. This equality primarily manifests as equal
epistemological authority between the teacher and the learner. However, even though
this model primarily serves an educational function, the idea of such a community reflects
a projection of the corresponding social reality and desirable political principles that the
educational system should support and nurture. Therefore, the community of

32
The Thirteenth International Interdisciplinary
Symposium Encounter of Cultures
Faculty of Philosophy, University of Novi Sad
2 December 2024

philosophical inquiry should be both a genuine place of learning and exploration and a
projection of a society characterized by radical equality as a desirable social reality. In this
work, we explore the relationship between these two levels of meaning regarding the
principle of equality that underpins the concept of the “community of philosophical
inquiry,” connecting Lipman’s idea and its implicit political framework with Rancière’s
and Freire’s understanding of the broader educational political context.

Key words: Community of Philosophical Inquiry, Equality, Rancière, Freire.

EXPLORING THE BODY AND THE FEMININE: A PATHOGRAPHIC AND


INTERSECTIONAL READING OF JUDITA ŠALGO'S POETRY

Judita Šalgo (1941-1996) was one of the most significant Serbian, Hungarian,
Vojvodinian, and Yugoslav avant-garde writers. Her confessional poetry is
characterized by a hybridization of forms and the influence of visual, conceptual, and
performance art. Many of her poetic works - poems, fragments, projects, cycles,
micro-essays, and short stories - focus on descriptions of the body and bodily
processes, as well as various pathological states: illness, anxiety, and unrest.
This paper examines the interpretation of body and corporeality in the
collections 67 Minutes Aloud (1980) and Life on the Table (1986). The research will
offer a pathographic and intersectional reading of Judita Šalgo's poetry, followed by
an overview of her encyclopedic treatment of various elements of corporality and an
interpretation of the relationship between the author's formal experiments and the
theme of the body and the corporeal.

STYLISTIC READING OF THE AMERICAN DREAM MYTH IN MARSHA NORMAN'S


‘NIGHT, MOTHER

Marsha Norman’s play ‘night, Mother (1981) addresses, among other things,
destructive aspects of the American Dream myth in American art media and popular
culture. In order to call into question the sustainability of the unnegotiable social
equality as well as the unnegotiable pursuit of material wealth inherent in the
American Dream myth, the utopianism of which was indicated by its very creator
James Truslow Adams, Marsha Norman depicts the broken-down nucleus family
structure by using different modes of minus-positions as the manifestations of the
failed American Dream.
By applying Marina Katnić-Bakaršić’s theory on the stylistics of drama
discourse to Norman’s play ‘night, Mother, this paper aims to explore stylistic
strategies used to create various aspects of the failed American Dream as well as the
possible impact of their textual meaning on the depiction of the problems arising
from the individual-society-culture interrelationship.

THE GREEK PRESS ABOUT THE MURDER OF PRINCE MIHAILO

The murder of Serbian Prince Mihajlo Obrenović was considered a serious


event by the Greek press. The press closely followed the incident and its aftermath as
much as possible. Telegrams from Belgrade and the capitals of major European
powers were published, and in the first days reactions in Greece and in other
European countries were documented. The Greek press, despite its interest in the
murder, didn’t manage to take a completely unified stance in the way it reacted to this
event. Some newspapers preferred to continue with a simple record of events, while
others specifically dealt with the question of who killed the prince and who was
behind the murder (both within and beyond the borders of Serbia). For the Greek
press, the assassination was a very serious setback to the developing diplomatic
relations between the Balkan states and, in particular, to the prospect of an anti-

SEX, LIES & INTENSIFIERS: A CORPUS-PRAGMATIC ANALYSIS OF


SENSATIONALIST LANGUAGE FEATURES IN NEWSPAPER HEADLINES

This paper examines the features of sensationalist language in online


celebrity magazines. With the development of digital media and the emergence of
new funding models for news portals (where click=money), the informative
function of newspaper headlines has taken a backseat, while the pragmatic
function of attracting reader attention has become paramount. In the digital
environment, the consumption and dissemination of news are changing, leading
to the development of new cognitive reading styles. Consequently, sensationalism
in headlines is taking on new forms, and new linguistic strategies for attracting
clicks are emerging. This paper is dedicated to the corpus analysis of linguistic
features of headlines from the Serbian magazine Hello! In a corpus of 500
headline examples, the features and functions of sensationalist language are
analyzed: i.e., forms of addressing, the use of imperatives, expressive vocabulary,
intensifiers, idioms, and means of creating information gaps.

ON MEANING AND CONCEPTUALIZATION OF DEVERBAL NOUNS

In this paper we described some semantic characteristics of deverbal nouns


that differ from each other according to the degree of presence of noun and verb
categorical properties (nouns such as question, support, attention, trust, etc.). The
aim of the paper is to analyze analytical predicates formed with these nouns to point
out the ways of conceptualizing the action, feelings or psychophysiological states
marked by them in the contemporary Serbian language. Analytical predicates are
seen as conceptual metaphors, and the analysis of their source and target domains

should contribute to a more precise categorization of the nouns themselves, thus


their lexicographic description, but also to learning the Serbian language as a foreign
or second language.

Key words: deverbal nouns, meaning, conceptualization, metaphor, Serbian language.

THE ROLE OF LANGUAGE COMPETENCE AND SOCIOCULTURAL FACTORS IN


STUDENTS' PARTICIPATION IN INTERNATIONAL MOBILITY PROGRAMS

Student mobility programs represent one of the most important aspects


of the internationalization of university, and the entire country. The paper
presents the results of a research on the attitudes of students at the University of
Novi Sad regarding their participation in international mobility programs,
analyzing the role of the level of English language competence as one of the key
factors for applying to these programs. There is a special emphasis on the social
and cultural aspects of using English for the purpose of attending classes and
participating in all other academic activities at a foreign university, as well as for
living in a foreign environment. The results are based on the statistical analysis of
quantitative data collected through a questionnaire that was created for the
purpose of this research and provide insight into whether students consider their
knowledge of English adequate for participation in mobility, as well a s to what
extent sociocultural factors (integration into the international academic
community, getting to know cultures) play a role in their willingness to
participate. The obtained results provide pedagogical implications in the form of
guidelines for innovating the content of English courses at the university.

Key words: student mobility, language competence, cultural factors.

THE -FLATION BLEND FRAGMENT AS A SOURCE OF LEXICAL INNOVATION AND


CREATIVITY IN ENGLISH

It has been demonstrated that blends can be a significant source of


innovation in English lexical formation, contributing novel lexical elements to the
language. Typically, these new lexical elements originate as splinters, i.e., the part of a
source word that is retained in a blend, and are then reused in the formation of other
words as ready-made elements, undergoing the process of morphemization along the
way (e.g., -nomics as in coronanomics, -gasm as in yogasm or -splain(ing) as in
whitesplaining). In this paper, we explore the emergence of a relatively recent
combining form, -flation, evidenced in new words in English such as shrinkflation,
gradeflation or Bidenflation, using the material collected by querying the iWeb
Corpus (Davies, 2018) and the NOW Corpus (Davies, 2016–). We discuss some
aspects of the formation of -flation coinages, classify the possible meanings of -flation
in such new creations, and describe the process of analogy that these forms seem to
have undergone. Our hypothesis is that the -flation combining form, by means of
metaphorical and metonymic transfers, has extended its meaning beyond the original
sense of inflation as “a continuing rise in the general level of prices“.

Key words: lexical innovation, lexical blend, word formation, neologisms, English.

INCLUSION AS A “CULTURE” OF PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT AND LEARNING OF


THE GIFTED

The focus of the paper is on the question of how to encourage the gifted in an
inclusive framework, which is the basic determination of our educational system?
More specifically, is inclusion an optimal framework for the learning and
development of the gifted, how does it fit with the measures of the education of the
gifted, and how are the support measures implemented within the heterogeneous
group of the gifted? Not disputing the advantages of an inclusive approach, but
recognizing the fact that it often does not give satisfactory results in practice, it is
recommended to improve inclusive practice as the primary mode of education for the
gifted, while fostering special programs and institutions as additional support for the
development of giftedness. It is concluded that the measures of gifted education have
enough variants to be adapted to the inclusive framework, and that the principle of
inclusion is flexible enough to include all measures of gifted education. In this sense,
the importance of differentiation and individualization as mechanisms of gifted
education in the regular school context, which enable different students to be worked
with differently, is highlighted.

Key words: inclusion, giftedness, differentiation, individualization.

THE WEAKNESS OF THE CONCEPT OF ITALIANNESS

Under the effects of the migration crisis, ongoing international war conflicts
and political and economic instability, we are witnessing a regurgitation of the cult of
homeland and the myth of nation in the public discourses of modern-day Italy. In
addition to being the result of essentially demagogic rhetoric, the current exaltation
of the nation is the indicator of a widespread state of mind of the large portion of the
population, which represents something new in a country which has not shown any
propensity for the themes of patriotism and national unity. The premise of this paper
is that the national rhetoric in today's Italy does not have deep roots in or depend on
the firm convictions of those who adopt it, but stems from the ambiguity and

38

weakness of the concept of Italianness. This issue poses a question that is not easy to
answer, namely: why Italianness is not a solid concept in Italy?

TEACHERS’ PEDAGOGICAL DEVELOPMENT IN HIGHER EDUCATION:


OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVING TEACHING PRACTICES

Pedagogical competencies of university teachers and enhancing teaching are


becoming increasingly significant for further development of the European Higher
Education Area. The aim of the paper is to analyze current trends in higher
educational policies, as well as to highlight the diversity of practices in different
European countries regarding the development of university teachers’ pedagogical
competencies. The aim is also to present the modalities of teacher training in various
European countries, focusing on aspects such as the issue of obligation, the role of the
state and/or higher education institutions, conditions for career advancement, as
well as the obstacles and opportunities in their implementation. The paper also
points out current trends in improving university teaching in Serbia through the
analysis of educational policy documents, while the conclusions emphasize the need
for university teachers in our country to enhance their skills in managing the teaching
process.

Key words: pedagogical development, higher educational policy, teachers.

ABBREVIATIONS IN SLOVAK AND SERBIAN

In this work, we analyze abbreviations in two Slavic languages, Slovak and


Serbian. Since the members of the Slovak national community in Vojvodina use both
Slovak and Serbian simultaneously, instances of interference occur when writing in
these two languages. In each of the listed languages certain spelling rules apply when
writing abbreviations.

39
The Thirteenth International Interdisciplinary
Symposium Encounter of Cultures
Faculty of Philosophy, University of Novi Sad

Abbreviations and fixed expressions are commonly used in writing to save


space. According to their origin and the way of formation, we can classify them into
several groups: general abbreviations (which are made by shortening a single word
or multiple words), abbreviations for units of measurement and general international
abbreviations, versal abbreviations, verbalized abbreviations. Some abbreviations
begin with lowercase letters, while others start with capital letters; some require a
period at the end, while others do not. These conventions differ between the two
languages. In our work, the starting language is Slovak and we provide parallel
examples of the corresponding abbreviations in Serbian.

Key words: abbreviation, capital letter, small letter, period.

THE SERBIAN PRESS ABOUT THE LEADER OF SLOVAKS IN VOJVODINA ĽUDOVÍT


MIČÁTEK (1874 – 1928) AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 20TH CENTURY

The multi-faceted national-political, educational and literary-publicistic


activities of the Mičátek family members are a rare part of the history of Slovaks in
Vojvodina, but despite that, they have been little researched. The aim of this research
was to find out to what extent the Serbian press at the beginning of the 20th century
followed the public activities of Ľudovít Mičátek, a prominent politician, editor,
publisher, publicist and lawyer. The research results show that the Serbian press
(Застава, Време, Правда) recorded the relevant periods of his political activity.
Special attention was given to his political engagement and participation in the pre-
election campaigns of deputies in the Kulpín electoral district for the Hungarian
Parliament in 1905, which made a great contribution to the improvement of Serbian-
Slovak relations. The Serbian press continued to follow his political activity in the
newly created state of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes in the 1920s.
Finally, obituaries from 1928 provide summary information about Ľudovít Mičátek as
an organizer of the political, cultural and economic life of the Lowland Slovaks before
and after the coup.

Key words: Ľudovít Mičátek, Slovaks in Vojvodina, Serbian-Slovak ties, 20 century.

THE IMPACT OF SCHOOL CULTURE ON STUDENTS' EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES

The concept of school culture encompasses numerous elements, including


values, customs, and norms. Defined in this way, the aforementioned concept shapes
the educational experience and influences students' educational outcomes. In this
paper, emphasis is placed on studying the complex relationship between school
culture and students' educational outcomes. Special attention is given to the factors
that influence the formation of school culture, as well as strategies for promoting a
positive culture within the school community. Different aspects of school culture and
their role in shaping an environment that supports and/or restricts student
achievement are highlighted. Through theoretical analysis, the paper emphasizes the
mechanisms by which school culture affects student learning, their behavior, and the
overall educational experience. An analysis of selected literature allows us to
conclude that understanding and integrating cultural elements into the educational
process potentially contributes to the more complete achievement of students'
educational outcomes and the creation of a supportive school environment.

Key words: school culture, students' educational outcomes, academic success.

MUSIC IN THE MEDIA - ANALYTICAL ASPECTS OF THE MUSICAL CONTENT

In contemporary media, music is followed through the focus of


multimodality, which is confirmed through the stimulation of interactive processes
and mediation in the realization of communication. Multimodal, it is comprehensible
through image, sound and word, but also through any information that comes from
the non-musical spectrum of meaning. The study seeks to assess the extent to which
music as a popular musical content changes and is shaped according to modern
media requirements. The goal is to determine the aspects according to which the
musical content can be viewed through the vertical and horizontal analytical levels.
Comprehension of musical content by vertical analysis is followed through image,
sound, word and non-musical information. Horizontal analysis determines aspects
concerning the socio-political, cultural and economic dimensions of its influence. The

41

research is based on a sociolinguistic theoretical approach, which sets up a


theoretical framework relevant for future studies of music as an inseparable part of
contemporary media content.

SYNONYMY IN SERBIAN SPORTS TERMINOLOGY EXEMPLIFIED BY A NEW


ENGLISH-SERBIAN DICTIONARY OF SPORTS TERMS

The research aims to analyze synonymy in English-based sports terminology


in Serbian using the corpus of A New English-Serbian Dictionary of Sports Terms
(Milić, Panić Kavgić, Kardoš 2021). The findings indicate that synonyms fall into two
categories: (a) those borrowed from English into Serbian and (b) variant adapted
forms of an English term in Serbian. Further division depends on the descriptive
meaning that is either the same or partly different. The former manifests additional
differentiation due to arousing different associations, added implications, and
collocational restrictions, and the latter includes hypo-synonyms that, in addition to
somewhat different descriptive meanings, may also be stylistically marked or subject
to collocational restrictions. From the user-friendliness aspect, the former category of
synonyms is identified directly via meaning labels attached to the Serbian terms, or
indirectly through cross-references, which does not hold for the latter category.

Key words: synonymy, terminology, sport, English, Serbian, dictionary.

THE IMPACT OF MODAL FLAVOR ON THE CHOICE OF COMPLEMENT TYPE IN


SERBIAN

The paper investigates to what extent the semantics of the modal verb
morati ‘must, have to’ influences the choice of the finite (da+present construction

42
The Thirteenth International Interdisciplinary
Symposium Encounter of Cultures
Faculty of Philosophy, University of Novi Sad

(DPC) or non-finite (infinitive) complement in Serbian. The role of modal flavor on


the complement variation has been observed in the literature (cf. Moskovljević 1936,
Brozović 1953, Kovačević et al. 2018), albeit without proper empirical support. We
offer quantitative data (400 randomly selected concordance lines from the Serbian
Web Corpus (srWaC)), regarding the correlation of modal flavor (following von Fintel
2006) and complement type. The data points to a preference for DPC complements
with circumstantial modality (66.19%), whereas INF complements are preferred with
other modal flavors (deontic - 61.7%, bouletic - 53.7%, teleological - 56.2%). Clearly,
modal flavor can impact the complement choice, but it is not the only linguistic factor
in the variation. We address other semantic factors, most notably, the role of animacy.

Key words: modal flavor, finite and non-finite complements, variation.

PROJECT WOMEN’S MOVEMENT 2020 (1920–1938): PERIODICAL STUDIES AND


DIGITAL HUMANITIES

The presentation will present the Women's Movement 2020 project, which
was implemented at the Institute of Literature and Art within the department
specialized in the study of periodicals. The project was launched on the occasion of
the anniversary: one hundred years of the founding and publishing of the first issue of
the Women's Movement magazine (1920–1938). It is the first Yugoslav feminist
magazine, as well as the longest-running interwar feminist periodical. The project
involved several stages: 1) preparation of the journal bibliography; 2) digitalization
of the journal corpus; 3) the organization of an international scientific meeting
dedicated to this journal; 4) publication of collection of papers from the meeting; 5)
creation of a website dedicated to the magazine and the project
(www.zenskipokret.org). The relationship between periodical studies and digital
humanities will be considered in the example of this project, and the presentation will
also show the challenges and advantages of connection between digital space and
analog materials.

IMAGE OF SERBIAN IDENTITY IN THE MEDIA

Three conditions are necessary for the existence of a state: territory,


language and citizens. In order to unite those elements into a cohesive unit, it is
necessary to develop an image of a common identity through myths and narratives in
which (almost) all citizens will believe. Since the Serbian people are the most
numerous in Serbia, they form the essence of the country's identity, which is
established in the language and narrative structures in public discourse. The media,
as a universal means of communication for all members of the community, have a
role in shaping, spreading and consolidating the image of Serbian identity in the
current moment of time. In the proposed work, it will be analysed how dominant
narratives about Serbian identity are depicted in the media and with which images
this is achieved. The intended sample will enable an overview of several important
topics covered in multiple print, online and broadcasting media during one month in
2024. Discursive analysis will be applied to such a sample.

MEDIEVAL CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL CONTEXTS AND INTERCONNECTIONS


IN GIOVANNI VILLANI'S LITERARY WORK NUOVA CRONICA

When it comes to the medieval Italian literary tradition, it is certain that a


special place belongs to the chronicle by Giovanni Villani, who was a 14th-century
Florentine chronicler known for his work Nuova Cronica, which represents one of the
most important sources for studying the history of Florence and Italy during the
Middle Ages. The narrative framework of the medieval chronicle, which is present in
Villani's work, allows for a more complex understanding of the culture and society of
Florence during that period, when the merchant class, which was rising on the social
value scale, significantly influenced not only the strengthening of economic ties but
also cultural ones. Speaking of the literary-historical context, one can observe the
author's great skill in narrating the interweaving of cultural and historical elements
in the vernacular Italian language, skillfully organized in chronological order and
divided into multiple volumes and chapters. The aim of our research is to analyze
certain parts of the mentioned chronicle to contribute to a better understanding of
this literary work, which represents a valuable source for studying the medieval

44

cultural and historical context of Florence and broader Italy, providing a detailed and

SEMANTIC ANNOTATION OF THE DIGITAL EDITION OF VUK ST. KARADŽIĆ’S


SERBIAN FOLK PROVERBS: WORKFLOW, CHALLENGES AND POSSIBLE
SOLUTIONS

There is an ongoing project at the Department of Digitization of the Institute


for the Serbian Language of SASA aimed at publishing a digital edition of Vuk St.
Karadžić’s Serbian Folk Proverbs. In this paper, we will be dealing with challenges we
have faced during the semantic annotation of the text in the program Oxygen. Words
were assigned a corresponding semantic tag and a standardized Ekavian base form
(for maximal searchability). We aim to present the dilemmas that have emerged and
offer solutions, for example, associating particular word types with a corresponding
semantic field, e.g. in the case of the verbs of destruction (ударити, убити etc.), as
well as the annotation of the words that correlate with multiple fields, e.g. the
adjectives referring to one’s psychological or physical impairment or illness (слијеп,
луд), together with the annotation of verbs and adjectives that can be attributed to
both people and animals and sometimes even objects (млад, дебео, заспати, јести).

COMPETENCE

Based on the limited number of scholarly papers and empirical evidence on


the connection between images and foreign language learning, as well as between
images and the development of intercultural competence in foreign language
instruction, this paper aims to highlight this under-researched aspect of language
didactics. Through an analysis of approved textbooks for learning German as a

45
The Thirteenth International Interdisciplinary
Symposium Encounter of Cultures

foreign language at levels A1 to B1, the didactic potential of images is explored for
fostering intercultural awareness and visual literacy among students. The results
indicate that iconic elements serve not only as aids in the process of learning the
vocabulary but also as a means to enhance intercultural competence. Interpreting
iconic elements is considered an essential need of today's visual generation.
Pedagogical implications include offering strategies for working with visual materials
in foreign language instruction, facilitating the acquisition of content related to the
target language culture, thus systematically contributing to the development of
students' visual literacy and deeper understanding of global cultures.

Key words: learning German, iconic elements, textbooks, intercultural competence.

ON NON-VERBAL EUPHEMISMS AND TABOOS IN GERMAN AND SERBIAN

This paper deals with the various forms of non-verbal euphemisms and
taboos in German and Serbian. The aim is to list all occurrence variants in both
languages, then to classify and analyze them, and finally, by using the contrastive
method, to compare them. The results show that we prefer to react to non-verbal
taboos with non-verbal euphemisms, such as a certain facial expression, a special
posture and gesture, as well as behaviors, such as silence. The interlingual
comparison suggests that there are many similarities between German and Serbian
due to the same or similar cognitive cultural models. The results are intended to help
improve intercultural understanding, since the ability to know and recognize verbal
and non-verbal euphemisms and taboos is an important prerequisite for successful
intercultural communication.

Key words: euphemisms, taboos, non-verbal, German, Serbian.

THE TECHNIQUE OF CREATIVE SELF-CONFESSION AS A REFLECTION OF FORCED


CULTURAL INFLUENCE – AUTOFICTIONALITY IN DYING IN TORONTO BY DAŠA
DRNDIĆ

In the genre-diverse book Dying in Toronto by Croatian writer Daša Drndić,


the refugee experience is thematized, continuously and timelessly / still relevant,
using a specific technique based on the intertwining of personal, fictional, and factual
elements. The work will highlight this narrative collage that plays a formative identity
function (for both individuals and the collective). This approach not only illuminates
the text’s therapeutic role but also depicts integration into a multicultural
environment and reflects a model of culture. Additionally, the paper will demonstrate
how Dying in Toronto represents autofiction, using it as the dominant narrative-
shaping technique to express the complexity of the exile experience and identity
issues.

TASTE NAMES INCORPORATED IN PLANT NAMES IN HUNGARIAN AND SERBIAN

This paper deals with taste names incorporated in plant names in Hungarian
and Serbian. Plant names make a very heterogeneous group of names, regardless of
the language we talk about. The aim of the paper is to discover the way how the two
considered languages construct the names of plants, in what proportion these names
contain taste names and which tastes are preferred among them. Naturally, in this

47

phase we are going to use contrastive methods. The corpus of research is being
gathered from various dictionaries and websites in both languages. Then the
collected material will be analyzed. Besides contrastive methods, lexical,
morphological, and syntactic analyses will also be applied. Hypothesis: the sweet
taste incorporated in plant names will be found in the highest proportion in both
languages; the second most frequent taste will be bitter; other taste names should be
comparatively rare.

Key words: names of tastes, names of plants, Hungarian language, Serbian language.

GREEN URBANISM AND CULTURAL DYNAMICS: CAN CREATING A NEW CULTURE


FROM WITHIN FOSTER GREEN CITY DEVELOPMENT IN DEVELOPING
COUNTRIES?

This paper explores the mutual influence of green urbanism and cultural
dynamics, focusing on the potential for encouraging the development of green cities
in developing countries by creating new culture within the local communities. Green
urbanism emphasizes sustainable city planning practices, including energy efficiency,
renewable resources, and integration of green areas. The success of such initiatives
often depends on cultural acceptance and local engagement. The challenge lies in
harmonizing green urbanism with existing cultural norms and values in developing
countries, where traditional practices and fast urbanization coexist. This study
examines cities that have successfully applied the principles of green urbanism by
encouraging the culture of sustainability from within. By analyzing cultural barriers
and factors that facilitate the development of green cities, we provide insight into
how cultural dynamics can be used to support sustainable urban transformation. The
research shows that creating a new culture of sustainability within communities is
crucial for the long-term success of green urbanism in developing countries.
Strategies such as inclusive urban planning, culturally sensitive policies, and local
environmental movements are essential for nurturing this culture. We claim that a
synergistic approach combining green urbanism with cultural innovation has
significant potential for the sustainable development of cities in developing countries.

Key words: Green cities, cultural transformation, community, sustainability.

NEOLIBERALISM, HYPER-INDIVIDUALISM, NEOCONSERVATIVISM AND


IDENTITY POLITICS

The author problematizes the issue of political interaction within the existing
neoliberal order, examining the concepts of neoliberalism, hyper-individualism and
neoconservativism (as the foundation of neoliberal ideology), and identity politics (as
specific manifestation of neoliberalism in politics). The presentation particularly
analyzes the concept of individualism, namely the transformation of this concept into
hyper-individualism under the influence of neoliberal theory and practice. Neoliberal
capitalism promotes the figure of the entrepreneur - an independent contractor -
reducing all human relations to market relations. The author also explores the
seemingly opposing poles of identity politics, examining their origins, characteristics,
meaning, and role within the neoliberal consensus. Although different identity
politics may have antagonistic relations, they do not fundamentally challenge the
existing socio-economic order because issues related to the relationship between
labor and capital and economic exploitation remain beyond their scope.

Key words: neoliberalism, hyper-individualism, identity politics.

A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE DEMOGRAPHIC HISTORY OF BAČKA AND BANAT IN


THE 18TH CENTURY. MIGRATIONS, COLONIZATION, I.E. THE CO-EXISTENCE OF
ETHNIC COMMUNITIES IN THE FORMER SOUTHERN HUNGARY

The demographic map of the Kingdom of Hungary changed drastically after


the Treaties of Karlowitz and Passarowitz (1699, 1718). On the one hand, the period
of Ottoman rule in the former Hungary ended, and on the other hand, the Habsburg
dynasty united the entire kingdom. However, the series of Ottoman wars had not yet
ended (1737-1739, 1788-1791), and the demographically destroyed regions of
today's Bačka and Banat had to be "revived" and included in the economy of the
Hungarian and Habsburg Monarchies. That was the reason for securing new borders,
and administration, economy, agriculture and manufacturing had to be organized.
However, it was not easy for Vienna to integrate this area with the barren, marshy,
and uncultivable land of southern Hungary. The topic in this paper will be the
demographic history of Southern Hungary in the period between 1699 and 1792. The
focus of attention will be the migration and colonization of nations (Serbs, Germans,

1) its purpose; 2) a form of residence; 3) the spatial distribution of similar units and
4) its shape. Accordingly, the following aspects of the conceptualization of the
analyzed lexeme can be distinguished: 1) a structure/receptacle built by birds to
raise their offspring; 2) habitat for animals during the winter; 3) a place of residence
(house/home); 4) a secret shelter/meeting place of a certain group of people; 5) an
animal family; 6) a human family; 7) a group of fungi, plants or some of their parts; 8)
a set of similar items; 9) a receptacle resembling a nest; 10) cover/trench; 11) place
for sowing/planting. The noun гнездо thus is a member of strings of synonymous
lexemes dominated by different superordinates (e.g. жилище, углубление). Its
collocability, the phraseological units in which it occurs, as well as the examples of its
use show that this lexeme also includes components of meaning that express a
person's positive or negative attitude towards the denotatum (e.g. родное гнездо;
свить себе гнездо; воровское гнездо).

Key words: the concept of гнездо 'nest', Russian, cognitive-semantic analysis.

PESSIMISTIC CONSIDERATION OF HUMAN EXISTENCE - CIORAN'S WORKS


TRANSLATED FROM FRENCH INTO SERBIAN

Emil Cioran is a well-known French philosopher and essayist of Romanian


origin who wrote part of his works in Romanian. When he moved to France due to the

50
The Thirteenth International Interdisciplinary
Symposium Encounter of Cultures
Faculty of Philosophy, University of Novi Sad
2 December 2024

political situation in his country, he began writing in French, which led to a change in
his way of thinking. Upon moving to Paris, Emil Cioran became apolitical but also
despondent. There, he learned the French language, in which he would write all his
most important works. This paper examines Cioran's understanding of human
existence and the "trouble of being born" through several works translated from
French into Serbian: "A Short History of Decay," "The Trouble with Being Born," "The
New Gods," "The Fall into Time," and "Tears and Saints." His reflections on the nature
of human suffering, meaninglessness, and decadence prompt deeper contemplation
of life and the world around us. Although his philosophy is imbued with pessimism,
central themes include alienation, absurdity, boredom, futility, decay, the tyranny of
history, the vulgarity of change, consciousness as agony, and reason as disease. The
aim of this paper is to present Cioran's nihilistic views on existence and his
reflections on themes such as the inevitability of death, internal suicide, distrust, and
repulsion towards life, which stem from his vision of reality and a tragic sense, in his
works translated from French into Serbian.
Key words: mil Cioran, existence, death, time, pessimism, translated works.

A BLUEPRINT FOR A PRACTICAL HANDBOOK FOR TRUE TRANSLATORS:


THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS

In this paper a blueprint is presented for A Practical Handbook for True


Translators, for which a crying need is felt in this country. Conceived as a joint project

51
The Thirteenth International Interdisciplinary
Symposium Encounter of Cultures
Faculty of Philosophy, University of Novi Sad
2 December 2024

by leading domestic experts in the theory, practice, teaching and criticism of


translation, the Handbook would be the main domestic source of theoretical
knowledge and practical skills relating to translation from and into English paired
with Serbian and other first and foreign languages in Serbia. Intended for
professional training of future translators, above all in university courses, the
Handbook would serve as a comprehensive guide to the entire process of translation
and provide current theoretical insights into relevant phenomena at all stages of well-
thought-out written, spoken and machine translation of all kinds of texts, and useful,
first-hand and easily applied practical tips. In the first part of the paper, a clarification
of the Handbook’s title and a statement of its theoretical foundations are offered, and
in the second, general and particular topics to be addressed in individual chapters of
the Handbook, via appropriate insights, tips and exercises, are introduced and
explained.

Key words: practical handbook, true translators, training, English.

CULTURE-SPECIFIC ITEMS IN TRAVEL LANGUAGE AND TRANSLATION: A


CONTRASTIVE ANALYSIS OF TRAVEL BROCHURES TRANSLATED FROM SERBIAN
INTO ENGLISH

Translation has always had a pivotal role in navigating and reconciling the
differences between two languages and two cultures, with the objective of reaching
diverse audiences worldwide. The aim of this paper is to explore translation solutions
used in translating culture-specific items in the genre of marketing texts. The so
called culture-specific items (CSI) represent quite a challenge for both translation
theory and practise for several reasons. In the first place, given the broad and elusive
definitions of culture, it is not easy to determine the scope of the domains related to
culture, and hence, to categorize culture-specific items that need to be dealt with in
practice. This qualitative analysis is corpus based and it includes the translation of a
travel brochure 52 Weekends in Serbia, published by the National Tourist
Organization and aimed at promoting the tourist potential of Serbia. In the paper we
will try to explore some specific translation techniques applied in the translation and
identify the criteria the translators used while determining culture-specific items.
The results of the study will give a better insight into the role of the translator in the
whole process and the ways culture-specific-items are translated.

Key words: Culture-specific items, translation strategies, travel brochure

SHADOWS AND SILENCES OF THE BALKANS: MYTH AND POST-MEMORY IN THE


CONTEMPORARY SEE NOVEL

Post-memory, as defined by Marianne Hirsch, refers to the way in which the


trauma of previous generations is transmitted to younger generations through
collective cultural and political narratives without the direct experience of the trauma
itself. This paper looks into the fictions of the 2020s which deal with the collective
past traumas, the roles of shadows and silences in these representations rising as
residues of myths, as magic realist elements, and as the unravelings of the real,
aiming to establish how it all contributes to the construction of postmemory. The core
of the study is dedicated to the in-depth analysis of selected literary works Georgi
Gospodinov’s Time Shelter (winner of the 2023 International Booker Prize), Mirjana
Drljević’s Nobody is forgotten and there’s nothing we remember (shortlisted for NIN
award in 2023) and Pajtim Statovci’s Bolla (Finlandia Literary Prize 2019). The
analysis will further focus on the comparison of how the novels approach the place of
myth in the portrayal of mental health issues and its relationship to post-memory, the
possible differences in representation across countries, ethnicities, and time periods
and the potential for cultural products to promote healing and reconciliation.

Key words: post-memory, myth in fiction, magic realism.

RELATION BETWEEN AESTHETICS AND POLITICS REFLECTED THROUGH THE


CONCEPT OF ENGAGED ART

The author aims to clarify the fundamental points of the relation between
aesthetics and politics reflected through the concept of engaged art. In addition to
the thematization of several relevant authors who dealt with the concept of engaged
art, such as Sartre and Rancier, the relation between politics and art through eras
predating the modern concept of engagement is also examined. From ancient
conceptions to contemporary thematizations of the relation between political content
and artistic form, it will be shown that the practice of engaged art existed long before
the term was established, as well as that authors in the ancient era already gained
important insights into the dimensions and possibilities that art offers. Plato's harsh
attitude towards art that is not under political control will be able to be placed in
dialogue with Rancière's idea of the emancipated viewer, despite the historical,
terminological and cultural distance between these two conceptions. Finally, the

53

significance and possibility of the artistic form for political content in the
contemporary era will be pointed out.

THE ROLE OF MISSIONARIES OF THE RHENISH MISSIONARY SOCIETY IN THE


PROCESS OF COLONIZATION OF GERMAN SOUTH-WEST AFRICA

The Rhenish Missionary Society carefully collected ethno-anthropological


material about the people living in the areas that the German Empire would colonize
and call German Southwest Africa. German missionary stations developed soon after
their establishment into centers of power and were places both for teaching the
natives and for exchanging goods. Over time, the missionary-Christian campaign
turned into the backbone of the colonial conquest, not only due to the direct
involvement of German missionaries in the military-political situation in the colony,
but also due to the active construction of a largely negative image of Africans through
the reports they sent to the homeland. Relying on (post)colonial theory and few
historical and ethnographic sources, the paper will investigate the role of German
missionaries in the process of colonization of German Southwest Africa and the
implementation of genocide against the Herero, Nama, Damara and San tribes (1904-
1908).

Key words: Rhenish Missionary Society, German South-West Africa, colonization.

BIBLICAL IDIOMS IN GERMAN, SERBIAN AND HUNGARIAN

The paper analyzes German, Serbian and Hungarian idioms of biblical origin
from the aspect of cognitive and contrastive linguistics. Although biblical idioms
serve as carriers of cultural heritage, they can be found not only in literature, but also
in everyday communication. The corpus will be excerpted from appropriate
monolingual and bilingual dictionaries of the mentioned languages. The researched
material will be subjected to conceptual and then contrastive analysis, with the aim of
determining the most numerous concepts, their structure and cognitive mechanisms

54

responsible for their creation. In other words, conceptual metaphor and metonymy
will be postulated in the excerpted idioms, i.e. the semantic transposition will be
shown within the concepts. In addition, the aim of the paper is to determine and
describe contrastive similarities and differences, and then to try to establish whether
the differences are culturally determined, where the source language is German and
the target languages are Serbian and Hungarian.

Key words: biblical idioms, contrastive approach, metaphor and metonymy.

POPULAR CULTURE REFERENCES IN HIGH-SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY TEXTBOOKS


IN SERBIA

Popular culture references can be used in philosophy classes to make


abstract contents more approachable and concrete for students. A content analysis
conducted on the complete sample of approved high-school philosophy textbooks in
Serbia in 2024 identified 120 instances of popular culture references, which were
then classified according to their purpose, type and age. Four general categories of
purpose of these references emerged: brief illustrative examples, examples used for
in-depth elaboration, exercises for all students and recommendations for those who
wish to learn more. With regard to type, examples from films and sports were the
most frequent, with a noticeable absence of examples from fashion, comics and video
games. With regard to age, less than half of instances were from the 21st century.
This indicates that a major challenge in using popular culture references in teaching
is finding generationally appropriate examples.

Key words: concretization, philosophy, popular culture, textbooks.

THE USAGE OF THE PREPOSITION ПО IN THE SPEECH OF PRIZREN PODGOR AND


PODRIMA

This paper deals with a syntactic-semantic analysis of case structures with


the preposition PО that are recorded in the available dialectal corpus of the speech of
Prizren Podgor and Podrima. The syntactic-semantic value of these prepositional case
structures is to be presented and the semantic potential of the preposition PО to be
determined in the investigated speech as compared to the hitherto recorded
meanings in the Serbian-speaking area (e.g. diffuse-distributive, posterior, criterial,

causal-purposeful, etc.). The analysis is aimed to determine the frequency of use and
selection of lexical exponents of case structures with the preposition PО as important
indicators of status of this formalizer in particular semantic fields.

Key words: Serbian, syntax, semantic, preposition, PО, Prizren, Podgor, Podrima.

SERBIANS IN THE CONTEXT OF BORISLAV PEKIĆ'S NOVEL THE GOLDEN FLEECE

The interpretation of different identities in Borislav Pekić's polyphonic novel


Golden fleece implies a broader analytical approach, from linguistic-stylistic,
rhetorical and discourse to compositional, poetic and anthropological levels. Such an
intervention leads to the research of micro-genre peculiarities of new procedures and
forms of narration.
The identity of the Serbs in the Golden Fleece was shaped by the application
of an ironic-parody style complex when composing functional styles. The use of
different languages as an image of identity is directly related to persiflage and
stylistic reevaluation. With the new stylistic-rhetorical scheme of the narrative, the
procedures of forming the identity of the Serbs acquire other meanings and
demystifying functions viewed from the angles of other identities.
In the seven-volume work, Borislav Pekić confronts and combines different
functional styles, speech genres, languages, phraseological, time-space and identity
points of view with the intention of more fully illuminating and problematizing the
confronted identities. Such stylistic and rhetorical points of view are functionally
confronted with other levels of the novel (historical, psychological). This helps in the
comparative assessment of the total past and present of the Serbs. Thus, this novel in
Serbian culture becomes a particularly important depot for viewing Serbian identity
in European and world contexts.

Key words: Identity, style, irony, discourse, Borislav Pekić.

ON THE MEDIOCRE IN THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE EVALUATION SYSTEM:


COGNITIVE-SEMANTIC ANALYSIS OF WORDS СРЕДНИЙ AND ПОСРЕДСТВЕННЫЙ

Cognitive-semantic research of some lexemes used in Russian and Serbian


for positive and negative evaluation (e.g. хороший, плохой; odličan, loš) showed that
the system of words for evaluation is based on several conceptual metaphors,
reconstructed by analyzing the etymology and semantics of those words and their
synonyms. Some of those metaphors are POSITIVE IS UP / BIG / BEAUTIFUL /
VISIBLE and NEGATIVE IS DOWN / SMALL / UGLY / INVISIBLE. In this paper we
analyze Russian words средний and посредственный ‘medium, averageʼ. The
analysis of lexicographic sources shows repeated usage of observed metaphors that
are associated with a negative assessment (e.g. synonyms of the type слабый,
второстепенный, phraseological unit не ахти какой, etc.), and a generally negative
attitude towards the objects that are assessed in this way. This confirms the
asymmetry of the rating scale: it indicates that the norm is not in the middle of the
scale, but is shifted towards the positive pole.

Key words: conceptualization, evaluative words, mediocre, Russian.

THE ENCOUNTER OF CULTURES IN LAURA ESQUIVEL’S NOVEL MALINCHE

In this paper we analyze the encounter of indigenous and Spanish culture in


Laura Esquivel’s novel “Malinche” (2006). We indicate that, using the techniques of
the new historical novel, Esquivel first inscribes and then breaks the stereotypical
image of Malinche, a woman known as a traitor in Mexican history because of her
collaboration with the Spanish during their conquest of Mexico. By providing insight
into her thoughts and attitudes, Esquivel reveals the motives that led Malinalli to
establish an alliance with the conquerors. Among them her desire to create a world
based on understanding and achieve cosmic harmony stands out. We pay special
attention to her devotion to the Aztec goddess of fertility Tonantzin and the teaching
according to which transformation is the basic principle of the universe. Therefore,
Malinalli gets into a relationship with Hernán Cortés and Juan Jaramillo and gives
birth to two mestizos, whom she instructs in the basics of both indigenous and

57
The Thirteenth International Interdisciplinary
Symposium Encounter of Cultures

Spanish culture. This way she procreates a nation based on blood and cultural
synthesis. We conclude that Malinalli develops her identity and that of her children in
the liminal space between the two symbolic shores, thereby confirming herself as a
hybrid being that knows no borders.

Key words: Laura Esquivel, Malinche, new historical novel, Mexico, Spain.

GENERATION Z STUDENTS’ VALUE ORIENTATIONS

This research aims to better understand the value systems of Generation Z


students, born between 1998 and 2012. The study examined value orientations
among Generation Z college students using the Portrait Values Questionnaire (21
items), previously translated and validated in Serbia (LIRA Lab, 2020). An online
survey of 205 University of Novi Sad students identified Benevolence and Self-
Direction as the most prominent values, while Power and Conformity ranked as the
least significant. Based on this, it can be concluded that Generation Z values the well-
being of close individuals, as well as freedom and independence in decision-making.
Conversely, the need for self-indulgence and a sense of power do not characterize this
group. Descriptive statistics indicated significant differences in value orientations
based on sociodemographic factors. These differences were found in Universalism,
Self-Direction, Stimulation, Achievement, Power, and Security. These findings suggest
that educational strategies should be tailored to align with Generation Z students’
needs with emphasis on benevolence and self-direction, while also addressing the
influence of diverse socio demographic factors. Understanding these preferences is
crucial for adapting college curricula and teaching methods to better engage and
support Generation Z students and their educational outcomes.

Key words: generation Z, students, values, educational strategies and curricula.

THE THEME OF ABDUCTION IN THE GREEK COMIC TRADITION

In his second mimiamb, the Hellenistic poet Herodas depicts a pimp named
Battaros accusing a man named Thales of abducting and violating one of his girls
without paying. He also accuses Thales of destroying the property that Battaros was
leasing for use as a brothel. Both men, the plaintiff and the accused, are strangers in
Kos (where the action is located), which according to Battaros is an additional reason
why they should obey the laws of the country. The structure of this mock trial is
obviously a parody of the forensic speeches of the classical period. The details evoke
an Athenian trial from the 4th century; however, the theme of “abduction” is very
similar to several situations in Menander’s comedies. Additionally, the character of
the pimp, revealed only by his monologue, continues the comic tradition, with sui
generis features. The difference between Herodas and Menander regarding the theme
of abduction is that while in Menander’s comedies these actions are planned or
mentioned as a possibility, they are never executed as in Herodas’ mimiamb. In this
paper I aim to trace the literary theme of abduction in the comic genres that precede
Herodas, in order to analyze the attitudes toward these women that are concerned
with the abduction, but from a different point of view.

Key words: new comedy, abduction, prostitution, Greek mimes.

ACADEMIC MOTIVATION OF GENERATION Z STUDENTS

Generation Z, born between 1998 and 2012, has unique traits that set them
apart from previous generations which affects their learning and engagement,
prompting a reevaluation of educational approaches. This study aims to identify
motivational factors by examining intrinsic and extrinsic aspects of academic
motivation among Generation Z using the Academic Motivation Scale – College
version (Vallerand et al., 1992). An online survey of 205 University of Novi Sad
students revealed a predominance of extrinsic motivation. Enhanced job market
competitiveness, career preparation, and competence development for future
professions were cited as primary reasons for pursuing studies. In addition to

59
The Thirteenth International Interdisciplinary
Symposium Encounter of Cultures

extrinsic motivation, high scores were noted on the intrinsic motivation subscale,
with students expressing satisfaction in gaining new knowledge as a key reason for
studying. Descriptive statistics indicated significant motivational differences based on
sociodemographic factors. Students in social-humanistic fields were more motivated
than those in technical fields. Additionally, paternal education level showed to be
significant for students’ academic motivation. These findings suggest that educational
institutions should adapt to meet Generation Z’s specific needs, contributing to
improved educational policies and practices.

Key words: generation Z, intrinsic and extrinsic academic motivation.

INTERLINGUAL HOMONYMS IN THE TEACHING OF SLOVAK AS A FOREIGN


LANGUAGE IN THE SERBIAN SPEAKING AREA

In this paper, we focus on interlingual homonymy as a universal problem in


foreign language teaching. The subject of the research are typical errors made by
Serbian-speaking students at the initial level of learning Slovak. The impact of one
language on another is known as transfer in the professional literature, which
functions across all language levels and can have a positive or negative effect on
foreign language learning. If there is equality or similarity of the structural features of
the two languages, native and foreign, we are talking about positive transfer, while in
the case where there are structural differences, it is negative transfer or interference.
There are two types of interference: interlingual and intralingual. We are interested
in the first (interlingual) type, which also includes interlingual homonyms or so-
called false friends (zradné slová). Interlingual homonyms are often the cause of
communication difficulties, so from the very beginning of language learning, it is
necessary to plan and continuously work on eliminating possible errors and correctly
adopting new words. The paper covers a corpus of homonyms found at the initial
level of language learning (A1 and A2). We propose several types of targeted practical
exercises created using Slovak-Serbian language material.

Key words: interlingual homonyms, Slovak language, Serbian language.

POSSIBLE INTERPRETATIONS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TEXT AND


ILLUSTRATION IN CHILDREN'S BOOKS

The paper examines the relationship between verbal and visual


representation in children's books, with a primary focus on picture books. Drawing
on theoretical discussions about illustrations in general, as well as on the
interconnectedness of illustrations and text as explored by some of today's leading
thinkers, the author aims to address how this complex relationship between written
words and visual depiction can be adequately interpreted in the aforementioned
literary works. Through the analysis of contemporary picture books, the author
presents her own model of intermedial interpretation of the relationship between
text and illustration, a specific blend known as visual literature.

TOPOS OF THE DERVISH IN LOVE - A COMPARATIVE INTERPRETATION OF THE


PALATICS CODEX'S MADZSARI TÜRKI AND STIJEPO ĐURĐEVIĆ'S POEM DERVIŠ

The collection known today as the Palatics Codex was discovered in 1832 by
the orientalist Antal Gévay of the Vienna court library. In addition to Turkish, Persian
and Arabic material, Hungarian, German, Croatian and Latin texts were recorded in
the codex of mixed content in Arabic letters: among them the song Madzsari türki
with the incipit “Fekete szemő, fekete szemődökű...” the speaker of which somewhat
awkwardly tries courting a Hungarian woman with metaphors from Turkish poetry.
There was a long-standing assumption in the literature that the song was composed
by Turkish-turned-Hungarian poet: Mehmed Divinyi. Gyula Németh, the famous
Turkologist, denied the existence of Mehmed Divinyi in 1948, and identified the poem
as a piece of aşik poetry – which was originally composed by the ceremonial
musicians of the Bektashi Order of dervishes – in Hungarian. The author of this thesis
compares the song with Stijepo Đurđević's comic poem Derviš, and formulates the
hypothesis that similarly to the poem from Dubrovnik, the Madzsari türki is a parody
as well.

Key words: Madzsari türki, aşik poetry, Stijepo Đurđević, Derviš, parody.

THE ROLE OF PEER FEEDBACK IN ENHANCING PRESENTATION SKILLS:


PERSPECTIVE OF ESP STUDENTS

Presentation competence is nowadays considered one of the core


competences of higher educated professionals. As a result, there is broad
acknowledgement of the need for all university graduates to develop effective
presentation skills. Following the constructivist approach to teaching and learning, 56
students participated in the activity of giving presentations and peer feedback so as
to enhance their presentation competences. Upon completion, students filled out a
questionnaire and shared their views on the activity. The aim was to determine the
effectiveness of the peer feedback process on presentation skills development,
identify difficulties that students faced while giving and receiving feedback, and
gather recommendations so as to make the peer feedback process more effective and
beneficial for all participants. Although respondents overall expressed a positive
attitude towards the activity, as it created an encouraging learning environment,
boosted their confidence and improved presentation quality, there were also certain
challenges regarding giving feedback in terms of time constraints and inconsistencies.

Key words: presentation competence, peer feedback, English for Specific Purposes.

FUNCTIONAL RELATIONS OF CLAUDE VANDELOISE IN FRENCH AND SERBIAN

In his analysis of spatiality in French, Claude Vandeloise has demonstrated


that language does not express absolute relations between the localization object and
the localizer, but rather functional relations. Thus, the French prepositions sur and
dans primarily express the relations of carrier-carried and container-contained (le
pont sur la rivière, des fleurs dans des pots). Functional relations also imply
orientation in relation to axes (au-dessus de, à droite de), the relation between the
localizer and the speaker, the direction of movement, and even the direction of gaze
(devant, derrière). The aim of this paper is to compare the ways of expressing
functional relations in the domain of spatiality in French and Serbian, using examples
from literary translations. The initial hypothesis is that there is a great similarity in
these relations between the two languages, as many of them have an
anthropomorphic character and are related to visual perception and the shape of the
human body.

Key words: spatiality, functional relations, Claude Vandeloise, French, Serbian.

ON THE SLAVIC DIALECTS OF MACEDONIA IN SERBIAN ETHNOGRAPHY

Until the creation of socialist Yugoslavia, Serbian linguistics classified most of


the Slavic dialects in the Macedonian region within the dialectal corpus of the Serbian
language. With the establishment of the Macedonian literary language, these dialects
began to be regarded as part of the Macedonian linguistic corpus. This paper seeks to
address key questions such as how Serbian ethnography viewed the Slavic dialects of
Macedonia, what linguistic status it assigned to them, what criteria were applied in
doing so, and to what extent it was aligned with the prevailing approaches of Serbian
linguists at the time. The research is based on a corpus of representative
ethnographic studies that deal with the Macedonian region and is divided into three
parts. The first part concerns the period before the creation of the Socialist Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY), the second part covers the period during the existence
of the SFRY, and the third part deals with the period after the breakup of the SFRY.
Preliminary research indicates that until the creation of socialist Yugoslavia, Serbian
ethnography predominantly linked most Macedonian dialects firmly to the Serbian
language and Serbian ethnicity.
Key words: Slavic dialects, Macedonia, Serbian ethnography.

HUNGARIAN-YUGOSLAV CONFLICTUAL COEXISTENCE IN THE BAJA TRIANGLE


MULTIETHNIC BORDER REGION (1944-1948)

The Soviet Red Army reached the so-called Baja Triangle (Bajski trokut) in
October 1944. Yugoslav troops also entered the villages, and the local South Slavs
established national liberation committees and formed armed militias. Tensions
remained between ethnic Hungarians and South Slavs as the South Slavs became
over-represented in the local branches of the Hungarian Communist Party, actively
interfered in the administration and benefited from land distribution. Following the
Soviet-Yugoslav conflict, however, their exposure became a handicap, and reprisals
were taken against them. In my paper, I will analyse these eventful years of this
special multiethnic border region, using archival sources from Budapest and
Belgrade, with emphasis on the conflictual coexistence between the local South Slavic
minority and the Hungarians, the impact the Hungarian-Yugoslav relations had on
these processes and how these local events influenced the party and state relations
between the two countries.

Key words: Yugoslavia-Hungary after 1945, border studies, everyday nationalism.

TRANSFORMATION, (R)EVOLUTION AND IDENTITY IN MIKHAIL BULGAKOV'S


HEART OF A DOG

This paper is dedicated to the deeper layers of Mikhail Bulgakov's novella


"Heart of a Dog", which, along with a dominant satirical aspect and putting to the
forefront political allegory for the post-revolutionary Soviet reality in the 1920s,
deals with the human personality as one of the key topics of Bulgakov's literary opus.
Based on the author's literary process – interweaving fiction and presenting
reality through mimesis, confronting storytelling in the 1st and 3rd person singular,
reaching for metamorphosis (transformation of a dog into a human through a
scientific experiment and surgery performed by Professor Preobrazhensky) and the
grotesque that results from it – considerations are given to the issues of identity,
relationship between human and animal, human and non-human, culture and non-
culture, as well as the problem of the corporeal and spiritual aspect of personality,
divine and demonic, and good and evil, along with the problem of morality that
necessarily accompanies these confrontations. It is shown that the connection of
(r)evolution and identity, as well as the transformation of the new Soviet man into
homo sovieticus, more precisely his regression, significantly impact the constitution
of the meaning of this "monstrous story".

Key words: grotesque, consciousness, new Soviet man, regression, homo sovieticus.

TRACES OF COEXISTENCE IN THE NOVEL SEMPER IDEM BY ĐORĐE LEBOVIĆ AND


ITS TRANSLATION INTO HUNGARIAN

Đorđe Lebović grew up in a multicultural, multiconfessional, and multilingual


environment. He spent his childhood traveling between Sombor and Zagreb,
absorbing diverse experiences from people linked by a specific coexistence in this
area between the two world wars. This diversity is woven, in various forms, into his
novel-chronicle, Semper Idem. In 2021, Semper Idem was translated into Hungarian
by Viktorija Radič, who was born and raised in Sombor several decades after Lebović
and is now a recognized author and translator. She translated it with genuine
enthusiasm, guided not only by the language of the novel but also by her own
multilingualism and interculturality. Viktorija Radič writes about the translation
procedures, as well as the broader sociocultural context of the past and present
times, in the afterword of the translation – a text that deserves special attention. With

all this in mind, this paper will focus on those elements of the novel that could have
been sources of difficulty during translation, the solutions chosen by the translator,
and their commentary.

Key words: Đ. Lebović, V. Radič, Semper Idem, translation, Serbian, Hungarian.
