Literature, Culture, and Society in the Modern Age: In Honor of Joseph Frank. Eds. Edward J. Brown, Lazar Fleishman, Gregory Freidin and Richard D. Schupbach. Stanford Slavic Studies, vols. 4:1 and 4:2. Stanford: Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, 1991, 1992. 400 and 477 pp. Paper.

The essay was written to mark the 25th anniversary of the Slavic Institute named after Jan Stanislav SAS (Bratislava). The Institute was founded to conduct interdisciplinary research on the relationships of the Slovak language and culture with other Slavic languages and cultures, as well as to study the Slovak-Latin, Slovak-Hungarian, and Slovak-German cultural and linguistic interactions in ancient times and the Middle Ages. The article introduces the main milestones in the formation and development of the Institute, its employees, the directions of their scientific work, and their significant publications. The main areas of research of the Slavic Institute (initially the Slavic Cabinet) cover linguistics (lexicography, history of language), history, folklore, cultural studies, musicology, and textology. Much attention is paid to the annotated translation of foreign religious texts into Slovak. A valuable contribution of the Institute to Slavic Studies is the creation of a database of Cyrillic and Latin handwritten and printed texts related to the Byzantine-Slavic tradition in Slovakia.

Nowadays the name of Pyotr Bezsonov, the acknowledged in pre-revolutionary Russia scholar, is known to but a narrow circle of researchers as some myths and stereotypes about him have proved difficult to overwhelm. Yet, he traced in the history of Slavic studies as an assiduous collector of ancient Russian and Slavic literature works and explorer of Bulgarian, Belarusian and Serbian folklore, folk songs in particular, a scrutinizer of the Slavic languages and dialects, a talented pedagogue and editor. Based on the genuine sources, such as letters, documents and memoirs, as well as nineteenth century publications, which have become the bibliographic rarities, this article aims to present the revised biography of the scholar through revealing the hitherto unknown or underestimated facts of his life and research activity; also, to highlight his achievements in the field of Slavic history, literatures and linguistics; finally, to determine the place deserved by Bezsonov in Russian and European culture as a whole. The special attention is given to the Kharkiv period, related to the years of his professorship at Kharkiv University. Received: 17 February 2021 / Accepted: 9 April 2021 / Published: 10 May 2021

Built-in Argument Positions in Bulgarian and PolishThe issue of built-in argument positions is not particularly popular in contemporary Slavic studies. However, some developments have occurred since the introduction of predicate-argument logic in semantic-syntactic studies. This paper focuses not only on theoretical developments but also on conclusions arising from the study of two Slavic languages: Bulgarian (an analytic language) and Polish (a synthetic language). Until now, the issue of incorporating an argument position in the form of a predicative expression has been viewed as a lexical issue. However, both lexical and morphological means can be used to express a type of proposition. The peculiarities of the distinction between word and sentence are also discussed. Wbudowane pozycje argumentowe w języku bułgarskim i polskimKwestia wbudowanych pozycji argumentowych nie jest szczególnie popularna we współczesnej slawistyce. Jednak od czasu wprowadzenia logiki predykatowo-argumentowej w badaniach semantyczno-składniowych nastąpiły pewne zmiany. W niniejszym artykule skupiono się nie tylko na opracowaniach teoretycznych, lecz również na wnioskach wynikających z badania dwóch języków słowiańskich: bułgarskiego (język analityczny) i polskiego (język syntetyczny). Dotychczas zjawisko wbudowania pozycji argumentowych w wyrażenie predykatywne było postrzegane jako zagadnienie leksykalne. Jednak zarówno środki leksykalne, jak i morfologiczne mogą służyć wyrażaniu pewnego typu propozycji. Omówiono również osobliwości rozróżnienia wyrazu od zdania.
