Difficult Places from the Easter Canon in the Church-Slavic Language (Correction Options on the Material of Song 4)

The article is devoted to the multidisciplinary examination of grammatical terminology in the “Grammar” by M. Smotrytsky, the 400th anniversary of the publication of which this year celebrates the scientifi c community of the Slavic world. The emphasis was placed on determining the role played by “Grammar” in the codifi cation of the grammatical system of the Church Slavic language, which functioned in the ancient period in the Eastern Slavic lands and had a great infl uence on the formation of grammatical thought in Ukraine, contributed to the enrichment of grammatical theory through the introduction to scientifi c treatment of new linguistic concepts and the formation of Slavic linguistic theory. Using the theoretical achievements of the Greek-Latin grammar, translated by Ukrainian linguists into the Slavic linguistic soil during the long period of development of the Ukrainian language, M. Smotrytsky set out to broaden the conceptual and terminological basis and thus sought to enrich the theory of grammar. Due to the fact that in one article it is impossible to cover all the grammatical terms represented in the “Grammar”, only those that were fi rst recorded in it or which M. Smotrytsky transposed from the grammar of his predecessors, having improved them, are involved in the analysis. In particular, this article analyzes the concepts and terms of two parts of the grammar, designated by the Greek terms “Orthography” and “Etymology”. In the part of the grammar “Etymology” (“morphology”) traced the discovery of concepts and terms for their designation of only the parts that are discarded in the chapters “Name” and “Verb”.

Syntax-Semantic Types and Lexico-Semantic Models of Multi-Component Words in Old Bulgarian and Church Slavonic: Composita Substantiva & Verba

Structural Significance

The proposed article examines the syntactic-semantic types and the lexico-semantic models of multi-component complex words from the category of substantives and verbs in Old Bulgarian and Church Slavonic. The study is done on lexical material, excerpted from the main lexicography works in Old Bulgarian and Church Slavonic languages. The analysis proceeds from the theoretical statement that the structural significance of word order (as well as of any language unit that is semantically and formally dissected) is not a simple sum of lexical meanings of its constituent units, but interactions between them on the basis of certain predicate relations. Based on the specific analysis, the conclusion is drawn that the variety of syntactic-semantic types and the lexico-semantic models of multicomponent complex words reveals the rich word-forming capabilities of the Old Bulgarian language, respectively the Church-Slavic language, and their ability to adequately translate foreign language specimens by their own means of speech.

The location called Trinity is situated nearby Kotor (Cattaro), and was most probably named after the Saint Trinity Church, built at the same place. The church does not exist any more. Several documents regarding that church have been kept. One of them, written in September 1476, is subject of analysis of this contribution. As it happened, instead of a priest died in May of the same year, the church was taken care by the Minor Council upon the suggestion of the city of Kotor. The election of the same priest was performed in the Minor Council, upon suggestion of the two electors, by secret voting of all members of the Council. It seems the document to be the only one from the Archive of Kotor (today kept in the State Archive of Zadar), in which has been described the voting in the Minor Council, with presences of the two members of Council, who had voted with the golden balls (balotta aurea electionis). As it is possible to see from this case, as well as from the other documents kept in the city archives along the eastern Adriatic Coast, their role was to suggest personalities for important city duties. It is also possible to see from the document that the Minor Council of the Kotor Municipality had separated a book in which the records for the sessions or at least decisions of the Council was registered. The second interesting thing in this document is the name of the deceased priest. His name was don Matej Curilica, which should be understood as a nickname, given because of that he had probably served upon the Roman ritual, but in Slavic language, from the books written in Cyrillic or Glagolitic alphabet. The first name for the Glagolitic alphabet was kjurilica. There are strong reasons for presumptions that still in the first half of the 12th century the Glagolitic alphabet was in use in the regions southeast from Dubrovnik.

Projection of linguistic consciousness: from Pamvo Berynda to postmodernism

Abstract: For the first time, the article projects linguistic consciousness in diachrony: from pre-modern times to modern postmodernism with a common mental basis of ambivalent and hybrid focus. The epicenter of the analysis of diachronic linguistic consciousness is the figure of the outstanding lexicographer and publisher Pamvo Berynda through the lens of his prefaces and motivation of the creation of the “Slavonic-Ruthenian Lexicon” (1627). The article proves the significance of linguistic consciousness in basic sociolinguistic processes. The article reveals the following problems: definition of linguistic consciousness; language as time and ideas; Pamvo Berynda’s linguistic consciousness through the prism of published works and linguonomen language; similarity of linguistic consciousness in pre-modern and postmodern times on the basis of the current legislative environment of the Ukrainian language and attributive modifiers of the linguonomen language. The linguistic and lexicographical activity of Pamvo Berynda has an exceptional historical significance in the context of the involuntary codification of the Old Ukrainian (Ruthenian) language alongside the Church Slavic language. The need to create a translation dictionary in 1627 and to translate sacred works into plain Ruthenian language resulted from the lack of understanding of the Church Slavic language by the general public, not from the elevation of dignity of the Old Ukrainian (Ruthenian) language – that is, a pragmatic rather than ethno-national factor. Such motivation still occupies a significant place in the sociolinguistic processes of Ukraine, which inhibits its cultural and political progress. The pre-modern era, with its first national revival at the turn of the XVII–XVII centuries, crystallized into the iconic personality of Pamvo Berynda, is the turning point of our language history that still revives and inclines to ethno-national, not just pragmatic, priorities in the language issue. Lack of ethno-national self-awareness both then and now perform the half-way models of language beliefs and language behavior, which lead to regressive phenomena of hybridism. Keywords: linguistic consciousness, pre-modern time, postmodernism, plain Ruthenian language, «Slavonic-Ruthenian Lexicon», «Triodion», Hybridism.

The Romanian Redaction of the Church Slavonic Language – an Outline of the Problem The article is devoted to the Romanian redaction of the Church Slavonic language. More recent redactions of the Old Church Slavonic language emerged in all areas inhabited by Slavs of the Orthodox faith. Apart from the national redactions of the Church Slavonic language, which developed in Slavic countries, a form of this language with its own peculiar peculiarities also emerged in the territory of present-day Romania. Between the 13th and the 16th century, the official language of Moldavia and Wallachia (the lands which subsequently became part of Romania) was a Slavic language in a form based on a Bulgarian version of the Church Slavonic language. It gradually developed distinct features, so that we may already speak about a Romanian redaction of the Church Slavonic language in the 15th and 16th centuries.

Main Street in Sarasota, Florida. A high-tech medical arts building rises from the east end, the county's historic three-story courthouse is two blocks to the west and sandwiched in between is the First Church of Christ, Scientist. A verse inscribed on the wall behind the pulpit of the church reads: “Divine Love Always Has Met and Always Will Meet Every Human Need.” This is the church where William and Christine Hermanson worshipped. It is just a few steps away from the courthouse where they were convicted of child abuse and third-degree murder for failing to provide conventional medical care for their seven-year-old daughter.This Article is about the intersection of “divine love” and “the best interests of the child.” It is about a pluralistic society where the dominant culture reveres medical science, but where a religious minority shuns and perhaps fears that same medical science. It is also about the struggle among different religious interests to define the legal rights of the citizenry.

AbstractThis paper examines the actions of one Salvadorean priest – Padre David Rodríguez – in one parish – Tecoluca – to underscore the importance of religious leadership in the rise of El Salvador's contentious political movement that began in the early 1970s, when the guerrilla organisations were only just beginning to develop. Catholic leaders became engaged in promoting contentious politics, however, only after the Church had experienced an ideological conversion, commonly referred to as liberation theology. A focus on one priest, in one parish, allows for generalisation, since scores of priests, nuns and lay workers in El Salvador followed the same injustice frame and tactics that generated extensive political mobilisation throughout the country. While structural conditions, collective action and resource mobilisation are undoubtedly necessary, the case of religious leaders in El Salvador suggests that ideas and leadership are of vital importance for the rise of contentious politics at a particular historical moment.
