The paper deals with the period in time when a poetic character, bearing the title “ethnic Serb” as if it were his own personal name, was introduced into epic and lyric poetry of the South Slavs, and ...the cause of his vast representation in epic and lyric poetry in the area of today’s Macedonia, North Greece and West Bulgaria in the 19th century. The paper indicates towards a continued use of the ethnic Serb as an anthroponym in today’s West Macedonia between the 15th and 19th centuries and the popularity of poems about an eponymous hero in the same area. A hypothesis was therefore introduced claiming that before the 18th century he was a hero of the local folklore of this area, with poems describing him expanding to other regions over time.
U radu su predstavljeni rezultati pragmastilističke analize drame
Gospođa ministarka
(1929) srpskog pisca
Branislava Nušića. Riječ je o drami s obilježjima komedije situacije, komedije karaktera i ...satire, u kojoj su podjednako zastupljeni verbalni i situacijski humor. Analiza je provedena s ciljem utvrđivanja pragmatičkih sredstava i strategija postizanja verbalnog humora zastupljenih u drami, a pri njezinu provođenju korišten je pojmovni aparat preuzet iz suvremenih lingvističkih, prvenstveno pragmatičkih teorija humora zasnovanih na pojmu nekongruentnosti. U prvom dijelu rada predstavljen je teorijski okvir istraživanja, dok je drugi dio posvećen analizi. U njemu su na izabranim primjerima iz drame demonstrirani i analizirani najfrekventniji pragmatički okidači humora, koji su podijeljeni u tri skupine: (1) okidači koji se zasnivaju na izigravanju/kršenju kooperativnog principa, a ostvaruju se prijenosom implicitnih značenja, (2) okidači koji se zasnivaju na izigravanju/kršenju principa uljudnosti, a ostvaruju se posredstvom neuljudnih i lažno uljudnih iskaza, (3)
šarolik jezik
dramskih likova, koji se ogledava u frekventnoj upotrebi ekspresivnih izraza
te upotrebi neprikladnog i neočekivanog jezičnog registra.
The paper presents a pragma-stylistic analysis of the play The Minister's Wife (1929) by the Serbian writer Branislav Nušić. This play contains both verbal and situational humour, and shows characteristics of situation comedy, comedy of character and satire. The analysis was carried out with the aim of determining the pragmatic means and strategies for achieving verbal humour in the play. The theoretical apparatus was taken from the contemporary linguistic (primarily pragmatic) theories of humour, which are based on the concept of incongruity. In the first part of the paper, the theoretical framework of the research is presented, while the second part is devoted to the analysis. The most frequent pragmatic triggers of humour are demonstrated and analysed onselected examples from the play. These triggers are classified into three groups: (1) triggers based on flouting/violating the cooperative principle, which is reflected in the transmission of implicit meanings, (2) triggers based on flouting/violating the principle of politeness, which is reflected in the use of impolite and falsely polite utterances, (3) colourful language of dramatic characters, which is characterized by the frequent use of affective expressions and the use of inappropriate and unexpected register.
The paper offers argumentation in favor of a new interpretation of the story “Holliday on the South” by Ivo Andric. The mysterious disappearance of professor Norges (spending holliday with his wife ...on the seaside) has been explicated by critics as a result of the hero’s elevation and spiritualization after some kind of enthusiastic experience. Opposing to those who thought that what’s happened here could be described as the hero’s pagan merging into nature or climbing into transcendence, the paper brings arguments that he vanishes into nonexistence as a result of a sudden and grandiose opening of his being to the sensual world. It has been concluded that professor Norges hasn’t died for the world to be born as a writer but rather the other way round: as a man who is committed to sensual life he is on the way to become dead as an author.
The first part of the text describes the process of autosacralization of modern poetry. The metaphor of autosacralization represents the process by which modern poetry singles out the poetic act and ...poetic language from the sphere of the expressive theory and the language and space of everyday. Autosacralization is the connection between the respective poetry of Valéry and Elliot, despite the poetic differences, as well as Heidegger’s interpretations of Hölderlin and Rilke. Further on, the text demonstrates the way poetry is sacralized in Raičković (ending with the first edition of the collection Kamena uspavanka in 1963), and then desacralized in Raičković’s later poems. Our analysis of the long poem Slučajni memoari Accidental memoirs (1978) will determine the following elements of desacralization of poetry: 1) the transformation of the question of the sense and value of poetry into a question of the status of poetry (the question what poetry is gets supplanted by the question whether something is poetry); 2) the transformation of a poetic motif into a poetic instrument; 3) the substitution of the timeless source of the poem (the myth) with the temporal source of the poem (notes, papers, news articles); 4) the change from the argumentative quotation of a verse to the non-argumentative quotation a word; 5) resubjectivization of poetry and the return of the subject in a form of a new sociability which connects the poetic subject to other people.
