  This chapter investigates the verbal and visual representation of migration and migrants in Croatian and Serbian public broadcasters’ online portals during the “migrant crisis” in 2015/2016. The study shows that migrants are generally positively represented, which is congruent with the official policies of Croatia and Serbia. This positive representation was frequently used for positive self-evaluation of these countries’ influential social actors, and negative evaluation of neighboring countries. The chapter employs macro- and micro-linguistic analysis within the theoretical framework of critical discourse analysis and multimodal analysis.

  Interpreters in the public sector in Norway interpret in a variety of institutional encounters, and the interpreters evaluate the majority of these encounters as polite. However, some encounters are evaluated as impolite, and they pose challenges when it comes to interpreting impoliteness. This issue raises the question of whether interpreters should take a stance on their own evaluation of impoliteness and whether they should interfere in communication. In order to find out more about how interpreters cope with this challenge, in 2014 a survey was sent to all interpreters registered in the Norwegian Register of Interpreters. The survey data were analyzed within the theoretical framework of impoliteness theory using the notion of moral order as an explanatory tool in a close reading of interpreters’ answers. The analysis shows that interpreters reported using a variety of strategies for interpreting impoliteness, including omissions and downtoning. However, the interpreters also gave examples of individual strategies for coping with impoliteness, such as interrupting and postponing interpreting. These strategies border behavioral strategies and conflict with the Norwegian ethical guidelines for interpreting. In light of the ethical guidelines and actual practice, mapping and discussing different strategies used by interpreters might heighten interpreters’ and interpreter-users’ awareness of the role impoliteness can play in institutional interpreter–mediated encounters.

  This article addresses identity construction through social symbolic meanings conveyed in discussions about scripts, primarily Cyrillic, in Croatian public discourse. We focus on discussions in various Croatian online sources from 2013 to 2015 centred on the topic of “Cyrillic as a symbol” and serving as an umbrella for discursive negotiations of (a) identity and belonging, (b) collective memory of the recent past, and (c) minority rights. The symbolic meanings of Cyrillic have been developed and utilized by politicians, professionals, various organizations, and ordinary people in various contexts and with various aims: from delegitimizing political actors and propagating hostility and reconciliation, to creating a “useful” past and consolidating collective identity.

  The paper presents an analysis of the language used on the Internet (social media) by Poles living in Norway. Emphasis is placed on identity construction, integration and impoliteness strategies. The material presented in this study was retrieved from a corpus which was collected in 2015-2016 as part of a project devoted to national identity in immigration discourse. The method of analysis presented in this paper follows Culpeper‟s (1996) taxonomy of impoliteness strategies. The data under inspection illustrate several types of positive and negative impoliteness. The results of the study demonstrate that the Polish diaspora in Norway is only partially integrated and that the language Poles use while writing both about the Norwegians and, in particular, about other Poles is imbued with insults, negative associations and derogatory nominations.

  This article analyzes the verbal prefix o(b)- in Croatian from a cognitive linguistic perspective, focusing on how its apparently different meanings relate to each other, and extensions of its spatial meanings into non-spatial domains. The prototypical meaning of verbs prefixed with o(b)- involves a general notion of circular movement realized in concrete spatial realms: a trajector (TR) performs a circular movement around a landmark (LM). This spatial schema of circular movement can be illustrated by the motion verb optrčati ‘make a full circle by running around a certain area’. Our analysis aims to show that the central meaning, MOVE AROUND (AN OBJECT), has a special status in the meaning network because it directly or indirectly motivates all of the other meanings. We show that the various meanings of o(b)- verbs are not a random collection of unrelated senses, but form a semantic networks in which individual meanings emerge via metaphorical and metonymic extensions and relate to systematic and partially predictable applications of concrete spatial relations to abstract ideas.

  This article examines the discursive presentation of Slovenia in Serbian, Croatian, and Macedonian media (mainly online editions of newspapers) from November 2007 to April 2008. The focus is placed on identity construction through self-positioning and other-positioning, and on applications of symbolic geography in media discussions of Slovenia’s rotating EU presidency. The article concentrates on how different national discourses respond to and interpret Slovenia’s self-positioning in the presidency’s program, and on the differences in how Slovenia’s former “Yugoslav brothers” position Slovenia. In examining Slovenia’s position in relation to the dichotomy of the Balkans versus Europe, emphasis is placed on changes in public discourse and the new identity parameters that emerge. The analysis explains the relation of the role(s) defined in Slovenia’s self-positioning in its presidency program and the role(s) ascribed to Slovenia in foreign discourses. Particular attention is paid to positioning as an identity-ascribing process as expressed in the headlines, kickers, and leads of the texts analyzed. Key words: Slovenian EU presidency, Serbian media, Croatian media, Macedonian media, identity construction, self-positioning, other-positioning, symbolic geography

  In contemporary BCS, the prefix u- is a phonetic and semantic coalescence of two distinct spatial concepts: one relates to containment (Late Common Slavic *vъ) and the other one to movement away (Late Common Slavic *u). These concepts are realized, for instance, in uskočiti ‘jump into’ vs. uteći ‘run away’. Using a database of more than 1,100 u-verbs collected from various sources, this article examines how the two spatial schemas of u-, the ENTRY and the MOVE AWAY schema, relate to each other and how the concrete spatial meanings that these two schemas generate affect abstract meanings of the prefix. The analysis develops a semantic network of u-verbs based on the database showing that the two schemas underlie the semantic profile of all the u-verbs: both those with and those without any apparent spatial motivation. Furthermore, the analysis demonstrates that the two seemingly contrasting schemas show not only differences, but also similarities. Illustrating form-internal antonymy, ENTRY and MOVE AWAY can be understood as a unity at a more abstract level. Moreover, these schemas blend at the constructional level. Because ENTRY and MOVE AWAY provide a basis for similar metaphorical inferences, many verbs can semantically be linked to both: for instance, both spatial schemas provide the spatial motivation of u- as a perfectivizer because both the “path into” and “path away from” can transform into metaphorical goal attainment.

  This paper examines the meaning of the Croatian verbal prefix na- ‘onto’ in a cognitive linguistic framework. Based on the analysis of a comprehensive inventory of contemporary verbs and corpora examples, the analysis identifies a few subgroups of na-verbs showing how seemingly distinct meanings relate to the central spatial image schema of the spatial particle na(-) and how individual meanings of the prefix na- relate to each other. Particular attention is paid to the relation of spatial meanings to those that seem less spatial or abstract, and to metaphorical transformations and abstractions that contribute to a coherent meaning network of na-. Based on the example of na-verbs, the analysis examines two hypotheses that have been intensively discussed in Slavic linguistics: the Empty Prefix Hypothesis and the Conceptual Overlap Hypothesis.

  This article analyzes Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian (BCS) and Bulgarian (Blg.) verbs prefixed with od-/ot- ‘(away) from’ from a cognitive linguistics perspective, focusing on spatial meaning extensions into non-spatial domains, as well as similarities and differences between the languages in question. The prototypical sense of these verbs involves a path and can be presented as a trajector (TR) moving away from a landmark (LM), often a LM-boundary. This from schema is illustrated by BCS/Blg. otići/otida ‘go (away)’ and odalečiti se/otdaleča se ‘go/move away’. Most non-spatial meanings of od-/ot- verbs are derived by applying the idea of movement through space or a spatial path to a metaphorical or figurative movement/path—for example, BCS/Blg. odustati od/otkaža se ot ‘refuse, give up’ and odskakati od (impf.)1/otliča se ot ‘stand out, be different from’—in which the verbs often co-occur with the prepositions od/ot. Our analysis shows that the various meanings of verbs with od-/ot- are not random collections of senses, but form semantic networks with systematic and partially predictable associations of abstract ideas and spatial locations.

  This article examines the meaning of the prefix uz- in Croatian. First, I examine this prefix in nouns, adverbs, complex prepositions, and adjectives, and in the following sections I look at the verbal prefix uz-. After identifying a few subgroups of verbs prefixed with uz- in contexts of upward motion, an examination of paths of meaning extensions into domains that seem less related to upward motion follows, along with an analysis of the constructional behavior of a representative motion verb prefixed with uz-. The main question traced throughout the analysis is how the central meaning of upward motion relates to other meanings of the prefix. Keywords: prefixes, spatial meanings, uz- in Croatian, upward motion, metaphorical extensions

Its main aim is to establish a coherent semantic network of this preposition, an effort that implies elaborating how the preposition’s spatial meanings of immediate proximity and upward motion are related to each other, and how these meanings are related to the meanings in non-spatial domains. The theoretical framework is cognitive linguistics and approaches to constructions that are compatible with cognitive approaches.

  Knjiga Prostor u jeziku i metafora donosi neke rezultate autoričinih višegodišnjih istraživanja prostornih jedinica u slavenskim jezicima. Većina rasprava uključenih u knjigu nastala je u okviru međunarodnog projekta Space in South Slavic koji autorica vodi na Sveučilištu u Oslu. Knjiga odražava kognitivnolingvistički pristup jeziku koji jezik smatra dijelom ostalih spoznajnih sposobnosti, inzistira na povezanosti ljudskog uma, tijela i jezika, a posebnu pozornost pridaje prostornim jedinicama – prijedlozima, prefiksima i glagolima kretanja – koje zorno upućuju na kompleksnu vezu doživljavanja prostora i njegova jezičnog izraza. Pojedinačne analize u ovoj knjizi usredotočuju se na nekoliko prijedloga i prefiksa u hrvatskome jeziku, te na njihove konstrukcije u korpusima. Posebna se pozornost pridaje razradi značenjskih mreža za pojedinačne jedinice kojima je namjera pokazati povezanost konkretnih i apstraktnih značenja. U razradi značenjskih mreža posebno se fokusiraju metaforička proširenja prostornih značenja u neprostorne domene.

  How do people construct collective identity during profound societal transformations? This volume examines the discursive construction of identity related to important national holidays in nine countries of Central Europe and the Balkans: Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Macedonia, Montenegro, Poland, Serbia, and Slovakia. The chapters focus on the decades during which these countries moved from communism towards democracy and a market economy. This transition saw revivals of national values and a new significance of regional and transnational ties, entangled with negotiations of national identity that have been particularly lively in discourse concerning national holidays. The chapters apply discourse analysis in addition to approaches from history, sociology, political science, and anthropology. All of the analyses make use of empirical material in the Slavic languages, including newspaper articles, interviews and other media contributions, sermons, addresses, and speeches by members of the political elite.

  Kako što reći drukčije, kako drugim riječima izraziti istu misao, kako se nešto može preciznije ili općenitije imenovati? Na vrhu jezika vam je riječ koja vam baš treba za određenu misao? Ne možete se sjetiti konteksta u kojem se upotrebljava određena riječ? Rješenje se nalazi u Rječniku sinonima hrvatskoga jezika. U njemu možete pronaći riječi iz razgovornoga jezika, regionalizme u široj uporabi kao i općepoznate žargonizme. Naime, standardna ili birana riječ nije u svakoj situaciji prava i najprihvatljivija. Situacija, stajalište pisca ili govornika te nakana poruke uvjetuju izbor riječi koje pripadaju različitim stilističkim i funkcionalnim razinama. Rječnik sinonima stoga je namijenjen svakome tko želi obogaćivati vlastite jezične izražajne mogućnosti, kao što su primjerice: učenici, studenti, prevoditelji, novinari, redaktori, pisci, lektori, stranci koji uče hrvatski, tj. svima koji se na bilo koji način bave pisanjem, riječima i njihovim mogućim zamjenama. Nakon dva tiskana izdanja, Naklada Jesenski i Turk pripremila je i digitalno izdanje ove vrijedne i korisne publikacije. Svaki je rječnik povrh svega pomagalo i alat, pa su utoliko značajne funkcionalne prednosti elektroničkog izdanja Rječnika sinonima.
