Biblical Text and its Terminological Discourses in Modern Colloquial Language: The Example of the Pauline Letters

Liturgical language of the Byzantine-Slavic tradition faithful in Slovakia

Liturgický jazyk veriacich byzantsko-slovanskej tradície na Slovensku

Duration: 1.1.2021 - 31.12.2024
Program: VEGA
Project leader: Prof. PhDr. Žeňuch Peter DrSc.
Annotation: The project pursues the linguistic characteristics of the liturgical language of the Byzantine-Slavic Church in Slovakia. It focuses especially on the synchronic – diachronic description of the Old Church Slavonic language in use in the Slovak linguistic and cultural milieu. This project builds on the actual results of the research conducted on the Cyrillic writings of the liturgical and non-liturgical type. Special attention is paid to synchronic linguistic characteristics on phonetic and morphologic phenomena in oral prayer utterance by Slovak faithful pronounced in Old Church Slavonic. The description of status of the linguistic variant of Old Church Slavonic among Slovak users is inevitable especially for the contrastive research of the language of Cyrillic written monuments of the Slovak provenience. It regards especially monuments connected with the religious life of the Byzantine rite in Slovakia, and from the point of view of the linguistic – ethnical communication in the liturgical context, too.

Image of World and Man in Demonological Narratives. Structurally-Semantic Research of Demonological Legends

Obraz sveta a človeka v démonologických naratívoch Štruktúrno-sémantický výskum démonologických povestí.

Duration: 1.1.2021 - 31.12.2024
Program: VEGA
Project leader: Doc. Mgr. Žeňuchová Katarína PhD.
Annotation:In the context of interdisciplinary research attention is paid to systems of folk mythology on Slovakia through the prism of narrative folk texts. The main practical intention of the project is systematization of demonological collection of legends, written in Slovakia, which bring new information about mythologization of natural phenomena (wind, storm, lightning, thunder), human states (personification of illnesses, fate, death), perception of people with unhuman demon-like powers (hags, witches, soothsayers), demonic images of the dead and the afterlife (spirits, revenants, the unchristened dead, suicide). From the theoretical perspective the project brings source material, which might prove helpful with linguistic nominal research of distinct demonologems and with description of typology of elements in Slovak folk demonology, which helps clarify, how this description corresponds with other Slavic traditional systems.

Transformations and contexts of cultural identity in the enclave and diaspora: on the example of Slovaks and Rusnaks in the Lowlands

Premeny a súvislosti kultúrnej identity v enkláve a diaspóre: na príklade Slovákov a Rusnákov na Dolnej zemi

Duration: 1.1.2023 - 31.12.2026
Program: VEGA
Project leader: Mgr. Hríbová Marína PhD.
Annotation:The project deals with linguistic and literary-cultural communication in the environment of the enclave and diaspora. The relationship to tradition, values and linguistic-confessional memory becomes the starting point for synchronic-diachronic research of linguistic expressions in selected literary monuments and in other spheres of written culture from the 18th century in the environment of Slovak Evangelicals, Catholics, and Greek Catholics in the Lowlands. Cooperation of linguistic, literary, and cultural-oriented Slavistics and Slovakistics is essential for our research. An important part is the research of the relationship of the separated community to its confessional and linguistic tradition in the context of preserving the collective identity. Comparative research focuses on valuable coherences of communication processes, which provide space for understanding the relationship of the lowland community to the mother country in diverse linguistic-confessional context of the development of their identity.
