Abstract: Since the big influx of Saxons to the Spiš region in the 13th century, the language contacts between German and Slovak have been very strong. It is mainly visible in toponymy of the region, which often preserves even the oldest lexis, often no more used in language. This article aims to analyse those toponyms of the central part of Spiš region which are of German origin and consequently show the impact of the German language of the Saxon colonisers. Not only would we like to point out how many toponyms of German origin are to be found in this area, but also to demonstrate how these proper names came into standardisation and indicate what the frequency of usage of German versus Slovak proper names for this area is.

Keywords: Saxon colonisation, German language, toponymy, central part of Spiš region.

Abstract: This paper focuses on interpretation of the medieval text Mauri, episcopi Quinqueecclesiensis, Vita sanctorum Zoerardi­‑Andree confessoris et Benedicti martyris, eremitarum (Life of the St. confessor Zorard­‑Andrew and martyr Benedict, written by the Fivechurch bishop Maurus), shortly called also Maur’s legend, from the viewpoint of symbolical motifs. It deals with the semiotic function and symbolism of saints (Zosimas, Hyppolyte, Emmeram, Martin of Tours, as well as Andrew, Benedict and Maurus), numbers (mainly three, forty and four) and other motifs present in the text (an eagle, a rose, reed, a crown, stones and a chain).

Keywords: semiotic function, symbolism, saints, names, numbers, motifs.

Abstract: According to the cognitive conceptualism, linguistic competence is computational system defined over mental representations. The aim of this paper is to outline the theoretical basis of this concept and point out some counterintuitive consequences of such understanding of language. The paper focuses primarily on naturalistic and atomistic understanding of the mental lexicon.

Keywords: linguistic competence, conceptualism, naturalism, concepts, compositionality.

Abstract: The present research paper investigates the incidence of nominal clauses in spoken and written English. The focus is placed on the frequency of occurrence and the range of subordinators that introduce this type of subordinate clause. The study applies comparative analysis to define differences in the use of nominal clauses within a small­‑size corpus comprising of texts that represent spoken and written English. Quantitative research method is used to determine the frequency of occurrence of nominal clauses and particular subordinators in the selected registers. The purpose of the study is to find out potential differences in the employment of nominal clauses in different media of language production. Based on quantitative analysis of nominal clauses in the different texts of spoken and written discourse, the paper presents frequency counts and interprets them as indicative of the character of the discourse. The findings are compared with the findings of previous studies performed on large­‑scale corpora.

Keywords: nominal clauses, conversation, fiction, complexity, spoken language, written language.

Abstract: Drawing on literary food studies, the paper focuses on Diana Abu­‑Jaber’s latest work, her 2016 memoir Life without a Recipe. By exploring Abu­‑Jaber’s food aesthetics and comparing it with well­‑known cultural (food) metaphors of the melting pot and the salad bowl, the paper aims to point to a distinct role that food plays in the narrative. In Abu­‑Jaber’s writing, food is a storyteller whose tale revolves around the search for memory and the search for identity. It helps the author recollect her past memories and negotiate her Arab­‑American in­‑betweenness, which she does through cooking and baking a text by means of Western and Eastern ingredients that are never written and always unique. As a result, Abu­‑Jaber creates an individual and distinctive concept of (not only American) identity—the concept of “we­‑are­‑what­‑we­‑crave­‑for.”.

Keywords: Diana Abu­‑Jaber, food studies, Arab­‑American literature, melting pot, salad bowl, food aesthetics.
