MAY/MIGHT I NJIHOVI SRPSKI EKVIVALENTI – NOVE TENDENCIJE U UPOTREBI

S obzirom na rezultate novijih lingvističkih proučavanja, evidentno je da modalni glagoli u engleskom jeziku prolaze kroz promene koje se tiču njihove učestalosti, ali i značenjskih polja koja pojedinačno obuhvataju. Stoga je načinjen pokušaj da se modalni glagoli may/might prouče u epistemičkom i deontičkom značenju, te da se ustanove njihovi ekvivalenti u srpskom jeziku i eventualne nove tendencije u upotrebi. Sprovedena je kontrastivna analiza korpusa od 113 rečenica na engleskom jeziku i njihovih prevoda na srpski. Osim što se ustano- vljava frekvencija upotrebe i vrsta modalnog značenja koja se iskazuje modalima may i might, analizira se i struktura u kojoj su upotrebljeni tj. broj negiranih modala, te broj modala upotre- bljenih u kombinaciji sa perfekatskim, odnosno progresivnim infinitivom. Na kraju se pažnja obraća na način prevođenja ovih modalnih glagola. Izdvajaju se atipični primeri i komentariše opravdanost takvog izbora prevodnih sredstava. Osim kvalitativnog proučavanja modala may/ might u datim kontekstima i njihovih leksičko-gramatičkih ekvivalenata u srpskom jeziku, spro- vedena je i kvantitativna analiza korpusa. Dobijeni podaci su sumirani i tabelarno prikazani.

KONTRASTIVNO ISTRAŽIVANJE ZNAČENJA PREFIKSA AUSI NJEGOVIH EKVIVALENATA U SRPSKOM JEZIKU

Prilog se bavi prefiksom aus- u nemačkom jeziku, kao i njegovim ekvivalentima u srpskom jeziku. Polazni jezik istraživanja je, dakle, nemački, a ciljni srpski. Detaljnom analizom korpusa koji sadrži reprezentativni broj glagola sa prefiksom aus- (preko 400 glagola), dolazi se do zaključka da je broj mogućih značenja ovog prefiksa veći od navedenog u dostupnoj literaturi. Stoga se glagoli sa prefiksom aus- svrstavaju u deset različitih semantičkih klasa. Na taj način se dolazi do direktnog upoređivanja podataka u oba jezika, što dovodi do utvrđivanja sličnosti i razlika u vezi sa značenjem tzv. aus-glagola (Aus-Verben). Rezultati ovog priloga bi mogli da nađu upotrebu u nastavi nemačkog jezika kao stranog, ali i u okviru studija germanistike.

The Dynamics Of English Terminological Compound Lexemes And Their Serbian Equivalents

Abstract This paper discusses the conceptual dynamicity of English compound lexemes and their Serbian equivalents as reflected in compound lexemes in traffic engineering. The morphological structure and semantics of compound lexemes are considered, as well as strategies for translating English metaphorical compound lexemes into Serbian. The analysis reveals that Serbian cannot cope with the dynamic nature of traffic engineering terminology in English, and that Anglicisms, synonyms of different polysemous terms and vague conceptual determinations are characteristic of Serbian terminological equivalents

THE UNDERLYING STRUCTURE OF ENGLISH NOMINAL COMPOUNDS WITHOUT A VERBAL ELEMENT AND THEIR SERBIAN TRANSLATION EQUIVALENTS

The paper presents the most significant results of a broader corpus-based research of English nominal compounds without a verbal element and their Serbian translation equivalents. Considering the underlying clausal nature of compound lexemes as well as the low productivity of compounding in Serbian, the goal of the research is twofold: firstly, to explore the linguistic means employed in the translation of English verbless nominal compounds into Serbian; and secondly, to examine if there is a relation between the underlying structures of the English compounds in question and their Serbian translation patterns. In addition to the fact that Serbian translation equivalents primarily correspond to noun phrases with different types of modification, the results of the research also point to a considerable correspondence between the underlying structures of the analyzed English compounds and surface realizations of their Serbian equivalents.

SEMANTIK DES VERBALEN PRÄFIXES VER- IN DER DEUTSCHEN GEGENWARTSSPRACHE UND SEINE ENTSPRECHUNGEN IM SERBISCHEN

Der vorliegende Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit dem Präfix ver- bei deutschen Verben und seinen serbischen Entsprechungen. Anhand eines ausgewählten Korpus werden die ver-Verben analysiert und nach ihrer semantischen Leistung eingeteilt. Der Vergleich mit der serbischen Seite soll wertvolle Erkenntnisse bezüglich der Übersetzungs- aber auch der Deutungsmög-lichkeit der ver-Verben liefern. Die auf diese Weise gewonnenen Ergebnisse können im Rah-men des DaF-Unterrichts ihren festen Platz finden.

Purism and antipurism in present-day Serbian

As in other Balkan languages, Serbo-Croatian vocabulary is of mixed origin Ever since its earliest days, some of the commonest words were borrowed from Greek, Latin, Italian, Turkish, Hungarian, and in more recent times from Russian, Czech and German. For this reason most loanwords are received without resistance in Serbia. The same openness is shared by practically all Serbian linguists, while purist attitudes are only to be found among laymen. A less relaxed policy might prove to be advisable towards the Anglicisms of today, since global English is more universally present and more penetrating than any foreign language in the past. In Croatia, on the other hand, purism was adopted as an official policy, first as a response to the threats of Germanization (within the Austro-Hungarian empire) and later to the presumed Serbian domination (in Yugoslavia). As a consequence, the mechanisms of word formation are better developed in Croatian, but at the same time many artificial coinages and recycled archaisms have been launched, leading to what is known as the 'Croatian Newspeak'. While Croatian linguists are constantly on the guard against Serbianisms, in Serbia many Croatian words have been adopted almost without resistance, especially when they are shorter, more practical or more precise than their Serbian equivalents.

A CORPUS-BASED CONTRASTIVE STUDY OF EXPERIENCER VERBS IN ENGLISH AND SERBIAN: SOME IMPLICATIONS FOR THE STRUCTURE OF VP

The aim of this paper is twofold. First, it reports on a parallel corpus study of experiencer verbs in English and Serbian and offers a contrastive description of this class of verbs. This investigation reveals two important observations: (i) a number of Serbian equivalents of English verbs with PP complements require oblique case-marked bare NP complements, (ii) the association between P-heads of these PP complements in English and their Serbian equivalents is not random (i.e. certain Ps in English correlate with certain Ps and/or oblique cases in Serbian). Understanding the potential theoretical significance of these observations is the second goal of the paper. The non-random link between English Ps and their Serbian counterparts speaks in favor of them having a semantic contribution, which goes against Neeleman’s (1997) analysis of Ps in PP complements as having no semantic contribution due to the fact that they LF incorporate into the verb. Neeleman’s (1997) account also fails to generalize to Serbian because oblique-cased bare NP complements exhibit syntactic characteristics of arguments. It is argued that the link between oblique-cased bare NP and PP complements speaks in favor of the functional/semantic equivalence along the lines of Caha (2009, 2013).

У роботи ше анализую поровнуюци идиоми хторим поровнуюца часц дїєслово. Виглєдованє облапело 232 поровнуюци идиоми руского язика хторим дїєслово перша часц, односно компарандум. Попри анализи состава руских идиомох, у роботи обезпечени и їх сербски еквиваленти. Автор сербски еквиваленти класификовал на цалком еквивалентни идиоми, часточно еквивалентни идиоми и описни еквиваленти. Робота обезпечує и одредзени статистични податки о руских идиомох и перши информациї у русинистики о заступеносци дзепоєдних сеґментох структури поровнуюцих идиомох зоз дїєсловами.
