Cuvinte cheie: adjective; superlative; comparison; Croatian language
Abstract
The superlative expresses the highest degree of meaning of an adjective or an
adverb and it can be realized as relative, which implies comparison, and absolute, which indicates a
high degree of intensity without direct comparison. In Romanian, there are numerous ways of
formation of absolute superlative, grammaticalized or expressive (phonetic, syntactic, lexical).
Starting from a more detailed analysis of the absolute superlative in Romanian specialized literature,
the aim of our paper is to identify to what extent there are comparable ways of formation of absolute
superlative in Croatian, as well as to give an overview of this degree of comparison in Croatian with
specific examples from the corpus.

Abstract
The paper presents the results of research in the field of Slovak acquisition as a
Foreign Language in the initial phase (language level A1). The aim of our work is to use the method of
Error Analysis to justify errors in the use of prepositions in the accusative case and locative case in
singular form in written communications speaking the mother tongue of non-Slavic and nonphilological
focus. We notice student's interlanguage as a means of understanding in the process of
second language learning. In the research part we will try to analyze the errors that occurred during
the collection of language data - 24 texts of students of the Faculty of Medicine at the Slovak Medical
University in Bratislava created for teaching during the first semester of study. The data serve as
background material for current dissertation research.

Cuvinte cheie: Croatians in Romania; Krashovani; language biographies; Caraşova; Clocotici;
identity
Abstract
The Krashovani are the most numerous group of the Croatian minority in
Romanian Banat. They differ from other local ethnic groups by their unique language and Roman
Catholic faith. They live in two localities, respectively in the communes of Carașova and Lupac where
they inhabit seven villages. Although they do not know much about the history of their group, they
share a local dialect, Carașova Croatian, and a local identity which is related both to Croatia and
Romania. Through language biographies of seven members of this minority, this paper gives an
insight of the individual histories connected to language(s), illustrating their every-day use of
language but also their relationship between identity and (other) languages, respectively between
their Krashovan identity and other identities - Croatian, but also Romanian. The relationship of
identity and language codes is visible in the communication process - in the family and with other
members of the community they use Caraşova Croatian, while in other, more formal situations, they
use Romanian or even standard Croatian. These seven language biographies also show features of
code-mixing and code-switching and the influence of the Romanian language, as well as speech
accommodation, some of them modifying their language choice according to the desired group.

Marcarea diferențială a complementului direct
în limba slovacă / The Differential Object Marking in Slovak

Slavă, Facultatea de Limbi şi Literaturi Străine, Universitatea din Bucureşti
Email: felicia.luta@lls.unibuc.ro
Cuvinte cheie: Direct Object Marking; Telicity; Scalarity; Verbal Aspect
Abstract
Based on the examples extracted from the very written texts of our students, we
identified the typological characteristics conditioning the DOM phenomenon in Slovak. They concern
both the nominal and the verbal inflexion aiming at distinct paradigmatic models for each gender and
for each class of verbs. An important part is played by the animate vs. inanimate subcategory, relevant
to the declension of the masculine nouns, which is mirrored in the whole nominal inflexion system
and has an impact on case syncretism and asymmetric dualism, as well. Despite the fact that Slovak
has no article, deictics may take on the role of the articles. The lexico-semantic characteristics of
verbs, especially telicity, are inextricably linked to their lexico-grammatical categories such as:
valence, intention, verbal aspect, and implicitely to DOM. Scalarity as closely related to telicity
characterizes perfective verbs entailing a direct object as a obligatory syntactic position. The thematic
roles of the obligatory arguments (Patient and Agent) may also lead to predictability when it comes to
DOM. Word order is mostly relevant with pronouns as it implies the use of the stressed forms of the
personal pronouns whenever used at the beginning of the sentence or for the sake of emphasis. Last
but not least, the anthropocentric factors related to specific activities may decide on the DOM in very
specific contexts, where case syncretism turns to be misleading.

Дробњаци: Етимологија / Drobnjaci – Etymology of the Ethnonym
Instituția: doctorand, Srpski naučni centar, Belgrad
Email: sapphousatthis@gmail.com
Cuvinte cheie: Drobnjaci; Drobnjak; Montenegro; etymology; Balkan Romance; Serbian
language
Abstract
The article discusses the etymology of the name of the Serbian clan Drobnjaci
and their (clan) region Drobnjak, Drobnjaci, situated in one part of (Old) Herzegovina in today’s state
of Montenegro. All the historical mentions of the name have been given, including the mentions from
the Serbian folk poetry: Drobonjag, Drobonjak, Dobronjak, Drobnjag, Drobnjak, Dromnjak, Dromjak.
These has led to the conclusion that the primary form of the name had been *Dobronja+I2g. It had been
the personal name of the chief of the Romance (and Serbianized to a certain extent, thus Serbian as
well) summer pasture, himself belonging to Romance people (and Serbianized to a certain extent,
thus being Serb as well), and from his name the homonymal name of the Serbian clan originated. This
name has Balkan Romance etymology with Serbian preorigin of the word, following the linguistic
evolution: (Old Serb. dobar/-bra/-bro “good” + nѣga “care, raising” / nѣgovati “to care, to raise” > Old
Serb. name (?) or/and nickname of the chief of the Romance summer pasture or, in general, of the
Romance shepherd (in the summer pasture) *Dobronѣg(ь) “a person good in raising the sheep”, in a
word “good shepherd” >) Balk. Rom. *Dobronjag, (?) *Dobronjagu, *Dobronjagul > *Drobonjag, (?)
*Drobonjagu, *Drobonjagul > (Old) Serb. Drobonjag and *Dobronjag > Drobonjak and Dobronjak, from
where the forms Drobnjag and Drobnjak came, while Drobnjak > Dromnjak > Dromjak.

Abstract
This article explores the reasons why, in 1806, Russia invaded the Danubian
Principalities through a particular document: a note that the Russian foreign minister, Andreas
Eberhard von Budberg, addressed to the extraordinary Sardinian envoy in Saint Petersburg, Count
Joseph de Maistre. This document, conserved in Turin and transcribed in the appendix, is analyzed
and commented in the light of both the tensions among Russia, France, and Turkey, and the
diplomatic relations between the Kingdom of Sardinia and the Tsarist Empire: countries far from each
other from a geographical point of view, but whose interests converged in containing the ambitions of
Napoleonic France.

Abstract
The paper analyses two controversial historical stories about love related to the
Serbian and Romanian Royal Courts, which caused stormy criticism and national scandals during the
last century. Draga Mašin (Draginja P. Milićević Lunjevica, 1867–1903), a royal damsel who became
the Serbian Queen, was the wife of King Aleksandar Obrenović. Elena Lupescu (Elena Lupescu Magda
Wolf, 1895–1977), a mistress, and later the wife of the Romanian King Carol II, left remarkable traces
in the history of Romanian monarchy. By confronting different perspectives we will try to show the
(de)construction of the characters Elena Lupescu and Draga Mašin. Entering the closed circle of ties
with members of the nobility where "blue blood" must not be confused with "unworthy blood" and
thus contaminated – the starting point of our paper is to identify the historical typological analogies
between Draga Mašin and Elena Lupescu by means of motives of blood and class identity. Recent
historiographical tendencies shed new light on the earlier notions regarding these two female figures
that are often condemned and considered taboo in society. That is why by confronting different
perspectives we aim at deconstructing the images that Elena Lupesku and Draga Mašin have during
the 21st century.

Abroad and Sanitary Exile, which discuss some aspects, individual and collective, of this kind of
experience. The history of humanity includes forms of exile, consequences of power struggles,
ideologies and drifting collective or personal history. The demographic and ethnic map of the world
has been in perpetual transformation. Closely related to the notion of”chronotope”, the exile, in all its
forms (autoexile, exodus etc.) refers to the time and space left behind.

Imaginea Țărilor Române în ochii unor călători francezi

Email: ndiaconiuc@gmail.com
Cuvinte cheie: alterity; French-Romanian relations; orientalism; Romanian Principalities;
travel literature; 19th century
Abstract
The present article summarizes the travelogues of four French voyagers visiting
the barely known Romanian Principalities in the nineteenth century: consuls Lagau and Cochelet,
diplomat Bois-le-Comte and adventurer Bellanger. After presenting a few milestones in the history of
French-Romanian relations and some key-concepts which best describe the general attitude of every
French early modern traveler, the article displays different views of the same space and just about the
same time period: that of the Russian Protectorate. Mostly seen by the French diplomats as
competitors and largely depicted in a bad light, the Russians raise quite great concerns to the authors
of the below selected works. Nevertheless, it is the image of the Moldo-Wallachians, with their
appearance, near environment, virtues, vices, and especially life stories which stands central to each
of the four journeys.

Abstract
The article The Linguistic Picture of Politeness in Dobšinský's legends and
Erben's tales brings up the question how the meanings of the politeness concept and its context
usages contribute to the broader Slovak and Czech linguistic picture of the world. To be able to
answer this question we observed and interpreted various definitions of the concept we found in
Slovak and Czech dictionaries and ethical manuals. With this theoretical base we have continued our
observations of the concept within the literary field of legends and tales by Slovak romantic author
Pavol Dobšinský and Czech romantic author Karel Jaromír Erben.
