Music ,M1-5000 - Abstract
A brief consideration of Janáček's connections with the modernist trends in the music of the twenties involves an exact analysis of his later work. In the work of this composer who was born in the fifties of the last century we find a number of the fundamental problems of modern music, such as melodies and chords of the forth, the whole-tone scale, the loss of tonality and tonal centre, some characteristics of tetrachordal groups, the beginnings of bitonality, an original use of macro- and micro-techtonics often operating with the so-called constant montage, and finally the beginnings of working with two desparate layers at the same time. The author tries to show the relation of Janáček, composer and man, to the avant-garde of the twenties. His relation to Schönberg was intensest in 1920 when he studied his »Harmonielehre« in detail; later, however, it assumed a critical aspect, as can be seen from his observations on the book mentioned and on certain compositions of Schönberg (Serenade in Venice 1925). After the encounter of both composers in Berlin (1926) Janáček wrote to Max Brod: »Schreker and Schönberg came to me to compliment me on the opera Káta Kabanova. This gave me the greatest pleasure . . .« He emphasized consciously his relation to the avant-garde in the speech on the occasion of his promotion on January 28tn, 1925, when he said: ». . . The moderns Schreker, Schönberg, Debussy feel in the same manner as I . . .« In the last two years of his life Janáček came to know the work of Berg also. He realised intuitively the profound significance of the genius of the Austrian musical dramatist and commented in the following manner: ». . . He is a dramatist of astounding significance, of deep truth. Let him speak! . . . his every note has been steeped in blood . . .« The author draws attention to the apparent ideological similarity of »Wozzeck« and of Janáček's last opera »From the House of the Dead«. The paper brings some additional evidence of Janáček's connections with the avant-garde. The author points out that Paul Hindemith first performed Janáček's violin sonata in 1923 and that he prepared some further performances. His relation to Béla Bartók is indicated by the concert arranged by Janáček in Brno on March 3rd, 1925. Janáček heard, analysed and criticised also a number of compositions by Igor Stravinsky. Further the enthusiasm of the younger generation for Janáček's work is documented: the two letters of Paul Dessau, the visit of the American experimentalist Henry Cowell who later nominated Janáček together with Bartók, Hába, Křenek, Berg and so on as honorary members of the New Music Society of California, the sincere relation of the Prague Society for Modern Music to the composer who had been its honorary member since December 16th, 1924. Finally the author outlines the most important characteristics of the music of the twentieth century in Janáček's work, which clearly forshadow the sphere of European music of the twenties and thirties.

Ancient history ,D51-90 - Abstract
The fiften years of archaeological excavations in Sirmium have already given significant information concerning various spheres of the life in the ancient town. The present paper calls the reader’s attention to what is so far a unique example in our territory: to the existence of three glass melting furnaces within the town. Furnace No 1 has been discovered in the north part of the town (Sector VIII) in a complex of several walls dated to be from the second half of the fourth century. The furnace had been built by the side of wall No III, which wall is older. At a depth of 1.95 m there is first a semi-circular surface of unrefined glass substance in the form of a plate. All around it waste glass particles or bigger pieces, all of irregular shapes, are to be found as well as lumps of raw materials for the production of glass. By the side of the glass plate a fuel-chamber has been discovered, it is made bricks cemented by some muddy substance. The fragments of the Roman bricks used, the cementing by means of mud, and probably also the earthen skull forming the upper part of the furnace indicate a time after the fourth century. This seems to be supported also by a number of various objects from the fifth and from the first half of the sixth century found nearby. The other two glass melting furnaces, which are essentially identical and possibly also simultaneous with the first glass melting furnace, have been discovered in Locality No 28, also in an architectonical complex from the fourth century. These two furnaces are built to the east of wall No XXV, on the premises 15 of the building No V. Both of them are considerably damaged, as they have been discovered in a layer of soil much affected by fire. Furnace No 2 consists of two parts, one of which was probably of a square shape. The floor is covered by fragments of bricks, over which lie thick layers of melted glass. Furnace No 3 is of a rectangular shape, and has only a partly preserved north and south-west wall. On the north wall was probably the opening. The wall No XXV is in its lower part built of bricks cemented by lime mortar and represents the dividing wall of the premise 15 on the Roman locality. Later on, a younger wall was built upon this construction, apparently at the time of building the furnaces with which it is connected. It is built of cracked bricks, cemented by mud or firmly packed earth. Concerning the date of the younger, simpler wall and the date of the glass melting furnaces one can simply say that they are from after the fourth century, and that the upper limit might be posited in the second half of the sixth century — or at the time when the Avars reached the territory of Sirmium.

On N. Chomsky’s strict subcategorization of verbs ,Philology. Linguistics ,P1-1091 - Abstract
This paper studies the so-called strict subcategorization rules, and the theory associated with them, in the transformational grammar of. Erigl·ish as proposed by Noarn Chomsky in his Aspects. The syntactic component of English transformational grammar consists of two mutually ordered parts, viz., the base and the transformational subcomponents. The initial part of the base are the so-called categorial rules, which are of almost exclusive interest to us here. Their primary task is to generate what are usually called basic sentence patterns, and will here, with Chomsky (Aspects, p.ll3), be designated with the expression, frames of category symbols.- The rules of the transformational subcomponent modify, in various ways, the frames generated by the base. For several reasons - one of them being that the correct work of the transformational subcomponent quite often depends on the kind of lexical items with which the syntactic positions in the frames of category symbols have been filled, the lexical items must be introduced from the lexicon into the empty positions in the frames before the rules of the transformational subcomponent can be allowed to modify the frames.

On the basis of new material the author discusses the question of the annexation of the occupied Slovene provinces (Lower Styria and Upper Carniola) to the Third Reich, establishing the reasons for the postponement of the annexation. The paper establishes that legal and technical reasons were decisive for the first two postponements and the national war of liberation for the third and final postponement., Avtor na podlagi novega gradiva obravnava vprašanje priključitve zasedenih slovenskih pokrajin (spodnje Štajerske in Gorenjske) k nemškemu rajhu in ugotavlja vzroke za odložitev priključitve. Ugotavlja, da so bili za prvi dve odložitvi odločilni zakonsko-tehnični razlogi, za tretjo ter dokončno odložitev pa narodnoosvobodilni boj.

The partisan illegal press got a new push after the collapse of illegal printing works in Ljubljana after the capitulation of Italy when from the liberated towns of the then Province of Ljubljana printing machines with the necessary outfit and material were taken to the free woods of Slovenia. This decision was important because after the German offensive in the autumn 1943 these towns were occupied by Germans who made these towns their stable strongholds. In the upper parts of Slovenia (Gorenjsko) where the German foe particularly oppressed our Slovene population the leadership of the liberation movement felt a peculiar necessity to encourage by printed word the resistance of the people against the occupier, and to found therefore his own illegal printing press. The organisation of this illegal press was entrusted by the Provincial Committee of the CPS and the Provincial Committee of the Front of Liberation for Gorenjsko to the experienced and skilled partisan technician Edo Bregar-Don, who succeeded in short time to organise in the free woods of the Poljana and Selce valleys three illegal printing works, which depended directly from the graphic department »B« of the Provincial technic CPS for Gorenjska which linked the whole organisation and managed all the illegal presses and technics in Gorenjska. The first printing press, which got the secret name »JULIJA« he put up in the Poljana valley near the village Log where he dug out for it an underground strongpoint, where he placed a small printing machine. In this foxhole the work started on the 26th of March 1944, and a whole series of leaflets, newspapers and booklets were printed. Because of lack of conspiration they were however compelled to transfer the printing offices to a new underground hiding place which was constructed in the neighbourhood of village Brode down the river Sora. But less than a month of work in this place it has been discovered and destroyed by the enemy. The printers could be saved in the attack but the printing machine has gone lost together with all the records of the press, particularly the most beautiful and most copious work of the printing office the poems of the Slovene revolutionary poet Vladimir Pavšič-Matej Bor. In this, printing place there were printed during the whole time of its existence that is since March 26th until August 23rd 1944 30 different prints in a total edition of 150.850 pieces, what makes more than 600.000 copies. The second illegal printing works, named »TRILOF« the machine of which has been projected and partly constructed by the technician Edo Bregar-Don himself, he established in an underground concrete trench in the Ločnica valley near Medvode. On this machine, which allowed prints of bigger quarter size was printed on the 5-VII-1944 as its first produce »Delavska enotnost« (Unity of workers) a paper of the working class. But already after 2 months of work the printing machine was transferred to Davča in Selce valley. The party carrying parts of machine and the printing material was attacked by Germans when crossing the Sora and the road in Poljana valley where eight partisans fell. At this, occasion several parts of machine and some letters were lost. On the new place at Davča high under the Blegoš Mountain they erected in a wild difficult accessible ravine a wooden hut, where they brought the remaining parts of the machine. The printing machine was repaired, new letters were supplied, and the work continued, until the 2nd of November, when an earth avalanche torn because of a long heavy rain from the steep slope crushed down the hut and burried the machine together with other material. But this disaster too did not take the courage to the persisting partisan printers. They dug out the machine' and letters, and started to print again at a new hidden place. On this spot in the wildness of the woods of Davča under the peasant Span was printed the loveliest and technically most exiting copy, the bibliophile edition of Prešeren's »Zdravljica« (Toast) in 1500 numerated copies. This edition made out in three-coloured print (black, red and gold) is richly illustrated by wholepage artistic linotypes of the painter partisan Janez Vidic and vignettes of the architect Marjan Sorli-Viher. On the front page it has remarkable time fitting dedication, reading: »Issued at the centenary of the »Toast« in the days, when the Slovene people in the holy patriotic war by the blood of his best sons is fulfilling the will of his great singer and seer.« Once more the printers in the plant Trilof had to cease with their work for a longer period. Almost at the end of the war in the middle of March 1945 the German occupator started his great offensive against the National Liberation Army just at the place where the printing machine lay hidden. The printers had again to change the printing tools for rifles to leave their works and to fight through enemy traps and ambushes. But the enemy did not discover in his onslaught the very well hidden, printing plant. The printers returned in the middle of April and started to print again various leaflets, proclamations and booklets, which were mostly printed in two or three coloured print, and embellished with illustrations.' They worked in the printing plant until the liberation, and their last sheet was printed in the night from the 9tl1 to 10t h May 1945. The printers who worked on account of various shiftings of the print plants and German offensives only 8 months on the place printed on an primitive printing machine, which they had to move by hands, 102 different prints in a total edition of 447.214 copies, what makes according to printed copy pages 943.904 stamps.', Ilegalno partizansko tiskarstvo je po padcu ilegalnih tiskarn v Ljubljani doživelo poseben razmah zopet po kapitulaciji Italije na Dolenjskem, ko sta bili preneseni v svobodne slovenske gozdove, tiskarni iz Novega mesta in Kočevja. Tudi Gorenjska je dobila že v decembru 1943 prvo ilegalno tiskarno, imenovano »Tiskarna OK KPS Kamnik« (pozneje imenovana 7-A), ki je začela delati v Šrajevi opekarni v Radomljah, se nato preselila v Rudnik nad Radomljam! in-nato v Kamniško Bistrico. Zaradi težavnejših zvez preko Save in ker se je zadrževalo vodstvo osvobodilnega gibanja za Gorenjsko (Oblastni komite KPS za Gorenjsko — odslej Obl. K KPS za Gor. in Pokrajinski odbor Osvobodilne fronte za Gorenjsko — odslej POOF za Gor.) na ozemlju, ugodnejšem za osvobodilno gibanje, t. j . na desnem bregu Save v območju Poljanske in Selške doline in ker je bila tu tudi »Pokrajinska tehnika KPS za Gorenjsko« (odslej PT KPS za Gor.), ki je organizacijsko povezala in vodila vse partizansko tiskarstvo na Gorenjskem, so začeli misliti na to, da bi postavili tudi na tem področju ilegalno tiskarno, saj ciklostilne tehnike, čeprav številne, niso mogle zadostiti z narodnoosvobodilnim tiskom vseh potreb Gorenjske.

The author of the paper succeeded, on the basis of the concept of the letter which was addressed by Cyprian de Rore on the 1st May 1556 in Ferrara to Wolffgano Aurspergio from Carnia, in discovering the addressee of Rore's composition »Rex Asiae et Ponti«. He found out that the Wolffgano Aurspergio of the letter and Wolffang Aurspurg, whose praises are sung in the text of the composition, were one and the same person. Thus the author concluded that Rore could have presented his composition »Rex Asiae et Ponti« to none other than Wolfgang Engelbert I of the aristocratic family Auersperg in Carniola. According to Rore's letter »Rex Asiae et Ponti« is not the only or the first composition presented by the composer to Wolfgang Engelbert I. The work dealt with in the article is also an interesting indication of an early spreading of Venetian music to the areas included in present-day Slovenia.
