In the wake of accelerated development in the vicinity of the Belgrade Fair and further plans for construction in this part of the city, the events that have unfolded during the past decade of Belgrade's urban development have situated Belgrade Fair as a key topic in the spotlight of the Serbian urban planning community. The objective of this paper is, first and foremost, the formulation of a methodologically broader critical matrix regarding the formation of an approach to the future adoption of strategies for the urban renewal of the Belgrade Fair (Sajam) complex. This complex, in addition to basic research on its architectural and urban qualities, also includes numerous current and temporal aspects from which it is possible to draw conclusions about the issue at hand. These analyses of the architectural and urban value of the fair complex observe the key themes and concepts that define the Sajam's spatial and developmental paradigm. They also accentuate current questions regarding the defragmentation of the heritage of modern architecture in architectural practice. Also highlighted, in addition to the architectural and urban planning composition of the first construction phase between 1953 and 1957, are the today less-known architectural and engineering aspects of the exhibition halls that lack heritage status, along with an exploration of the renewal or transformation of this space through an analysis of recent conceptual design proposals. This study, through synthesis, seeks to establish a comprehensive picture and the broader critical framework needed to pass judgement before the ideological and constructive breakdown of Belgrade's exhibition complex as a paradigm of Yugoslav purism. The conclusions leave space for the appreciation of different approaches, opening up new questions that clearly require social consensus and which have not yet been answered in the public or professional space.

Through the analysis of materials such as online articles, blogs, and radio broadcasts, this paper investigates linguistic purism toward Russian and English loanwords in the understudied context of post-Soviet Armenia. Our analysis finds that public commentators categorize potential loanwords as "borrowings" (փոխառություն [pʰokhaṛutʰyun]) if acceptable and "foreignisms" (օտարաբանություն [ōtarabanutʰyun]) if unacceptable, while also comparing these loanwords with acceptable and unacceptable Armenian equivalent words. In categorizing both loanwords and Armenian equivalents, commentators base their arguments on evaluative contrasts related to threats to the language, the desirability of word meaning and usage, and stylistic appropriateness. Though commentators situate themselves into opposing purist and moderate camps, differentiated by their tolerance of loanwords and classifications of individual words, the two camps rely on the same ideological framework of contrasts and use similar argumentation. Thus, while the debate invokes binary criteria for evaluating words, similar to those identified in other instances of linguistic purism, Armenian commentators themselves often defy binary categorization, falling along a fluid language-ideological continuum in which seemingly opposing commentators sometimes demonstrate striking similarities. Framed alongside prior studies of language ideologies in post-Soviet spaces, this evidence suggests that the loanword debate has a more symbolic than practical function in Armenia's contemporary multilingual society.

MODERNITY , *URBAN life , *MACHINERY , *HUMAN beings - Abstract
This article aims to examine Fernand Léger and Dudley Murphy's Ballet mécanique (1924), focusing on its response to technological modernity. Firstly, it assesses the film's 'Purist' leanings, and especially the notion that it provides moments of reprieve from the perceptual shock that typifies modern urban life. Following this, it provides a close examination of the relationship between the human and the machine in the film, considering whether it seeks to write out the human in favour of the mechanical, or to reconfigure the human with the model of the machine in mind. Finally, the article considers other 'mechanisms' at work in the film – the cinematic apparatus and the human psyche – and the figure of 'Charlot' (Charlie Chaplin) as an emblem of these. It ultimately suggests that Léger is mobilising some of the techniques of the earlier 'cinema of attractions' in order to capture anxieties around the effects of machine culture on the human beings living under its regime.

There has been considerable scholarly interest in the relationship between language and national identity. The topic is vast and multi-faceted, but in this paper we are especially interested in the manner in which the perceived interdependence between ‘mother tongue’ and ‘fatherland’ has often prompted policies intended to protect the former, and therefore the latter, of whatever was regarded as harmful influence. In particular, we intend to survey some lexicographical work undertaken in Great Britain and (what is now) Romania between the middle of the 18th century and the beginning of the 20th century in order to compare decisions on prescriptivism or descriptivism in dictionaries, and the reasons behind them. While some background information will be necessary, our main focus will be the language metaphors which lexicographers and other people who brought a contribution to dictionary making resorted to in order to support their arguments in favour of or against prescriptivism/descriptivism.

Throughout Estonian history, the language ideologies prevailing in Europe have had great influence on Estonian language planning. Language planners, in turn, have influenced the views of Estonian society. In this paper we analyse how language ideologies have supported myths and beliefs throughout the history of cultivating Standard Estonian. The privileged status of Standard Estonian (compared to local dialects) strengthened considerably from the early 20th century. Although Estonian language planning became more tolerant and democratic since the 1980s, a totalitarian understanding of the language still remains in the background. Using foreign words and the mixing of languages and registers is considered especially objectionable due to the ideology of a small nation, which has to defend itself and its language. In the 2020s, discussions about language change and the principles of language planning re-emerged. These have been interesting, because language planning wishes to make the “top-down” language norms of Standard Estonian closer to actual language use, while language maintenance experts still see any potential changes as a threat to the Estonian language and even the nation. Kokkuvõte. Liina Lindström, Lydia Risberg, Helen Plado: Keeleideoloogiad ja uskumused keele kohta Eestis ja eesti keelekorralduses. Euroopas valitsevad keeleideoloogiad on aja jooksul eesti keelekorraldusele suurt mõju avaldanud. Keelekorraldajad on omakorda mõjutanud eesti ühiskonnas valitsevaid arusaamu. Artiklis analüüsime, kuidas keeleideoloogiad on alates 19. sajandist toetanud müüte ja uskumusi eesti kirjakeele kohta. 20. sajandi algul tugevnes kirjakeele staatus (võrreldes kohalike murretega) järsku, samuti süvenes hoiak, et on olemas „õige“ ja „vale“ keel. Kuigi eesti keelekorraldus muutus alates 1980. aastatest leebemaks ja demokraatlikumaks, on taustal püsinud siiski totalitaarne arusaam keelest. Võõrsõnu ja keelte ning registrite segamist peetakse eriti halvaks ideoloogia tõttu eestlastest kui väikesest rahvast, kes on pidanud ja peab ennast ja oma keelt pidevalt kaitsma. 2020. aastatel järjekordselt esile kerkinud uued arutelud on huvitavad, sest keelekorraldus soovib norminguid hoida tegeliku keelekasutusega kooskõlas, kuid keeletoimetajad ja õpetajad näevad võimalikke muudatusi ohuna nii eesti keelele kui isegi rahvusele. Niisiis on pika aja jooksul levinud keeleideoloogiad eestlastes tugevalt juurdunud.

When the language-dialect dichotomy first emerged in the early modern period, several scholars devised terminological alternatives, particularly for the subordinate lower half of the dichotomy. This article examines a series of terminological alternatives in their social and linguistic contexts, considering terms from the Romance, Germanic, and Slavic linguistic zones. Our case studies suggest that there were two main reasons for coining neologisms, or for devising new meanings for existing words. Some scholars sought terms with stronger pejorative connotations, others acted from language purism. Pejorative neologisms generally proved unsuccessful, but several purist neologisms endured.

13. English borrowings in modern Russian. On the problem of linguistic tolerance

borrowing ,english borrowings ,linguistic tolerance ,purism ,levels of linguistic assimilation ,Language and Literature - Abstract
The article studies English borrowings in modern Russian. One of the main factors of borrowing is globalization which resulted in closer cooperation between countries at the turn of the centuries. One of the central problems of sociolinguistics is exponentially intensive interrelation of languages in the modern world. The predictions of perspectives and evaluation of its results for the Russian language have been changing during the last several decades. At present the widely preferred approach is linguistic tolerance to the constant enrichment of the Russian language vocabulary with English borrowings. It is regarded as an inevitable result of scientifi c and technical progress, socio-cultural and economic processes which take place in world integration. The article studies English borrowings functioning in various Internet resources, which are classifi ed according to their thematic groups. These borrowings are analyzed from the point of view of their assimilation by the Russian language on all linguistic levels, namely: phonetic and graphical, morphological, grammatical and semantic. The evidence does not support some pessimistic statements of linguists that the Russian language “is being conquered” by the English language. A good illustration of this phenomenon is, for example, the assimilation of English monomorphemic borrowings, which become polymorphemic in the Russian language as it is characteristic of its synthetic structure as opposed to the analytical structure of the English language. It means that English borrowings take part in some defi nite word-formation processes, such as affi xation, acquiring certain grammatical categories which are typical for the Russian language. It is concluded that inner laws of the Russian language successfully confront uncontrolled expansion of English borrowings.

17. Purism and National Identity : The construction of language and national identity in Serbian and Bulgarian nineteenth-century purist discourse
- Author

Lindgren-Ciampi, Pontus and Lindgren-Ciampi, Pontus
- Abstract
The aim of this thesis is to analyse how the Serbian and Bulgarian nineteenth-century intellectual elites constructed concepts of national identity in media-discourses on linguistic purity, as well as how these purist discourses were situated within their unique Balkan cultural-historical contexts. The dissertation places itself in the field of historical sociolinguistics which suggests a contextual approach to language change in the past and the discourses shaping them. Nevalainen (2015) has subsumed this approach under the integrationist notion of “layered simultaneity”. This notion implies that the meanings which a specific sociocultural community—the Balkan nineteenth-century intellectuals, in the case of this study—simultaneously produces in discourse, are always the outcome of an infinitely complex interplay of historical, social, political, ideological, and cultural contingencies, relations, and entanglements. The material examined in this study consists of fifteen Serbian and Bulgarian periodicals, four pamphlets, and one book. These publications were either originally published in the periodical press or constituted a vital part of debates that had been initiated in the periodical press. All were published in the period of the Serbian and Bulgarian ‘National Revivals’ (1804–1878) and represent platforms where the members of the expanding bourgeois public sphere debated the questions of purism, language, and national identity. The primary sources stretch from 1830 to 1874. This period was formative for the construction of complex and interacting sets of cultural practices and symbols which were intended to define the nation externally – in relation to other nations and unite it internally. According to the then prevailing Romanticist cultural ideology, language was the prime definer of cultural difference and the utmost expression of the unicity of a people. Purist discourses on language and national identity are always embedded in specific historica

NATIONAL character ,DIALECTS ,ARMENIANS ,STANDARD language - Abstract
The formation of the Armenian Diaspora was specifically crucial for the Armenian people and the Armenian language. Armenians worldwide have expanded the range of the Armenian language, exerting great efforts to preserve the integrity of the language. Conditioned by this, one noticeable problem for the literary language has emerged; as much as foreignisms are dangerous for the language, purisms are equally dangerous. The article is dedicated to one of the critical elements of self-determination of Armenians living in the region of New Nakhichevan; the current language status of the Armenian dialect, the scope of its use and the preservation of the national face through language. In order to avoid the danger of assimilation, especially the representatives of the Western dialect group create Armenian morphemes and try to translate all the words indiscriminately, even internationally acceptable terms, which signals the fear living in the subconscious that the distortion of the language will lead to the distortion of the national identity. Dialects also evince features in semantics. In the article, we have presented several words used in the dialect, which, compared to other Armenian dialects, coincide in terms of expression but differ in terms of content. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

HISTORICAL fiction ,LOANWORDS ,CORPORA ,RESISTANCE training - Abstract
In 1847, one of the first professors of Dutch, Matthijs Siegenbeek (1774–1854), published a purist word list entitled Lijst van woorden en uitdrukkingen met het Nederlandsch taaleigen strijdende, 'List of words and expressions at odds with the nature of Dutch'. In this pamphlet, he condemned a variety of loanwords and loan translations. Siegenbeek refers regularly to the usage of disapproved variants, employing a variety of quantifiers and sociolinguistic references. How well such statements reflect the linguistic reality, however, is a contentious issue in studies of prescriptivism. In this paper, we study Siegenbeek's pronouncements about usage against the backdrop of Curzan's concept of restorative prescriptivism. By studying the use of different types of quantifiers, and matching these to a text collection of historical fiction from the time, we show that Siegenbeek's statements about usage miss the mark for most specific variables. However, when we look at the average usage frequency, we see that as frequency terms increase in strength, so do the number of condemned variants, both for relative frequency and absolute frequency. Based on these results, we argue for a re-evaluation of the relationship between prescriptivism and usage, and a reappreciation of prescriptivists' frequency judgements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

20. Le Corbusier's Ineffable Space and Synchronism: From Architecture as Clear Syntax to Architecture as Succession of Events.

- Subjects
SYNTAX (Grammar) ,ARCHITECTURAL design - Abstract
This article examines Le Corbusier's architectural design processes, paying special attention to his concept of "ineffable space". Le Corbusier related "ineffable space" to mathematics, arguing that both mathematics and the phenomenon of "ineffable space" provoke an effect of "concordance". He also argued that when the establishment of relations is "precise" and "overwhelming", architectural artefacts are capable of "provoking physiological sensations". For Le Corbusier, the sentiment of satisfaction and enjoyment that an architectural artefact can provoke is related to a perception of harmony. This article analyzes the reasons for which Le Corbusier insisted on the necessity to discover or invent "clear syntax" through architectural composition. He believed that the power of architectural artefacts lies in their "clear syntax". Particular emphasis is placed on the relationship of Le Corbusier's theories of space with those of Henri Bergson and the De Stijl movement. At the core of the reflections that are developed here are Le Corbusier's "patient search" ("recherche patiente") and the vital role of the act of drawing for the process of inscribing images in memory. For Le Corbusier, drawing embodied the acts of observing, discovering, inventing and creating. This article also relates Le Corbusier's interest in proportions and his conception of the Modulor to post-war Italian neo-humanistic approaches in architecture. It intends to render explicit how Le Corbusier's definition of architecture was reshaped, shedding light on the shift from defining architecture as clear syntax to defining architecture as the succession of events.

21. Mathematics, ethics and purism: an application of MacIntyre's virtue theory.

PHILOSOPHY of mathematics ,SOCIAL responsibility ,VIRTUE ethics ,SOCIAL ethics ,MATHEMATICS education - Abstract
A traditional problem of ethics in mathematics is the denial of social responsibility. Pure mathematics is viewed as neutral and value free, and therefore free of ethical responsibility. Applications of mathematics are seen as employing a neutral set of tools which, of themselves, are free from social responsibility. However, mathematicians are convinced they know what constitutes good mathematics. Furthermore many pure mathematicians are committed to purism, the ideology that values purity above applications in mathematics, and some historical reasons for this are discussed. MacIntyre's virtue ethics accommodates both the good mathematician (and good pure mathematics) and the ethics of the social practice of mathematics. It demonstrates that purism is compatible with acknowledging the social responsibility of mathematics. Four aspects of this responsibility are mentioned, two concerning the impact of mathematics via education, and two concerning explicit and implicit applications of mathematics. The last of these opens up the performativity of mathematical and measurement applications in society, which change the very processes they are supposed to measure. Although these applications are not explored in detail, they illustrate the importance of considering the ethics and social responsibility of mathematics in society. MacIntyre's virtue theory opens a broad approach to the controversial topic of the ethics of mathematics encompassing purism, and absolutist and social constructivist philosophies of mathematics, but still enabling ethical critiques of the impact of mathematics on society.

ETHICAL problems ,SOCIAL responsibility ,ETHICS ,SOCIAL impact ,RESPONSIBILITY - Abstract
This chapter examines the role and need for ethics in mathematical practice. Mathematics is one of the few areas of study in which ethics is widely perceived as irrelevant. Many mathematicians and others resist the idea that we need to consider the ethics of both pure and applied mathematics. The foundations of this resistance are analyzed and located in background philosophies and ideologies of purism and neutrality. The range of social practices is investigated, and different ethical problems and issues are brought to light. It is argued that virtuous mathematicians can legitimately pursue mathematics for its own sake, but as citizens they also have a responsibility to care about the social impacts of mathematics. A review of the literature on the social responsibility of science and mathematics reveals that, although long neglected, concerns about the ethics of mathematics are starting to emerge in publications and training practices. Some of the more ethically sensitive areas are explored and three problematic categories are distinguished and exemplified. These are (1) mathematics in public communications, (2) overt applications of mathematics with powerful social impacts, and (3) the hidden performativity of mathematics in restructuring society, institutions, and social practices.

Pensar en la construcción del conocimiento de la educación inclusiva es, sin duda, un punto álgido, espinoso y caliente. En cierta medida, producto de la multiplicidad de voces que participan de su estructuración, así como de la diversidad de convergencias heurísticas que en ella acontecen. Su comprensión epistemológica rompe con el purismo conservador del trabajo en la intimidad de las disciplinas y de la normatividad y objetivismo de ciertos marcos paradigmáticos, deconstruye las formas de autoridad epistémica sancionadas. Si bien este singular territorio heurístico ha circulado por las estructuras académicas sin bloques de reflexividad acordes a la singularidad que define la naturaleza de su conocimiento, tampoco ha logrado consolidar un corpus de métodos y metodologías de investigación para abordar la complejidad multiaxial y multidimensional de sus fenómenos, lo cierto es que ha consolidado un compromiso político global que marca su trayectoria político-teórica en términos de una epistemología neomaterialista, un sistema de reflexividad comprometido con la interpretación de los signos del presente, un aparato cognitivo comprometido con el devenir del conocimiento.

The article analyzes the names for the chemical elements discovered from antiquityuntil 1945. The etymology of each of the names, which total 96, is given in Section2, together with bibiographical information about their first appearance. In a number ofcases, more names were coined, and, whenever this is still reflected in some languages, itis accounted for (conversely, names such as columbium for niobium are disregarded asthey do not consistute offical names). In the discussion section, the names for the elementsin the three Nordic languages are comparatively analyzed with regard to 1) lexical strategies;2) loanword acquisition; and 3) word formation.

- Abstract
Aquest article es proposa contestar les preguntes següents: 1) és la implantació de la normativa en la varietat estàndard sinònim de (bona) qualitat en aquesta varietat?; 2) és necessàriament un indicador de (bona) qualitat lingüística la implantació de la normativa en les varietats estàndard?; 3) implica necessàriament mala qualitat lingüística la no implantació de la normativa en les varietats estàndard?; 4) es pot parlar de (bona) qualitat lingüística quan es contravé la normativa, si es fa per transgressió?, i es pot parlar de (bona) qualitat lingüística quan es contravé la normativa, si es fa per ignorància? Les nostres propostes finals són aquestes: 1) ateses les característiques estructurals i les funcions socials de la varietat estàndard, que la normativa s’hi implanti és sinònim de qualitat lingüística i sociolingüística en aquesta varietat; 2) en les varietats no estàndard, la implantació de la normativa no és necessàriament un indicador de qualitat lingüística; 3) en les varietats no estàndard la no implantació de la normativa no implica necessàriament mala qualitat lingüística —en serien els límits, però, la genuïnitat i la gramaticalitat—; 4) es pot parlar de qualitat lingüística quan es contravé la normativa, tant si es fa per transgressió com si es fa per ignorància —en serien els límits, però, la genuïnitat i la gramaticalitat. En l’assoliment d’aquestes propostes, hem discutit els conceptes pertinents per a respondre les preguntes, formulats en general però aplicats al català, i, a partir de la definició d’aquests conceptes, hem intentat falsar les hipòtesis afirmatives corresponents a les quatre preguntes., This text aims to answer the following questions: 1) is prescriptive grammar implantation in a standard variety synonymous with (good) quality in such variety?; 2) is prescriptive grammar implantation necessarily an indicator of (good) linguistic quality?; 3) does the lack of a prescriptive grammar implantation necessarily imply poor linguistic quality?; 4) may one speakof (good) linguistic quality when rules are violated, if they are violated by transgression?, and may one speak of (good) linguistic quality when rules are violated, if they are violated out of ignorance? Our final proposals are as follows: 1) given the structural characteristics and social functions of the standard variety, prescriptive grammar implantation is synonymous with linguistic and sociolinguistic quality in such variety; 2) in non-standard varieties, prescriptive grammar implantation is not necessarily an indicator of linguistic quality; 3) in non-standard varieties, the lack of prescriptive grammar implantation does not necessarily imply poor linguistic quality: the limits, however, would be genuineness and grammaticality; 4) linguistic quality may still be spoken of when the rules are violated, whether by transgression or out of ignorance: the limits, however, would be genuineness and grammaticality. The following may be noted with respect to these proposals: 1) to arrive at these proposals, we discussed the concepts relevant to the argument in order to answer the questions, formulating them in general but applying them to Catalan; 2) based on the definition of these concepts, we sought to refute the affirmative hypotheses corresponding to the four questions.

V prispevku je predstavljen Toporišičev odnos do t. i. srbohrvatizmov (izrazov, ki so bili v slovenščino prevzeti iz južnoslovanskih jezikov ali prek njih), kot se kaže neposredno v njegovih jezikovnih kotičkih in delovanju v okviru Jezikovnega razsodišča, posredno pa tudi prek učbenikov in jezikovnozgodovinskih razprav, v tem okviru pa tudi na njegov odnos do srbohrvaščine in do jezikovnega prevzemanja nasploh. The article presents the attitude of Slovene linguist Jože Toporišič toward "Serbo-Croatisms", i.e. loanwords from South Slavic languages, based on his language consulting articles, articles that he published as a member of the "Language Tribunal" and also in his textbooks and language history papers.

The perspectives of purism in the Croatian context The article explores the problem of purism and the criteria for identification of purist interventions that usually occur after changes of political systems. From a theoretical point of view, the article analyzes the definition of purism and discusses the dilemma regarding the existence of a neutral period from the aspect of purism. In that context, it tries to explain why some Croatian linguists denote only some parts of Croatian history as purist. In the first part, the author identifies the problem of the definition of purism and the methodological problems of its observation, while in the second part the article offers a brief comparative overview of perspectives on the need for intervention in the Croatian language in the period 1918 - 1990. The author argues that purism should be assessed according to the degree and methods of removing undesired words from usage, and concludes that partial historical analyses will always result in finding that a particular regime pursued the policy of purism. Therefore, future studies of purism should include elements of comparison and criteria for the evaluation of the policy aggressiveness and of the ideology behind it. Without the latter, linguistic debates on purism, although not intended to qualify certain political regimes, remain primarily indicators of their authors’ political preferences., The article explores the problem of purism and the criteria for identification of purist interventions that usually occur after changes of political systems.

31. Keramikens surrealism : En undersökning av Wilhelm Kåges vasserie Surrea och dess kopplingar till surrealismen.

Soronen, Marianne and Soronen, Marianne
- Abstract
Undersökningen belyser främst historieskrivningen och konsthantverkets position eller snarare dess otydliga roll under 1900-talets modernism. Med funktionalismen hamnade konsthantverk som inte uppfyllde de estetiska kraven med betoning på funktion utanför modernismens historieskrivning. Genom ett historiografiskt stilperspektiv avhandlar undersökningen konstnären, formgivaren och keramikern Wilhelm Kåges (1889–1960) vasserie Surrea (1940). Syftet är att undersöka Surrea som ett keramiskt uttryck för de modernistiska strömningarna i Sverige. Som ett led i det analyseras de samtida tolkningarna av Surrea 1940 och historieskrivningen idag. En annan viktig del i undersökningen är ett försök i att vidga och flytta perspektiv från hur till varför något görs. Därför blir frågor som rör de bakomliggande mekanismerna i skapandet av surreabetydande: -Varför skapar Kåge en vasserie som bryter med de normativa nyttoestetiken? Var skapandet av Surrea präglat av tiden eller/och fanns det individuellakonstnärliga intuitioner? Genom analyser av de texter som uppstod i samband med lanseringen av Surrea framkommer en annan och tydligare berättelse än den som hittas i den samtidahistorieskrivningen. Undersökningen problematiserar detta genom en diskurs om ”den fria formen” som är en definition om konsthantverk som faller utanför modernismens ramar. De egenskaper som definierar den ”fria formen” är samtidigt de egenskaper som det modernistiska konsthantverket Surrea besitter.

Researchers studying language variation and change induced by contact with English initially focused on the linguistic integration of English source language (SL) material in the morpho-phonological structure of the receptor language (RL). Shifting the attention towards the socio-pragmatic localization of English lexical material, researchers now foreground both the social identity work conducted with English material and the pragmatic functions of English lexemes and heritage alternatives. So far however, most of these studies rely on production data, paying less attention to language users’ perception and evaluation of English lexemes. Therefore, integrating insights from language production and evaluation, this study asks the questions (1) which lexical preference speakers express when asked to choose between an English and a heritage form; and (2) which socio-pragmatic parameters help explain this preference. To answer these questions, a forced-choice experiment was conducted in which over 1,500 Dutch-speaking participants were asked to select their preferred expression when provided with a loanword and a heritage alternative. Each participant was offered 12 target trials and 10 filler trials. The target trials, drawn from a corpus-based study, include a balanced set of loans from three semantic fields with various frequencies in usage data. Pragmatic variation was included by randomly presenting the trials in speech contexts of communicative immediacy and communicative distance. Mixed-effects logistic regression analyses show a significant impact of community-based usage statistics, the age and self-reported attitude of the participant, as well as the speech context in which the concepts were offered. ispartof: Linguistics vol:60 issue:4 status: Published online

The present paper provides quantitative data about a mid-19th century proposal by the Serbian Society of Letters to replace foreign scholarly terms with Slavic ones. The data clearly demonstrate that the proposal was a highly successful one in the following two senses. First, a high number of their proposals has been accepted and it is still in use today. Second, an even greater number of foreign words targeted for replacement has been rejected and out of use today. All this is another piece of evidence against a common claim that purism played a very limited role in the history of Serbian vocabulary. At the same time, the present paper provides quantitative support for those linguists who expressed favorable views about this lexical planning proposal by the Serbian Society of Letters. У овом раду представљају се квантитативни подаци приједлога Друштва српске словесности за замјену страних ријечи домаћим. Анализа показује да се овај маневар одликовао високим степеном прихватљивости, те да је ниво одбачености страних ријечи још виши. Ово је онда аргумент против става да је улога пуризма у српској традицији била веома ограни- чена. Истовремено, овај рад квантитативним подацима јасно потврђује по- гледе оних наших лингвиста који су током претходних деценија износили афирмативне ставове о овом приједлогу лексичког планирања.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest zbadanie statusu i frekwencji turcyzmów bunar, fitilj i kaiš (oraz ich rodzimych odpowiedników) we współczesnym języku chorwackim. Praca zawiera próbę zestawienia poglądów chorwackich lingwistów dotyczących tych wyrazów z uzusem językowym reprezentowanym przez korpusy językowe oraz wypowiedzi użytkowników języka uzyskane na podstawie badań ankietowych. Analiza wykazała, że purystyczna polityka językowa prowadzona w Chorwacji, szczególnie w latach 90. XX wieku, spowodowała zmianę statusu wyrazów fitilj i kaiš w chorwackim standardzie: pierwotnie neutralne leksemy stały się formami „gorszymi”. Z drugiej strony, dane korpusowe oraz wyniki ankiety pokazują, że turcyzmy te są w dalszym ciągu popularne w różnych typach tekstów. The present article aims to investigate changes of status and frequency of Turkish loanwords bunar, fitilj and kaiš (and their native synonyms) in Croatian. This study attempts to compare views of Croatian linguists on these lexemes with their practical usage recorded in online corpora and based on a questionnaire survey. The analysis demonstrates that a purist language policy applied in Croatia, especially in the 1990s, resulted in a change of status of fitilj and kaiš in standard Croatian: these originally stylistically neutral lexemes came to be regarded as “worse” words. On the other hand, the corpus study and survey results under discussion indicate that these loanwords are still popular in different types of texts.

The language of the Faroe Islands survived as a spoken language for centuries under foreign rule and the imposition of a foreign language. In 1948 they became self-governed, spurred by an inside movement reclaiming Faroese as the national language and the right to use it in schools, church and office. This was followed with the creation of the written language. Since then, the Faroese language has become a national symbol and entered the political arena through a puristic language policy. In this thesis, I explore the relationship Faroe Islanders have with their language, with a more nuanced view of the linguistic protectionism on the islands, as defying traditional conceptions of a language in stasis. Language protectionism has undergone a shift from the political arena to the social arena, which has lead to increasing agency and an internal development of the language according to what Faroe Islanders themselves consider most valuable. To understand the relationship Faroe Islanders have with their language; why they search for lost words, sayings and meanings, or why they discuss language amongst each other, I situate language and identity within the interplay of larger contexts such as Faroe Islands’ cultural memory and their place in space and time. With an idea of change around the corner, Faroe Islanders inhabit a space between habituation and representation when it comes to many aspects of living life on the islands, underscored by a desire for duration. Language becomes a living thread and connection to that which Faroe Islanders don’t want to lose, a vessel for Faroese values and way of life.
