This paper provides a pragmatic analysis of the model of impoliteness in the light of narcissistic language, as many multidisciplinary studies have shown that personality dimensions, such as narcissism, may be related to specific language patterns. Narcissism is, therefore, commonly associated with the violation of polite language usage. The aim of the research is to identify impoliteness superstrategies, as provided by Jonathan Culpeper, in fictional conversations found in the screenplay of the epic movie Gone with the Wind. We conducted data analysis using conversation analysis and speech act theory. The results of the study will demonstrate whether there is a significant correlation between narcissistic personality disorder and impoliteness and what the quality of this relation is.

Over the last decade, the issue of the development of intercultural communicative competences (ICC) through modern digital tools has become topical. The aim of this paper is to point to the potential of digital technologies for the development of ICC. The paper offers an overview of research studies which confirm the efficiency of various digital tools in the development of intercultural interaction. The research results suggest the importance of Internet tools such as e-mail, digital stories, podcasts, television, and discussion forums in telecollaboration projects aimed at developing intercultural communication. In the conclusion we assert that the development of digital technologies and the emergence of new generation Internet tools provide exceptional opportunities for the development of an intercultural environment and communicative competence. In addition to numerous advantages, there are also possible problems which can arise in communication in an electronic environment, which can be avoided with dialogue and greater tolerance for different cultures.

The paper discusses Ken Loach’s critically acclaimed film, I, Daniel Blake, which, as it is argued, examines and condemns the neoliberal redefining of both the state and the citizen in contemporary Great Britain, setting this central issue in the wider, emotionally charged framework of labour, health, illness and death. The first part of the paper offers a brief, and selective, overview of current critical and theoretical thought on Anglo-American neoliberalism, state and citizenship, and summarizes the basic tenets of the recent work by Cherniavsky (2017), Brown (2015), Mirowski (2013), Wacquant (2011) and Harvey (2005) in particular. As countless other theorists and critics who further develop Foucault’s (1978) insights in the 21st century, they also agree that “the neoliberal turn” has resulted, inter alia, in a strong punitive state which nonetheless retains the outward signs and the institution of a democratic, Keynesian welfare state, including, as Loach’s film demonstrates, the social services. While the critics agree that such a transformation of the state and the citizen is particularly noticeable in contemporary USA, I, Daniel Blake demonstrates that austerity-era Great Britain is not far behind.

The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the ways in which cruelty is used in the selected three plays by Edward Albee. All of the ways examined can ultimately be connected to the central purpose of the Theatre of Cruelty by Antonin Artaud, which is to reveal what is real, or, as Albee claims, to put up “an accurate mirror of reality” (Amacher 1969: 22). The first part of the paper covers definitions of cruelty and the Theatre of Cruelty, and also connects Edward Albee to Antonin Artaud. The following three sections provide the analysis of the plays by Edward Albee - “The Zoo Story” (1959), “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” (1962), and “The Death of Bessie Smith” (1960). There are different ways in which characters in these plays use cruelty; in “The Zoo Story” cruelty is combined with kindness in the shape of teaching emotion; in “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” the characters use cruelty to annihilate the illusion and perform catharsis and exorcism; and, finally, in “The Death of Bessie Smith”, cruelty is presented in the form of psychological and verbal abuse.

Construction Morphology which is fast becoming an alternative term to Derivational Morphology is known to be rooted in Lexeme-Based Morphology and is noted for its Lexeme Formation Rules that are formulated to account for the construction of existing derivational words which serve as models for the creation of other yet-to-be-attested words in human languages. The advent of Lexeme-Based Morphology is as a result of the inability of morpheme-based models to adequately account for some morphologically derived words. Proponents of lexeme-based morphology, hence, believe that it is more appropriate to analyze morphologically formed words when lexemes are seen as the basic units of morphological operation. It is in the light of this hypothesis that we set out in this paper to do a lexeme-based study of the agentive French suffixes –ant, –eur and –iste in order to examine its analytical adequacy. After a careful analysis, the study reveals that the lexeme-based approach to construction morphology seems to be more adequate than the morpheme-based approach.

The Elizabethan period witnessed a proliferation of Neo-Latin drama in Oxford and Cambridge universities and in the Inns of Court. Despite the sheer bulk of academic drama and its role in paving the way for the mature drama written in the vernacular, it has not yet received adequate critical attention. Consequently, this paper tries to shed some light on this neglected genre by presenting a reading of the surviving drama Solymannidae — a play which draws on the history of the Ottoman dynasty. In creating action and characters the anonymous playwright borrowed extensively from the classical dramatic conventions, but, at the same time, he was original in representing the Turkish cultural identity. The discussion unveils the drama’s pioneering role in introducing plots from Eastern history on the English stage and its contribution in formulating the dramaturgical practices to perform them. In this paper there is also an attempt to verify Solymannidae’s source. The present inquiry aims to extend our knowledge of English Neo-Latin drama which is customarily excluded from the mainstream of scholarship.

The study intends to examine three major plays by Sam Shepard – “True West”, “Fool for Love”, and “A Lie of the Mind” – to explore the underlying causes of women’s subjugation from Julia Kristeva’s perspective, which is adopted here as the theoretical framework. Kristeva’s views on the exclusion of women from the symbolic order to maintain a gender hierarchy will be utilized to pinpoint the reasons behind men’s violence towards women. Moreover, we shall examine the struggles of female characters to liberate themselves from the oppression of the symbolic order by resisting the demands of patriarchy. The findings suggest that female characters’ attempt to delimit the definition of female subjectivity and motherhood is in line with Kristeva’s promotion of a new interpretation of femininity/maternity. In the study, we have come to the conclusion that, in accordance with Kristeva’s theories, the attempts of women to follow their desire and reconstruct female subjectivity is the ultimate strategy to disrupt patriarchal hegemony.

The paper aims to explore the cognitive status of the correlative conjunction ‘not only … but also’ on a sample of advanced Serbian EFL students. The experiment is based on grammaticality judgments, and it utilizes a reaction time (RT) study, coupled with the moving screens paradigm. Stimuli (sentences) have been constructed based on the most frequent errors identified in students’ exams. Sentences containing errors related to faulty parallelism are presented word-by-word, with a mask, using the Open Sesame software. Increased RTs are understood as correlates of processing difficulties, and in addition to RTs, response accuracy was also recorded. The results show that in the majority of cases a lag in RT occurred precisely in the error position, and such delays were directly connected to sudden drops in the number of accurate responses.
