Linguistic utterances can convey content which represents the speaker’s main point and is considered to be at-issue, as well as secondary content which is interpreted as not-at-issue. A large number of diverse expressions which carry some kind of not-at-issue content have been identified. The present paper contributes to the ongoing investigation of one group of such expressions, non-restrictive relative clauses (NRRCs), in English as a foreign language. The starting point of the paper is an approach developed by Jasinskaja (2016), which accounts for at-issue status within the general theory of discourse interpretation. An important prediction that it makes is that final NRRCs connected with their main clauses via coordinating discourse relations should express more at-issue behavior than final NRRCs connected with their main clauses via subordinating discourse relations. Relying on this approach, the present paper aims to investigate the way Serbian EFL students interpret the at-issue status of NRRCs and to compare the results to the existing data in English (Živković 2016). The direct rejection test (Tonhauser 2012) was used to diagnose the at-issue status of the test items, which involved the manipulation of coordinating and subordinating discourse relations between main clauses and NRRCs. The overall results indicated that the percentage of rejections targeting coordinate NRRCs was significantly higher than the percentage of subordinate NRRC rejections. Comparing these results to the ones obtained in English showed that Serbian EFL students performed at the same level as native speakers of English when interpreting the at-issue status of English NRRCs.

Andreas Frangias is one of the most important Greek post-war writers. He published four novels that cover the second half of the 20 th century. Three of the four novels take place in the urban surrounding of a big city that could be any European city of the same period, which makes them and their messages universal. The aim of this paper is to examine if and in what way the cities and the houses influence their inhabitants and if and how the inhabitants influence the houses. These interconnections obviously occupied the attention of Frangias, since even the titles of the first two novels announce them. We will examine the condition of people and their houses, as well as the whole city in three important after-war periods for Greece – immediately after WWII, after the civil war of 1945-49 and in the ’80s, when the whole society was already overwhelmed with a consumerist mentality and strongly controlled by the invisible authority. It is of our interest to find out which influences are stronger and more evident. Do the psychological and emotional condition and the economical situation of the inhabitants influence their surroundings, do their surroundings influence them or are both of these true? Are these influences the same in each period? What are the messages or perhaps warnings that Frangias might have wanted to pass on to us through these interconnections?

The paper examines the setting of the supermarket as a non-place in Don DeLillo's novel White Noise, published in 1985, and its lastingness in contemporary culture. Critics have been mainly focusing on the consumerist and religious meaning of the place of the supermarket in the novel, disregarding its spatial implications. As a place, the concept of the supermarket is present in the philosophical thought of the French anthropologist Marc Auge who had developed the term “non-place” during the last decade of the twentieth century. It is this paper’s aim to prove beyond doubt that DeLillo’s concept of the supermarket, as portrayed in White Noise, matches Auge’s notion of a non-place. Other non-places include: a hotel room, a highway, or an airport. Furthermore, there exists a difference between “space” and “place” which is essential for the genesis of a non-place, including the one of the supermarket. This shopping area is marked by transience and created with a certain intention in mind, but it simultaneously represents a familiar place, which is precisely the way numerous DeLillo’s characters perceive it in the novel. The longevity of the supermarket as a non-place can be found in the present cultural context as well. The present-day symbolism of supermarkets is precisely the kind DeLillo wrote about and Auge expounded on.

This paper is a partial replication study of the one done by Heidlmayr et al. (2014), and concerns the effect of second language use on inhibitory control/cognitive inhibition analysed by means of a Stroop Colour Word task in both L1 and L2, i.e. Serbian and English. Our aim was to test the starting hypothesis of the original research which states that the frequency of L2 use in successive bilinguals has an impact on their inhibitory control mechanism. The bilingual subjects asked to take part in the study by doing the bilingual version of the test are all EFL teachers at the Faculty of Philosophy in Nis. Their use of L2 is akin to that of bilinguals living in an L2 environment (such as those from the original research), in the sense that they communicate daily using L2 and cover a wide variety of topics with their students. Our monolingual subjects, who served as control group, were randomly chosen from the same age group as bilinguals (older adults). They were asked to do only the L1 version of the test. The purpose of this small-scale research was to give a contribution to the ever-growing debate concerning the cognitive advantages of bilingualism.

The 2016 US Presidential Elections brought about one of the fiercest election campaigns so far, ending in a tight victory of Donald Trump, the Republican candidate, over Hillary Clinton, the candidate of the Democrats. The public appearances Trump made at rallies were one of the main tools he used in profiling himself as the new leader of America. In the light of the unstable situation in the world and the frequent terrorist attacks on Western states, Trump’s rhetoric regarding the issue of “Radical Islamic terrorism” was the key factor that propelled him towards victory (Azarian 2016). When he tackled the problem of terrorism, one of the discourse mechanisms that he used in abundance was a set of conceptual metaphors drawn from different spheres of human experience. The aim of this research will be to contribute to the role metaphor plays in discourse by highlighting some of the most salient and frequent metaphors in Trump’s terrorism rhetoric, including the conceptualizations involved and their conceptual implications in discourse.

The demand for changing the conceptions of teaching and learning has brought peer- and self-assessment into the classroom. This paper presents the challenges teachers have to face while preparing the assessment process for the ESP classroom, with a special emphasis on developing ESP students’ speaking skills. It is of primary importance that teachers know how to prepare the assessment criteria, how to instruct students on this topic and provide them with adequate feedback while avoiding possible barriers and misunderstandings along the process. The paper further demonstrates how students become active participants in the learning process and are asked to contribute in providing assessment criteria and feedback. While learning speaking skills, students also learn how to assess themselves and others. That enables them to raise awareness of the most common problems and mistakes they encounter when developing their communication skills and increases the overall level of their language ability and performance. As a result, teachers might dedicate more time to other useful classroom activities.

The study traces the historical phenomenon of Saint Nicholas, the renowned icon known as Santa Claus. The objective is to demonstrate how advertisers have seized the virtues of Santa Claus as an article of persuading consumers. Owing to the interdisciplinary nature of this enquiry exemplified in the domains of history, linguistics and advertising, the concept of ideology enraptured in interpellation is adopted as both the analytical tool and discursive assistant to unravel the data meaning-making potentiality. The author utilizes twelve adverts associated with Santa Claus as illustrations in which six of them are from the Coca-cola Company ® as a reference of honour as well as a signal to the role the institution plays in promoting the heroic persona. The study reveals the universality and acceptability of Santa Claus in global affairs during the Yuletide season. That hegemonic influence is perceived as motivation for advertisers to project Santa Claus in a civilized way as a cook, a dove or an angel, a car lover or owner, an alcoholic or a lover of alcohol, and a banker. Santa Claus with his traditional values enthralled in kindness to humanity is further represented as a parsimonious person somehow addicted to sugary contents without any unhealthy resultant effects. In all, the traditional etiquette of Santa Claus established by Saint Nicholas and promoted by Coca-cola ® , the study suggests, is worthy of emulation for all. Perhaps, through such characteristic adoption the political violence and terrorism intimidating the world can be laid to rest in no time and at less cost.

Development of intercultural communicative competence (ICC) in the constraints of the classroom faces many obstacles: not just formal, in terms of the choice of approaches, material and assessment, but also ethical and value-related. Building intercultural awareness in future teachers is equally important, as they should be prepared not only for the intercultural classroom, but for the imminent diversity that any classroom encompasses: ethnic, socioeconomic, gender, learner style. One of many techniques that have been used in the ICC classroom is cooperative story writing. The collaborative project was done by the American and Serbian university students, the former starting the stories and working under the instruction of Professor Kenneth Cushner, an intercultural communication specialist, and the latter finishing them. The jointly written stories showed that both students were up to a degree stereotypical in their understanding of the other culture, but were at the same aware of the steps that had to be taken to improve intercultural communication. A small-scale study is used to show how the learners’ understanding of culture may be enhanced, with a special focus on how future English language teachers might benefit from it.

Undoubtedly the constructive, dialectical relation of the literary works reflects the significant and diachronic people’s need to be orientated towards revived cells of the archetypal core, but also to the actualized motives related to their mythic foundation. This universal ascertainment is verified by the fact that famous and gifted creators adopt the unparalleled spirituality and the profound messages that spontaneously spring from selected verses of classic Greek tragedies. In a perfect connection with intellectually enlightened Sophocle Andre Gide, perspicacious Proteus of the French dramaturgy and Yannis Ritsos, the revolotionary figure of the Modern Greek poetry deal with Philoctetes, the legendary archer: Thus the puritanical nuance of bourgeois arrogance and the unrestrained, youthful impulsiveness are bridged at Gide’s “ Philoctetes ” (1898). At the same time the anti-conventional, hedonistic poet’s gens are harmonized ideally with the standards of the traditional literature. Analogously at the homonymous poem of the awarded collection “ The Fourth Dimension ” (1963-1965), at this non-marxist inspiration Yannis Ritsos released from political beliefs approaches the existentialistic balance of the conscious choice between the active, social responsibility and the subjugated art.

The paper focuses on a detailed analysis of Robertson’s personal queries related to the issue of Scottish independence in two short stories, Republic of the Mind (first published in 1993) and MacTaggart’s Shed (2012). Since there is a conspicuous time span in-between the publication of these stories, it is our purpose to track, explore and describe how Robertson’s treatment of the same subject has changed over the years, particularly having in mind the references to the Devolution Referendum (1997) and Independence Referendum (2014) in these stories. Bearing in mind the idea of an artist as an active communal participant (Rich, 1993), Robertson ostensibly favours the political cause of Scottish independence; however, his short stories depict his personal doubts about its realization in future practice, a stance that proved to be completely justified after the unsuccessful Independence Referendum (2014). The theoretical framework of the paper relies on the critical insights of Scottish scholars, Campbell, Taylor, Thompson and Massie, as well as numerous contemporary journalist accounts of Scottish political analysts.
