‘Anyway’ is a multifunctional, context‑dependent expression that functions as a contrastive‑concessive conjunct and a connective discourse marker. The paper focusses on the treatment of its connective functions in Czech translations from English. By examining the fiction and subtitles in the parallel translation corpus InterCorp, this paper reveals a tendency towards zero equivalents in both registers. In cases of explicit equivalents, the dominant translation of sentence‑initial ‘anyway’ in the subtitles is ‘každopádně’, which is structurally close to the English discourse‑marker function, while in the fiction ‘ale’ and ‘ostatně’ perform this role. The analysis of clause‑initial and clause‑final ‘anyway’ shows that the syntactic distribution is a criterion of great significance.

This paper examines the use of prepositions in the L2 English speech production of L1 speakers of Czech. The data is sourced from a spoken corpus comprising forty c.15-minute interviews. L2 English preposition use was studied by means of potential occasion analysis, and the results show that prepositions pose a challenge to EFL learners. Careful scrutiny of the data revealed an increasing tendency toward preposition accuracy in speech across proficiency levels A2 to B2. Moreover, it is hypothesized that the participants’ incorrect EFL preposition selection is influenced by their L1 knowledge.

Frederika Pekarčíková
This paper examines the dialogue of voices in Ali Smith’s novel Autumn to explore the role which art plays in the writer’s fiction, an issue which has been largely neglected in studies of her work to date. In the novel, the theme of art is addressed through several different voices, but the effect of polyphony that this generates is not necessarily part of the theme’s dialogic design. The paper also argues that intertextuality is employed to establish the semantic position of the character of Elisabeth, suggesting a metamodern sensibility.

Yao Yuan
The article analyzes the history of the concept of the “American Dream” in Chinese American literature, and particularly in the work of the Chinese American writer Charles Yu. In his novel Interior Chinatown, he examines the stereotypical perception of Chinese Americans in the eyes of white Americans and highlights the problems that Asian Americans have to deal with, e.g. national identity or discrimination. The novel shows how difficult the process of achieving the American dream is for Asian Americans and how difficult it is for them to find the answer to the question “Who am I,” which is closely connected with the realization of their “American Dream.”

Rédouane Abouddahab
Some of Hemingway’s posthumous fiction engages in dynamic intertextual relations with Lolita. The study identifies some of these protean links but goes further, pointing out the structural and ethical differences between the two authors’ work, Nabokov’s being rooted in a logic of perversion, while Hemingway’s dramatizes what can be called perverse temptation combined with sublimation. The study, which is based on intertextuality but not limited to it, proves helpful for a better understanding of the tension generated between desire and non‑normative sexuality, thus engaging in a debate with the perversion‑oriented criticism that tends to situate Hemingway’s work in perverse clinical categories

The purpose of the paper is to explore the collection of poems Ocean Power by Ofelia Zepeda through the lens of the interdisciplinary field of ecolinguistics. The article examines issues such as the role of language in the relationship between humans and their physical environment or in the maintenance of the social and cultural unity of its speakers. It also focuses on how Zepeda’s verses portray selected aspects of environmental injustice, including dispossession, displacement, and cultural impairment. The analysis provides evidence that it is reasonable to define Zepeda’s creative writing as environmental poetry with an eco justice bent. The bilingual character (English‑Tohono O’odham) of the poems can be interpreted as an attempt to resist the demise of linguistic and cultural diversity.
本文的目的是通过跨学科的生态语言学视角来探讨奥菲利亚·塞佩达的诗集《海洋力量》。这篇文章探讨了语言在人类和自然环境之间的关系中所扮演的角色，以及语言使用者的社会和文化统一的维护。它还关注塞佩达的诗句如何描绘环境不公正的某些方面，包括剥夺、流离失所和文化损害。分析表明，将塞佩达的创作定义为具有生态正义倾向的环境诗歌是合理的。这些诗歌的双语特征(英语- Tohono - O 'odham)可以被解释为抵制语言和文化多样性消亡的一种尝试。

This paper explores the search for identity in the short story “Never Marry a Mexican” by Sandra Cisneros, examining such identity characteristics as ethnicity, race, gender, and marital status. Additionally, such defense mechanisms as denial and projection are analyzed, as well as the structure of the story. Overall, the analysis shows that finding one’s identity is so crucial that if a person does not comply with the conventions of human society, he or she may start looking for possibilities of identification outside the human race
