This work will talk about the “diye” conjunction and its equivalents in the Bosnian language in the novel „Death and the Dervish“. The work will try to answer the question of whether there are equivalents for the “diye” conjunction in the Bosnian language. Contrastive analysis of the examples from the given novel will show whether there are equivalents in the Bosnian language for the conjunction “diye”, whether the sentences with the “diye” conjunctive have a really intentional meaning, since this conjunction in Turkish language is classified as the conjunction of intentional sentences, if they have intentional meaning, then what differs intentional sentences with the conjunction “diye” from those sentences that have some other meaning. Also, one of the questions that will be dealt with is whether the sentences with the “diye” conjunction are Turkish dependent sentences or not. Morphologically, the “diye” conjunction is a gerund of a verb demek (to say). It is often used as a conjunction “yes” or “how” in explicit sentences. Regardless of its syntactic characteristic, it behaves as a true conjunction and has a subordinator function between two sentences. When translating from Turkish into Bosnian, we come to a situation where we can not find the appropriate translation equivalent, and often then such conjunctions are translated into conjunction appendix, gerunds, proparticipes or participes with a conjunction function. The work will also discuss the syntax and semantic characteristics of the “diye” conjunction, as well as its function and frequency in the Turkish sentence.

Communication and communication behavior are significant phenomena in the field of human action. Positioning in public and media discourse is directly related to the level of communication competence of an individual. Communication competence can be considered as crucial for the appropriateness and success of his or her behavior in the public and media sphere, as well as for the realization and outcome of the public and media discourse of each participant individually and all participants together. On the other hand, the “speed of life” in modern societies also dictates the pace of communication. People are exposed to a large number of emerging situations and relationships that makes communication an increasingly challenging. In addition to the theoretical stronghold on communication and communication competence, the paper examines some of the essential features of communication behavior in public and media discourse, such as the culture of dialogue, the ethics of public words, and hate speech.

When a historical event is transposed into literary discourse, the most important questions are: How do writers shape the narrative? What do they point out? And, what do they insist on when developing the story? The focus of the novel written by Georges Perec, The Sarajevo Assassination, as well as the one written by Zlatko Topcic, June 28, 1914, is not history; they use history only as the basis and subject matter. The basis of these novels is, actually, the attitude to history, that is, the deconstruction of the “great story” of the assassination. Perec and Topcic embark on their own “exploration” of history and treat the official historical narrative critically and creatively. At the forefront is the connection between the historical and the literary discourse, the connection between faction, fiction and metafiction. In both novels historical documents are turned into literary documents. The text is shaped using postmodern writing techniques. In some parts, emphasized self-reference suspends the referential illusion. In general, exploring the issue of the connection between fiction and faction, the novels largely question (and shift) narrative strategies and structures.

In the globalized economic relations Economic diplomacy has experienced a complete affirmation, and that necessarily imposes the need for finding an adequate institutional model on the macro and micro level. Institutional models of economic diplomacy vary from country to country, depending on the extent to cooperate between state and non-state actors. In the case study, we have analyzed the forms of co-operation between these actors in the field of human resources management. The Austrian Human Resource Management Model in Economic Diplomacy can be the basis for creating adequate national models, taking into account the specificity of each country.

The paper discusses the formation of semantic fields in dialogues from the Blackadder TV series, observed through Victor Raskin’s Semantic Script Theory of Humour, in two ways: in the source-text in English and in the Bosnian translation. The corpus is also observed through semantically relevant binary oppositions which this theory entails, as well as transformations realised in the translation procedure. The initial framework for establishing binary oppositions is Raskin’s model of three conceptual categories of semantic scripts: those of common sense, restricted and individual.

In the year 2017, Spain has received the highest number of refugees since 1984, when the Law of Asylum was adopted. Poverty, as well as the conflicts that take place all around the world are the reason why so many people today seek legalization of their status in Europe. It goes without saying that after the long and complicated procedure, not everyone is given the asylum. This displacement of the population has affected significantly the demographic changes in Spain in the last years. Multiculturalism and multilingualism represent important characteristics of contemporary Spain. The assimilation of the new population demands a lot of effort in order to adapt to the new life conditions. The communication with these new entrants would be impossible if there were not for translators and interpreters whose role in these situations becomes very important, which makes the need for interpreters and translators in public services grow constantly all across Spain. Refugees come in contact with employees of the ministries of local affairs or social services, as well as doctors, psychologists or lawyers. These encounters cannot even be imagined without translators and interpreters who are the main link between people who seek international protection and that of local authorities, and the entire bureaucratic procedure is greatly complex for someone who does not know the language of the country they came to. The entrants are almost always treated as the Others, those who are different than Us, often even seen as inferior people, and they cannot belong to our group as such. That is why interpreters and translators are an indispensable link in an intercultural communication such as this one, not only because of linguistic misunderstandings, but also because of the socio-cultural ones. The goal of this paper is to analyze several aspects of translation and interpreting in public services, both in everyday and conflict or crisis situations. Social awareness, especially in the Balkans, as well as the fact that there is an insufficient number of investigations on this topic in our region, were also motives for this research.

Globalization is a process that has entered all pores of modern life, and it can be said that there is almost no individual who is not directly involved or affected by this process. The subject of this paper is the influence of the mass media and the means of modern communication on the further course of globalization. In the introduction, basic terms are defined and a brief historical overview of the emergence and development of globalization is provided. Then, the views of contemporary researchers in this field are briefly explained, and the views for and against globalization are outlined. The main part of the paper deals with the influence of the media on the spread of globalization. As the positive aspects of media development have been emphasized numerous times so far, this article highlights the negative impact of media on processes in the contemporary world. The article offers an overview of the development of the most influential platforms for global media influence and briefly explains and elaborates the relationship between the media and the culture of consumerism. The general conclusion from the research conducted, as well as from the monitoring of contemporary trends, is that the mass media will continue to develop, and that their impact on individuals and communities will continue to grow.

The paper addresses three terms: personal names, anthroponymic formula and anthroponymic category and their determinants in the literary-artistic/fictional style of contemporary Bosnian language. The paper discusses the functions of personal names and establishes the following: 1. referential or identification function that sets an individual apart from the group, it differentiates the individual in the community or extra-linguistic reality and contrasts it with everything else; 2. descriptive function in names with a distinct motive for naming, names that possess a descriptive, connotative meaning (predicates by itself) or names which indicate some characteristics of the named individual, e.g. gender, sex (but not always!); 3. vocative function that attracts the attention of the named individual. By specifying each of the aforementioned functions, the author gives examples from Bosnian literature and their interpretations. The paper also discusses about a descriptive, singular name, nomina mota and patronymics.

The paper deals with the emergence of the first party system in Bosnia and Herzegovina, its chronological functioning since its formation in the period of the Austro-Hungarian annexation, then in the period of the Kingdom of the SHS and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. We analyze the unilateralism from 1946-1990, the restoration of pluralism and the emergence of the first party system of an internationally recognized state of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The party system in Bosnia and Herzegovina is classified according to the Blondel typology.

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, in parallel, independently and in different languages, existed two literary traditions of different but also in many segments related poetics: Baroque in Croatia, originated within the Catholic Counter-Reformation and under strong influence of European Baroque, and Bosniak literature in Oriental languages, in which the central place is occupied by Diwan poetry of sufi-mystic inspiration. Similarities that are in the focus of this thesis are conditioned by social contexts, the influx of religions and religious orders, which has determined the utilitarian nature of these poetics, as well as similar collective and personal experiences of poets dedicated to religious and spiritual topics. In this sense, at the typological-motif level, they have a lot in common, with significant interweaving in expression, sometimes also in the form (length) of poems, and above all in worldview parallels, such as tendency towards the supremacy of hedonism and the affirmation of memento mori life principles. The most common motifs, such as love, infatuation, transience and contempt of this world, sin, as well as motifs of butterflies and candles have been given the most attention in comparative analysis. Sometimes, they are equally understood, but sometimes they have opposite meanings in the works of Baroque and Diwan poets. This literary-historical thesis, in that sense, is an attempt of intercultural and poetically oriented comparative analysis of analogous phenomena from similar and, in many respects, interrelated national literatures.
