This paper is concerned with cases of double literary, personal and linguistic identities in contemporary Slovenian prose. This identities present themselves in works of Maruša Krese (Christmas Stories), Brina Svit (Moreno), Erika Johnson Debeljak (Foreigner in the House of Natives, You are so mine), Maja Haderlap (Angel of Oblivion), Goran Vojnović (Southerners go home!). The presented cases display not only linguistic, but also national german-Slovenian, French-Slovenian, English-Slovenian or Bosnian-Slovenian dualities. Besides, this author's works present interesting forms of interculturality being the subject of literary history's recent efforts.

COBISS.SI-ID: 19510024The analysis focuses on the realization of the contemporary dialectal speech of North-Eastern Slovenia in the film Petelinji zajtrk (Rooster's Breakfast, 2007), based on the literary work of the same name by Feri Lainšček (1999), which was written in Standard Literary Slovene. The article also discusses the issue of the translation of the dialect speech with intralingual/monolingual (in this case, Slovenian) subtitling in Standard Literary Slovene, for those who do not understand the dialect, and (at least in part) for the hard of hearing and the deaf.

COBISS.SI-ID: 19375624Neuroscience has proved a malleable nature of our brain. The way of thinking is changing lifelong and not only in early childhood. New media as television, video games, and the Internet change students' cognitive skills. New visual-spatial skills, such as iconic representation and spatial visualization are developed. But parallel to these changes new weaknesses occur. Those are in higher-order cognitive processes, as abstract vocabulary, mindfulness, reflection, inductive problem solving, critical thinking, and imagination (Greefield, 2009). Those are the reasons why reading curriculum in contemporary educational system should focus on two groups of aims: deep online reading and linear literature reading. By deep reading is meant the sophisticated processes that propel comprehension and that include inferential and deductive reasoning, analogical skills, critical analysis, reflection, and insight. By linear literature reading is meant primarily reading of fiction, which develops the imagination, inductive analysis, critical and abstract thinking.

COBISS.SI-ID: 19703560The article deals with dialect literacy on a sample of high school art pupils from two perspectives. The first aspect shows dialect literacy of age-groups, which in classic dialectologic research is ussually not a representative sample of the information (adolescents from 15 to 18 years of age). The decision to observe adolesvents is based on some previous research which showed that dialect is more perceived as a value, regardless its rural or urban use.

COBISS.SI-ID: 19696136The investigation of examples shows that the frequent use of modified idioms and patterns in advertisements is semantically and pragmatically motivated. Both idioms and patterns - idioms as structurally and semantically determined units and patterns as titles of well-known literary works, films and other works of art - are saved in the mental lexikon and represent a kind of short-cut between the sender and the receiver in the transmission of the desired meaning. Every modification of an idiom or a pattern for the purpose of the actualization of its use an advertisement is thus a deviation which attracts the receiver's attention.
