ZUZANA HRDLIČKOVÁ - BUSINESS ENGLISH IDIOMS VS. BUSINESS TERMS (FRAZEOLOGIZMY V OBCHODNEJ ANGLIČTINE VS. ODBORNÁ TERMINOLÓGIA)
Abstract: The globalisation tendency and increasingly growing e-business have stressed the need for English as the universal language of business communication worldwide. Business English is especially related to international trade. When one is involved in international business he/she often communicates with native speakers and continuously encounters business terms and idioms. Native speakers often use idioms in business communication because they do not modify their vocabulary to help their business partner. Non-native speakers must master business terms and idioms in order not to be at a disadvantage. The main aim of the paper is to focus on business vocabulary, to develop a keen awareness of style – formality vs. informality and the cultural context of language use.
Keywords: business term, idiom, style, communication.

MICHELE PAOLINI - RECODING STEREOTYPES: INTERNATIONAL VOCABULARY, ITALIANISMS AND SYMBOLS OF ‘ITALIANITY‘ IN THE SOCIOCULTURAL CONTEXT OF BRATISLAVA
Abstract: Natural language learning has characteristics of graduality and spontaneity. Spontaneous linguistic learning mechanisms work below the level of consciousness and also operate in learning a second language in an artificial context as happens in a language course. So, unintentional learning is spontaneous and parallel to voluntary learning and precedes metalinguistic awareness. Exposure to publicity signs and public scripts, graffiti, etc. plays an important role in this first stage of learning, which we could call ‘zero level‘. This paper is based on some examples offered by the urban areas of Bratislava and tries to show how environmental inputs can be a valuable educational resource.
Keywords: language learning, interlinguistic communication, Italian language, metalinguistic awareness, environmental inputs.

ĽUDMILA SOLENSKÁ, ĽUBICA ROVANOVÁ - MIESTO RÉTORIKY VO VZDELÁVANÍ PEDAGÓGOV (A PLACE OF RHETORICS IN TEACHER TRAINING)
Abstract: Enhancement of voice potential and improvement of rhetoric style belong to quality training of teachers. Through professional practice of proper usage of voice while teaching, it is possible to avoid distortion of the spoken text which is supposed to address a specific target group. Some German universities have already introduced rhetoric communication for face-to-face teaching which integrates not only articulation, phonetics and voice physiology, but also didactic and methodology principles of speaking in everyday school situations. It concerns reinforcement of learning the spoken communication as the key competence and, at the same time, as the motivation factor of students in the learning process. This article concerns the holistic concept of the discipline encompassing the verbal and nonverbal communication and its practical usage in pedagogical, as well as, non-pedagogical situations.
Keywords: rhetorics, presentorics, language, prosody, body language, breathing, communication, interaction, argumentation, teacher‘s personality.
