Abstract: German is characterized by great regional, functional, sociolinguistic, and situational diversity. It belongs to the pluricentric languages and is used as an official language in several countries. In addition to the standard languages, there are dialects, colloquial and everyday languages. All language forms of German have different pronunciation peculiarities. A strictly regulated language system and language norm, which also includes the pronunciation norm, is typical of German. The article points out that German is (pronounced) and implemented differently in different communicative situations. In the next step, phonological competence is also addressed as the basis for acquiring the correct standard pronunciation.
Keywords: speaking, norm, Standard pronunciation, phonological competence, pronunciation peculiarities in German, the suprasegmental phonetic features.

MICHAELA ČIEFOVÁ, PAVOL RAK – KOMPARATIVE ANALYSE DER DEUTSCHEN UND SLOWAKISCHEN SPRACHE AM BEISPIEL VON VERTRÄGEN (COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF GERMAN AND SLOVAK LANGUAGE ON THE EXAMPLE OF CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS)
Abstract: The objective of the present paper is to analyse the differences and similarities between two Indo-European languages (German and Slovak) using legal documents (contracts and agreements). The initial thought behind the research is the mutual origin of the two languages resulting in similarities concerning morphology, syntax, and lexis, that should be visible in legal texts as well. Simultaneously, we consider the respective legal systems. Hence, the research is interdisciplinary in nature, applying both linguistics- as well as law-related knowledge. We use qualitative research methods, predominantly comparative and descriptive analysis and synthesis.
Keywords: legal language, legal systems, Indo-European language family, comparative linguistics, contract, Slovak, German.

NINA MOCKOVÁ – JAZYKOVÁ INTERFERENCIA U SLOVENSKÝCH ŠTUDENTOV ŠPANIELČINY AKO CUDZIEHO JAZYKA (LANGUAGE INTERFERENCE OF SLOVAK STUDENTS OF SPANISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
Abstract: The main objective of the present paper is, from the perspective of language interference, to have a closer look at linguistic production (oral and written) in Spanish of Slovak university students who have Spanish as their first or second language. It observes what kind of errors these students make most often and, at the same time, at which level of language they occur. This means: the orthoepic, ortographic, grammatical (morphology and syntax) and lexical level. It examines the reason of such errors, always in relation to students´ mother language (Slovak) to reveal how much the language interference of the mother language occurs in the process of acquisition of a foreign language (Spanish) and, at the same time, if the interference occures at all levels.
Keywords: Slovak, Spanish, language interference, error, student, level.
