ZDENKO DOBRÍK – THE LINGUISTIC LANDSCAPE OF ERLANGEN WITH THE EMPHASIS ON STREET NAMES AND OTHER PUBLIC SPACES FROM THE DIACHRONIC-SYNCHRONIC PERSPECTIVE AND IN COMPARISON
Abstract: In most scholarly and specialised texts, linguistic landscape is described and interpreted from a synchronic point of view with the emphasis on the present. However, linguistic landscape can also be viewed from diachronic and diachronic-synchronic perspectives. The names of public spaces are also part of the linguistic landscape. This study is focused on the selected former and current street names of Erlangen, Bavaria and presents their comparison with the selected street names in Banská Bystrica. The aim of the presented comparison is to point out similarities and differences in the street naming processes as well as in the street names of these cities. The analysis of the presented phenomena drew on social constructivism.
Keywords: linguistic landscape, street names, Erlangen, Banska Bystrica, diachronic-synchronic perspectives, comparison.

NINA MOCKOVÁ – SLOVAK IDIOMS WITH TOPONYMIC ELEMENTS IN THEIR STRUCTURE
Abstract: The present paper focuses on idioms with a toponymic lexeme in their structure intending to explain the historical origin of such idioms and their place in Slovak phraseology. From the chronological point of view, these idioms contain toponymic elements from the ancient, medieval and modern periods. Toponyms from the period of antiquity most often refer to events from the Bible or the history of ancient Greece. Toponyms from the medieval period reflect the socio-political events of Europe from the 11th to the 16th century. Finally, toponyms referring to the modern era have their origin in the Hungarian-Turkish wars. The paper also examines the accuracy of the given phraseological units in the contemporary Slovak language with the help of two electronic corpora: the Slovak National Corpus and the Aranea corpus.
Keywords: phraseology, idiom, history, toponym, Slovak language, Antiquity, Middle Age, Modern Age, Europe, corpus.

ZELMÍRA PAVLIKOVÁ – ORIENTATIONAL METAPHORS IN SPANISH ECONOMIC TERMINOLOGY AND THEIR SLOVAK EQUIVALENTS
Abstract: This article will analyse the orientational metaphors obtained from a corpus of selected metaphors from the newspapers El Economista and Alternativas económicas between 2021 and 2022. The aim of the study is to analyse metaphorical terms related to spatial orientation and to see which source domains are the most frequent. In addition to characterising, grouping and classifying metaphorical orientation terms, we aim to determine the degree of figurative meaning of the Slovak equivalents. On the basis of semantic analysis, we have classified the different metaphorical terms into groups according to the source domain: inside/outside, background/surface, high/low, and central/peripheral.
Keywords: metaphor, orientational metaphor, economics, term, economic terminology.

JARMILA RUSIŇÁKOVÁ – ACADEMIC E-PORTFOLIO
Abstract: The aim of the article is to explore the concept of e-learning and e-Portfolio as a relatively new instrument of schooling with its advantages and possible disadvantages. In particular, the author tries to attract the attention to the role and importance of academic portfolios. The portfolio serves as a means of monitoring students` authentic learning, guiding the student to reflect on his/her own work and giving him/her the opportunity to decide on the quality of the work done. The KEGA project “e-Portfolio as Pedagogy Facilitating Integrative Learning“ (012EU–4/ 2023) carried out at the University of Economics, Faculty of Applied Languages, Bratislava and the Trnava University, Faculty of Education, Trnava, is presented in the second part of the article.
Keywords: assessment, authentic learning, e-portfólio, feedback, higher education, monitoring.

ANDREA TUREKOVÁ – DANGEROUS LIAISONS 1782 – 2022 FROM CLASSICAL LITERATURE TO POPULAR LITERATURE?
Abstract: The novel Dangerous Liaisons (1782) by Choderlos de Laclos is one of the most famous and imitated novels in French literature. Since the middle of the 20th century, there have been numerous literary transcriptions, continuations, transpositions, as well as theatre and film adaptations. In 2022, the latest film adaptation from the French production was created under the unchanged title Dangerous Liaisons. This paper is dedicated to the novel adaptation based on the script of the film. The analysis is focused on the question of intertextual relations between the original novel and its transcription, on the level of narrative technique as well as on the thematic level, while noting the modernizing elements that, on the one hand, increase the appeal of the text for the contemporary reader, but on the other hand, move Laclos’ masterpiece towards to popular literature.
Keywords: 18th-century French novel, modern re-writing of literary texts, Choderlos de Laclos, Dangerous Liaisons in the 21th century.

DIDACTICS AND METHODOLOGY OF TEACHING AND FOREIGN LANGUAGES
Abstract: Assuming preparation of teaching materials for English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses requires analysis of existing being proven as examples of good practice for both teachers and learners, there arises the need to scrutinize such a lingua-didactic material used at UNIZA (University of Žilina) from a linguistic viewpoint. Therefore, the article examines the course book’s Security Personnel texts. Specifically, the research addresses the cognitive semantics viewpoint, notably, Fillmore’s frame theory. Accordingly, the analysis shall outline some features of the course book based on its semantic interpretation of selected examples. A kind of empirically driven research supplements brief corpus analysis. Keywords: English for Specific Purposes, Corpus, Cognitive Semantics, Cognitive Frames, Security Frame, Idiosyncrasy of technical language. pp. 53 – 61 JOZEF BRUK – A CORPUS-BASED RESEARCH INTO COGNITIVE-SEMANTIC FEATURES IN ESP COURSE BOOK SECURITY PERSONNEL
