FOR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MOTHERLESSNESS AND LANGUAGE AND IDENTITY IN THE WORK OF IMMIGRANT POETS BASED ON THE LYRICS OF MASHA KALEKO

Lali Beridze — 2024-12-30

The article deals with the issue of language and homeland in the lyrics of Masha Kalekko, an important representative of Austrian literature. In it, we briefly touch on the theme of emigration, immigrant literary women, and the life and work of Masha Kaleko.

Specifically, there are not many studies about language as the basis of homeland and identity in Masha Kaleko's work, but in general the issue is relevant and according to researchers, the attitude towards homeland and language is almost typical for female representatives of emigrant literature and reflects the great bitterness and life trauma that happened to them in emigration. For them, the mother tongue remains a defining feature of their identity, even when a person speaks several languages fluently. Even when living in the ancestral land, a person can feel homeless, because the language perceived as native places such a code in a person that he constantly strives for it. This was also the case with Kaleko. He is of Jewish origin, but a German-speaking writer, always in search of his homeland, the homeland that he misses is an icon realized in the German language, despite the immigrant path of his whole life, only German is his native language.

When discussing the problematic of his lyrics, it is clear that in the author's work, the language appears as a lyrical hero as well as an imaginary homeland. Despite the multilingualism, the author's high assessment of the role of the native language once again emphasizes the opinion established in reality about the combination of language and identity.

The topic of the article is also relevant for modern society, which gives Masha Kaleko a special place in Austrian literature as an author who was expelled from her homeland, forgotten and yet rediscovered. For the article, in addition to finding and familiarizing with existing studies on the subject, we used our own translations of Masha Kaleko's lyrics for the analysis of the author's lyrics.

STEM teaching-learning is directed to make the pupils interested in studying of the world of reality, to be able to analyze natural regulations, to develop research skills, to increase a caring attitude the world around. The teaching of science subjects and acquired skills with assistance the pupils to learn modern technologies, to think critically and to act relevantly of the surroundings. As a result , the pupil gains confidence and increase pleasure due to successful learning and from what was achieved. In the learning process of natural sciences, it is important for students to see STEM as a area of science, of which development has impacted on their daily routines. In our daily live, pupils systematically keep in touch with the advancements of science, such as electronic goods, cosmetics, mobile phones and others, nevertheless few of them consider that these achievements are related with science subjects.

Pupils often assume these subjects as necessary, mandatory subjects in the school curriculum and thus it is less popular in school and as well as lacking in interest. In the regular course, pupils do not realize the connection between theory, research and their technological processes, they do not react how modern science is created, what the life of a scientist is like and what influence scientific achievements have had on people's everyday life. Studies conducted by different organizations have illustrated that there is a sharp decrease in pupils' interest in science subjects, for both girls and boys.

The basic reasons of lack of information about accessible employment in science, the existing learning environment at schools, and inappropriate teaching approaches are decreasing interest and motivation. One of the major factors determining the interests and motivation of the pupils is the volume and complexity of the teaching material and tasks to be performed in the textbook, and the monotonous lessons conducted by teacher. Over the years, biology teaching was based on memorizing theoretical knowledge, there were few lessons in real nature, the lack of practical work and experiments have led to a decrease in pupils’ motivation, interest, and involvement in the learning process, which directly affected the level of pupils' knowledge.

Irma Abesadze — 2024-12-30

Religious policy in the Soviet Union meant constant battling against any kind of religion in the state. Govenrment used atheism as well as party members and other high ranking officials to spread their ideas more thoroughly. Stalin, during the 40s changed this approach and tried to be more lenient toward various religious groups.
The following paper tries to gain deeper understanding of the effects of above mentiond leniency on Samtskhe-Javakhetis religious identities. During the period Soviet government tried to fix their relationship with orthodox church and other religious groups, but also tried to be indifferent toward them. This relationship can be well observed on the example of Samtskhe-Javakheti region.
Main finding of the paper is that Soviet unions idea of having different relationships toward diferent religious groups heavily slowed down integration of different ethnic groups. Policy also caused even more conflicts in already difficult region.

Gulnara Janova — 2024-12-30

The article deals with English neologisms used by Facebook user students at Samtskhe-Javakheti State University. The development of technology, Internet-based communication, and the creation of social networks have advanced the role of social media. Accordingly, it improved the communication between people.

Social media has the closest connection with the Internet and since English words are mainly derived from the discourse of the Internet, they are easily and widely spread on social media. News in social media is spread through social networks. Thus, social networks are the main source of the influx of English words into the Georgian language.

Quite a great number of English lexical units are related to social networks. Such as domain, blog platform, server, user, post, spam, share, panel, application, timeline, profile, cover, and others. Consider some of them: The word server in the Oxford dictionary is defined as a computer program that controls or provides information to several computers connected to a network. In Georgian it is defined as – server as well. The word – a user in social media means a person who uses various social networks. Spam is an advertising message sent by e-mail without the consent of the recipient. Since there was no corresponding word for this term in the Georgian language, it was established as a neologism. The word - Panel has many definitions but in social media, it refers to a large format photo. Profile ინ social networks means a short biographical, informative page about the user, etc. As a result of the conducted research, the words young people prefer to use on social media have been identified.

The article aims to find English neologisms and study the frequency of their use among young people. Many Georgian equivalents of English neologisms require explanation, and often several words are needed. Due to this, users prefer their short versions.

Diana Mikeladze — 2024-12-30

The coronavirus pandemic has caused profound changes around the world, affecting various aspects of human life. The pandemic has not only changed our daily lives, but also affected the lexical aspect of the English language. In the process of fighting the virus, new words and expressions emerged to describe new experiences, phenomena and social norms. The paper aims to investigate and analyze the vocabulary that has developed in the English language after COVID-19, to clarify the dynamic nature of language evolution in the context of the global crisis. Social events and technological advances throughout the centuries-long history of human existence have always influenced the evolution of language. The COVID-19 pandemic is the source, prompting linguistic innovation to capture the unique experiences and challenges of this era. Understanding the emergence and adoption of new words and expressions provides valuable insights into how language serves to reflect societal dynamics and cultural change. In the field of linguistics, a number of studies have been conducted to identify and analyze new words and expressions that have appeared after COVID-19, to compile, define and analyze a list of neologisms and expressions related to the pandemic based on a systematic approach, and to categorize lexical items according to thematic areas, such as: health, technology, social behavior and economics. Examples of vocabulary items were collected from a variety of sources, including media articles, social media platforms, and academic literature. The analysis revealed new words and expressions that have entered the English language since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The linguistic innovations presented in the conference paper reflect the multifaceted impact of the virus on society.
