Nikolina Stanković Due to globalization, numerous companies are crossing borders and expanding to foreign countries. This includes running campaigns in foreign languages. However, many marketers don’t understand the importance of hiring a competent translator. The language of advertising is specific and is often closely linked to its culture.

-
Martina Kovačević Anglicisms are loanwords which come from English and can be found in a great number of languages in the world.

-
Damir Božić Bei dem im Jahr 1943 erstmals ausgestrahlten Film „Immensee“ von Veit Harlan handelt es sich um die erste Verfilmung der gleichnamigen Novelle von Theodor Storm. Theodor Storm zählt zu den Hauptvertretern des poetischen Realismus. Seine Lyrik befindet sich zwischen Spätromantik und Realismus, bei der es vor allem um die heimatliche Landschaft, sowie Liebe und Ehe geht. Die Textvorlage war nicht der richtige Stoff für einen unterhaltsamen Film, sodass an vielen Stellen Erweiterungen...
