Empirijske provjere Triversove teorije recipročnog altruizma među nesrodnicima
Empirijske provjere Triversove teorije recipročnog altruizma među nesrodnicima
Katarina Mirković
Altruistično ponašanje definira se kao ponašanje koje pogoduje jednom pojedincu, ne nužno u srodstvu, a očigledno na štetu pojedinca koji izvodi altruističan čin. Altruizam iz perspektive evolucijskih objašnjenja može djelovati paradoksalnojer nije jasno zbog čega bi evoluiralo ponašanje koje dovodi do gubitka za jednu jedinku i istodobnog dobitka za drugu jedinku. Postoje dokazi da se društvena razmjena kao oblik suradnje pojavljuje u svim ljudskim kulturama. Naposljetku, i...
Engleska u razvijenom srednjem vijeku
Engleska u razvijenom srednjem vijeku
Alen Krmar
Brakom iz 1002. godine normanska se dinastija uključila u nasljeđivanje prijestolja Engleske. Edvard I. Ispovjednik umro je bez nasljednika te je započela borba za prijestolje u kojoj je 1066. godine bitkom kod Hastingsa i smrću Harolda I. pala anglosaksonska vladavina, a vlast preuzela nova normanska dinastija i Vilim I. Osvajač. Ujedinio je posjede Normandije i Engleske te stvorio Anglo-normansko carstvo. Vilima I. naslijedili su njegovi sinovi prvo Vilim II. 1087. godine, a zatim...
Engleska u vrijeme Elizabete I
Engleska u vrijeme Elizabete I
Dina Baričević
Kraljica Elizabeta kao posljednji izravni potomak dinastije Tudor vladala je Engleskom četrdeset četiri godine. Od njezinih najranijih dana ništa nije upućivalo na to da će jednoga dana upravo ona sjediti na engleskom prijestolju jer je u liniji nasljeđivanja bila tek treća po redu. No stvari su se posložile u njezinu korist te je nakon smrti brata, a potom i sestre naslijedila tron. Ono što se nametalo od prvoga dana njezine vladavine bilo je pitanje vjere: katolicizam ili...

Engleska u vrijeme Ratova ruža
Mihaela Komar
Nakon dugotrajnih borbi između Engleza i Francuza za francusko prijestolje tijekom Stogodišnjeg rata, u kasnosrednjovjekovnoj Engleskoj uslijedili su novi sukobi, ovoga puta među Englezima za vlastito prijestolje. Naime naziv Ratovi ruža odnosi se na građanski rat u Engleskoj, odnosno niz isprekidanih sukoba koji su trajali od 1455. do 1487. godine. Smrću kralja Edvarda III. 1377. godine ostalo je neriješeno pitanje legitimnoga nasljednika engleskog prijestolja na koje su pravo...

English idioms of Scottish origin and their equivalents in Croatian
Lidija Funtek
Phraseology is a field of study that investigates a set of linguistic units called phraseological units. These units are expressions which consist of at least two independent words. Such expressions can be idioms, proverbs or any phrase which may carry connotations and have an empathic or intensifying function in a text (Fiedler 2007: 23). Every language has its own idioms and proverbs which enrich it and give the language more colourful and personal note. Standard English language on its...
