(Dis)ability in A Song of Ice and Fire: The Lion, the Wolf, and the Kraken
Dunja Dernej
George R. R. Martin is irrevocably one of the greatest fantasy novelists of all time, and his crown jewel is definitely A Song of Ice and Fire. The way he creates and develops his characters is considered to be a revolutionary novelty in literature. Men, women, rich, poor, middle-class, young, old, heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, educated, uneducated, maesters, knights, ladies, women warriors, and so on – each has their own place within the Song. What this paper will focus on, however,...

(Pra)slavenski supstrat obredno-običajne kulture Đakovštine
Katarina Šijaković
Iako se nalazi u drugom planu, stara vjera Slavena prisutna je u obredima i običajima koje moderni čovjek prihvaća i njeguje. Tema je ovoga rada utvrđivanje izravnih i neizravnih veza između (pra)slavenske podloge obreda i običaja i obredno-običajne kulture na području Đakovštine.

A Match or Mismatch between Teaching and Learning Styles in Teaching English as a Foreign Language at the Primary School Level

Language learning styles are the ways learners like to perceive and process new information, while teaching styles refer to the ways teachers like to organize and present that information to the students. There is a variety of teaching and learning styles, which resulted in a number of theories and classifications of the two. Many researchers have established that teaching and learning styles have an influence on the way teachers and learners behave in the classroom. This paper aims to...

A Corpus Study of Partitive Expression – Uncountable Noun Collocations
A Corpus Study of Partitive Expression – Uncountable Noun Collocations
Anja Kolobarić
This research paper explores partitive expressions not only as devices that impose countable readings in uncountable nouns, but also as a means of directing the interpretive focus on different aspects of the uncountable entities denoted by nouns. This exploration was made possible through a close examination of specific grammar books, but also through a small-scale corpus study we have conducted. We first explain the theory behind uncountable nouns and partitive expressions, and then present...

A Critique of Society and Human Nature in The Importance of Being Earnest, The Tragical History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Mirta Jakšić
This research paper attempts to demonstrate how authors use their literary works to pass on covert messages. Wilde, Marlowe, and Twain established themselves as skillful critics of the society they lived in. All three of them successfully satirized society and human nature in their writings. Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest is a brilliant comedy. He discloses the pretense of society and ridicules its social institutions. Wilde exposes the superficial indifference to true love...

A Gender's Apocalypse: a Comparison of Power Relations in Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale" and Naomi Alderman's "The Power"
Bruno Kulić
Combining dystopian with feminist fiction tends to lead to literature that feels current, yet evergreen because it deals with enduring human problems. The Handmaid’s Tale and The Power are complementary examples of feminist dystopian fiction that reveal contemporary concerns related to the issues of gender roles, abuse of power, and equality. This paper will use constructivist feminist notions to examine gender roles and relationships in these two texts.

A Study of Horror Elements in H. P. Lovecraft's Short Stories of the Cthulhu Mythos
Edin Omeragić
Howard Phillips Lovecraft is considered to be one of the most prominent innovators of the horror genre. By taking an analytical look at three short stories pertaining to his Cthulhu Mythos, namely The Call of Cthulhu, The Shadow over Innsmouth and The Dunwich Horror, one can easily see the lengths the author went to in order to facilitate the seemingly simple task of frightening his readership. By carefully rooting his stories in certain horror clichés and even Gothic traditions, as well as...
