Adamikné Jászó, Anna: The Diary of an Exile. Jókai Mór's second volume of short stories in 1850 (abstract)

The Diary of an Exile is artistic series of short stories, describing a sorrowful, but variegated picture about the situation after the defeat of war of independence in 1848–49; its argumentation and style are also variegated. The structure of the series of short stories is defined by the logic of enthymeme, the introduction is the starting point of argumentation, the short stories detail the assertion of introduction. This solution is characteristic in the later works of Jókai. Another import-ant tool of his argumntation is the example, i. e. the parable. His style is characterized by the rich abundance of figures. Jókai's art can be put into a new perspective by the rhetorical knowledge and rhetorical analysis.

Keywords: rhetorical analysis, rhetorical argumentation, enthymeme, example, figures.

Hungarian discourse analysis predominantly relies on English and German sources and their respective languages, however there are communicational norms that differ from them, for instance in the Spanish language. The following article sheds a light on the differences regarding turn-taking with special interest in the function of discourse markers. Not only can a wider understanding of these differences help prevent the spreading of cultural cliches, but it is also essential for those who are learning a new language, seeing as it is necessary to fully develop conversational competences. (Cestero, 2005). The more effective said skills are, the faster you can learn a language and the less misunderstandings occur during intercultural conversations.

Linguistic interactional devices (e.g. forms of address, including T and V variants) are inextricably linked to the organization of social relations. This explains why the topic has attracted interest in a variety of discourse domains from everyday interpretations of linguistic experiences through etiquette books guiding linguistic behaviour to sociolinguistic, pragmatic studies into the social aspects of language use.The goal of the paper is to present the various everyday, academic and mediating discourses thematizing linguistic interactions, and to explore how these discourses relate to and inform each other. As the analysis shows, the dominant types of metadiscourse are those which serve a normative, regulating function. An especially prominent role is played by evaluative judgments spread through the channels of etiquette, education and language cultivation, which display an evident lack of knowledge about the relevant research results.

The aim of the paper is to demonstrate how efficiently tools of teaching methodology which are especially gaining in primary and secondary school can be used in technical higher education despite many obstacles. Previously, lessons of our course received lower interest than average from students which appear in declining intensity of attendance thus ambition was to make our lessons more attractive. Hereby we hoped that curriculum becomes easier to learn and completion rate of our course improves. Our research compares three semesters of the same course using differents methods and tools, held on two faculties of the university This way we were able to compare not only different solutions of teaching methodology within a faculty but also among faculties. Our results show that during these phases students’ activity in the classroom and completion rate of our course improved.
