Persons with disabilities are a vulnerable group, marginalized, stereotyped and stigmatized everywhere. Although developed countries, especially the US, have made a significant progress in this field, the position of this population is still very difficult in third-world and developing countries, such as Bosnia and Herzegovina. This study seeks to explore how the position of persons with disabilities is reflected in metaphors used in media. The first aim of the paper is a contrastive analysis of the most common metaphorical source domains in Bosnian and American press, and the second is a three-dimensional analysis of conceptual metaphors: linguistic, conceptual and communicative level.

As a consequence, many regions worldwide have developed their own varieties, often referred to as World Englishes. These varieties have their own features which are not typically used by native speakers. In this paper, we studied English websites of Bosnian companies, institutions, clinics and universities in order to find common structural features used by Bosnian speakers of English which are not commonly (or not at all) used by native English speakers. The study shows that most of the non-standard features can be attributed to L1 interference as they reflect the structures which are typical of Slavic languages.
