* 1 I would like to thank my former doctoral advisor, Sarah Smyth (Dublin), for providing invaluable insights into Andrey Stolz and also the general topic of literary stereotypes. I am also indebted to my doctoral readers, Justin Doherty (Dublin) and Joe Andrew (Keele), and to my anonymous reviewers at Slověne for their valuable critiques and the additional sources they suggested for the fi nal draft of this article.

is henceforth to become a new publication series at the Centre for Research in Breton and Celtic Studies (crbc) of the University of Western Brittany (ubo), Brest. This builds on long-term collaboration between research centres in Celtic Studies at Ulster University and UBO. Studia Celto-Slavica was originally launched in 2006 with the publication of the Societas Celto-Slavica inaugural colloquium proceedings at Coleraine. 1 Altogether, eight volumes of the series have been published. 2 The series invites contributions on topics such as Celto-Slavic isoglosses, Indo-European linguistic heritage and archaeological data, Celtic place-names in the Slavic countries, parallels in languages, literatures and cultures, as well as similarities between Celtic and Slavic narrative and folklore traditions. Developing from this original Celto-Slavica framework, the series now accepts articles on Celtic Studies topics in general. 1

The Slavic Languages (TSL) covers a very large number of topics as they apply to eleven modern Slavic languages (both varieties of Sorbian are treated together, and Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian are treated under the single label B/C/S). Reference is also made to Common Slavic, as well as to Old Church Slavonic. This feat is accomplished by offering a rather limited treatment of most topics. For example, in the chapter on Slavic dialects, approximately three pages are devoted to the dialectology of each of the eleven languages considered. Since this approach only scratches the surface, it would be easy to accumulate large numbers of topics which are considered essential, but which were not included in this book's chapters. This review will concentrate on what is good and what is bad about the topics which are covered by TSL, but occasionally it will be necessary to indicate topics of great importance which have been omitted. One wonders about the intended audience of this book. On the one hand, it seems too specialized for the non-Slavic linguist, who may not want full coverage of all eleven languages on every possible historical, phonological, morphological, and syntactic topic. Most such books-the classic being De Bray (1969) and by far the best to our mind being Comrie and Corbett (1993)-have a separate chapter for each Slavic language, but the approach adopted by the authors of TSL is to sequentially treat each topic as it applies to the various Slavic languages. This would permit a linguist to immediately focus on a target language, instead of having to see each issue dealt with in terms of all the Slavic languages. The representative on the various languages also does not seem balanced; Sorbian in particular seems overrepresented vis-à-vis other, much more studied, Slavic languages. Moreover, many of the discussions combine and confuse phenomena which we feel would have been better treated separately. On the other hand, if the book is a bit daunting to the non-Slavist, its coverage of many issues will surely be seen as oversimplified from the vantage point of the Slavic specialist. The discussion of syntax is cursory and superficial while, as noted, the coverage of dialect zones gives only a brief description of each area. The approach of treating each topic in terms of all the Slavic languages means that a consistent system of phonetic and phonemic transcription must be used. Since all Cyrillic spellings are transliterated into the Latin alphabet, it means that the authors are constantly operating with three transcription systems across eleven or more languages. This complex system, set forth on pp. 590-592, would seem very complex for the non-Slavist. The all-important palatalized consonants are marked with an ''italic prime,'' while the usual apostrophe indicates a palatal www.elsevier.com/locate/lingua

ple in Germany, and Mariyanka Borisova Zhekova (Sofia, Bulgaria) presents forms of Bulgarian national consolidation in the Maghreb country, namely, a Bulgarian school, a folklore dance ensemble, and cultural events organised by the Bulgarian community in Morocco. Irina Dushakova (Moscow, Russia), just like T. Matanova, addresses prominent historical figures and their perception by our contemporaries in her article on Soviet leader Joseph Stalin and the way his personality and memory of his deeds are framed by the Russian media. Politics and religion are at the centre of the study presented by Yuliia Uzun and Svitlana Koch (Odesa, Ukraine). The researchers analyse the religious legislation of Baltic and Balkan countries and consider the changes in state-religion relations of the last two decades. The article by Evgenia Troeva (Sofia, Bulgaria) also deals with the changes that occurred in European culture in the last decade of the twentieth century and later. She addresses the topic of apocalyptic expectations in Bulgarian society and shows the palette of the modern images of the future, concluding that secular apocalypticism is coming to the fore. The last article of this section was prepared by Monika Balikienė, Jurgita Dečiunienė and Vytautas Navickas (Vilnius, Lithuania). In their study of the traditional taboo in Lithuania, the authors demonstrate how generational change reveals itself in the cultural lexicon with the change of living conditions, the image system and family relations. The second part of the volume, under the generalising title "The Ritual Year in the Context of Changing Rules" begins with the contribution of Oleksandr Ganchev and Oleksandr Prigarin (Odesa, Ukraine) on the fluctuations in the seasonality of births and marriages among Bessarabian Bulgarians. The authors lead us to the field of historical demography while establishing links with the issues relevant to the studies of traditional culture (those of family rites). This article serves as a bridge connecting the discussions held during the fourth Balkan and Baltic conference and the other five proceedings of the two panels organised by the Ritual Year Working Group at the 15th SIEF Congress. The next four articles are written in a diachronic key and consider transformations of the traditional rituals and symbols in different Balkan and Baltic countries. The issues related to birth and marriage are analysed by O. Ganchev and O. Prigarin and are also addressed by Rasa Paukštytė-Šaknienė in her study of Lithuanian material. She scrutinises the ritual actions with two key participants of these events (a midwife and a matchmaker) and shows the development of respective rituals in the historical perspective. Introduction Natalia Golant (St. Petersburg, Russia) centres her research on a symbolic object-a shirt made by Romanians in ritual circumstances to combat plagueand considers the changes in its functions and perceptions over time, while Alexander Novik (St. Petersburg, Russia) considers the border between the sacral and the profane, examining diachronic relations within the Albanian community. The transformation of ethnological terminology in Lithuania is considered by Dalia Senvaitytė (Kaunas, Lithuania). The final article of this section by Mare Kõiva and Andres Kuperjanov (Tartu, Estonia) is devoted to the transformation of roles between a student and a teacher in the context of Estonian Teachers' Day. In the closing section of the volume the reader will learn about the Bulgarian conference on the ethnology of socialism and will enjoy the short essays on the jubilee of Emily Lyle, the founder of the SIEF Ritual Year Working Group. The publication of this issue coincides with the ninetieth birthday of this exceptional scholar, to whom we are delighted to express our gratitude, respect, and admiration. The studies presented in this volume address important and topical issues of our time related to memory, the ritual year, culture and heritage, religiosity and ethnicity, history and the future. We hope that this issue will find its reader and raise new questions.
