-
Maja Marić Rudyard Kipling’s Kim (1901) and E. M. Forster’s A Passage to India (1924) are some of the best works of symbolic colonialist literature, literature which tries to find solutions to the problem between the colonizer and the colonized.

Matija Ćutić Regulacija intelektualnog vlasništva postala je sve češće i teže pitanje početkom 20. stoljeća. Dok je zakonska regulacija autorskog prava bila velik korak za novinarstvo, filozofiju i umjetnost općenito, posebice književnost, velika je razlika između ideja i sporova koji su obilježavali razdoblje prvih konkretnih zakonskih regulacija nasuprot onih koje je donio tehnološki razvoj te općeniti napredak društva.

The first paragraph of the thesis has to do with the reception of the novel and its contemporariness. The next chapter...

Corpus research on the use and meaning of "burn out"

Monija Škriljevečki This thesis explores the literal and metaphorical use of burn out. Based on a corpus study of native English written works, and related literary work, it argues that burn out is motivated by the literal conceptual frame of A FIRE STOPPING TO BURN and its relating properties. These properties include heat, light, smoke, use of burnables and energy, burning sensation, and working as a selective eliminator and destructor. Except for the literal meaning of burn out directly involving fire, the...
