Human as the protector of creation
© 2020, Slovenska Vzdelavacia Obstaravacia. All rights reserved. The biblical vision focuses on several different concepts of the role of humanity in the world. The authors concentrate on a model of the biblical myth of Adam, who is charged with ruling over other creatures and protecting them from danger. This model, which comes from the older mythical fabric of the ancient Near East, is then transformed both theologically and ethically in a Hellenistic era. It is from the end of the Hellenistic period that the New Testament texts about Adam and Christ appear. The article continues to focus on the shape of the human-creature relationship, focusing on the current world and the social problems created by the insufficient protection of the world. The subsequent challenges come from biblical paradigms: humanity as protector, wise housekeeper and caretaker. The authors work with particular regard to the Christian paradigms, but they will also mention in passing the current models in force in Judaism and Islam

Peculiarities of using creative neologisms in publicistic texts
Creative neologisms are a strategic unit of communication, increasing the importance of modern publistic texts. The paper aims to consider the phenomenon of creative neologisms by the example of text fragments of English-language newspapers and to implement an adequate classification of creative neologisms. The relevance of studying creative neologisms in modern publicistic texts is due to the fact that they can be considered as the linguistic and discursive potential of a publicistic text. The methodological basis for the research comprises method of linguistic-stylistic analysis based on Sánchez’s typology (2016) of the creative neologisms according to their construction devices. The findings suggest that the potential of using creative neologisms in the publicistic texts is high though the percentage of literary creative devices is rather unstable as compared with the formal ones. Although the corpus study is not very big, this trend is quite visible. The experiment has also shown that the level of students’ awareness of literary creative devices that are less frequently used in the publicistic texts is high and can be explained by the differences in perception of creative neologisms by the writers and readers, though this assumption requires further research. © 2019, Slovenska Vzdelavacia Obstaravacia.
