The appearance of portrait miniature is traditionally dated back to the 16th century when the miniature became a portrait genre. The Reformation processes occurring in Europe at the time also influenced the genesis of forms, technique and style of portrait miniatures. This paper focuses on the factors (related to the Reformation) which affected the formation of new images embodied in H. Holbein’s and N. Hilliard’s works. The rise of the portrait miniature as a new type of portrait, its features, and uniqueness of its properties are explained through the study of certain political, social, and cultural aspects of the Reformation movement in the context of English art.
Šioje etnomuzikologinėje knygoje apžvelgiama lietuvių muzikos kaita nuo XX a. pradžios, kai Lietuvos kaimuose dar tebegyvavo ir buvo iš kartos į kartą perduodamos polifoninės giesmės sutartinės, iki XXI a. pradžios, kai sutartines ėmė puoselėti miestiečių bendruomenė, jos tapo nebe paveldimos, o išmokstamos. Šią kaitą, liaudies muzikos persikėlimą į miestą, jos gyvavimą urbanistinėje aplinkoje greta daugybės kitų muzikos stilių ir reiškia knygos pavadinimas „Nuo tradicinės polifonijos iki polifoninės tradicijos“. Tyrimas baigiamas žvilgsniu į šiuolaikinį miestą, kur muzika kuriama, jos klausomasi ir mokomasi pasitelkiant įvairias medijas, kur senosios polifoninės giesmės virsta „elektroninėmis sutartinėmis“.
This article deals with the study of Armenian anthroponymic system, particularly, with the morphological structure and etymological semantic of proper names. The aim of this article is to explore derivative models of proprial word formation in order to show the transformation of lexical units and grammatical units into proprial word formation morphemes. The question of interpretation of morphological structure of foreign proper names becomes actual by their rendering in other languages. A common rendering difficulty is caused by almost lack of any explicitly grammatical gender designation in Armenian personal names and surnames. Commen suffixes serve as proprial signals.
This article analyzes the question of the correct use of the phrases for the verb aptarnauti or the forms of this verb. The article discusses the semantic structure of these words and their disparate interpretation in the dictionaries of Lithuanian language. The data is collected from the Corpus of Modern Lithuanian Language, the sources of various functional styles, and the survey shows the real usage of the verb aptarnauti (and the noun aptarnavimas). The correctness of the usage of the examples is analyzed and special attention is given to some problematic cases that require more detailed analysis. This research indicates that some of the phrases, which users view as incorrect, comply with the language norm and specifically describe the characteristics that can help distinguish correct phrases from incorrect phrases.
2016 m. pavasarį klaipėdiečiams buvo pristatyta Klaipėdos universiteto mokslininkės Jūratės Lubienės monografija Lietuvių kalbos mikonimai: nominacija ir motyvacija.

Visus grybus autorė pažino ir į knygą su spalvingomis jų nuotraukomis sudėjo. Ir ne bet kaip sudėjo, bet pagal vardo prigimtį surikiavo.

The Polish-Lithuanian conflict did not die down in the autumn of 1920 after the termination of bloody fighting, but instead persisted. However, from then on, the conflict continued mainly at the diplomatic level, in propaganda, and in the operations of the secret services: subversive and sabotage-related activities, propaganda-based subversion, disinformation and intelligence-related activities. On the Polish side, these activities were conducted by agencies of the Second Department of the General Staff (Central Headquarters) of the Polish army, and on the Lithuanian side by the Intelligence (Information) Department of the General Staff (Supreme Staff). A distinctive feature of Lithuanian intelligence directed against Poland was the substantial involvement of women, and using Lithuanians who were citizens of the Second Polish Republic doing their mandatory military service in the Polish army. The most costly victories over Polish intelligence were attributed to women agents of Lithuanian intelligence.
Modern comparative linguistics that is anthropologically oriented (as well as cognitive linguistics in general, as I have already mentioned in one of my previous publications [Vasko 2013, p. 3–8]), is characterized by the change of scientific view on the interpretation of word semantics which is of particular importance for etymology as a part of comparative historical linguistics and directs its study into the field of etymological analysis of the word in the unity of its meaning and form (semantic reconstruction). The development of cognitive and comparative linguistics involves research of the word etymological versions in a close contact with their cognitive perspective, particularly through the prism of the Conceptual Metaphor Theory by J. Lakoff.
