POUR L’ANALYSE DE L’AUDIOVISUEL: CONTRAINTES LINGUISTIQUES ET SÉMIOTIQUES

Author(s): Lamiae Slaoui,Bouchra Berrada / Language(s): French Issue: XVI/2024

Our article mainly deals with the constraints relating to the specificities of audiovisual discourse. Admittedly, this one presents itself under a double aspect: the text and the image which lead to a plural interpretation of the whole making the reading more difficult. Our example of audiovisual discourse submitted for analysis is the fable « Le lion et le rat ». Among the studied linguistic elements, we can mention the lexicon and the prosody at the level of the text, and the space and the iconographic codes at the level of the image, aiming to finally arrive at the point of view adopted by the analysis, that of the complementarity of the two signs.

The collective and individual expressions of humour in social media spaces: insights from the socio-political context of Jordan after the 2011 Arab Spring

Author(s): Yousef Barahmeh / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2024

This article seeks to establish a theoretical framework for considering how the collective and individual expressions of humour in social media spaces have been used and presented in the socio-political context of Jordan after the 2011 Arab Spring. This framework moves from the collective to the individual and makes Mikhail Bakhtin and Sigmund Freud complementary to the study of Jordanian social media humour after the Arab Spring. It argues that Mikhail Bakhtin’s theories of carnival and the carnivalesque (folk humour) have a functional similarity to Sigmund Freud’s theory of humour (release theory) because both seem to agree on the role of repression to influence the production of humour. Although repression is being understood differently (for Bakhtin it is political repression, which is usually a conscious decision, while for Freud it is self-repression, which is usually unconscious), humour can provide us with a strong mechanism for overcoming repression, or at least, giving the individual or the crowd the impression that they are challenging repression without necessarily challenging the status quo i.e., calling for regime change or revolution

Humorous elements in virtual onymic creations

Author(s): Magdalena Kawęcka / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2024

Informal use of anthroponymy is an integral part of the lexical resource of every language. The subject of this article is issues related to media onomastics (the review concerns terminology in internet forums). The aim of the article is the material exemplification of proper names, emphasising their formal features and ways of functioning on a specific communication plane.The task is to show certain tendencies and motivations in the field of creating virtual proper names in terms of their humorous value. In accordance with the adopted research perspective and the purpose of this article, when explaining the process of creating media onyms, reference was made to the mechanisms of name-forming derivation and the theory of humour, in particular the theory of incongruity. The specific communication channel creates new opportunities for language users and is an interesting research field for onomasts because, with the development of computer technology, the terminology began to go beyond the traditionally accepted standards

ОТНОШЕНИЕ НА ЕКВИВАЛЕНТНОСТ НА ИЗБРАНИ ПОЛСКИ И БЪЛГАРСКИ ТЕРМИНИ В СЪДЕБНИ АКТОВЕ (ПО НАКАЗАТЕЛНИ ДЕЛА)

Author(s): Natalia Długosz / Language(s): English,Bulgarian,Polish Issue: XXXVII/2024

The article juxtaposes Polish and Bulgarian terms in terms of the names of courts, the names of court authorities, assistants, parties and other persons involved in the case in Polish and Bulgarian. The compilation of the juxtaposition made it possible to resolve what type of equivalence relations we are dealing with in the type of court records under study. To determine the type of equivalence relations between Polish and Bulgarian legal terms, I used the concept of denotative equivalence distinguished by Wolter Koller. Recognizing the types of equivalence relations is the starting point for considering the difficulties and translation strategies that the translator must undertake.

WHEN POETS TRANSLATE POETRY (VESNA PARUN’S TRANSLATION OF PENJO PENEV’S POETRY)

Author(s): Ana Vasung / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2024

The paper examines Vesna Parun’s translation work from an intercultural perspective, highlighting her role as a true intercultural translator who belonged to and connected Bulgarian and Croatian cultural spaces and literatures. Parun’s success in translating Penjo Penev’s works is attributed to her deep immersion in Bulgarian language and culture, as well as her poetic aptitude and mastery of poetic traditions. Parun’s translation skills were bolstered by her interpretative abilities, enabling her to understand both the original text’s context and its new reception context. Her familiarity with the socio-political and cultural milieu of the time, as an active participant, further enhanced her translations. The paper asserts that Parun adeptly navigated the various intra- and extra-linguistic elements influencing literature and its translation, solidifying her legacy as a masterful translator of poetry.

THE POETRY OF VESNA PARUN AND BLAGA DIMITROVA BETWEEN IDEALISM AND DOUBT

Author(s): Marijana Bijelić / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2024

Since there are some important similarities as well as meaningful differences between the poetic oeuvres of the selected authors, the paper provides a comparative and a contrastive analysis of selected poems by Vesna Parun and Blaga Dimitrova. It focuses on a relationship between idealism with “absolutist” tendencies, insistence on perfection and on the ideal as a way of coping with negativity. Lyrical subjects in the poems are conceived as completely open to the unending work of desire. The lyrical subject in the poems by Parun is much more sensual, while Dimitrova’s one shows a strong tendency toward reflectiveness and abstraction. Their idealism is usually articulated through traditional symbols, such as birds, stars and the idealised topoi of childhood and nature, with love being their obsessive theme. Such a constellation is a basis for duality of the lyrical subject placed between the ecstatic projections and a tragic decomposition. Self-transcendence through love is the main ideal (that) the lyrical subject hopes to achieve, whereas its other side is the uncompromising tragic self-destruction the subject chooses so as to preserve the ideal from its loss and from the threatening meaninglessness.

A genre-based approach in esp classes to teaching clinical communication focusing on breaking bad news to patients

Author(s): Veronika Dvořáčková / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2024

Healthcare professionals have the responsibility to regularly convey difficult information such as unfavourable diagnoses, as well as adverse treatment outcomes. While this task can be uncomfortable, successfully carrying it out plays a crucial role in determining patient outcomes (Sweeney et al. 2011: 230). This necessity has led to the creation of evidence-based protocols such as SPIKES developed by Baile et al. (2000). The goal of the paper is to explore the suitability of the genre-based approach for the study and teaching of medical English, focusing on the integration of the selected clinical communication tool into the ESP classroom. As this study stems from the ESP practitioner’s experience and its outcomes will directly influence her future ESP classroom teaching, action research has been conducted. The feasibility of using an authentic clinical tool in an ESP lesson was assessed through a two-step methodology: i) devising an ESP task based on the SPIKES protocol, emphasizing linguistic elements, and ii) obtaining student feedback focusing on the perceived usefulness of the tool. Overall, the collected data indicate that students acknowledged the significance of effective clinical communication for successful therapeutic practice. However, given the fact that medical English is inconveniently scheduled in a pre-clinical phase of their curriculum, they also exhibited a certain level of hesitancy, unsurprisingly, when it came to readiness in handling serious communication scenarios.

Rozšírenosť synsémantík v rozličných oblastiach jazykovej stavby

Author(s): Ján Kačala / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 4/2024

In this paper we note the penetration of synsemantics intoother domains of language, especially the functioning of particle expressions in different sentence positions, the extension of particle expressions in the area of forming of multipartite linking expressions, in the range of different word-forming processes and in the field of phraseology. We follow these processes and their results on the extension of the negation particle not and the variants ne-, -ne- and ni-, and -ni in various forms of names and their groupings, and as a part of the numerous linguistic formations of the language at several levels of the language system. In this sense, we note the rich prevalence of the negation particle in various functions and areas of the structure of Slovak language. In this paper we shed light on the formation of these linguistic formations and we bring evidence of their function in various areas of linguistic practice by presenenting excerpts of texts from various styles of Slovak language.

Предпочитания към конкуриращи се темпорални форми в подчинени изречения в съвременния български език. Анализ на данни от анкетно допитване

Author(s): Krasimira Aleksova,Danka Apostolova,Yana Sivilova,Laska Laskova,Mihaela Moskova,Diana Androva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2024

This study presents and discusses the results of a non-representative survey conducted with 3166 Вulgarian native speakers, investigating respondents’ preferences for competing temporal forms of verbs in different types of subordinate clauses, when the context expresses temporal features that the verb in the subordinate clause should carry. The hypothesis tested includes the expectation that both when choosing from suggested competing verb forms in the subordinate clause and in independently creating forms, respondents would prefer a less marked verb form, replacing the marked one due to syntagmatic (contextual) neutralization of one or more temporal oppositions. However, when choosing from suggested competing forms, it is possible, though not predominantly, for some respondents to opt for a more marked verb form.

Опозицията свое – чуждо в говора на българите католици от Белене в лексикални примери

Author(s): Magdalena Abadzhieva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2024

The article examines two lexemes from the speech of the Bulgarian Catholics of Belene, originating from rites and dances of the Orthodox population in the city, by which are named unacceptable actions. The examples are interesting for how confessional difference manifests itself through language, transforming neutral vocabulary into emotional-expressive with a negative or disapproving tone. By means of the word бръзъùцъ, related to the observance „Brazaya“, a mocking and contemptuous attitude towards a woman with a funny, ugly or scary face is expressed. The second example under consideration, èръйшалдъ, derives from a dance characteristic of the Orthodox population of Belene, and is used in a negative sense for a person who expresses his joyous emotions unrestrained or who is rebellious and stubborn.

Fragmente des Severus von Antiochia und Gregor von Nyssa im Učitelʼnoe evangelie des Konstantin von Preslav im Kontext der Matthäus- und Lukas-Katenen

Author(s): Dobriela Kotova / Language(s): German Issue: 24/2024

The article draws attention to two long scholia by Severus of Antioch, Severus of Antioch, identified in Constantin Preslavski’s Didactic Gospel, which, however, did not refer to his name. The first one, a fragment from 77th Cathedral Homily of Severus, forms the second half of the exegetical part of Sermon 3. The other one, an excerpt from the 89th Cathedral Homily, which also contains two fragments by Gregory of Nyssa, constitutes a significant part of the Exegesis Section in Sermon 35. It appears in Sermon 35 as part of the Greek original, the catena on Luke CPG C130.1, which Constantine used when composing the sermons on the Gospel of Luke. The fragment in Sermon 3 is not part of the main Greek source of Constantine used to explain the passages from Matthew’s Gospel. It was borrowed from catena on Matthew C110.4, which was not used as a source anywhere else in the Didactic Gospel and was probably added later by an unknown author rather than Constantine himself. Nevertheless, the name of Severus, who was explicitly named as the author of the scholium in C110.4, was omitted in the Didactic Gospel, most likely because he was considered a heretical author in 10th century Bulgaria.

Emprunts slaves en roumain dans le domaine du vocabulaire des émotions

Author(s): Bilyana Mihaylova / Language(s): French Issue: 24/2024

The article tries to retrace the paths of the semantic development of some Slavic borrowings, which in the history of the Romanian language designate ‘fear’ at different degrees of this emotion: timidity, dread, fear or fright. Five word families have been examined: groază, a se (în)crâncena, scârbă, a se stidi, a se oțărî. As a result of the etymological analysis, various semantic changes have been established. The research on the semantic evolution of the Slavic loanwords in Romanian in the field of emotional vocabulary shows above all that these particular cases reveal the tendency of mixing emotions. The same tendency can be observed when we analyze the autochthonous words from different Indo-European languages.

Ангеличното в творчеството на Юлиуш Словацки

Author(s): Dimitrina Hamze / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2023

Romantic philosophy and aesthetics provide a fertile ground for the development of the angelic element, which became a part of the conceptual journeys of the creators of the era. Drawing upon stereotypical notions of angels, Juliusz Słowacki, the most „romantic” and mystical among the three Polish poet-prophets (alongside Adam Mickiewicz and Zygmunt Krasiński), offers his creative „interpretation” of this celestial being. The aim of this study is to stylize the symbolic spectrum of the angel and provide a concise overview of its evolution in the works of the Polish poet and epistolographer. To achieve this goal, comparative, semantic-analytical, and interpretative methods have been employed.

Родина в библейских переводах XVI в., созданных на территории Речи Посполитой и Великого княжества Литовского

Author(s): Alla Kozhinowa / Language(s): Russian Issue: 36/2024

W artykule dokonano analizy pojęcia ojczyzny w przekładach biblijnych z XVI wieku, powstałych na terenie Rzeczypospolitej i Wielkiego Księstwa Litewskiego na język polski – katolicka Biblia Leopolity (1561) i Jakuba Wujka (1599), protestancka Biblia Radziwiłłowska czyli Brzeska (1563), ariański przekład Szymona Budnego (Biblia Nieświeska, 1572) i cerkiewno-słowiański (Biblia Ostrogska, 1580–1581), a także w przekładzie hybrydowym Franciszka Skaryny (1517–1519). Twierdzi się, że pomimo różnic wyznaniowych i językowych tłumaczenia biblijne ujawniają dużą liczbę podobieństw. Podobieństwa te dają podstawy, by sądzić, że w XVI w. stanowił punkt zwrotny w rozwoju pojęcia ojczyzny, natomiast na jego kształtowanie się we współczesnym rozumieniu miały wpływ zarówno teksty Nowego, jak Starego Testamentu, lecz oddziaływały one w różny sposób.

Figury afektywne w polskiej piosence

Author(s): Leszek Tymiakin / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2024

In the article, rhetorical devices which help to express external emotions are described and supported with examples (exclamatio, evidentia, sermocinato and similar prosopopeia, expolitio and similitudo). In the song genre, apart from the main constitutional role, these devices perform two other interdependent tasks: the first one is related to the sender, the second one – to the recipient. In addition to their expressive and conative functions, the supporting role is assigned to the following functions: amplifying, motivational and aesthetic. It is important that the beauty and charm of short, vocally performed pieces are to a large extent dependent on not only on the music but also on the words used in them to successfully express and engender emotions.

Zhuangzi: Oblivion and Happiness

Author(s): Radosav Pušić / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2024

From the perspective of our time, it is difficult to guess what Zhuangzi wanted to tell us with the expression “zuo wang 坐忘”. Different angles of looking at the world give us pictures of different worlds. In the text “Zhuangzi: Oblivion and Happiness”, I will try to shed light on the various possibilities that the term “zuo wang 坐忘” offers us. In this light, the possibility opens up to understand to what extent it is the path to our happiness. At the same time, numerous philosophical questions arise: the relationship towards the body, self, dao, de, towards dream, reality, the cultivation of one’s being, wisdom, etc.

Справа заснування Іваном Огієнком журналу „Рідна Мова” (Варшава, 1932–1933 роки) (На матеріалах архіву Інституту національної пам’яті Польщі у Варшаві)

Author(s): Mykola Tymoshyk / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 11/2024

This article is based on documents from the recently discovered Warsaw-Kholm collection of Ivan Ohienko, kept in the archives of the Institute of National Remembrance of Poland in Warsaw. The subject of study and analysis were documents related to the founding in Warsaw in 1933 of the Native Language monthly magazine, dedicated to the study and promotion of the Ukrainian language. In total, these are 177 archival sheets, the content of which has not been known to the public until now. The analysis is carried out in several directions. First of all, the circumstances of the origin and implementation of the plan, which were unfavourable from the very beginning, have been clarified: the economic crisis in the Western world, the weak organization of Ukrainian emigration. Despite such circumstances, the persistence of the initiator prevailed: he managed to launch the publication of the magazine and to ensure its existence for eight years. The characteristics of the mail are given by geography (apart from enclaves with a compact residence of Ukrainians and the territory of Poland at the time, a significant number of letters were sent to various countries of Western Europe and America) and authorship (well-known Ukrainian scholars, religious figures, editors, educationalists, as well as high school students, editors of newspapers and magazines, owners of bookstores and printers, graphic artists, activists of Ukrainian public organizations...). Also the question of the various forms of promotion of the publication and filling the address book of subscribers shall be discussed. Among the most common forms were: publications of informative nature in the existing network of periodicals of the Ukrainian diaspora; creation of a group of distributors of advertising materials and signature checks through personal letters of the editor to colleagues, friends, and acquaintances. An overview of the main actions to support the magazine, which were held in the USA and Canada, is made.
