Die oben genannten Autoren und ihre Werkekönnten unserer Meinung nach für junge Forscher der deutschen Sprache und derdeutschen Literatur von Interesse sein.

This article highlights the major literary work reviews of Alexei Marinat, a Bessarabian Solzhenitsyn, who excels in the memoirs genre and the documentary prose. For over six decades, with small intermittent periods, the former political prisoner reflects on events and phenomena, records experiences in diaries that were published towards the end of his career. The diarist’s work is characterized, without exaggeration, by its commitment to honesty and literary glory, for which the author endured harsh years of detention.

Conducting action research appears to offer viable solutions to classroom problems English language educators might face. The aim of the article was to determine the benefits of doing action research from a personal perspective. The study is based on the evidence of action research conducted by me at Alecu Russo Balti State University. The results informed me in terms of what role to take on in the classroom as well as what course of action to embark upon in order to help learners develop their skills to become successful users of the English language and succeed in their courses. They also helped me understand why the set learning objectives were not reached.

Negative pragmatic transfer is often regarded as one of the causes of intercultural misunderstanding. The present study aims to investigate cases of negative pragmatic transfer in advice-giving. Thirty EFL students whose mother tongue was Romanian completed a Discourse Completion Test containing six situations which required advice-giving. The results showed that EFL learners tend to transfer the cultural norms of speaking from their mother tongue into English. Since this is highly likely to lead to breakdowns in communication, more attention should be paid to developing EFL learners’ pragmatic competence.

The article aims to identify the lexical peculiarities of the German language of fashion and to highlight a series of lexical features typical of the fashion lexicon encountered in the main German fashion magazines for women. Lexical and semantic word groups are selected from German advertisements, examining their word formation patterns, i.e., nouns and verbs. Apart from analysing the language of German fashion, the article also considers the key role of loan words and of Anglicisms in the process of enriching the German vocabulary.

Translation is an act of peace and exchange that aims to transcend linguistic and cultural boundaries. Indeed, translation is a trans-cultural practice that aims at the acceptance of the other and the encounters of languages and cultures. Several questions arise from this: What type of reflection on translation can be envisaged to break down linguistic and cultural boundaries? Should we think of translation as a purely linguistic act? Is it possible to accept the other from a linguistic and cultural point of view to conceive translation as a trans-cultural act? We will try to answer these questions by analyzing and by translating extracts into Italian from « Prière aux ancêtres » by the French-Congolese poet Gabriel Okoundji.

Translation is a space of sharing, knowledge, and recognition of otherness, a transmission of knowledge about the Other which is transmitted from a country to another one, from a person to another one, and from generation to generation. As a result, it has issues in different areas, but all have the same objective, which is to convey a message, a culture, another vision of the world from an author to a target audience. In other words, it is an asset because it allows anyone to recognize that there are other cultures than its own.

Avant même que Boèce n’ait découvert les vertus apaisantes de la philosophie (voir De consolatione philosophiae), Saint Jérôme, le fondateur absolu de la traduction moderne avait découvert ce qu’on pourrait nommer consolationes translationis, c’est-à-dire les « consolations de la traduction »

I will close with the analysis of an ironic injunctive statement, using the data of the pragmatic approach. This analysis will emphasize the particular characteristics of the way the ironic injunctive statement is functioning.

The present article advances an extended vision on the term cultural from the sociocultural perspective on translation, with a view to consolidating the concept of sociocultural element in strict connection with the concept of culture, understood as a set of signifying practices shared by the members of a community. After performing an overview of the concept sociocultural in linguistics and translation studies, our vision on the concept of sociocultural is illustrated by analyzing a set of personal documents, originally written in French, in terms of transfer (from French to Romanian), paying special attention to certain elements viewed as problematic.

Exista mai multe impedimente in învățarea unei limbi care ar putea fi clasificate in lingvistice si extralingvistice. Memorarea cuvintelor noi, in special, a idioamelor, verbelor complexe in limba engleza este deseori o provocare pentru studenți datorită multitudinii și varietății lor. În ciuda faptului că engleza este o limbă universală, studenților le este încă dificil să o înțeleagă și să o învețe. Eriksson (2007) consideră că motivul din spatele acestei dificultăți este acela că limba engleză este predată de multe ori în mod izolat de cultură și nu există un context cultural care să poată fi explicat în timpul învățării limbii. Pe de altă parte această idee este nu este susținută de toți și anume de cei care consideră ca engleza este o lingua franca și, prin urmare, nu este conectată la o cultură specifică.

Scopul articolului este de a arăta cum mediul clasei suferă o schimbareconstantă în momentul în care profesorii au curajul să combine instruireatradițională cu cea asistată de calculator. Instructorii care predau cursanților olimbă străină știu că orice suport lingvistic si tehnologic este util pentru castudenții să dobândească competentele necesare. Utilizate pe larg în articol,metodele propuse de Liaw și Kang au demonstrat că cursanții care învață limbaengleză au nevoie de o varietate de experiențe lingvistice. Mai mult, credem cătehnologia inovatoare, împreună cu cunoștințele informatice, pot juca un rolesențial în furnizarea studenților cu cunoștințe lingvistice necesare, accentul fiindpus pe modul în care TIC-urile pot fi un instrument suplimentar de predare a limbiiengleze.

If, in 1974, Nida was still able to write: ”What we do aim at, is a faithful reproduction of the bundles of componential features” (Nida 1974, 50) eleven years later he had been forced to change his mind: ”We are no longer limited to the idea that meaning is centered in words or even in grammatical distinctions” (Nida 1985, 119). There would be no getting around Reiß/Vermeer (1984) and their Grundlegung einer Translationstheorie (Fundamentals of a Translation Theory). With their publication, the ideas, which had already been brewing for some time in Traductologs’ minds, had taken shape in the most manifest of ways and could be considered as the « cultural turning point » in translation studies. The article gives a certain number of examples of practical repercussions in lay of this turning point and situates it in respect to traductological currents in history. It also proposes a definition of culture relevant for both the translator and the problem solving strategies deriving from it.
