Dimitrie Cantemir, pionier al internaţionalizării terminologiei româneşti

Author(s): Vasile Bahnaru / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

Until Dimitrie Cantemir, Romanian terminology from different fields had been in an incipient state of establishment, having been influenced largely by terminology systems from old Slavic (with small exception, of course, shown mainly in the literary variant from Moldova, which had experienced a certain Latin interaction through the Polish language, while the Muntenia variant had been under the influence of Bulgarian and Serbian). As someone familiar with classical languages (Greek and Latin), Dimitrie Cantemir came to the conclusion that the main source for developing scientific terminology are Greek, Latin and Neo-Latin languages, with his works Istoria ieroglifică and Divanul being conclusive in this train of thought.

Terminologia în domeniul turismului. Istoric şi aplicativitate

Author(s): Mariana Vlas / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

Tourism used to represent mainly an opportunity to travel and have fun. Today it is defined as a socioeconomic phenomenon, and it has become one of the largest most profitable sectors of the economy, with a significant inventory of terminology. The speed with which it has spread and become international, together with an increasing development of the tourist industry, offers an instructive illustration of the linguistic evolution of the given domain, within which the general phenomena, such as word formation, the evolution of meanings, lexical borrowing, syntactic computation, the interference of registers, etc., are manifested.

Author(s): Attila Imre / Language(s): Hungarian Publication Year: 0

The “global village” of the 21st century is becoming more and more technical, so it is difficult to find the place and role of published material. The article focuses on the importance of term bases, including their value and quality in an age when almost everything is downloadable.

A Lexicographic Approach to the English-Romanian/Romanian-English Legal Dictionaries and Glossaries Existing on the Romanian Book Market

Author(s): Carmen D. Caraiman / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The goal of the study is to highlight the main methods used by the authors to create legal dictionaries and glossaries in English-Romanian and Romanian-English available on the book market today. Specialists and those interested in studying the content and structure of such dictionaries will notice the low number of works on the Romanian market compared to, for example, the field of economics. Furthermore, one may find the terms included to be insufficient, their structures simple. Our study shall analyze both the criteria the authors of the dictionaries used to select the terms, as well as their structure (phonetic transcription, contextualization, identifying countable/ uncountable nouns, denoting special plural forms, references to synonyms or another term from the dictionary to eliminate ambiguities, etc.).

Traduction et terminologie

Author(s): Eugenia Enache / Language(s): French Publication Year: 0

The goal of this article is to emphasize the reasons why translation and terminology are connected, as well as the close relationship between translator and terminologist, working together to achieve a good comprehension of a text and an efficient communication. Focused on translation, terminology aims to establish equivalences between various languages which can contribute to enhance the quality of the translation. For a translator, terminology helps translating contents from one language to another; a translator must have a good knowledge of terminology in order to achieve a good and reliable translation in various fields of human activity. The translator must also have a good knowledge of the structure of each language, of the way concepts are expressed. All this is a good indicator of the quality and of various abilities of a specialized translator.

Limbajul juridic şi traducerea

Author(s): Krisztina Sárosi-Márdirosz / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

A general characteristic of law is that this scientific domain is manifested through texts forming a whole. Hence the translator’s obligation to maintain the consistency of legal language in translations and/or in equivalence. In our research we propose to emphasize all the elements that help maintain a relative coherence of the domain (contracting parties, imprisonment, etc.), but also that of the special terminology: the use of expressions that function as codes which cannot be replaced with the elements of another semiotic system – as they are the segments of natural language; the correct use of phraseological expressions with a terminological value, the maintenance of the existing terminology – especially in legal and official texts, etc. We will not neglect the difficulties the translator faces in proper application of the specialized language (the poverty or even lack of terminological resources, the conventional nature of forms, the culture and the need to create).

A Practical Approach to Translating Modal Verbs

Author(s): Attila Imre / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The paper deals with a rather problematic issue, namely the translation of a few English modal verbs into non-Indo-European languages, such as Romanian or Hungarian. The research starts from a database containing more than 1,000 sentences with modal verbs in three languages, which is then fed into the translation memory and term base of the MemoQ translation environment.

Training as a Medical Translator

Author(s): Adrian Năznean / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

With the constantly growing number of medical articles, translators have to permanently keep up to date with the linguistic changes. Translators are thus faced with problems ranging from the lack of exact correspondents to borrowings. This article aims to focus on some of the particularities and difficulties that medical texts in the field of orthopaedics, histology and pathology can have and to analyse some of the strategies that can be successfully applied in translating such articles.

Carmen Sylva als Übersetzerin Im Rahamen Der Fin De Siècle Literatur

Author(s): Alina-Elena Chirilă / Language(s): German Publication Year: 0

As a German-born princess and the first Romanian queen, Carmen Sylva – as she was known under her literary pseudonym – is a cultural link between German culture and the still-maturing Romanian one. As such, Carmen Sylva’s literary work is of course extremely important and her work as a translator must, by all means, be mentioned. This work aims to analyze Carmen Sylva as a translator – of mostly Romanian folk poetry – and to correctly categorize her literary work, especially since she wrote in the stormy literary era at the turn of the century – also known as Fin de siècle or Decadence.

The aim of the present research is organizing and performing a comprehensive and comparative survey among different groups of students learning English as foreign language at different level and through different methods. Our objective is to monitor the effects of an alternative teaching method- in our case educational drama-, to observe its effect on students’ achievement, their self-knowledge, communication and emotional intelligence.

Egy nyelvjárássziget jellegének vizsgálata hangstatisztikai módszerrel

Author(s): Csaba Attila Both / Language(s): Hungarian Publication Year: 0

European plurilingualism is multifaceted, and it includes a wide range of language varieties as well. One such type of language variety is represented by dialects as the most basic, collective form of speech. The Hungarian language lists several dialectal varieties: the ones that differ from others not only linguistically but in the aspects of settlement and social history are the most interesting.In my paper, I discuss Hungarian-language enclaves using the method of sound statistics to see how it can be shown that a particular settlement or research point (in our case, Magyardécse from the Mezőség region) differs significantly from the language varieties spoken around it, and thus it can be considered an enclave.

NEKNJIŽEVNI TEKSTOVI U ČITANKAMA ZA RAZREDNU NASTAVU

Author(s): Sanja Soče,Lejla Ovčina / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

With their content and visual solutions, the textbooks for class teaching follow the goals and tasks of teaching language and literature, having always in mind the students' receptive possibilities.They contain literary texts which are selected according to aesthetic, national, acquisition, and pedagogical-psychological criteria. In teaching practice, non-literary texts are intended to inform and to overwhelm the contents of all school subjects and to clarify, explain and summarize professional and scientific contents. This research investigates the representation of non-literary texts in the textbooks for the third, fourth and fifth grade of primary school. Reading and understanding non-literary tests in the lower grades of primary school are an integral part of success for the further education and entire life.

Shakespearean Matriarchy in the 21st Century

Author(s): Shahab Yar Khan / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Women are the central force of his drama and especially in the works he composed after 1598, Shakespeare brings forth the female energy to occupy the center-stage. This device helped ‘Shakespearean women’ to set themselves free from the subjection to the male energy otherwise dominating the stage and outside the theater preached vehemently by the clergy. Theatrically dominating the center was psychologically equivalent to the reshaping of the female mind and feminine virtue. Consequently, what we see as readers or members of an audience in the personae of Rosalind or Cordelia for instance, is the model and the forecast of a matriarchal system.

Ukrajina u očima Gogolja i danas

Author(s): Sanela Ramović / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

The golden age of Russian literature was sealed by the unsurpassed writer of Ukrainian origin Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol, who presented the Ukrainian reality to readers through a vivid landscape of the landscape and everything that made up Ukraine at that time. At the same time, through individual works such as the short story Sorocin Fair (Сорочинская ярмарка) from the collection, the structure of which is followed by elements of the fantasy of Ukrainian folklore, Evenings in a village near Dikanjka (Вечера на хуторе близ Диканьки.), it shows the society inside Ukraine. The story Sorocin Fair was chosen precisely because, like all the others in this collection, it is accompanied by motifs from Ukrainian folklore in which the line of culture and customs of the cheerful and festive Ukrainian people can be traced. The goal, through one’s own perspective, is to explain whether today’s Ukraine is the way Gogol presented it, to make some kind of comparison with former and present Ukraine, and to show what reality is like today compared to Gogol’s time.

Posthuman World without Metrical Species (Poetic Arts)

Author(s): Amina Yar Khan / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Poetry, though, has become segmented in variety. Even the larger book shops sell only acknowledged classics, academic anthologies and a few books by today’s most famous poets. A young rising poet regardless of abilities and talent would find difficult if not impossible to vend the path in the gyre of our communities. Not to mention the amount of discouragement one might get in the high circles; forlorn and plightful state.
