ЛІНГВАЛЬНА ПРИРОДА ДІАЛЕКТНОГО ДИСКУРСУ ПРО ЇЖУ, ЯКУ ГОТУЮТЬ ПІД ЧАС ВЕЛИКОГО ПОСТУ

Author(s): Natalia Rusnak,Yulia Rusnak / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 3/2017

Discourse is one of the most commonly used terms in modern philology. Currently, discourse is considered as a set of thematically correlated texts: texts, which are united in a discourse, texts pointing to one common theme. The content of the discourse is not revealed through one single text, but intertextually, through a complex interaction of many individual texts. In the frame of this definition of discourse, all the dialectal texts(DT) of Bukovinian dialects may be qualified as ritualistic dialectal discourse, narrower – the dialectal discourse about ‘food that is prepared during Lent’. Each DT brings to the general panorama of calendar of rites some unique trait, calling through the "voice" of some particular dialect, contributing to the "polyphony" of Bukovinian dialects. Lexemes food that is prepared during the Lent’ in the Easter discourse are presented by such linguistic patterns as: fa'sul'i z ci'bul 'koju ta ol'ijkoju, g'ribki su'šeni, kulesha, šušinic'i, gruš'ki, jebluka, mama'lička, časni'čok, s'i'maine:e molo'ko, 'zapraška, piro'gi, etc. Lexeme ‘Paska’ (Easter) in the dialectal discourse is functioning with three meanings: 1. The name of a religious holiday, although in Bukovnia villages more often the word ‘Vi'likǵden’ is used. 2. the ceremonial bread. 3. festive basket (figurative meaning arose on the basis of synecdoche: part becomes whole).The discourse on the Easter of the Bukovinian dialects reflects, first of all, the spiritual culture of the Ukrainian nation, which belongs to the calendar spring ritual. Analysis of language units of dialect discourse of ‘food that is prepared during the Lent’, showed a large number of descriptive names. The category of food in DT function in diminutive form. Analysis of the related factors exposed the sphere of language units functioning in the discourse, testified to the role of dialect bearer in reconstruction of reference situation, showed the two ways of presentation of identical information – expressive and rational.

Ukrainian Obstruent + Sonorant and Sonorant + Obstruent Consonant Clusters in Online Adaptation by Native Speakers of English

Author(s): Kateryna Laidler / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2017

In the process of loanword adaptation words often undergo various changes in order to comply with the phonological system of the borrowing language. At the phonotactic level the most commonly applied modifications of alien consonant clusters include vowel insertion, consonant deletion and cluster modification. The present paper examines online adaptation of Ukrainian word-initial twoconsonant sequences of radically different segmental makeup and sonority relations, namely, obstruent + sonorant (e.g. /zm/, /vn/) and sonorant + obstruent (e.g. /rt/, /mʒ/), which are illicit in English, in order to establish the major phonological patterns of anglicization and account for them in the light of Optimality Theory.

ОБСТОЯТЕЛЬСТВА ВРЕМЕНИ В АНГЛИЙСКОМ И ИСПАНСКОМ ВЫСКАЗЫВАНИИ: ПОЗИЦИЯ И ФОНЕТИЧЕСКАЯ ВЫДЕЛЕННОСТЬ

Author(s): Elena Nickolaevna Makarova / Language(s): Russian Issue: 1 (178)/2019

The article deals with the problem of syntactic and intonation characteristics of adverbial modifiers of time in English and Spanish.Different types of word order in these two languages account for peculiar features of their position and phonetic prominence.Ways of adverbial modifiers’ marking on the basis of their communicative significance in English and Spanish are described.Production and perception experimental methods involving native English and Spanish speakers are proposed. The methods include analyzing both native English speech and English speech of Spanish speakers. Results of comparative research of the English examples and their Spanish translations in different contexts are presented; analyses of incorrect variants revealed onthe basis of the perception experiment in the reading of Spanish speakers is given. Dependence of adverbial modifiers’ position in Spanish sentences on their informative significance is demonstrated. The results prove that Spanish speakers’ difficulties withintoning English sentences are caused by the interfering influence of their native language. The importance of the study resultsfor improving English and Spanish teaching methodology, as well as their applicability in courses on comparative and contrastivelinguistics are set out.

THE EFFECTS OF CULTURE ON VOICE LIKABILTY

Author(s): Hille Pajupuu,Rene Altrov,Jaan Pajupuu / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2019

This study investigated the effects of culture on voice likability assessments. A total of 32 Finns and 32 Estonians rated the likability of 40 Finnish and 40 Estonian female and male voices. The voices represented two phonogenres: poetry and interview. The results showed that Finns and Estonians liked the same voices, but the listeners preferred Finnish voices reading poetry to Estonians, and Estonian voices in interviews to Finnish. The gender and age of the speaker only had a low impact on likability ratings. An analysis of acoustic correlates of voice likability was also conducted, which showed that likable and unlikable voices were differentiated by a set of frequency, energy and spectral parameters, but not tempo parameters.

Сегментные правила в автоматическом парсере Корпуса хакасского языка

Author(s): Philip S. Krylov,Vera S. Maltseva,Aleksandra V. Sheimovich,Anna Vladimirovna Dybo / Language(s): Russian Issue: 01 (32)/2019

The article describes a fragment of the work process of an automatic parser for Literary Khakass. It analyzes data using “synthesis”, i. e., through multiPLe straight and reverse passes that check various hypotheses. The article describes the transformation of a morphophonological transcription of a word-form into an orthographic one. Literary Khakass is not very normative as a language, and existing grammars do not reflect every feature of its morphophonology well enough. Thus, for some stages of the process we use rules derived from our analysis of the corpus data and of the dialectal materials we have collected.

Vplyv jazykových predpokladov na úspešnosť učenia sa cudzieho jazyka

Author(s): Michal Tatarko / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 3/2019

The paper deals with language aptitude and its effect on the foreign language learning. The main aim is to explore the language aptitude and identify its role in foreign language learning from theoretical and empirical point of view. Based on the theoretical analysis, we identified a variable that can serve as a potential predictor of success in the foreign language learning. Data, which we collected at selected grammar schools in Prešov district, were statistically analyzed – we examined the correlation between the linguistic component of language aptitude (independent variable) and language learning success (dependent variable). The data were collected by means of testing and scaling. The result confirmed the assumed hypothesis that the language aptitude is a relevant predictor of success in foreign language learning. This result is in comparison to other studies very similar.

Impoverishment of phonetic inventory or changes in phonetic inventory of the Italian–speaking population in Western Slavonia

Author(s): Vesna Deželjin / Language(s): English Issue: 87/2019

This paper focuses on sibilant and interdentally fricative phones perceptible among reliable as well as all other types of speakers of the Italian Vernacular of Western Slavonia (IVWS). The production of fricatives in IVWS should be observed in relation to their presence in similar Italian dialectal vernaculars, namely in northern Veneto dialects, particularly in the archaic Belluno vernacular, and in western Friuli patois. The first research hypothesis is the proposition that a lack of correspondence in the pronunciation of certain phones can be treated as an expected phenomenon, due to the changes that the speech community has undergone. The second hypothesis is that the absence of some phones will be perceptible and consistent mostly among unreliable speakers and semi–speakers. The results show that the targeted phones exist in the pronunciation of mainly those speakers who have not been in contact with modern Italian variants; at the same time, the same phones are often substituted with near phones that exist in either modern Italian vernaculars or in the majority Croatian language.

Influence of Italian orthography on pronunciation of phonemes in Regional Italian

Author(s): Irena Marković / Language(s): English Issue: 87/2019

There is evidence today that, depending on different regions, Italians pronounce certain phonemes in different way. For example, the grapheme in zio ‘uncle’ and zitto ‘quiet’ in Northern Italy is always pronounced as [dz], while in the South we hear [ts]. The situation is very similar with the grapheme , which has two different outcomes, [s] and [z], depending on diatopic variable and distributional context (Berruto; Benincà ; Sobrero; Telmon; Canepari). These particular types of pronunciation and articulation can be explained by several factors: dialectal influence on Regional Italian, incoherence of the orthographic system for certain phonemes (with some of the phonemic distinctions being graphemically undistinguished) (Maraschio; Cignetti and Demartini), phonemic (non)functionality and problematic phonemes in Italian language (Muljačić). In this paper we will try to examine the significance of each of these factors that have influenced the variation in pronunciation of Regional Italian as well as the usage of the problematic phonemes in Italian language in the future. On one hand, this paper will compare studies on different articulation and perception of Italian phonemes depending on regional variability (Regional Italian), especially for the problematic phonemes in Italian language. On the other hand, we will analyse the possible influence that the incoherent orthographic system has on the loss of distinctive functions in pronouncing those phonemes (today and in the past). In this way we will try to understand what is going to happen in the future with the (non)articulation/perception of certain phonemes of Standard Italian and how this will affect the phonemic system of Italian language.

Passive constructions in Lithuanian and Latvian

Author(s): Kristine Levane-Petrova / Language(s): English Issue: 9/2018

The aim of this article is to analyze passive constructions in Latvian and Lithuanian. The correspondences of the Lithuanian past passive and present passive participles as the predicates (that together with the auxiliary constitute the passive forms in Lithuanian) in Latvian were analyzed in the Lithuanian-Latvian-Lithuanian parallel corpus (LiLa). This research is limited to the analysis of the correspondences of Lithuanian passive constructions in the passive voice in Latvian. The analyzed data show that the compound tense forms of the passive in Latvian are the first correspondence of the Lithuanian passive constructions with the past passive participle as a predicate. These constructions are in the passive voice in both languages, and both have resultative meaning (stative passive). The simple tense forms of the passive in Latvian are the second correspondence of the Lithuanian passive constructions with the present passive participle as a predicate. These constructions are also in the passive voice in both languages, and both have process meaning (dynamic passive). This study proved that the passive voice constructions are more often used in Lithuanian in comparison with Latvian, as many correspondences of Lithuanian passive voice constructions were identified in the active voice in Latvian.
