Author(s): Ivan Derzhanski,Olena Siruk / Language(s): English Issue: VI/2016

In this study we examine the occurrences and correspondences of terms for affinal kinship in a Bulgarian–Ukrainian parallel corpus of fiction. All instances of the terms selected for study, matching and non-matching, were located and counted, and the frequencies compared. Some of the asymmetries found may have roots in culture and history whilst others reflect diverse features of language and the practice of literary translation.

Карактеристике српског гејмерског дискурса

Author(s): Milan Todorović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 14/2016

In this paper we studied the influence of the English language on the discourse of people in the area of video games. In the first part of the paper we introduced the lexicological and sociolinguistic terminology, which is necessary to understand and fully appreciate the characteristics of the gamer discourse. Additionally, we scrutinised the status of the English language as a lingua franca. We gathered the corpus by observing a group of gamers who communicate with each other over Facebook. Furthermore, we gave a survey to the aforementioned group. Results indicate an overwhelmingly positive attitude towards the use of the English language in combination with Serbian when the subject of video games is raised.

Jezikovne "težave" na Spodnjem Štajerskem v Taaffejevi dobi

Author(s): Filip Čuček / Language(s): Slovenian Issue: 2/2008

If Auersperg-Lasser's government with its pressures against the clerical staff contributed significantly to the fact that the Slovenian language was, (also) in Lower Styria, pushed to the very edge of public Ufe, the Taaffe period introduced a greater dynamics into the language issues. The government, stating that it would not exert pressure against public servants, ensured the "facilities" for a sudden "strengthening" of the language issue, which suddenly became the focus of public and politicai life. In his article the author analyses the language demands of the Lower Styria Slovenians, who attempted to gain as many concessions as possible from the ("sympathetic or unsympathetic") government after the "declaration" of Carniola as a Slovenian province. Due to the fact that Lower Styria had a different Position than Carniola, this was by no means an easy goal to achieve; instead, the Lower Styrian unification "leaders" had to invest all of their strength into just a couple of successes in the 15 years of Taaffe's rule.

MÉTAPHORES ET NÉOLOGIE : QUELQUES RÉFLEXIONS SUR LA FRANCISATION DES TERMES DE L’ÉCONOMIE ET DE LA FINANCE

Author(s): Micaela ROSSI / Language(s): French Issue: 1/2018

Our contribution aims at highlighting the main issues of metaphorical neology, as well as the semantic and discursive dynamics that occur in the use of technical terminologies stemming from a shared conceptual metaphor. Most notably, through the analysis of a terminological corpus, we will analyse the evolution of these conceptual metaphors and the underlying ideologies in the translation process from English to French in a highly metaphorical domain, such as financial language, in relation to the language policies of the DGLFLF.

К вопросу o некоторых тенденциях в развитии лексического запаса современного русского языка : (на примерe компьютерной лексики и лексики шоу-бизнеса)

Author(s): Andrzej Sitarski / Language(s): Russian Issue: IX/2004

In the Russian language beyond the year 1990 a particularly dynamic inflow of the English and American vocabulary has been observed. The biggest number of lexical borrowings is being taken note of in the sphere of economic and political vocabulary but also that of the computer lexis and so-called mass culture - in the sphere of show-business. In the present article the author analyzes the contemporary Russian computer vocabulary and the lexis of the Russian show-business paying special attention to complementing the above mentioned thematical groups with borrowings from English and also as an example of specific sociolects, characteristic features of which being their usability and expressivity in the professional activity of the group. From the analysis of the material it appears that English lexical borrowings relatively quickly adjust to the morphological wordbuilding systems of the Russian language, forming, quite often at that, already on its own ground, new word entities endowed with a diversified stylistic character.

National Perception of the Definition of the Grammatical Term through the Reception of the Ancient Tradition

Author(s): Svitlana Polyuha / Language(s): English Issue: 99/2019

The article analyzes the stages of formation and development of Ukrainian morphological terminology as influenced by the Greek-Roman antique tradition. The article emphasizes that the determinative influence of the ancient tradition on later European linguistics is largely due to the orientation of the tradition towards the realization of logical categories. This orientation in the language provide it with a potentially universal range. The generalization of the analyzed examples of grammatical terms in the modern Ukrainian language shows that when Ukrainian grammatical terminology was being created, the Greek-Latin grammatical terms were a kind of “prototype”. Theoretical generalizations will be used in further research on word formation.

Błędy tłumaczeniowe i redakcyjne w wytycznych szkoleniowych dla sędziów koszykarskich w konfrontacji angielsko-polskiej

Author(s): Michał Sobczak,Emilia Pankanin / Language(s): Polish Issue: XXI/2019

This paper examines the Polish translation of the Official Guidelines for Basketball Referees approved by the International Basketball Association (FIBA). It addresses the notion of specialist languages and indicates that the official guidelines for basketball referees possess some characteristics of a specialized text. Referring to translation competence, the article suggests that a non-professional translation of the guidelines can lead to their misinterpretation and, as a result, can influence the course of a game. The article concludes with implications for further theoretical and empirical research on the translation in question.

Антонимија придева просторних односа

Author(s): Marija S. Milosavljević / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 20/2019

This paper analyses the antonymy of spatial adjectives. The aim is to verify the extent to which the frequency of occurrence of certain associations is related with the meaning of adjectives and the degree of opposition among members of adjectival antonymic pairs. Adjective antonyms were analysed on the basis of the Associative Dictionary and verbal associations, which were obtained through a survey with associative tests. Based on the material from the dictionary, it was concluded that in adjectives that have regular antonyms, in most cases the antonym appears as the first association. However, the survey has shown that with adjectives that have an antonym, the antonym does not necessarily appear as the most frequent association.

Властите именице као лакуне на плану руског језика и проблем њиховог превођења на српски језик

Author(s): Violeta P. Džonić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 5/2012

Taking as a starting point the fact that the lacuna has occupied the attention of researchers not only from the basic lexical aspect, but also from that of word-formation, morpho-syntactic, phraseologico-paroemiologic and stylistic, as well as in terms of lexicographic and translational problems created in the contact of both related and non-related languages, the author claims that the issue of proper names manifested as a lacuna also demands a thorough linguistic analysis, which is at the core of this paper dealing with the lacuna within the range of Serbian and Russian language respectively. The cultural-historical background and socio-traditional specificity of the lacuna are viewed through the prism of proper nouns in contemporary Russian language (bearing in mind the problems of transposing them into contemporary Serbian language). The analysis is done on proper nouns and toponyms only, with other noun groups being discussed in general.

Author(s): Cihan Aydoğu,Bahtinur Gündoğdu,Meltem Ercanlar / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 1/2020

After a while, Turkish citizens started to be permanent, as they became to found their own families. However, some problems occurred, the most important ones were the integration in the country where they were and children’s education problems.

The main reason for this return migration are children returning with their family, returning for marriage, for education, for a better life style and escape. This qualitative research aims to describe the views of Turkish immigrant students, who were born in France and Belgium and returned to Turkey, towards Turkish language.

Polish Language in Jewish Daily Life: The Press and Popular Literature in the 1930s

Author(s): Eugenia Prokop-Janiec / Language(s): English Issue: 43/2019

This article discusses the spread of the Polish language among the Jewish population in the 1930s. Its source is the daily press, which was one of the most important institutions of interwar Jewish culture in the Polish language and one of the key institutions in which Polish served as a means of written communication in Jewish life. The press can be regarded as one of the principle sources indicating the main modern areas of Jewish communication in Polish and documenting the expansion of this communication from the public to the private sphere, from the exchange of opinions on social, political, and artistic problems to the discussion of everyday issues, family life, or even the most intimate subjects. The Polish-Jewish popular daily press created opportunities for speaking about everyday life through journalistic and literary genres dealing with topics related to family, marriage, sex, health, fashion, cooking, housekeeping, raising children, schools and universities, sport, entertainment, etiquette. The appearance of Polish-Jewish sensationalist newspapers at the beginning of the 1930s signaled the emergence of new audiences using the Polish language. The interwar vernacularization of the Polish language manifests itself in its growing instrumental value and change in its symbolic signification. The increasingly widespread use of Polish was accompanied by the weakening of its role as a symbol of integration with Polishness and Polish culture.

Od znaczenia do konceptu: pragmatyczno-kulturowe aspekty specyfikacji semantycznej

Author(s): Aleksander Kiklewicz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 07/2020

The author discusses theoretical issues of functional semantics, especially such directions of the contemporary anthropological linguistics as ethnosemantics and cognitive semantics. The diversification of the content of a lexical meaning under the influence of external, mainly pragmatic and cultural, factors is the primary object of interest here. Therefore, the author considers the degree of semantic specification of lexical units at various levels of interpersonal communication: both general and subcultural. As assumed by the contemporary cultural linguistics, a concept is considered to be a category of representation of knowledge encoded in language signs. The author gives arguments in favour of the view that the opposition of the (lexical, general) meaning and concept is gradual and concerns the scope of semantic information encoded in the sign in accordance with adaptive requirements.
