Ефектът на пола и възрастта върху темпа на четена българска реч

Author(s): Bistra Andreeva / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The present study investigates the effect of sex and age on the temporal characteristics of read Bulgarian speech, as well as the impact of different methods of measuring speaking rate. The analysed material is continuous read speech from the multilingual speech database BABEL. Three cognitively linked short passages containing 5thematically related sentences were read by 60 speakers (30 male and 30 female). The total length of the analysed material is 70.14 minutes. The results of the statistical analysis, carried out using linear mixed models (LMM),show that speaking rate decreases with age for both sexes, with men speaking faster than women. No significant differences were found in the proportion of pauses. The study provides reference data on speech rate, articulation rate, and pausation in read Bulgarian speech, thus establishing a foundation for future comparisons and analyses.

Лексикалното богатство на югозападните български говори в описания от третата четвърт на ХIХ век

Author(s): Maria Mitzkova / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

As an object of research, the lexical richness of the South-Western Bulgarian dialects attracts a considerable philological interest on behalf of such prominent figures as Yordan Hadzhikonstantinov-Dzhinot, Stefan Verkovich, Lyuben Karavelov, Vasil Cholakov who focus upon both public life and relation between the written and spoken form of the language characteristic of the third quarter of the 19th century. This richness is studied in a number of publications to be found in the periodicals from that period and presented in the form of integral components or small dialect dictionaries appended to the folklore collections. This interest is provoked by the archaic traits of these dialects preserving vivid traces of the old Bulgarian heritage, on the one hand, and, on the other, by the focus on the Bulgarian dialects characterizing the period of Bulgarian national revival in connection to the establishing of the standardized Bulgarian literary language in which, to a greater or lesser extent, the characteristic features of the Eastern Bulgarian dialects start to dominate in the new linguistic normativity.

Названия на тестени храни в бесарабските български говори

Author(s): Svitlana Georgieva / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The terminology of the culinary lexicon of the Bulgarians in the diaspora is an expression of the national specificity of the culture, and in this sense, its study is prospective within the emerging trends of European thinking from the beginning of the 21st century. The gathered lexical material is formed as a corpus of folk terms related to the culinary lexicon of the Bessarabian Bulgarians.

Български влияния в румънския език в семантичните полета ‘води’, ‘риби’ и 'риболов'

Author(s): Corinna Leschber / Language(s): Bulgarian,Romanian Publication Year: 0

Based on authentic materials from the Romanian Linguistic Atlas (ALR II s.n.), examples of Romanian words are selected from the semantic field of water, fishing, and fish names. We focus on words of Slavic origin,more specifically, words with a Bulgarian and an Old Bulgarian etymology. Besides their linguo-geographic distribution and their areal properties – such as a wide distribution or limited attestation in the form of a so-called relic island – we examine: What other synonyms with non-Slavic etymologies does the respective word have, and can certain patterns be identified? In addition, we look at the phonetic variability of words and typical word formation processes. Furthermore, we attempt to draw possible conclusions about the region’s historical development. In their unpublished talk of 2016, Dahmen, Popovici conclude that most of the fish names in these areas are of Slavic origin,which testifies to the intensive settlement of Slavs in the lowlands and on the banks of the Danube River, which is supported by archaeological findings. It also confirms the traditional local Bulgarian-Slavic subsistence strategy of fishing. The word roots of many fishing terms are traceable back to the times of the Proto-Slavic homeland, so again we can confirm that fishing was a typical subsistence strategy of native Slavs.

The category of evaluation and its representation in contemporary Ukrainian internet discourse

Author(s): Olena Voytseva,Daria Kryvenchenko / Language(s): Ukrainian Publication Year: 0

The paper provides an analysis of the evaluative potential of verbal and non-verbal means within the category of evaluation in contemporary Ukrainian internet discourse. These linguistic tools are employed to exert linguistic influence on the audience. Rational and emotional evaluation is integral to the lexical meaning of words,phrases, and sentences, reflecting a positive or negative attitude towards the respective subjects, facts, and events in the surrounding world. The implementation of evaluation at the lexical level is manifested in archaic lexical units with a touch of formality (безсмертя, героїзм), in expressively colored vocabulary (slang, colloquialisms, vulgarisms, abusive words) (запроданець, визискувач), and in neologisms. Maximum influence on the consciousness and behavior of the addressee is achieved through the metaphorical use of words, as secondary nominations impart imagery, expressiveness, emotional content, and originality to texts, attracting the attention of readers. The implication of the author’s subjective evaluation with the aim of shaping a particular attitude towards events and presented information is realized within the specific mass media context through the use of vocabulary which names precedent phenomena, and other linguistic means.

MEDIATING CULTURES: TRANSLATING ORWELL’S ENGLAND YOUR ENGLAND INTO ROMANIAN

Author(s): Mihaela Alina Ifrim / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Human experiences have always been shaped by language and culture; thus, when it comes to translations, it is difficult to understand and transfer/transmit experiences that take place within different systems of filters than our own reference system. Cultural translation, which encompasses a multitude of meanings (as it may be seen as questioning the traditional parameters of translation, as referring to practices of literary translation that mediate cultural differences or attempting to render an extensive cultural background or to simply represent, via translation, another culture) raises complex technical issues in terms of dialect, literary allusions and/or culturally specific items. Such is the case of Orwell’s essay England Your England. This paper sets forth to investigate the mediation of the cultural elements within the translation process of the text from English into Romanian.
