КОНЦЕПТ БИЗНЕС В ЯЗЫКОВОЙ ИНТЕРПРЕТАЦИИ НОСИТЕЛЕЙ РУССКОГО ЯЗЫКА XX – XXI ВЕКА

Author(s): Anna Mitjaewa / Language(s): Russian Issue: 1/2016

The article is devoted to verbalization of business concept in language awareness of Russian native speakers of younger and elderly generations. The research method is chain associative experiment. The article provides theoretical relevance and reasons to use associative experiments. The reviewed language material is a result of the associative experiment. The construction and interpretation of the associative layer of business concept was made; it was verbalized by the linguistic means of the Russian language. The analysis of the associative layer resulted in the model of associative field for business concept, expressed with stable positive, neutral and negative associations for the word-stimulus.

Ацэначныя дзеясловы як моўнае адлюстраванне агульнапрынятых уяўленняў аб паняццях “норма” – “не-норма”

Традыцыйныя формы звароту да субяседніка ў беларускай мове

Author(s): Iryna Kaptsiuh / Language(s): Belarusian Issue: 04/2014

The article examines the traditional forms of addressing an interlocutor in the Belarusian language. It focuses on the use of anthroponyms when addressing someone, the use of phrases with suffixes of subjective evaluation and the use of vocative and clipped noun forms functioning when addressing an interlocutor. The conclusion put forward is that there is a national specificity in the use of this form of addressing an interlocutor in the Belarusian language.

Pisownia a wymowa polska w perspektywie historycznej

Author(s): Bogusław Dunaj,Mirosława Mycawka / Language(s): Polish Issue: 5/2015

The aim of the article is to define the mutual influence between spelling and pronunciation in the historical development of Polish. At the initial stages of the development of Polish writing (until the middle of the 16th century), spelling was gradually adapted to reflect pronunciation. In later periods, the stabilization of the spelling system resulted in growing differences between pronunciation and spelling. On occasion, the stable spelling system restrained phonetic processes.

ON ENGLISH IT FIELD BORROWINGS IN MODERN RUSSIAN

Author(s): Aušra Janulienė,Justina Andriulaitytė / Language(s): English Issue: 8/2016

Language is a reflection of society, which is developing with alterations in political, economic, and social spheres. As a result, some words lose their importance and fade into obscurity, whereas others come into existence. Despite the fact that the occurrence of borrowings is a global phenomenon, some spheres are more prone to accept foreign words, the dynamic IT field among them. As the USA have been leaders in the technical sphere for many years, the majority of the words describing IT concepts are of the American origin. Having entered the receiving language, some loan words may alter the meaning in order to avoid lexical competition and survive. To establish whether any semantic changes occurred, borrowings and their native counterparts have to be analyzed according to dictionary definitions as well as their contexts. Thus the aim of the present research was to analyze the issues of synonymy as well as the usage and meaning differences of English borrowings (nouns) of the IT field in the Russian language and their native counterparts. In order to perform the analysis, quantitative as well as qualitative research methods were applied. The quantitative method, particularly a corpus-based research, was employed while checking frequency and collecting the most frequent collocates of the loan words. The analysis of raw frequencies in the Russian National Corpus revealed that 21 loan words are widespread, whereas 25 of them are occasional. The majority of the loan words were found to be semantically narrowed. The analysis revealed that not a single one is in lexical competition with native Russian lexemes, since all of them are results of lexical addition rather than replacement.

Književnost rusinskog jezika u kontekstu jugoslovenskih književnosti

Author(s): Julijan Tamaš / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 249/1979

Migracionim procesom koji je počeo polovinom XVIII a završio sredinom XIX veka, došli su Rusini, njih preko dvadeset hiljada, iz istočne Slovačke, Zakarpatske Ukrajine i Galicije, na teritoriju današnje Vojvodine. Zadržali su se usput u Zemplinskoj županiji i oblasti Makova, u gornjoj Mađarskoj. Doneli su sobom šarišsko-zemplinski dijalekt, govor koji je u osnovi današnjeg standardnog književnog jezika Rusina u Jugoslaviji i bogatu usmenu književnost, čiji su osnovni oblici lirska pesma, balada i pripovetka (proučavali M. Jacenko, O. Zilinski i M. Mušinka). Usmena književnost Rusina u Jugoslaviji u mlađim slojevima uspostavlja veze s tradicijom usmene knji- ževnosti srpskog i mađarskog jezika, ali njen osnovni, izvorni kontekst su usmene književnosti karpatskog areala: ukrajinskog, slovačkog i poljskog jezika.

Narratiiviloome nõrkus vene düslektikutel:

Author(s): Aleksandr N. Kornev,Ingrida Balčiūnienė / Language(s): English Issue: 11/2015

The study deals with the impact of non-linguistic factors on narrative production in Russian-speaking dyslexic children. The experimental group consisted of 12 children (age 9–10) with dyslexia and the control group comprised 12 peers without any developmental disorders. The sample was counterbalanced from the perspective of narrative mode, story complexity, and task order. One of the classic methodologies for narrative analysis, i.e. story grammar, was extended in our study by a novel dynamic approach, enabling us to evaluate procedural features of narrative production. The results of our study highlight limitations in dyslexic narrative language underlined by two different causes. The first one can be defined as inefficiency in developing logical (temporal/causal) relationships between events; the other is difficulties in structuring an episode description. The high flexibility and dynamic changes in the episode structure in dyslexics anticipated the evidence that limitations in dyslexic narrative language are related to the deficit in procedural functions rather than to the primary language limitations; however, linguistic shortcomings in dyslexic narrative production still remain. Our experience with the dynamic approach to narrative assessment lends support to its value as a research tool. The novel dynamic approach to episode completeness analysis proved to be an effective and informative method that might highlight new mechanisms of narration and thus extend the classic narrative analysis by the addition of qualitative information.

Using micro-contexts to describe a writing process in Estonian as a second language across proficiency levels

Author(s): Olga Pastuhhova / Language(s): English Issue: 11/2015

This paper aims to describe the writing process of native Russian-speaking students in Estonian as a second language. 34 participants were given the assignment of writing a text in the L2. The written texts were then rated as being at levels from A2 to C1 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The data were collected by computer keystroke logging and analysed based on the concept of a ‘micro-context’. Micro-contexts were analysed according to their frequency and duration and were compared across proficiency levels. The results show that writing in the L2 is not a smooth process. The longest transitions in micro-contexts reveal that the most cognitive effort is made between paragraphs and sentences and when deletions are involved. The growing number of consecutive deletions demonstrates that even with developing proficiency, the linear production text is subject to constant revision, correction and modification.

The splendour and misery of "Intercultural Communication" teaching modules

Author(s): Dmitry Yermolovich,Pavel Palazhchenko / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2016

The paper examines in a critical light the approaches and theoretical grounds of certain educational projects seeking to promote "intercultural competence" in translators, both in Russia, the contributors’ home country, and in Western Europe, as exemplified by a European Union project. Some textbooks as well as teaching material and recommendations are placed under scrutiny for consistency, relevance and value to the training of professional translators/interpreters, especially at postgraduate level. It is shown that some guidelines presented as an improvement on current translation teaching practices repeat or repackage ideas developed decades ago by Russian and Bulgarian translatologists. The paper argues that there is no special need for artificially implanting or isolating an "intercultural communication" module in translation teaching, as translation is itself a primary form of international and, therefore, intercultural communication, and the best practices of its teaching, at least in the leading translator/interpreter schools of Russia, have incorporated the cultural component in harmony with other essential translation competences for at least half a century.

Limited common ground, unlimited communicative success.

Author(s): Daria Bahtina-Jantsikene,Ad Backus / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2016

Previous research on Estonian-Russian interaction suggests that lingua receptiva (LaRa), or Receptive Multilingualism, has the potential to create, boost or restore common ground, or mutual understanding, in situations where common ground is jeopardized. This mode is characterized by the simultaneous use of multiple languages as interlocutors each speak their mother tongue and count on the receptive skills of the other. Alignment in the LaRa mode was tested in a series of experiments. Th e use of various meta-communicative strategies provided insight into the mechanisms behind LaRa. Their distribution was influenced somewhat by L2 proficiency and exposure to multilingual communicative situations. Interestingly, higher L2 knowledge was not a prerequisite for success. Moreover, it was the composition of the dyad rather than the characteristics of the individuals that had predictive power regarding communicative success.

Oficjalne ukraińskie i polskie nazwy grzybów jadalnych – klasyfikacja znaczeniowa

Author(s): Przemysław Jóźwikiewicz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 7/2016

Nor Polish neither Ukrainian linguists have dealt with the comparison of biological vocabulary related to the study of mushrooms – mycology yet. The present article is an attempt at starting such studies and it focuses on the collection of selected names of edible mushrooms functioning in the Ukrainian and Polish languages with their semantic properties being the starting point. What is an essential element of the paper is the table comprising 79 names of edible mushrooms (in Latin, Ukrainian and Polish) as well as a preliminary classification of myconyms. The number of the categories is significantly high and they include the colour features of mushrooms, the place of their existence, their taste, similarity to objects, co-existence with other plants, the properties of their look etc.

ON THE DICTIONARY OF SEMANTIC EQUIVALENTS IN POLISH, BULGARIAN AND RUSSIAN

Author(s): Wojciech Paweł Sosnowski,Violetta Koseska-Toszewa,Anna Kisiel / Language(s): English Issue: 16/2016

Leksykon odpowiedniosci semantycznych w jezyku polskim, bułgarskim i rosyjskim [The Dictionary of Semantic Equivalents in Polish, Bulgarian and Russian] is the first Polish dictionary which compares semantic equivalents in the largest languages of each Slavic subgroup: The West Slavic group (Polish), the South Slavic group (Bulgarian) and the East Slavic group (Russian). The content of the dictionary reflects the social processes, changes and trends which have taken place over recent years. The dictionary consists of 5 volumes, with approximately 5 000 entries for each language. What sets it apart from other dictionaries is that it ventures beyond the standard vocabulary one might expect from a dictionary of this sort. Leksykon... also contains neologisms as well as realogisms — words which do not often have perfect equivalents in other languages because they are so deeply embedded in a nation’s culture. Each entry in the dictionary offers state-of-the-art semantic and syntactic categorisers, developed by Polish experts in Slavic semantics and aspectology. We consider the dictionary to be an innovation in lexicography, because its open structure enables more languages to be added in the future, including non-Slavic languages. Developed with the use of the most recent methodologies available, the dictionary will constitute a sound basis for lexicographic research in the future, in particular for the development of multilingual electronic dictionaries. In the 21st century, we face two great challenges: to make academic research more interdisciplinary and to build an integrated multinational European community. We hope that our dictionary will help address these challenges by promoting multilingualism and facilitating intercultural communication. The primary language of the dictionary is Polish — the largest Slavic language in the European Union. During the Polish presidency of the EU, a conference entitled Multilingual Competences for Professional and Social Success in Europe was held. It concluded with the following declaration: “Multilingualism is not only part of European heritage, but also a chance to develop a society which is open, respectful of cultural diversity and ready for cooperation”. However, the chief obstacles that prevents the EU from attaining the full integration of its economies and societies are language barriers. This dictionary will help overcome these barriers by promoting Slavic languages. The target audience of the dictionary are speakers of Polish, both in Poland and all around the world: experts in Slavic languages, scholars, lexicographers, encyclopaedia writers, students, etc.

Author(s): Margarita Ivanovna Chernysheva,Elena I. Derzhavina / Language(s): Russian Issue: 1-2/2022

The paper presents the first part of the review highlighting the results of the compilation of The Electronic Historical Dictionary of Loanwords in the Russian Language of the 11th–17th Centuries: Greek and Polish Loanwords, the first electronic dictionary of borrowings in Russian historical lexicography containing about eight thousand lexemes. Grecisms and Polonisms represent completely different layers of vocabulary due to their genetic, chronological, and functional indicators. Each layer requires an independent description and the use of an individual research methodology. They are presented in two separate essays.
