Uloga modalnih glagola u kritičkoj stilistici

Author(s): Marina Katnić-Bakaršić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 1/2020

This paper investigates modality as one of the important issues in critical stylistics. The focus of the investigation is on modals, considering that their use can have hidden ideological meanings. The analysis and interpretation of examples from political, media, and literary discourse show how the choice of a modal verb can become a means of persuasion, but also of manipulation, or a means that enables speakers to represent their role as more or less significant than it is. The speaker’s individual style can also influence the use of modals. In literary discourse, namely in poetry, the choice of a modal can become a stylistically relevant device.

Napjaink -(v)z képzővel keletkezett sajtónyelvi neologizmusainak szemantikájáról és stilisztikájáról

Author(s): Réka Sólyom / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 1/2018

The paper analyses the semantics of some Hungarian verbal neologisms formed by -(V)z verbal suffix. Besides the analysis of the context in which the verbs occur, the paper examines the grammatical structure and the stylistic impact of these neologisms that principally occur in internet language. Typical groups are distinguished based on the meaning of the analysed verbs. During the analysis,real sentences from internet language are cited and thus with the help of citations and semantic grouping, typical processes of meaning construal (with the help of which language users can compress phenomena of present-day events into linguistic expressions) can be sketched.

Slang in animated cartoons: Translation peculiarities

Author(s): Kateryna Bondarenko / Language(s): English Issue: 5/2019

The research focuses on analysing the function of slang in modern cartoons (Madagascar 2, Kung Fu Panda, Shrek, Open Season, Cars) as well as translation strategies used to convey accurate meaning. Our data from film scripts (163 examples containing slang terms) has proved that slang, as an important part of cartoons’ verbal component, should be and mainly retained in translation. Excerpts from original cartoons scripts show slang use, that may function both for the protagonists’ characterisation and for the mapping of humor (carnivalesque) world picture. Componential analysis of meaning – breaking down the sense of slang terms into their minimal distinctive features – was used to determine the meaning of lexemes and reconstruct semantic domains actively verbalised by slang. The assumption has been made that due to the universality of domains slang can be potentially translated in most cases. Componential analysis is particularly applicable to semantically related lexemes (in one language or comparable ones). A thorough analysis of slang translation showed the employment of the following strategies: stylistic compensation (50.3%), literal translation (44.7%), omission (4.9%) and cultural equivalence (0.1%). As seen, a substantial proportion of the slang words can be translated from English into Ukrainian without significant loss of meaning. The neutralisation of slang appears to be inevitable in some cases.

Looking for Perfect Equivalence: Chosen Key-Words in the Series of Polish Translations of Lord Jim

Author(s): Andrzej Czaplak / Language(s): English Issue: 7/2019

The paper is to compare the strategies of translators used to express Conrad’s key concepts in Lord Jim and it aims to assess whether retranslations of the novel into Polish, spanning over a century, have provided the Polish reader with an equal opportunity of being exposed to the stylistic consistency of Conrad’s usage of chosen key-words, and to notice their importance while interpreting the meaning of the novel. The translations examined include the first translations of Lord Jim from the beginning of the 20th century (by Emilia Węsławska and Anna Zagórska) and the latest ones from the beginning of the 21st century (by Michał Kłobukowski and Michał Filipczuk).

Фразеологічні інновації української мови в медіалінгвістичному висвітленні

Author(s): Dmytro Syzonov / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 2/2018

This paper focuses on interpretations of the term phraseological innovations or new phraseology. According to international stylistics, the latter are considered fixed linguistic units of idiomatic nature. The author presents the main conceptions of research targeting new phraseological units, and reviews the main sources of origin of new phraseological constructs, particularly those which are related to mass media. Conditions of functioning of new media phraseological units as sociopolitical, ethnographic, cultural, and educational markers are also considered. New phraseological constructs are analyzed in the scope of functional, stylistic, cognitive, and psycholinguistic aspects, which proves the topicality of this field of linguistic research. Particular focus is made on extralingual and intralingual factors causing creation of new phraseological units. Conditions stimulating wider use of phraseology in the mass media and its influence on Ukrainian language evolution are investigated in the paper.

Informar y contar comunicación y narración en la escritura periodística de Jorge Carrión

Author(s): Valeria Cavazzino / Language(s): Spanish Issue: 1/2020

In recent years, due to the rise of cultural productions through different media, an increase in the number of journalistic publications of hybrid texts has been observed, which results from the fusion of the narrative and informative functions. The spaces traditionally devoted to different types of journalistic texts which – apart from those merely informative, may include cultural-related and opinion articles – make possible the appearance of articles which distinguish themselves trough entailing both characteristics. Therefore, this paper analyses two articles written by J. Carrion and published in the Spanish edition of The New York Times in 2018. The articles will be scrutinised in relation to the narrative and essayistic works of the author. We illustrate some characteristics of what is generally referred to as narrative journalism, as defined by Herrscher (2012) and Casals Carro (2005), among others. This will allow us to trace a profile of the author, journalist and writer which is linked to the social environment and of his work.

ПОРІВНЯЛЬНА ХАРАКТЕРИСТИКА СИНТАКСИЧНОЇ СПОЛУЧУВАНОСТІ ПРИКМЕТНИКІВ З ІМЕННИКАМИ В ХУДОЖНЬОМУ, ПУБЛІЦИСТИЧНОМУ ТА НАУКОВОМУ СТИЛЯХ СУЧАСНОЇ АНГЛІЙСЬКОЇ МОВИ

Author(s): Oksana Danylovych / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 1/2020

The article is dedicated to the study of combinability of adjectives with lexical-semantic groups (LSG) of nouns in the belle-lettres, publicistic and scientific styles. The object of the investigation is syntactical combinability of adjectives with nouns, the subject is statistically meaningful ties on the syntactical level. The goal is a comparative characteristic of syntactical combinability of adjectives with nouns in the belle-lettres, publicistic and scientific styles of the modern English language. Topicality is caused by the necessity of comparison of syntactical combinability in three styles. In our study the statistical method was used such as χ² - which shows presence or absence of a tie. In such a way standard elements of contextual sets of adjectives with lexical-semantic groups (LSG) of nouns were found. The coefficient K indicates the force (intensity) of ties. Due to it the ties are divided into strong, mean and weak ones. Statistically meaningful ties of adjectives with LSG of nouns were analyzed. A scientific novelty is in finding standard ties for adjectives that gave a possibility to determine peculiarities of functioning of adjectives in each style. Conclusions. The belle-lettres style is distinguished by a number of statistically meaningful ties as well as ties which are characteristic to only the belle-lettres style. The scientific style is between the belle-lettres and publicistic styles. A number of the same statistically meaningful ties was found more between the belle-lettres and publicistic styles (9) in comparison with the scientific and belle-lettres ones (5) and the publicistic and scientific ones (2).

ЗАШТИЋЕНИ ГОВОР КАО НОВИ ГОВОРНИ ЖАНР

Author(s): Slobodan Aničić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 68/2019

The aim of this paper is to present the way in which the positive law forms the author’s speech and points to the possibility of the untypical creation of a new speech genre or subgenre. The research of interaction between normative and speech is limited herein to the analysis of the Courts interpretations of permissible speech. This method defines qualifying elements of authorial speech, which include content, the terminology used, and the context in which the statements were made. The specific feature of the permissible speech is threefold. Namely, in addition to (1) the building elements that amount protected speech which are distinctive as compared to that of other genres and subgenres, the specificity of this subgenre is also in (2) the appearance of a specific interaction between the state as an object of speech and its tendency to limit speech, as well as the involvement of legal instruments for protection of the freedom of speech, and (3) the methodology of its creation which is specific for the creation or more precisely for the unification of a law, and not for the creation of genre. In addition to these characteristics, the specificity of this subgenre is in the temporal and geographical universality of its significance.Bearing in mind that the methodology of the introduction of compulsory elements of permissible speech is non-linguistic, as well as the fact that artistic forms of ex- pression enjoy wide freedom, the protected or politically correct speech remainedunidentified as a new speech subgenre.

Još o instrumentalu jednine i-vrste

Author(s): Emina Berbić Kolar / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 4/2010

The article deals with the instrumental case of singular i-type nouns regarding the already existing endings -i and -ju in standard Croatian. It is known that both endings are used in standard Croatian language, although the ending -i has recently been used more frequently than the ending -ju. We were interested in the situation with Old-Štokavian speeches of the Slavonski Brod – Posavina County, since they represent the most archaic Old-Štokavian speeches, which can well present some historical linguistic changes to all linguists, especially to language historians. The material was recorded in eight villages surrounding Slavonski Brod: four villages from the first Ivšić group, three from the fourth, and one from the fifth Ivšić group. The conclusion based on the recordings is that the Old-Štokavian speeches still often use the ending -ju together with the ending -i, and that there is some usage of the ending -om deriving from the a-inflection. There are neither any strict divisions nor rules suggesting the usage of one or the other ending.

VIŠEFUNKCIONALNA INTERPRETACIJA SINTASKIČKIH JEDINICA KAO ODRAZ TRADICIONALNOG KONCEPTA ARAPSKE GRAMATIKE

Author(s): Mithat Jugo / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 18/2020

This paper attempts to explore the issue of multifunctional interpretation of syntactic elements in Arabic grammar. Thus, the aim of the research is to investigate the reasons underlying different grammatical interpretation of the same syntactic element in Arabic grammar. The focus is on an indefinite noun in the accusative case, which performs various functions within a sentence, the most common being the function of an absolute object. Through the analysis of a selected part of the Qur’anic text, the paper presents scholars’ attitudes towards this phenomenon. The findings showed that various multifunctional grammatical interpretations appeared from the very beginning of the standardization of grammar rules in Arabic. With its main postulates: an analytical approach, the concept of regency, the rule of implying certain grammar units, traditional concept of Arabic grammar left some space for the application of a functional-semantic criterion in the sentence analysis, which resulted in the appearance of different stances on the function of an indefinite noun in the accusative case. Grammatical multifunctionality is noticeable in the stances of Sibawayha, Ibn Hisham and others, while it is particularly notable within the studies dealing with the lingua-stylistic issues related to the Qur’anic text. The qualification of one syntactic from a few grammatical functions in a sentence and text results in linguastylistic implications in terms of textual economy and semantics.

Zašto možemo govoriti o posebnom hrvatskom književnom jeziku

Author(s): Petar Guberina / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 5/1996

For reasons of its topicality and the good solutions offered, we are reprinting the "Treatise on Standard Croatian" by Petar Guberina, published in 1940 in his book, co-authored by Kruno Krstic. Differences Between Standard Croatian and Serbian. Using F. de Saussure’s structuralist and Ch. Bally's stylistic methods, the author argues the autonomy of Standard Croatian. He emphasizes that, in evaluating standard-language phenomena, the various levels should be respected approaching the phenomena from synchronic, standard-language and stylistic viewpoints. Diachrony, dialectology and any other standard language, however close, must be disregarded. Since language practice can use the units from various systems, the author underlines the importance of the stylistic values of such phenomena. Frequently, a stylistic system does not produce identical stylistic values, which makes the stylistic level exceptionally important, a fact often neglected thus far.

Vltava Diverted: The Czech Crisis in Antonin Suva's "The River"

Author(s): Katherine David / Language(s): English Issue: 02/1992

With the same restless energy that gripped post-Positivists all over Europe, the rebellious 1890s generation of Czech poets explored the topography of the inner life, the soul. Arts and literature in the Czech lands, and poetry in particular, evolved rapidly in those years. In the Realist verse of the late 1880s, social conventions and the prescriptive concept of national unity had begun to disintegrate under the merciless scrutiny of the newly liberated individual. At the same time, Czech Decadents expressed their alienation and a generalized ennui in their self-absorbed verse. With roots in both these poetic movements, the connections being personal as well as stylistic and thematic, Symbolism arose in the mid-1890s. The poem "Reka," ("The River," 1897) by Antonin Sova ( 1864-1928) is representative of the Symbolist wave, but, viewed as a response to Bedrich Smetana's Vltava, is unusually explicit in its defiance of the Czech cultural establishment.

On Telling the Truth: A Cognitive Stylistic Reading of Philip Larkin’s “Talking in Bed”

Author(s): Sohaib Malkawi / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

This essay presents a cognitive stylistic analysis of Philip Larkin’s “Talking in Bed,” highlighting the linguistic functions that aid the reader in the meaning-making process. In the poem, the realization of truth dawns upon the persona in the final moments of a lingering introspection, shedding light on the reason for which he is lying in bed beside his partner, profoundly incapable of uttering a word. It seems to him, in the end, that truth is indispensable to human relationships. This essay represents a thorough attempt at textually analyzing the poem, broaching snippets of knowledge from multiple fields – philosophy, psychology, linguistics, and literature – all in an attempt to present a comprehensive interpretation of Larkin’s poem. The aim is to further evidence the speaker’s realization, that the articulation of truth is a vital element in a healthy relationship, and to provide an understanding of the stylistic technique most utilized by Larkin, namely, the linguistic deviation he usually deploys by the end of his poems. I argue that the ambiguity he instills at the end of this poem makes for a cognitive attempt at empathically communicating to the reader the sense of meaninglessness the persona suffers from throughout the poem.

A Comparative Analysis of Translations of Lucian Blaga’s Poetry into English

Author(s): Alexandra Mitrea / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

The complexity of Lucian Blaga’s poetry is a matter of common knowledge. Part of this complexity is related to the elements of prosody that Blaga skilfully employs, to say nothing of the philosophical vein which infuses his writings, and which derives, understandably, from his philosophical work. Mention should also be made of the lyrical character of Blaga’s dramatic works, which adds significantly to the effort of translating his writings into English, or any other language for that matter. In what follows, we intend to offer a bird’s eye view of the volumes that have been translated into English and to analyse a selection of poems comparatively, in order to signal challenges and discrepancies, born in the process of transferring literary material from Romanian to English, and to point out what has been lost, and, if that be the case, what has been gained in the translation process.

MUHAMED-EFENDIJA ZAHIROVIĆ I NJEGOVA IDŽAZETNAMA

Author(s): Hamza Kurtanović / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 41/2020

This paper sets forth a biography of Muhamed efendi Zahirović and it gives a review of his social activism as well as a translation of the idžazetnama (authorization) he got from Hafiz Sulayman efendi Fazlić. He was born on the 14th of December in 1886 in Modriča. He spent his entire working life as a high school religion teacher. This paper is primarily based on the idžazetnama manuscript which is kept in Gazi Husrev-beg’s Library in Sarajevo (R-10790). Setting the sanad (a list of authorities who have transmitted a report (ḥadīth) of a statement, action, or approbation of the messenger Muhammad, peace be upon him) as a guarantee of the authenticity and a critical review of every person who transmitted a ḥadīth has provided a foundation for the tradition of issuing idžazetnamas. This common practice of seeking and issuing an authorization to transmit a particular ḥadīth or work carried on in Bosnia and Herzegovina until the beginning of the 20th century. The contents of the idžazetnama portrays Muhamed efendi Zahirović as one of the more learned people in Bosnia and Hercegovina at the beginning of the 20th century.

The ominous Romanian landscape – a source of terror and distress in Bram Stoker’s Dracula

Author(s): Elena-Maria Emandi / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

The aim of this paper is to highlight the way in which Bram Stoker chose to represent the Romanian landscape with a view to creating terror and conveying the sense of otherness to an area of wilderness and superstition. The representation of such a place is “embedded” in a novel where Transylvania no longer belongs to a real, but to an “imaginative geography”, standing for threat, menace and supernatural. The stylistic approach will bring to the fore the meanings attached to this land situated “beyond the forest”, on the very edge of Europe.
