Собственные имена в русских анекдотах

Author(s): Zhiting Chen / Language(s): Russian Publication Year: 0

In this article we analyze some personal names in Russian anecdotes from the point of view of linguoculturology, applying methods of this relatively new linguistic discipline. The theory of anthropocentric language is key in modern linguistics from the end of the XX century, while the linguoculturology is the product of the anthropocentric paradigm in modern linguistics. Precedent personal names in modern anecdotes show, who is “the hero and anti-hero of contemporary times”. These names reflect part of the mentality of Russian speaker. The accumulation of background knowledge we need for understanding the comic effect of anecdotes as well as the ability to tell a joke –this is a part of a successful intercultural communication

Displaying the colour scale, light and dark tones, sounds, and emotions is a typical feature of the poems where the poetic images and symbols concretize idiostyle of the writer.

HUMOUR IN THE CLASSROOM

Author(s): Gabriela Tutunea / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This study attempts to explore the ways in which humour is used in the classroom. The underlying assumption is that humour relies on ambiguity, representing an intermediate space between different meanings. The paper starts with a theoretical presentation of several theories of humour, such as the incongruity theory, the hostility theory, and the release theory, and includes a review of different types of humour – irony, satire, or sarcasm. The practical part consists of data recorded in the classroom, which are identified as humorous. This part aims to classify the humorous instances. The conclusions are that humour occurring in the classroom is mostly innocent and inclusive; however, teachers may use humour in order to indirectly criticize students, and students may resort to humour as an attempt to challenge teachers’ authority.

L’ironie, une complication mentale. À partir de L’insoutenable légèreté de l’être de Milan Kundera

Author(s): Vasile Popovici / Language(s): French Publication Year: 0

What is the irony, this sudden burst of a double consciousness within the speech? In all its forms, irony is a playful mismatch: between the word and the real, between the word of earlier and its incongruous sequel, between the apparent and the hidden… And every time irony is a matter of the mind.

Препрочитайки Нушич

Author(s): Vyara Naydenova / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The strategies in Branislav Nušić’s comedies, observed in analysis from the perspective of linguistic stylistics, through the interdisciplinary method, described, named and justified in the present work, are: the effect of fireworks, a/symmetry; the effect of expecting the unexpected; the co-ordinate system for the development of comedic action; the sign character of objects; the “closed” rondo-composition, against the background of the linguistic and stylistic techniques typical of the writer of comedies and elements of his poetics: cumulation, abundance, aberration, irradiation and integration of stylistic means from all linguistic levels forming the stylistic code of the comic (not considered in detail). The key scenes that served as a basis for reflection are from the comedy “A Member of the Parliament”, but the conclusions are also based on “A Suspicious person”, “PhD”, and “The Cabinet Minister’s Wife”.

THE USE OF NON-FINITE CLAUSES IN WRITTEN ACADEMIC DISCOURSE

Author(s): Zuzana Kozáčiková / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This paper investigates the use and syntactic properties of non-finite clauses in different types of written academic discourse. Non-finite clauses are defined narrowly as the forms not inflected by categories that are marked inflectionally in language, as tense, aspect, mood, number, gender and person. Considering their syntactic and semantic distribution, non-finite clauses serve as markers of formal language variety. The present study tries to look at the formal realization and communicative use of non-finite forms in language.

THE FIGURATIVENESS OF THE LANGUAGE OF ST. TERESA OF ÁVILA

Author(s): Edita Hornackova Klapicova / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This paper aims at analyzing The Interior Castle of St. Teresa of Ávila using a stylistic approach. The Interior Castle was inspired by the author’s vision of the soul as a diamond in the shape of a castle containing seven mansions, which she interpreted as the journey of faith through seven stages, ending with union with God. The stylistic analysis of the chosen text combines intuition and detailed linguistic analysis of the text. The form and style of the text are an integral part of the work’s meaning and value. In our analysis of The Interior Castle, lexical and syntactical expressive means and stylistic devices are discussed in order to explore the figurative meanings of the language employed.

A GRAFIKAI REPREZENTÁCIÓ EGYIK SAJÁTOS MEGVALÓSULÁSI FORMÁJA, A RÖVID SZÖVEGES ÜZENETEK VIRTUÁLIS NYELVE – A FORDÍTÁS ÉS FORDÍTHATÓSÁG SZEMSZÖGÉBŐL

Author(s): Réka Suba / Language(s): Hungarian Publication Year: 0

The language of short text messages (omission of sonants, unique contractions, phonetic script, uppercase or lowercase styles of writing, shortened versions of English words, etc.), with its idiosyncratic norms and rules of use, makes up a part of everyday reality for the younger generation and is engendered by the need for transmitting as much information as possible within the framework of mobile technology. However, in recent times, it presents itself not only in the peculiarities of everyday speech acts, but also in advertisement campaigns launched by multinational companies. If this is the case, these advertisements, brochures, and invitations need to be translated into the language of other ethnic groups, which often requires unique adaptations in the case of these texts. Considering that specific features of expression sometimes differ form one language to the next, this task is no small challenge to translators.

FENOMENE LEGATE DE ACUSTICA TEXTELOR ÎN AUDIOVIZUALUL DE LIMBĂ MAGHIARĂ DIN ROMÂNIA

Author(s): Réka Suba / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

The informative programmes of radio and television stations mainly work with texts that are usually written down and then read out, and this phenomenon can affect and subvert the acoustic features of these texts, i.e. the tone and voice of their presentation. Professional speakers have given place to professional readers. Nevertheless, reading encompasses two interrelated yet strongly individualized factors: the text and the sound of voice, which may entail two additional issues: the modality and manner of reading and the reader’s suitability to accomplish this kind of task. Our culture, more and more focused on reading out, raises an essential question: that of taking into consideration the potentials and circumstances of transmitting oral messages in the media, as bad pronunciation, poor intonation or redundant breaks can alter the natural flow of oral discourses in such a way that receivers fail to decode the message properly. The data of this research were collected during the monitoring process of the Hungarian audio-visual media, which was carried out in Romania in November and December 2010 and 2011.

De l'approximation ou du refus de dénomination dans « Un fin passage » de France Daigle

Author(s): Cristina Petraş / Language(s): French Publication Year: 0

The designative expressions used to refer to some of the characters (anonymous ones) in the novel “Un fin passage” by France Daigle indicate a particular way of considering them and a specific narrative technique. To take a few examples, one of them is designated by “une sorte de prêtre”, “le prêtre générique”, “le poperabbin”, “le dénommé Shimon”, another by “l’homme qui n’a / avait pas l’air de lire”, a third one by “la femme à la laitue”, “la femme qui ne fume qu’en public”, “la femme qu’il disait aimer”. These expressions depict identities with fuzzy, diffuse outlines, that rely on the immediate context. This hesitation in giving characters lexicalized names is only one manifestation of what might be called a difficulty in naming things, in general (see metalinguistic expressions, approximation).

ЭВОЛЮЦИЯ СЛОВООБРАЗОВАТЕЛЬНОГО ПОЛЯ КОНЦЕПТА «ГНЕВ» В РУССКОМ ЛИТЕРАТУРНОМ ЯЗЫКЕ

Author(s): Irina V. VOTYAKOVA / Language(s): Russian Publication Year: 0

The word-formation field is a structured system of the categorical derivational values that reflect cognitive characteristics of the concept. Two microfields are distinguished in the structure of the wordformation field of the emotional concept ‘anger’ [gnev]. They are an ‘Action’ microfield and an ‘Attribute’ one. This is due to the significance of its cognitive characteristics associated with expression of its movement as well as its nature. Other microfields, which are typical for the structure of the word-formative field of this emotional concept, have not received proper derivational development. In general, we can observe a significant reduction in its derivatives. In our opinion, this is due, on the one hand, to the universalization tendency and to some simplification in perception of the emotional state which comes down to a semantic triad: ‘to experience an emotion or a state’ – ‘to bring someone to the given emotion or state’- ‘to get oneself into the given emotion or state’. In modern Russian the most common derivatives have a more generalized meaning by co-opting the semantics of the obsolete derivatives. On the other hand, the decrease in the number of the words used in speech can be ascribed to the development of a complex interaction with synonyms that are members of other families of words.

ЯЗЫКОВОЕ ПРЕДСТАВЛЕНИЕ ПЕРЦЕПТИВНОГО ОБРАЗА ГРОЗА В ПОЭТИЧЕСКОМ ТВОРЧЕСТВЕ Б.Л. ПАСТЕРНАКА

Author(s): Larisa Borisovna Kryukova,Anna Vladimirovna Khiznichenko / Language(s): Russian Publication Year: 0

The analysis of linguistic means of verbalization of a perceptual image thunderstorm in B.L. Pasternak’s poetic works is presented in the article. Primary focus is on text production potentialities of the studied perceptual units and author's individual features of the poet’s imagery. In the context of the offered research the perceptual imagery is considered as a subordinate concept in relation to a verbal imagery. The bases for separating of perceptual units is their ability "to create" a perceptual imagery (the esthetic basis) and "to mark" a perception proposition in the text (a proposition as linguistic model of a situation) (the semantic basis). Study material is original poems written by B.L. Pasternak in which contexts with semantics of thunderstorm were revealed by the continuous sampling method. In the course of work methods of the semantic and contextual analysis, elements of the linguistic and stylistic analysis of the literary text were also used. The image of a thunderstorm belongs to the brightest and significant perceptual images which are found in B.L. Pasternak's poetry – there are also nightingale, lilac, candle, kiss, etc. – and it is a complex image, along with such as rain, city, garden, tears, sobbing, etc. In the course of verbalization of a perceptual image of a thunderstorm such expressive means as metaphors, embodiments, comparisons are used

СЕМАНТИКА ОЦЕНКИ И КОННОТАЦИЯ

Author(s): Marina Vasilievna Pimenova / Language(s): Russian Publication Year: 0

The report is devoted to the evaluation-reflection in the meaning of the word logical and philosophical category of value. Evaluation is considered as one of the components of connotation along with emotionality – reflection in the meaning of the word psychological categories (emotions, feelings, moods), manifested in the expression of emotional attitude of the subject (speaking or writing) to the object, causing him positive/negative feelings (‘pleasure’ – ‘displeasure’, ‘acceptance’ – ‘repulsion’). Identify the differential features of these closely related yet not identical components of connotative meaning. Evaluation and emotionality are separated from expressiveness – the expression of the meaning of ‘very’, that is, from the manifestation of not qualitative but quantitative attitude, which, according to the author, is included in the denotative value, as well as from the functional and stylistic characteristics relating not to the semasiological but to the sociolinguistic sphere. The status of imagery as a phenomenon of semantic derivation, the production of portable values, which does not apply to connotation («co-values»), although it is one of the means of generating evaluation. Deals with the connection semantics evaluation with a descriptive (informative) value. The author believes that these syncretic phenomena are part of a special lexico-semantic category – sinkretsemia.

La lenteur chez Henri Bosco. La pratique de la répétition

Author(s): Farah ZAÏEM / Language(s): French Publication Year: 0

The work of Henri BOSCO (1888-1976) is – today – the example of a Provencal meditative, sensory and spiritual literature as it offers an enchanted parenthesis in the 20th century literary landscape, far from the din of the great technological advances or the military-sociopolitical turmoil that occupied his contemporaries. The writer from the Luberon achieved this thanks to a scriptural practice, gradually put in place, which inscribes the processes of slowness in all the strata of the text. An aesthetic of hollowing out and digging is achieved through figures of construction and meaning. This work offers an overview of the evolution of Bosco's writing, of his choice of the figure of repetition as a means of accelerating and then declaring the rhythm of these stories.

Le laboratoire de création de Gustave Flaubert, une expression de la lenteur, de la patience pour le travail d’orfèvre

Author(s): Diana Rînciog / Language(s): French Publication Year: 0

Work was a watchword in Gustave Flaubert’s life. The Letters of Gustave Flaubert, considered the laboratory of his fictional creation, “the oeuvre of the oeuvre”, frequently mentions the famous “test of loud declamation” («épreuve du gueuloir»), “the pangs of style” signifying careful consideration while writing for many hours, especially during the night, a genuine modus vivendi. Flaubert endeavours to think deeply in order to write well, since writing well is his aim and he does not hide it; that is why writing a book takes him five years on average! It is his way of purging himself, of being more Olympian. In fact, Flaubert puts in a Benedictine effort, like a jewelry maker, finding the first sentence slowly and with difficulty, at times even summarizing a whole idea, searching the libraries unhurriedly (for his last work, Bouvard and Pécuchet, he had consulted an impressive number of books, about 1500).

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

The article is dedicated to three textbooks in stylistics, published at the turn of the twentieth century, which marks the beginning of modern Bulgarian stylistics. The book of R.

The two texts are juxtaposed and some of the theoretical accomplishments of the authors are highlighted. Both books have been written for didactic purposes, yet they are fundamental for the development of stylistics in Bulgaria.

WORDS MATTER: BREAKING DOWN TERMINOLOGY FOR OLDER GENERATIONS

Author(s): Ljerka Sedlan Kőnig / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The terminology used to describe and refer to citizens aged 60 or 65 and older has been a subject of evolving discourse in literature. A comprehensive literature review reveals a shift away from traditional terms such as “senior citizens” or “elderly” which are often perceived as outdated and laden with negative connotations. The literature underscores the significance of language sensitivity in fostering inclusive and age-friendly societies, recognizing the diverse experiences and capabilities of older citizens. Researchers highlight the importance of adopting language that promotes positive and respectful attitudes toward older individuals. Commonly endorsed alternatives include “older adults” and “seniors”, emphasizing a focus on the individual’s stage of life rather than defining them solely by age. In conclusion, the literature converges on the consensus that respectful, person-centered language is pivotal in shaping public perceptions of aging and fostering a more inclusive and age-positive societal discourse.
