Polisemia y colocaciones en la traducción

Author(s): Lavinia SEICIUC / Language(s): Spanish Issue: 1/2016

Lexical ambiguity is perhaps one of the main causes of linguistic confusion in translating texts between two genetically related languages. Polysemantic words can have a bilateral correspondence in both languages, but often this is not the case, so their translation depends mostly on the context, i. e. the syntagmatic relations with other words. Our paper aims to present two different situations that illustrate the behavior of polysemantic words in translation.

L’ÉNONCIATION COMME ACTE SÉMIOTIQUE (III). L’objet sémiotique comme un enjeu de manipulation et de sanction: stratégies et contre stratégies

Author(s): Joseph COURTÉS / Language(s): French Issue: 10/2010

The paper is written to present and to analyze the semiotic strategies set up by human behavior in semiotic interaction, with particular emphasis on manipulation and sanction, extremely present in daily interactions. These strategies are studied by the author both at the content and at the form level, with relevant examples from various semiotics like literature or art, with a view to enhance the enunciator’s ability to make believe and the addressee’s capacity to judge and sanction. Enunciation acts at a cognitive level, being mainly an “illusion”, that is a semiotic construct, with no referential character, founded on the seeming instead of the being.

Der Zweifel an der Metapher. Betrachtungen zu Franz Kafkas Stil

Author(s): Laura-Elena MIHĂILEASA / Language(s): German Issue: 2/2010

In the article “The Rejection of the Metaphor. Thoughts on the Kafkian Style” we argue that the simplicity of the Praguean writer’s style and the purposeful avoidance of metaphor are based on the conviction that reality is one, indivisible and uninterpretable, and that literature should express this reality. For Kafka, metaphor is not a way to reveal the essence of reality, but a trap that alienates the writer from the essence of things. By trying to find the limits of the correspondence between literature and reality and attempting to reach the utopia of the total correspondence between word and world, Kafka builds his own style, one characterized by great simplicity, clearness and concreteness, where metaphor is used parsimoniously.

Frame Semantics And Verbs Of Motion. The Case of Enter And Go Into. A Corpus-Based Study

Author(s): Svetlana Nedelcheva,Mariana Todorova / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

The article studies the verbs enter and go into in a corpus of technical texts on a comparative basis. We apply the methodology of Frame semantics with the purpose of showing foreign learners of English an indicative characteristic of the language, i.e. the various constructions, in which enter and go into participate, as well as the semantic network of their distinctive meanings. In this research we rely on the usage-based approach and provide evidence for the importance of context in the semantic analysis and frame profiling. The analysis contributes to constructing a theoretically and empirically coherent approach to technical corpus data and investigating its specificities to help students acquire English constructions and use them efficiently and effortlessly in written and spoken communication.

The Cognitive Approach As A Challenge In Foreign Language Teaching

Author(s): Miroslava Tsvetkova / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2016

The cognitive approach in foreign language teaching attracts young learners’ attention to the topic, enhances and facilitates the comprehension of grammar and language, increases students’ motivation, as well as helps students to memorize new vocabulary and structures. The aim of the article is to persuade teachers that the cognitive approach applied in the lesson provokes a change in the dynamics of the language classroom and serves as a motivational tool for students. An author’s cognitive model is an example for the easy comprehension and production of the difficult English present progressive construction by Bulgarian young learners.The model is discussed within the generativist framework and the usage-based theories as the pre-linguistic conditions take an important part in it. The taxonomy of constructions, which is also part of the model, focuses on the relationship between the English present progressive construction and the constructions preceding it.

Teaching Conversational Implicature To Adult Language Learners

Author(s): Polina Mitkova / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2016

Despite the widely-held belief that second/foreign language acquisition takes place more effortlessly in the early age, this paper aims to research the impact of the age factor in this process and to find out what adjustments need to be made in the teaching environment in order to optimize the second/foreign language acquisition for adult learners of English. The paper will address the topic of teaching particularized conversational implicature through the activity attached, because it gives a real example of what it means to know all the words of what one hears, but not to be prepared to respond in a socially acceptable manner. The aim of this paper is to equip adult learners with the linguistic formula “Not + very + positive adjective” that will help them overcome awkward situations that inhibit their engagement in communication, on the one hand, and, on the other, to prompt teachers to consider factors such as motivation, self-confidence and fixed-mindset that may considerably change the desired outcomes.

Акценти при изучаването на класовете думи (5. – 7. клас)

Author(s): Krasimira Chepisheva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2018

Teaching literacy at school is largely dependent on morphology as a component of linguistics and as a subject area providing the resource needed to achieve the ultimate goal of learning. The abstract nature of the language hierarchy has always been a prerequisite for the emergence of a number of difficulties in mastering and applying knowledge about parts of speech and the skills for their analysis. School practice confirms that students have difficulties in assimilating the morphological meaning of the word and formulating concepts which affects their spelling, punctuation, and grammar skills.
