Language and communication – useful tools of our society

Language and communication – useful tools of our society

Author(s): Adina Paicu / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2015

Keywords: language; communication; speech; universal language; specialized language

The relation between language, communication and the members of a society and our ability to transform them into powerful tools are two subjects that will be discussed in this paper. My paper is divided into three distinctive but closely connected parts: the first part presents: language, the second part: communication and the third part presents the relation between language, communication and other fields of our society. The first two parts are theoretical ones presenting definitions, theories, and functions related to language and communication while the third part is a more practical one. Here I chose several subjects to analyze. The first subject deals with the close connection between language, communication and the physical aspects of speech, human personality, fields like psychology, philosophy, education, economy, medicine, or more abstract notions such as thinking.The second subject discussed here refers to the difference between the two meanings of the term language: speech and tongue. The third subject discusses the existence of a universal language from the perspective of the past and present. The past will be represented by the Tower of Babilon while the present by the dominance of English at world level. Can we say that English is the modern universal language? Which is the role of globalization in this matter?

Barriers in communication

Barriers in communication

Author(s): Oliviana Elena Epurescu / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2015

Keywords: communication; phrenic factors of communication; causes and strategies of optimisation

Communication is all over around us. Today, more than ever, at individual level, but also at group level, communication receives a great deal of attention. This extension to everyday life produces a true revolution of communication. The birth of radio, television, internet and mobile telephony radically changed our life. The communication revolution meant a raise in the quantity of information to which people have access. The greater the quantity, the more the risks of manipulation increases. The informational revolution had divergent effects. One of them was the conservation and strengthening of values, beliefs and behaviour norms of some groups of people; on the other hand, this revolution diminished the importance of cohesion inside a group. It invented a new field of perception: the virtual one. Virtual perception is the one that tells us what it should or should not be important for us culturally, socially, educationally, politically or economically speaking. Another aspect of communication is represented by the barriers, the central topic of this paper.

MYTH AND MAGIC IN LUCIAN BLAGA’S DESPRE GÂNDIREA MAGICĂ

MIT ȘI MAGIE ÎN LUCRAREA DESPRE GÂNDIREA MAGICĂ A LUI LUCIAN BLAGA

Author(s): Ioan Scheau / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1/2017

Keywords: myth; magic; creative spirit; autonomy; functions

The present paper will analyses the mythical thinking and the magical thinking as different approaches of knowledge as they are presented in the second volume of Lucian Blaga’s Trilogy of Values, entitled About Magical Thinking. Thus, starting from the analysis of the myth and magic in relation with the references of the creative spirit and going through the autonomy of magic, Blaga ended by enouncing the polyvalence of the idea of magic.

A CONTRASTIVE ANALYSIS OF MAJOR CLAUSE PATTERNS IN ENGLISH AND ROMANIAN BUSINESS TEXTS

A CONTRASTIVE ANALYSIS OF MAJOR CLAUSE PATTERNS IN ENGLISH AND ROMANIAN BUSINESS TEXTS

Author(s): Arina Greavu / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2017

Keywords: word order; clause pattern; subject; object; adverbial; predicative

The understanding and correct application of the principles and rules that govern the order of words in the clause are important elements in the development of students’ writing skills. However, while the overarching principles of word order tend to remain valid across different languages, the particular rules that apply to the placement of specific words and phrases in the clause can vary extensively, resulting in interference phenomena between languages. Although both in English and in Romanian word order is governed by some general principles regarding information flow, weight distribution, focus and emphasis, the placement of the core elements of the clause is more strictly regulated in English than in Romanian. This situation can lead to incorrect or marked choices in the production of English texts by Romanian students.The present paper analyses the main clause patterns used in a corpus of Romanian and English business texts, and discusses the findings from the perspective of the similarities and differences existing between the grammars of the two languages in question. In detail, we discuss the combination of clause elements such as verbs, subjects, objects, adverbials and predicatives, and the importance of these structural patterns for the study of Business English.

IOAN ALEXANDRU- THE POETICS OF THE HYMNS

IOAN ALEXANDRU – POETICA IMNELOR

Author(s): George Achim / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1/2018

Keywords: hymn formula; national vs universal; patriotic poetry; byzantine tradition; philosophy;

In the case of Ioan Alexandru poetry, the option for the so-called patriotic poetics- that is a lyrical discourse focused on the home reality or on subject with a national specificity, treated at its highest, as well as taking up the hymn formula, they are all linked to a firm interior structure, genuinely peasant, upon which there is a well-structured intellectual model, forged and refined through the thorough and direct contact with the European poetry and philosophy and especially the German one. It seems that the direction of taking up and accepting the national as a spiritual model and creative pattern stems, in his case, from the universal.

Camus: the Essais about Romanesque

CAMUS : DES ESSAIS VERS LE ROMANESQUE

Author(s): Visoka Avdi,Nysret Krasniqi / Language(s): French / Issue: 2/2018

Keywords: Camus; the absurd; the revolt; intertextuality; literary reception;

"If you want to be a philosopher, write novels" affirmed Albert Camus during his literature beginnings. This, perhaps, more originary and more essentially expresses the existing dualistic character between the literature and the philosophy of Camus's work. Since the appearance of his first works, they were subject of debates and sometimes misunderstandings in France and also elsewhere. This particular phenomenon, in the field of literary reception, surprisingly, still continues today with the new literary and ideological developments in France and in the whole world.This article aims to emphasize, once again, the deeply humanist character of Camus' work based on the intense dialogue between his philosophical and literary work. His entire work highlights literary ideas morethan philosophical theses, and it especially express an artistic view to the service of humanity. The Camussian reflection continues to influence the current audience including the Albanian and Kosovar public. Camus remains stronglyfamiliar to the contemporary sensibility and reflection, to the Kosovar sensibility as well. His literary conceptions of absurd and revolt are always affirmed by enthusiastic university students; his views on solidarity and freedom still inspire the Kosovar intelligentsia to striveto create a better humanistic future.

WILLIAM FAULKNER – PARTICULARITIES IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NOVEL’S ARCHITECTURE

WILLIAM FAULKNER – PARTICULARITĂŢI ÎN CONSTRUCŢIA ARHITECTURII ROMANEŞTI

Author(s): Ingrid Cezarina Elena Barbieru / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 3/2018

Keywords: the novel’s architecture; Snopes’ trilogy; William Faulkner; modern literature; literary technique;

William Cuthbert Faulkner (25th of September 1897 – 6th of July 1962) is one of the most essential pillars during the birth of the modern novel. His masterpieces illustrate the innovations produced by the novel’s literary art, which refers especially to the use of the interior monologue technique, to the literary painting of the local color of the southern literature and inventing, in both a mythic and realistic manner, a whole fictional region, Yoknapatawpha. In addition, Faulkner will constantly experiment new and new literary techniques in order to represent the mechanisms of mind and memory functioning as concise as possible, his most important contribution being the implementation of the technique of consciousness flow, technically used exceptionally by James Joyce and Virginia Woolf. In 1925, thanks to his friend, Sherwood Anderson’s encouragement, Faulkner will develop his own literary style, grounded in his appeal to the features of his native places.His first novels, including Soldier's Pay (1926), Mosquitoes (1927), The Sound and Fury (1929), As I Lay Dying (1930), Sartoris (1929) are experimental attempts to explore, draw and transfer into the fiction the unexplainable aspects of the psyche. By directly contacting Freud's ideas and experimental prose by Joyce, through his numerous travels on the European continent, Faulkner creates his own literary style by developing and using in his novels the traditional literary techniques, such as the inner monologue or the multiple perspectives technique. The comic, the tragic, the grotesque and the absurd intertwine in Faulkner’s prose, following the sinuous route of the human psyche. Individual, social and cultural psychology are key pillars in shaping Faulkner’s characters, contributing to the southern collective mentality displaying and building an image of the local color. Theorized by Jung, the collective subconscious represents the informative mental network to which each member of the human species is connected and which gives him access to a series of knowledge, habits, archetypes or beliefs. Thus, the fictional domain created by Faulkner, Yoknapatawpha, will illustrate this network of South American collective subconscious mind, from mentality to the social system. Another influence in the sphere of psychoanalysis is the Freudian theories that address the diversity of the reactions of the human psyche, identified in various instances. Starting from these theories, Faulkner will create a unique way of describing individual psychic processes. His prose contains not only influences from the sphere of psychoanalysis, but also influences from Shakespearean and Victorians literary styles.

ELEGY IN ROMANIAN LITERATURE OF 1848

ELEGIA ÎN LITERATURA ROMÂNĂ DIN PERIOADA PAȘOPTISTĂ

Author(s): Iuliana Wainberg-Drăghiciu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1/2020

Keywords: elegy; sensitivity; sadness; love; patriotism; the revolution of 1848;

Characterized by expressing the sadness, which can evolve from melancholy and regret to soul pain, the elegy has attracted many poets throughout the ages. In Romanian literature, in the era on which we focused our attention, many poets were attracted to such lyrics. In our study we focus on some important names in the history of Romanian literature, such as I. Heliade-Rădulescu, Vasile Cîrlova, Grigore Alexandrescu, Dimitrie Bolintineanu, Vasile Alecsandri, Gheorghe Asachi and aim to highlight some of the most beautiful elegies they wrote during the period around the revolution of 1848. There are poems full of sensitivity, sometimes crossed by melancholy or even sadness, in which the elegiac verses spring from unshared love, or mourn the death of the beloved being, or are crossed by patriotism and longing for the homeland.

Reflecting on Matei Visniec’s Theatre

EN REFLECHISSANT SUR LE THEATRE DE MATÉI VISNIEC

Author(s): Rodica Gabriela Chira / Language(s): French / Issue: 1/2021

Keywords: Matei Visniec; theatre; title and content; characters; structure and story; message;

Reflecting on Matei Visniec’s Theatre. A dramatist whose plays are to be discovered on the stages of thirty countries, Matei Visniec is offering us a wide and rather complete image of nowadays’ world. We propose a reflection on some of his plays, grouped in three categories: plays in acts (Petit boulot pour vieux clown–1998), plays in scenes (Les détours de Cioran ou Mansarde à Paris avec vue sur la mort–2004, De la sensation d’élasticité lorsqu’on marche sur des cadavres completed with Pièce librement inspirée de l’œuvre d’Eugène Ionesco–2009)and short plays in volumes(Attention aux vieilles dames rongées par la solitude. Théâtre de la tendresse et de la folie ordinaires–2004, Le Cabaret des mots–2014). This reflection focuses on three aspects, namely the connection between the title of the play and its content, the characters, the impact the structure of the play establisheswith the story in itself.The perspective is that of a play reader, not the one of a spectator. Several conclusions may be underlined: Matei Visniec’s theatre generally follows contemporary practices;it is pleading for the discontinuous, fragmentary type of writing;it operates with commonplace-characters insisting on the ability words have in transmitting information or, on the contrary of confusing the issue, in function of the existence or the absence of authentic communication.
