Conflictele umane sunt perene deoarece sunt date de natura umană şi de răspunsul acesteia la factorii de mediu. Dar fizionomia confruntărilor variază în funcţie de epocă, teritoriu, motivaţii, mijloace tehnologice. Încleştările armate ale erei contemporane caută să domine toate mediile (apă, aer, pământ, spaţiul cibernetic, minţile oamenilor şamd.), dar strategul şi logicisticianul trebuie să hotărască ce mijloc trebuie folosit într-un dosar sau altul pentru a obţine rezultatul optim. Ceea ce numim de vreo douăzeci şi cinci de ani RMA- Revoluţia în Afacerile Militare presupune abandonarea concepţiei războiului de masă, bazat în primul rând pe cantitate şi trecerea la războiul calitativ, axat pe resurse puţine, număr redus de oameni, folosirea intensivă a aparaturii electronice şi înfrângerea duşmanului nu atât prin aneantizarea sa cât prin paralizarea punctelor nevralgice.

Mărci frazeologice ale tradiţiei culturale româneşti

Author(s): Monica Bilauca / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1/2017

Keywords: phraseologisms; idioms; proverbs; locutions;

Our paper aims to emphasize the way phraseologisms – linguistic facts endowed with semantic and expressive density – have marked the cultural tradition of the Romanian language. We have analyzed the idioms, the proverbs, the locutions referring to the rites of passage (birth, marriage, death) and highlighted the advantages of their investigation and their importance in the process of transmission and value adding which contribute to configure the identity of the Romanian culture.

În anul 2007, la cunoscuta editură ieşeană Institutul European, era publicat, sub atenta coordonare a lector univ.dr. Cristinel Munteanu, volumul intitulat simplu Discursul repetat între alteritate şi creativitate. Este, mai întâi de toate, un volum omagial, un volum care s-a născut din dorinţa unor foşti sau actuali doctoranzi ai domnului profesor Stelian Dumistrăcel de a sărbători într-un fel special împlinirea unei vârste rotunde a celui care a avut o contribuţie decisivă la formarea lor ca cercetători dăruiţi limbii române.

Some observations concerning the discursive manifestations of the religious utterance in the public discourse and in the contemporary journalistic text

Quelques observations concernant les manifestations discursives de l’énoncé religieux dans le discours public et dans le texte journalistique contemporain

Author(s): Monica Bilauca / Language(s): French / Issue: 06/2008

We can notice nowadays an important come-back in the public oral discourse and in the journalistic written text of statements meant to re-establish the status of the Church by the propagation of the Christian message. Thus, in his search for a renewed, refreshed language, the journalist strives to give up clichés and automatisms, in favour of more seducing formulas. Our analysis follows the strategy of reintegrating stylistically expressive phrases in Academia Caţavencu journal, procedure which must be associated with the encyclopaedic competence, the interlocutors’ cultural and educational qualification.

Bona mors or bona mortis? Description of the death of St Monica in St Augustine's "Confessions" compared to the good results of death in "De bono mortis" by St Ambrose

Bona mors czy bona mortis? Opis śmierci św. Moniki w Wyznaniach św. Augustyna a dobra płynące ze śmierci w De bono mortis św. Ambrożego

Author(s): Grzegorz Pakowski / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2023

Keywords: Death; salvation; Augustine; Ambrose; Monica

St Monica, the mother of St Augustine, was also a listener to St Ambrose's homilies. The Bishop of Milan also had a significant influence on her son's thought. Both St Augustine and Ambrose spoke on the subject of death, but used different literary forms - Augustine's Confessions are autobiographical, Ambrose is the author of the moral-theological booklet De bono mortis. The aim of this article is to answer the question to what extent the description of St Monica's death in the Confessions by St Augustine is a literary realisation of the philosophical and theological postulates related to bona mors (good death) formulated by St Ambrose in De bono mortis. The article consists of four parts. The first outlines the approach to the theme of death in Christian antiquity; the second discusses the basic elements of St Ambrose's concept as presented in De bono mortis; the third part juxtaposes the above concept with excerpts from St Augustine's Confessions; and the fourth part concludes and attempts to answer the research question posed.

The Kafkaesque woman and her monstrous double in the Andean Gothic: Analysis of the short story “Las Voladoras” by Mónica Ojeda

La mujer kafkiana y su doble monstruoso en el gótico andino: Análisis del cuento “Las Voladoras”, de Mónica Ojeda

Author(s): Leira Araújo-Nieto / Language(s): Spanish / Issue: Special/2023

Keywords: Franz Kafka; Andean Gothic; monster; Ecuador

Mónica Ojeda (Guayaquil, 1988) is an Ecuadorian writer whose literature is linked to the horror in its multiple forms. Furthermore, Las Voladoras (2020), included Ojeda in a new literary genre called Andean Gothic, a category where horror and Latin American myths convey. This paper analyzes how Ojeda adapts the disposition of the narrative elements to the Andean folklore. Moreover, it studies Ojeda’s reconstruction of the female monster by introducing the figure of a woman and its double, a hybrid between witch and animal, in order to create an alter ego effect. This article addresses how this narrative maneuver links Ojeda to Franz Kafka (1883–1924) and his vision of the monster in society.

Author(s): Luigi Tassoni / Language(s): Italian / Issue: 1/2024

Keywords: book review; Monica Fekete;

Nel suo articolato studio sulle Riscritture cavalleresche nel romanzo contemporaneo, Monica Fekete apre in maniera originale e puntualmente documentata una serie di tracciati lungo una serie di elementi portanti per la narrativa a noi contemporanea, considerando quegli aspetti di contaminazione e rielaborazione inventiva provenienti dalla letteratura medievale e umanistica europea. E per converso, e con un necessario ribaltamento delle cronologie, propone in contesto medievistico e umanistico una sorta di arricchimento da prospettiva diversa, ovvero quella a noi contemporanea, operazione che troppo spesso viene disertata dagli specialisti di quest’ultima storiografia critica, con grave danno per la complessità delle ricezioni possibili. Complessità che non sfugge ai nostri scrittori, da Calvino a Camilleri, così come non sfuggiva nella pratica intertestuale disinvolta tra Boccaccio e Ariosto.

Author(s): Roxana Mihele / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2024

Keywords: MONICA ANTONELLO; review;

In an increasingly globalized economy and cosmopolitan society, teaching and training tomorrow’s specialists brings new challenges for the (foreign) language teachers. ESP (English for Specialized Purposes) tutors in particular need to pay attention to the way they prepare their students and improve upon their foreign language skills, so that young graduates can easily find insertion in the labor market. In some specific domains, such as Tourism, where interaction with both natives and foreign speakers of English can be a regular if not daily occurrence, mastering an average level of English and demonstrating some degree of intercultural communication competency may no longer be enough.

”MAKING THINGS MORE OR LESS FUZZY WITH WORDS?” - HEDGING IN MEDICAL RESEARCH ARTICLES: NATIVE VS NON-NATIVE SPEAKERS OF ENGLISH, BY MONICA MIHAELA MARTA

”MAKING THINGS MORE OR LESS FUZZY WITH WORDS?” - HEDGING IN MEDICAL RESEARCH ARTICLES: NATIVE VS NON-NATIVE SPEAKERS OF ENGLISH, BY MONICA MIHAELA MARTA

Author(s): Anișoara Pop / Language(s): English / Issue: 6/2024

Keywords: hedging; medical research articles; native speakers; non-native speakers;Monica Mihaela Marta.

In this review we focus our attention on Monica Mihaela Marta's1 book. The book of the author, entitled Hedging in Medical Research Articles: Native vs Non-Native Speakers of English (2019) investigates, with remarkable accuracy, the mechanisms of hedging and the different ways of defining it. Hedging is, after all, a complex phenomenon whose fields of reference are lexicology, pragmatics and semantics. Lately, this phenomenon has been intensively studied and discussed and, with this review, we aim to explore this current mechanism. In literary sphere, hedging provides language with that euphemistic, polite valence, contributing to the fluidity of the communication process. This review has therefore aimed to explore some of the hypostases and facets of hedging, with focus upon hedging in medical research articles.

ÎN CONTRATIMP – AN EARLY FICTION OF THE ROMANIAN WRITER MONICA LOVINESCU

ÎN CONTRATIMP – O PROZĂ DE TINEREȚE A MONICĂI LOVINESCU

Author(s): Georgeta Orian / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 2/2024

Keywords: Monica Lovinescu; interwar Romanian literature; autobiographical fiction

This article proposes a close reading approach to the most consistent of the early fiction of the writer Monica Lovinescu (1923-2008). Known more as a militant exponent of the Romanian exile after World War II, Monica Lovinescu is the author of an impressive memoir, but her literary work from her formative years is more often known by specialists than by the general public. The reading of the short novel În contratimp (1945) in the context of the times is also based on her own confessions about her passion for theatre and the artistic environment she attended in the final period of her university studies, when the text was written. The correlation of her biographical details with the profile of one of the novel's characters allows us to formulate the conclusion of an autobiographical text.

The Language of Saint Monica and the Experience of Unspeakable Words. Ἐνθουσιασμός and Her Words “With Much Power”

The Language of Saint Monica and the Experience of Unspeakable Words. Ἐνθουσιασμός and Her Words “With Much Power”

Author(s): Liviu Petcu,Emanuela-Maria Petcu / Language(s): English / Issue: 4/2024

Keywords: language; Saint Monica; experience; unspeakable words; power; enthusiasm;

In this article, we would like to highlight the fact that the words “with much power” of Saint Monica, the mother of Blessed Augustine, won the soul of her son and directed him towards moral beauty, writing the words of eternal life in his heart. And Augustine, as soon as he received the power of the Word, rose and came close to the light of divinity. The power of the word is extraordinary. Every word has power, because it belongs to someone, because through the word one’s desire and will are expressed. And the desire, the will, the calling of that one moves the one to whom it is directed. Man persuades man. Man gives power to man, primarily through the word. Biblical and liturgical language is, above all, something living: it moves the heart, it does not satisfy the mind. Of course, it depends on each person (on his openness and capacity) how much he shares and uses these words. God, through the energy of the word, tries to contact man. Man, through the word of prayer, tries to respond to God. Man shows his freedom and free choice when he responds to God through prayer, when he can say “Amen” to God, to God’s call. The words of mother Monica to her son, Augustine, were words spoken with great power and enthusiasm. The very word ἐνθουσιασμός in Greek means the one over whom a Divinity hovers.
