Cultural diversity and linguistic variation in the phraseology of residential dwellings

Cultural diversity and linguistic variation in the phraseology of residential dwellings

Author(s): Luminiţa Drugă,Nadia-Nicoleta Morăraşu / Language(s): English / Issue: 09/2011

Keywords: cultural diversity; linguistic variation; phraseology; phraseological unit; residential dwelling

This study proposes a systematization of the phraseology of residential dwellings in a trilingual investigation of a whole series of culturally-specific phraseological units: idiomatic expressions, compound words, fixed combinations/collocations, clichés, proverbs and sayings etc. The linguistic and cultural analyses emphasize the existence of some mental images and conceptualizations of dwelling-houses, shared by and “conventionalized in the speech community” (Ellis 2008:2), with a proven discursive and stylistic potential and an impressive linguistic variety.

Stronger than Upheavals

Stronger than Upheavals

Author(s): Dana Sala / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2013

Keywords: letters; torture; secret crimes of Communism; sacrifice; premonition of death; mother-daughter relationship; testimony of life between 1947-1951 in Romania.

Ecaterina Bălăcioiu-Lovinescu was the perfect embodiment of what Julia Kristeva calls “the female genius”. In the absence of her daughter, Monica, mother Ecaterina goes through all stages of despair. There is only one thing she could do, however, which is to write to her daughter every day and thus keep her close to her heart. Mother has nothing to oppose to the intensifying terror of Stalinist abuses but the power of love. There is no force in the world that can prevent her from striving for a psychical un-separation from her daughter. The letters are the result of this attempt. These letters have a powerful effect of catharsis, they are the carrier of a guiltless guilty charge. The editor of the book, Astrid Cambose, follows closely the relationship between premonitory deeds and their expression.

The Semantics of the Romanian Verb A MÂNCA (TO EAT)

Semantica verbului a mânca în limba română

Author(s): Monica Bilauca / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 2/2017

Keywords: phraseology; Romance languages; universals of thought; nutrition.

In an attempt to investigate a series of phraseological structures concerning alimentation, we will describe the Romanian mentality on nutrition and we will comment on the implications of the metaphorical use of such structures in relation to the general knowledge about humankind. The phrasemes in our corpus were selected from phraseological dictionaries and from Iuliu Zanne’s Proverbele românilor. Although it is common knowledge that phraseology represents the untranslatable side of any language, we will focus on identifying common patterns of representation and on providing our own gloss on the divergent mentality within the Neo-Latin culture, along with the cultural or linguistic stock that generated the phrasemes.

Ironic connotation of some specialized field neologisms used in oral verbal interaction in Romanian

Connotación irónica de algunos neologismos del ámbito especializado utilizados en la interacción verbal oral en rumano

Author(s): Cătălina-Iuliana PÎNZARIU / Language(s): Spanish / Issue: 29/2020

Keywords: argot; étymologie multiple; ironie; métaphore; néologisme;

Par le langage, les mots et toutes ses savoirs, l’homme parvient à exprimer sa vision du monde dans lequel il vit. L’évolution et la créativité humaine déterminent l’adaptation continue du vocabulaire, pour maîtriser de façon synchrone les nouvelles réalités. Le grand nombre de néologismes, tant dans une utilisation récente que ceux qui ont atteint un certain âge dans la langue, est une conséquence des changements sociaux, mais aussi de l’effort constamment manifesté par l’homme pour les conceptualiser, les connaître et les dominer dans leur utilisation. La gamme de nouvelles significations des mots existants dans le vocabulaire roumain continue de nous étonner avec leurs nouvelles utilisations en tant que termes argotiques adoptés, parfois rapidement, par les locuteurs.

The Id of Idiosyncratic Idioms in Individual Romance and Germanic Languages vs the Superego of Universal Languaculture

The Id of Idiosyncratic Idioms in Individual Romance and Germanic Languages vs the Superego of Universal Languaculture

Keywords: idiom; ear; sensory/cognitive perception; languaculture; contrastive phraseology; Romance vs Germanic;

Inspired by the semantically equivalent series E talk one’s head/armoff – G sich ein Loch in den Bauch [= belly] reden – S hablar por los codos [=elbows] – R a i se duce gura [=mouth] la urechi [=ears; peripheralconstituent] – I fare una testa [= head] di qualcuno cosi, the approach at handis intended to complement the prevailingly language-based one and take theanalysis to the more complex, languacultural level, with the aim of bringingidiosyncratic patterns of forma mentis in individual languacultures to bear onsemantic selection of core constituents in interlingually synonymous idioms,and, while allowing for such factors as sheer frequency, contextual pragmaticclues, salient cultural practices or perceived gaps, also attempt to explore andaccount for similarities and contrasts both intra-languaculturally (i.e. withinlanguage families) and inter-languaculturally (i.e. across language families).The major focus of the present contribution – which merely broaches the topicat issue in this first research phase – is on ear and its interlingual synonyms asfeatured by idioms of English, German, Italian, Romanian and Spanishextraction.

Keywords: documents;letters;diachronic;language;Romanians;

Our analysis is based on a corpus of documents related to the history of the Romanians, namely papers and private letters from the Bistriţa cities Archives, published by Nicolae Iorga and Alexandru Rosetti; our comments aim to set up a representative image of the language used during that period; that goal is to be accomplished by outlining the specific features of the language, by explicit or implicit comparisons with the previous stages of the language.

Semantic valences of adverbial phrases în veci, pe veci (forever, always) in the epitaphs of Săpânţa

Valenţe semantice ale locuţiunilor adverbiale în veci, pe veci în epitafurile de la Săpânţa

Author(s): Monica Timofte / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1/2021

Keywords: în veci(e)/ pe veci(e); lexical meaning; semantic feature; variable semantics; religious language; functional style of language;

The present paper proposes an analysis of the lexical meaning of the adverbial phrases în veci(e) / pe veci(e), as used in the epitaphs of the The Merry Cemetery in Săpânţa. The contexts in which they appear favor the decryption of their lexical meanings in close connection with the semantic valences they have in the religious language of the Bible.

Author(s): Monica Timofte / Language(s): English / Issue: 32/2021

Keywords: lexical meaning; ecclesiastical language; biblical language; DLR; variable semantics; semantic features;

Die vorliegende Arbeit ist der dritte Teil einer lexikalischen Studie über die Bedeutung der adverbialen Wendungen în veci(e)/pe veci(e) [ewiglich/für alle Zeiten], wie sie in den Grabinschriften des Fröhlichen Friedhofs in Săpânţa verwendet werden. Die Semantik, die diese Adverbiale in den Epitaphien von Săpânţa haben, wird parallel zu der Semantik analysiert, die sie in der Bibel haben; die Ergebnisse unserer Analyse werden anschließend der semantischen Beschreibung gegenübergestellt, die die rumänischen Wörterbücher für diese Lexeme bereitstellen. Der Vergleich führt zu einer These zum aktuellen Stand der rumänischen lexikographischen Beschreibung, die den semantischen Widerspruch zwischen kirchlichem und biblischem Gebrauch hinsichtlich der Ableitungen des Substantivs veac [Zeitalter] nicht erfasst. Die Evidenz, dass die lexikografischen Arbeiten auf den gegenwärtigen Forschungsstand aktualisiert werden müssen, gibt Anlass zu einer Untersuchung und Reflexion aus inter- und transdisziplinärer Perspektive.

Subjective Syntactic Structures: A Case Study

Subjective Syntactic Structures: A Case Study

Author(s): Monica Timofte / Language(s): English / Issue: 4/2021

Keywords: The Royal Cookbook; syntactic subjectivity; text-unit; metatext; syntactic modus; syntactic dictum

The volume Carte regală de bucate (The Royal Cookbook) is the object of our investigation from a syntactic-pragmatic perspective. The inventory of recipes highlighted the structural patterns of the incident metatext as a language unit. The focal interest of this paper is to inventory the forms of encoding syntactic subjectivity. The analysis of the language facts led to the confirmation of the updated Romanian linguistic theory referring to the text as a syntactic-pragmatic unit and to the syntactic modus, and occasioned necessary dissociations between the different language levels at which the phenomenon of modality appears.
