Author(s): Aura Gherguț / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2012

The purpose of this paper is to present an analysis of medical metaphors discovered in Romanian newspapers, starting from a referential book on conceptual metaphors, written by linguists George Lakoff and Mark Johnson. Journalistic metaphors stand out through a different function from the classical one, but nevertheless essential in the journalistic language: it is a means of emphasizing the message. Medical metaphors are a constant presence in the journalistic style and have a powerful impact on readers; however, their use in mass-media has often been put under doubt.

LITERARY TRANSLATION AS SIGNIFICATION AND COMMUNICATION

Author(s): Oana Florina Avornicesei / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2012

Analysing translation along the coordinates of signification and communication means putting it into a semiotic perspective. The aim of this paper is to bring together in a coherent analysis the elements which define translation both as a system of signification and as a process of communication. The two key-words, system and process, are meant to define the nature and the role of the meaning. Meaning is the stake of any act of translation: finding it in a text with a view to conveying it into another text and, beyond it, to the readers, within certain contexts. Semiotics offers the necessary analytical framework which allows the translation theoretician to regard in an integrated manner both the system of meaning creation and the process of its conveyance.

Ф. М. ДОСТОЈЕВСКИ, СИМОНА ВЕЈ И СТОЈАН СТИВ ТЕШИЋ O ДУХОВНОЈ ИСКОРИЈЕЊЕНОСТИ САВРЕМЕНОГ ЧОВЈЕКА И ПУТЕВИМА КОЈИ МОГУ ДОВЕСТИ ДО ПОНОВНОГ УКОРЈЕЊИВАЊА

Author(s): Radoje Šoškić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 49/2/2012

The present paper strives to analyse the works and ideas of three authors F. M. Dostoevsky („Legend of the Grand Inquisitor“), Simone Weil (The Need for Roots), and Stojan Steve Tesich (On the open road) in the light of their struggle for reviving man’s primordial forms of conscience and consciousness which will help humanity regain ability to resist religious and ethical mutations of the present era. These authors believe that the official religious institutions of Christian church, having cast away Christ’s gospel of brotherly love, have sided with “Him”, (as voiced and testified by Dostoevsky’s Grand Inquisitor) the Satan himself, who tempted Christ in the desert by offering him rule over “kingdom of earth” in exchange for Christ’s submission. Scientific humanism coupled with Christianity’s betrayal of eternal values posited by Christ has stripped man naked of the religious context which gave his life meaning, leaving him/her free falling in the abyss of nihilism. Weil suggests, which is one of her major ideas in The need for Roots, that the cure to the moral plight of modern European humanity resides in its ability to bring back “the spirit of truth”, love and grace into modern Christianity, which is in its present state devoid of these evangelical virtues. Weil and Dostoevsky’s ideas are shared by Steve Tesich, a Serbian-American screenwriter, playwright and novelist, whose play On the open road is based on Dostoevsky’s „Legend of the Grand Inquisitor“.

КЊИЖЕВНОСТ И АКТИВИЗАМ Б. ВОНГАРА И Ж. М. Г. ЛЕ КЛЕЗИОА

Author(s): Jelena N. Arsenijević Mitrić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 49/2/2012

This paper will analyze the works of B. Wongar and J. M. G. Le Clézio with an attempt to present and critically examine the reasons which led them to engage in (post)colonial subjects and emphasize the similarities in the assessment of the (post) colonial society and culture of domination about which Wongar and Le Clézio write in their literary texts. Their works to a large extent present a severe critique of the modern world. These authors try to indicate how western culture, under the guise of „globalization“ and „multiculturalism“, continues to develop the practice established in the age of the great imperial conquest. The article also discusses what encouraged these authors to the voluntary exile from civilization and cultural matrix of the West and turning them to other cultures. The paper points out the complementarity of their literary texts, particularly in the selection of topics, and also examines the possible parallels, considering the fact that they belong to the synchronous moment, although acting independently of one another. A comparative analysis of their work includes a reference to the corpus of texts of postcolonial literary criticism. This, of course, includes a wider anthropological view, because this kind of literature involves more extensive cultural perception. In the case of these authors, literature isn’t just descriptive and artistic mode, but type of activism, which is to defend the achievements of primary cultures of ancient heritage of knowledge, and that just disappear, or indirectly by technocratic societies, which date from the first colonization to the present day.

АЛТЕРНАТИВНИ ИНТЕЛЕКТУАЛНИ ПУТ Е. П. ТОМПСОНА

Author(s): Ivana Bančević Pejović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 49/2/2012

This essay presents the work of Edward Palmer Thompson, British historian whose involvement with history is inseparable from his study of literature (of romantic poets above all) which records fragmented personal stories of the oppressed (Blake would say ‘minute Particulars’) that official history of the winners ignores, silences and excludes from active participation in the challenges we face today. At the moment when the so called New World Order is trying to impose itself as an option without alternatives, Thompson’s deep involvement with the history of ideas is hugely important. His concern with traditions that are alternative to the dominant discourse of the world order currently in power, keeps these traditions alive and makes it possible for them to re-enter the battle of ideas that will shape the twentyfirst century. That is the reason why his studies of history and culture deserves to be presented to our public, and better known.

Author(s): Ndreu Irena / Language(s): English Issue: 7/2017

PARTICULAR LINGUISTIC FEATURES OF THE ALBANIAN GREETINGS IN THE ENGLISH TEXTS OF THE EARLY AND MID 20th CENTURY

Author(s): Benita Stavre,Erinda Papa / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2017

Language is in itself an entity of units that reflect the national identity, the traditional awareness and the particular features in which people choose to organize their daily life. Greetings remain an interesting and, at the same time, a never exhausted study domain. They express significant features of the age, the gender, the social status and the relation between people involved in communication. They also become illustrations of the geographic environment, of the historic developments and of the way the mentality is materialized in the relation between people in a given country, from generation to generation and definitely from one culture to another. The paper intends to analyze particular features of the above linguistic means that inspire cultural exchange of mentality between two very different nations.

Nino De Vita: poezja sycylijska między dialektalnością a zwierzęcością

Author(s): Paulina Malicka / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2016

The purpose of this article is to draw attention to the issue of human‑animal relationships in contemporary works of poetry and prose by Nino De Vita (b. 1950) – a Sicilian born in Marsala, for whom the local dialect of Cutusiu contrade becomes the language of expression. The author leaves out of his writings anthropocentric models and introduces into them narratives concerning various forms of life marked by common and indivisible history. Both animal and human characters share similar fates, experience the same emotions, reciprocate feelings, suffer and feel fear. Still, what unites the human and animal world most is the language, or rather the dialect, of Marsala – a common channel of interspecies communication. The expression of the animal nature in people who wish to most spontaneously and sincerely express their own emotions and moods, resorts to dialectal sound, the mother tongue, characterized by great intimacy but also violence. Finally, the dialectality and animality of Nino De Vita’s work involve going beyond the boundaries, tracking and leaving traces as well as marking the territory for fear of loss and being left. This poetry is written in the name of ‘another him’ and for him.

Canis lupus i tajemnice ludzkiej duszy. O literackim obrazie wilka na przykładzie wybranych dzieł niemiecko‑ i anglojęzycznych

Author(s): Aneta Jurzysta / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2016

The article is devoted to the literary representation of the wolf, and the texts analysed include Hermann Hesse’s “Steppenwolf” and Mark Rowlands’ “The Philosopher and the Wolf”. In both texts the wolf becomes the mirror in which the man’s inner life is reflected, and the authors search for the answers to existential questions in the wolfish nature. “And so the Steppenwolf had two natures, a human and a wolfish one. This was his fate, and it may well be that it was not a very exceptional one.” Those words of Hermann Hesse refer to the complicated, split personality of the main protagonist and the complex nature of every man. Harry is partly a man, who desires social respect and the comforts of the middle‑class life, and shares human ideas and interests, and partly a wild beast, who mocks these vain and absurd desires, and remains untamed and impulsive. Mark Rowlands’ wolf is not only part of the author’s inner self, but a wild animal, with which the American philosopher spent 11 years of his life. The wolf companion changes completely the man’s way of thinking, becoming an inspiration for philosophical considerations over the nature of love, death, happiness and humanity, the purposefulness of human actions, the sources of despair and hope, the nature of the fear of death. The wolf ’s company makes it possible for Rowlands to find his human nature, makes him eventually become a different person: of partly human and partly wolfish nature. In both cases the wolf (being either part of a man’s personality or a real wild companion) determines the protagonists’ lives and helps them understand themselves.

Prosodic Encoding of Phrasal Prominence and Information Structure in a Second Language: When Bulgarian and German Prosody meet

Author(s): Bistra Andreeva / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2017

This research describes the production of prosodic cues to mark information structure in Bulgarian and German. It compares speech by native (L1) and second language (L2) speakers and investigates prosodic transfer from the L1 to the L2. The results confirm that Bulgarian and German natives use different prosodic cues to mark information status. Comparison of Bulgarian L1 and L2 data reveals that these prosodic differences lead to transfer from the L1 to the L2. To some degree, pitch accents used to mark focus appear to be transferred from the L2 to the L1 as well.

WHAT IT TAKES TO BE AN INTERCULTURAL FOREIGN LANGUAGE PRACTITIONER

Author(s): Elena Savu / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2012

This article aims to find answers to several questions that appear more and more often in the field of foreign languages teaching methodology. On the one hand, one might wonder why teachers, in general, and language teachers, in particular, are supposed to become "intercultural". In this sense, the immediate reality provides very clear answers. Under the pressure of globalization and contemporary cultural diversity, the teaching of foreign languages acquires well-defined intercultural dimensions expressed in the content, curricula, teaching methods and educational objectives which reflect this trend towards internalisation. The teachers are the promoters of these changes and, at the same time, the first “intercultural” models for their students. On the other hand, the intercultural “metamorphosis” of teachers foregrounds two essential aspects: the definition and the awareness of their own motivation in approaching inter-culturalism and, in the same way, the development of an adequate intercultural communication competence. Drawing on the numerous references available in the literature, the article defines the concepts of intercultural motivation and intercultural communication competence by analyzing the relationships between them.

(РА)СТВАРАЊЕ PERSONAE DRAMATIS У МАГБЕТУ ЕЖЕНА ЈОНЕСКА

Author(s): Katarina Z. Milić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 57/2015

Dans ce travail nous offrons les résultats de l’analyse des concepts dramatiques contemporains par rapport au théâtre dit traditionnel, et nous prêtons attention surtout au statut du personnage dramatique, vu que celui-ci est l’un des éléments inévitables dans la structure dramatique. Notre but est de présenter des tendences singulières du théâtre de l’absurde (le degré zéro du théâtre), et plus particulièrement la création des personnages dramatiques en tant que des figures disséminatives, mais aussi d’indiquer leur rôle dans le théâtre contemporain et leur rapport avec les contraintes structurales de celui-ci.
