A supportive climate may protect employees’ wellbeing from negative humour events:

Author(s): Ana Junça Silva,Antonio Caetano,Rita Rueff Lope / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2022

This study investigated: (a) the mediating role of affect between humour events and wellbeing at work and (b) the moderating role of psychological work climate in the indirect relationship between humour events and well-being at work, via affect. The moderated mediation model was tested through a study with 93 full-time employees. We used regressions and bootstrapping analyses to test the moderated mediation model. The findings indicated a significant association between humour events and well-being at work with affect as a mediator. Moreover, psychological work climate was found to significantly moderate the indirect relationship between humour events and well-being at work via affect, such that it become stronger when individuals were in a positive psychological work climate. This paper adds considerable evidence of the relationship between humour-related events and their impact on individuals’ well-being. Psychological work climate strengthens the association between affect and well-being after humour events.

Социално-личностни фактори определящи речевото поведение в японските студентски групи

Author(s): Anton Andreev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2009

The article discusses social and personal factors which determine the choice of honorific forms in Japanese university clubs. Analysis is based on questionnaire data. The results imply a certain hierarchy of social and personal factors, as well as the existence of group specific and activity-specific patterns. The most important factor which determines honorific choice is addressee’s in-group history, followed by psychological closeness of both communicators, and addressee’s sex (with only a minimum influence). Culture-activity groups show a more complicated factor-output pattern as compared to athletic groups.

Meaning-construction in everyday bilingualism. On the language attitudes of Hungarian-speaking youth in Romania

Author(s): Erika-Mária Tódor,Enikő Tankó / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

In our presentation we will examine the diversity of linguistic attitudes of Hungarian speakers in Romania. Although there are several definitions for this concept from psychology and linguistics, linguistic attitudes are generally understood as the value judgments and attitudes that individuals form on the basis of their language socialization, language use and learning experience, in relation to languages, language varieties and language expressions. In our present research, we wanted to find out the speakers’ value judgments about the phenomenon of using Romanian and/or English loanwords in their everyday Hungarian communication. In our research paradigm we adopted a case-oriented, inductive, data-focused research towards which we applied a mixed approach: the data was collected through a questionnaire, then the focus group discussion highlighted the criteria respondents used in their value judgment, as well as their opinions about loanwords adopted from the two languages. The conversations also indirectly shed light on the way in which a minority community relates to the languages active in its linguistic environment.

LATIN APHORISMS AND PHRASES: VALUES AND PRINCIPLES

Author(s): Eugenia Mincu,Dorina Macovei,Natalia Rotari,Cristina Negru / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 28/2022

Some researchers name Latin a "dead language" which saves the living. However, we consider the phrase a dead language to be untrue, because the perpetuation of the Latin language is demonstrated and ensured, first of all, by Latin aphorisms and phrases, which reflect human existential values and assume the role of Genus Universalis. This article proposes the analysis of Latin aphorisms and phrases from the three-dimensionality perspective: ontology, gnoseology and deontology. At the same time, criteria for classifying Latin aphorisms and phrases are proposed.

Zaburzenie ze spektrum autyzmu w warunkach dwujęzyczności. Przegląd badań

Author(s): Rafał Młyński,Elżbieta Sadowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 11/2023

In their article, Rafał Młyński and Elżbieta Sadowska examine the broad problem of communication disorders in the context of childhood bilingualism and, in particular, research on the autism spectrum disorder (ASD). They give an overview of topics related to ASD in the context of bilingualism as addressed by researchers in international and Polish publications and examine their theoretical and practical implications. They used the thus collected literature on the subject to formulate postulates useful for further Polish research on the communication of bilingual children with autism spectrum disorders. The most important of them is raising awareness that children with autism spectrum can grow up in a bilingual environment and depriving them of their heritage language can have many negative consequences.

MIXED COUPLES, BILINGUAL CHILDREN – BILINGUALISM IN THE FAMILY, IDENTITY AND CULTURAL ISSUES

Author(s): Simona GRIGORAȘ / Language(s): French Issue: 32/2023

Bilingualism is still at the heart of the debates; we define several types (early, simultaneous, consecutive, late, compound, additive, neutral, subtractive) and we begin to agree that a perfect mastery of both languages is not possible. The bilingual child or adult benefits from these advantages, but he must also overcome the disadvantages of his status. The family has an important role in the transmission of a language; it is necessary the will of the parents, especially the mothers, and rules inside the house for the use of the codes are needed. The parents use real language strategies. Bilingualism has consequences on the identity and cultural level, because words are linked to our intimate existence and our personal history. At the social level, the principle “one language, one people” has not always imposed itself; today there are still differences between the different linguistic communities that coexist, because language is not only a tool of communication, but also a vision of the world, an image of oneself, an object to be defended. Despite the language policies of the European Commission, national education systems are less prepared for linguistic diversity. In a still standardizing society, bicultural identity seems to have become a reality that should be accepted as enriching, without attaching negative representations to it.
