DEFINING PEDAGOGICAL CONCEPTS

Author(s): Daniela Maria Șerban / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 32/2023

The concern of specialists and linguists regarding the study of terminologies has developed in the last decades of the 20th century. Theoretical and practical researches indicate the existence of concerns regarding this field, both internationally and nationally. The establishment of unitary terminological system in order to value the particularities of scientific language, in a broad sense, the interest regarding the relationship between linguistic and terminology represents only a few areas of this domain. The role of pedagogy in cultural development as well as the importance given to this field justifies our interest in this theme, moreover is also the reason of sustaining the relevance as well as the actuality of the recommended approaches of the research. I took into consideration the inner perspective of the approach regarding terminology based on the theory of Maria Teresa Cabré, Angela Bidu-Vrănceanu, firmly convinced of the fact that in an extensive research the dimension of the specialized lexis cannot be ignored. Regarding the scientific approach of my dissertation I highlighted the identification of specific features of the general lexis in the domain of pedagogy, the elements that define the lexical semantic area, extended analysis of the lexical and functional features of the pedagogical terminology. In this context we research the relationship between the common and specialized lexis with the aim of identifying the features of terminology in the field of pedagogy. One of our concerns was to point out the interdisciplinary character of the lexis regarding pedagogy, integrating lexical elements from different scientific domains as well as comparative identification of the relevant features of specialized meanings in pedagogy.

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.

FROM HUMOR TO SUBTLETY: USING IDIOMS IN THE PRESS TO CAPTIVATE READERS

Author(s): Mădălina TOADER / Language(s): French Issue: 33/2023

This scientific article examines the use of idiomatic expressions in the press as a means to captivate readers. Idiomatic expressions are phrases or linguistic constructions specific to a given language, whose meaning cannot be understood literally. They add a humorous, subtle, and lively dimension to press articles, thereby attracting and retaining readers' attention. In this article, we explore how journalists use these expressions to create catchy headlines and impactful formulations, and we analyze the different nuances of humor and subtlety they convey. We also study the impact of these idiomatic expressions on how readers perceive and interpret the information presented in the articles. By using concrete examples from the press, we highlight the importance of appropriately using idiomatic expressions to arouse readers' interest and engagement.

PERSONAL DEICTICS IN CURRENT ROMANIAN ADVERTISING DISCOURSE

Author(s): Mădălina Chirilă / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 33/2023

Personal deictics are primarily used in current Romanian advertising discourse to refer to the receiver of the advertising message, with the aim of creating a stronger and more personal connection with the target audience, making them feel directly involved in the advertising message. The direct and individual address induces a sense of closeness and personal engagement by establishing a more intimate and authentic relationship between the brand and the consumer. This can positively influence the audience's perception of the promoted product or service and encourage a favorable response. It's important to note that the use of personal deictics may vary depending on the brand's communication strategy and target audience. Some advertising campaigns may deliberately employ personal deictics to directly and individually address consumers, while others may adopt a more general and impersonal style.

Interactive metadiscourse in dentistry research articles: Iranian vs non-Iranian academic writers

Author(s): Mohsen Khedri,Elham Basirat / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

Linguistically, interactive metadiscourse devices are responsible for creating an unfolding and persuasive piece of writing. They help writers come up with a cohesive and reader- friendly text and highlight how they control the interactive meaning. This corpus-driven study is an attempt to explore the use of interactive metadiscourse markers in English dentistry research articles published in International ISI-indexed and Iranian local research-based journals. The aim was to see if interactive resources, as realized by rhetorical options, such as transitions, code glosses, endophoric markers, evidentials, and frame markers, are predisposed to discipline-specific rhetorical conventions. To this end, fourty dentistry research articles were analyzed using Hyland’s (2005) Interpersonal Model of Metadiscourse. The results disclosed similarities and differences in both the frequency and use of interactive resources between the two sets of research articles. The present results are expected to extend our understanding of authorial preferences for the use of metadiscourse markers in tandem with discourse functions in research articles in the selected discipline. The results of such studies may also improve different features of language pedagogy, such as teaching and learning academic writing, namely research articles.

Request strategies and modification devices as performed by Czech EFL learners: a focus on borrowing objects

Author(s): Věra Sládková,Marie Lahodová Vališová / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

This study presents an analysis of informal written requests from the national school-leaving exam and simulated spoken requests collected via Written Discourse Completion Task (WDCT) to describe pragmalinguistic features used by Czech EFL learners in requests for borrowing objects. In both types of data, the findings reveal strong preference for conventionally indirect strategies and external modification, but considerable underuse of softeners within head acts. The written requests show significant reiteration with a great deal of modification devices outside head acts and a higher proportion of face-threatening features, such as expectations and direct strategies realized by want statements and imperatives. The WDCT requests tend to employ more face-saving strategies but show less variability in request realization. Consequently, awareness raising activities, helping Czech EFL learners fully understand the face-threatening nature of requests, as well as explicit metapragmatic treatment, focusing on strategic use of requests constituents, are recommended.

DISCURSIVE DEICTIC ELEMENTS IN RELIGIOUS DISCOURSE

Author(s): Alice-Iuliana Roșu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 34/2023

This corpus-based approach aims at identifying and analyzing the typology, structure and role of discursive person deictic (indexical) elements in conveying an oral message in different communicative religious contexts. The latter ones are characterized by specific data of enunciation and they correspond to some distinct discursive genres of the orthodox religious discourse from the functional point of view: religious lectures and lessons, occasional sermons, homilies, exhortations, paraeneses, etc. Having in view that deixis is one of the most important aspects of discourse pragmatic structure, the present study emphasizes that the enunciation elements find their reference by relating themselves to the real data of the situation of communication.

THE STYLISTIC ROLE OF THE EPITHET IN 19TH CENTURY TRAVEL TEXTS

Author(s): Gabriela Comănescu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 34/2023

In the travel texts of the 19th century, the epithet is the figure of speech best represented, having an important role due to its linguistic features. Adjective, substantive or adverbial determination, the epithet brings extra expressiveness to the travel texts through the prism of its role as an element-component of nominal phrases, a mark of the specific description of these writings. It is a powerful literary tool that allows travel writers to create detailed and vivid images that are unforgettable for their readers. In this paper, we propose to present the expressive role of different types of epithets, classified under grammatical, stylistic and semantic aspects, extracted from 18 travel writings from the 19th century, also highlighting their ability to add depth and complexity to the evoked images.

Scytyjskie zoonimy w leksykonie Hesychiosa

Author(s): Krzysztof Tomasz Witczak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2023

The article discusses seven Scythian glosses preserved in the lexicon of Hesychius of Alexandria (5th–6th AD), which refer to the domesticated animals or the East European wild fauna. Four among the analysed zoonyms have a confirmed Scythian origin (explicitly indicated by the Greek lexicographer), whereas two (ἀρανίς · ἔλαφος “aranis – deer”; γοῖτα· οἶς “goita – sheep”) are attributed to the Scythian vocabulary based on a reasonable conjecture. The seventh gloss concerns a typical Scythian drink obtained from a mare’s milk. A meticulous analysis of lexical data makes it possible to determine clearly the etymology of three Scythian names for domesticated animals, namely sheep, dog and mare, cf. Scyth. γοῖτα ‘sheep’ (< Iran. *gaiθā- ‘flock of sheep’); Scyth. παγαίη ‘dog’ (< *spakai ̯ā- ← Iran. *śaka- m. ‘dog’); Gk. ἱππάκη f. ‘mare’s milk drink’ (← Scyth. *appākā ← Scyth. *appā- f. ‘mare’ < *aspā- < Iran. *aśā- f. ‘id.’). Additionally, Hesychius of Alexandria noted four Scythian terms for wild animals, namely reindeer (or moose), deer, swan and locust, cf. Scyth. τάρανδος ‘reindeer or moose’ (← Finno-Ugric *ćar/ań/ta ‘reindeer / moose’); Scyth. ἀρανίς ‘deer, stag’ (< Iran. *araniš, cf. Lith. elenìs, élnis ‘deer’); Scyth. ἄγλυ ‘swan’ (< Iran. *madgu- ‘a species of water bird’); Scyth. ἀδιγόρ ‘locust’ (< Iran. *atahī-gar/a/-, originally ‘devouring the grass’).

Наименования местных албанских сортов винограда

Author(s): Marina V. Domosiletskaya,Alexander A. Novik / Language(s): Russian Issue: 2/2023

The origin of the names of indigenous Albanian grape varieties is the aim of this work. In total, about 40 ampelonyms were collected and studied. Most of them are original – a. clearly motivated: Korrithi (July), Dimerak (winter), Manakuq (red mulberry) and many others; b. based on Albanian toponyms: Durrsaku, Kallmet, Muzhaku, Sinabel and others. About a third of the Albanian ampelonyms are borrowings and are due to the contacts with the neighbouring ethnic groups: Debina (Greek), Mavrud (Greek/Slavic), Dimjat, Mereshnik, Tajka, Vranak (Slavic), Qelibar, Jediveren (Turkish), Serinё (Turkish/Greek), Rozё (Italian). To emphasize the relatively late penetration of the grape variety, xenonomination (Stambolleshë) can be used.
