Cawelti’s theory of formulas for understanding the relationship between a work and its culture, this article looks at two of Colleen Hoover’s novels, Reminders of Him and It Ends with Us, in order to comprehend Hoover’s appeal to the public.The popularity of romance novels formula indicates a high interest of the American public in the topic of romantic relationships, and it touches a sensitive nerve existent in American culture.

Abstract The paper studies the language of sadness in English on a corpus of conventional expressions and aims at investigating the choice of prepositions combined with a number of sadness terms (e.g. sad about his failure, unhappy at his misfortunate, depressed by the news, sorry for being late). The paper finds that the prepositional phrases name the causes triggering sadness and there are correlations between the prepositions about, at, by, for and over and the types of causes combined together, which can be explained the metaphorical meanings of the prepositions.
摘 要 本文在常规表达的语料库中研究了英语中的悲伤语言，旨在调查介词的选择与一些悲伤词语（如为他的失败而悲伤、为他的不幸而不高兴、为新闻而沮丧、为迟到而抱歉）的结合。论文发现，介词短语说出了引发悲伤的原因，介词 about、at、by、for 和 over 与原因类型组合在一起存在相关性，这可以解释为介词的隐喻意义。

Abstract American Performance poetry influenced the way in which the practice developed in other countries. Contemporary African, Japanese, and Arab poets started to write more and more for the stage. Eastern Europe seems to have been highly influenced by this practice. In this paper, I will try to investigate how American Performance poetry managed to influence the Romanian Spoken Word scene.

Abstract The maritime sector is pivotal for the economic growth of coastal cities like Cádiz, Spain. In our globalised world, ports face high competitiveness, emphasising the growing need for English-proficient staff. This research focuses on the Port Authority of Cádiz Bay’s language-training programme, aiming to enhance employees’ English proficiency for job excellence. Through a qualitative study, the paper not only analyses the current programme but also proposes an alternative linguistic training approach. The ultimate objective is to equip port workers with language skills that contribute to providing excellent services to users, addressing the evolving demands of the maritime industry.

Abstract Aspectualizers as verbs indicating phases in the development of events are typically divided into ingressive (denoting beginning), continuative (denoting continuation) and egressive (denoting ending). These verbs require specific complementation with the lexical verbs which are paired with the aspectualizers. Their analysis starts from the features of such complementation in English (subordinate non-finite infinitival and participial clauses) and compares them with the features of their Romanian translation equivalents. This corpus-based research (with the examples from modern British novels) focuses on the structural characteristics of the complementation in the two languages, lexical aspect of the verbs in the complementation (activities, states, accomplishments, achievements), as well as similarities and differences between the two languages in that respect.

Abstract Racial integration, reconciliation, and interracial culture have presented difficulties within churches, often seen as intractable problems. Situated in racialised America, the churches have to counter the social/context, which members are born into and are thus prone to reproducing in their interracial encounters. Fostering a balanced ethical remembering can help conceive the self in terms of the other to negotiate mutually acceptable identities.

Abstract The travel guidebooks emerged in the nineteenth century as a genre which apparently featured an objective source of information; yet, the guidebooks to India stemmed from the publishers’ own interpretation of the Orient, shaped by the Orientalist discourse of the time, as well as from their business interests, closely linked to the state apparatus. This paper will focus on the relation between tourism and the British Empire, and the role played by the early guidebooks in English, edited by John Murray and Thomas Cook, in the colonial endeavour to control all forms of indigenous knowledge.

Abstract The paper details on the use of TED video-based material as a didactic tool in developing subtitling skills in university students. Focus is laid on the training of language specialists in audiovisual translation courses taught at G.E. Palade UMPhST of Targu Mures, with a triggered civic engagement by means of taking part in a community subtitling project while contributing to making “ideas worth spreading” accessible to viewership.
