Abstract The article discusses figurative use of expressions from the domains of INVASION and HOUSE in media discourse on the European migrant crisis. The conceptual metaphors MIGRATION AS AN INVASION and the COMMON EUROPEAN HOUSE, which are inextricably related in the segments of the real discourse on migration, have strong rhetorical power and serve as a means of promoting antimigrant ideologies. The aim of this paper is to identify the instances of deliberate use of the aforementioned metaphors in British and Bosnian-Herzegovinian papers and describe their use in the media with the aim of changing addressees’ perspectives on an important issue such as migration.
摘要:本文探讨了“INVASION”和“HOUSE”两个领域的表达在欧洲移民危机媒体话语中的具象运用。移民作为入侵和欧洲共同之家这两个概念隐喻在现实移民话语中有着千丝万缕的联系,具有强大的修辞力量,是推动反移民意识形态的一种手段。本文的目的是确定在英国和波斯尼亚-黑塞哥维那的论文中故意使用上述隐喻的实例,并描述它们在媒体中的使用,目的是改变收件人对移民等重要问题的看法。

The language of insults: A look at Theme, Rheme and negative inferences 侮辱性语言:主位、述位与否定推论

Abstract This paper examines the thematic structure of a corpus of insults using the inference-boundary model of Theme and Rheme. It focuses on the concept of negative inference—which must be generated for an insult to be successfully delivered—and shows how it allows us to better understand and characterize the form that insults generally take. The analysis suggests that insults are typically structured to generate backward-looking negative inferences from the decoder, much in line with how new information (in this case, the thrust of the insult) is generally located in final position. The paper also proposes a summary statement capturing the general configuration of insults and suggestions for further research.
摘要本文运用主位和述位的推理边界模型研究了侮辱语的主位结构。它侧重于负面推理的概念——要成功地传达侮辱必须产生负面推理——并展示了它如何使我们更好地理解和描述侮辱通常采取的形式。分析表明,侮辱的结构通常是为了从解码器中产生向后看的负面推断,这与新信息(在这种情况下,侮辱的主旨)通常位于最终位置的方式非常一致。本文还提出了一个总结陈述,捕捉侮辱的一般配置和建议,以进一步研究。

Abstract The effect of incidental learning on acquiring the pronunciation of the phoneme /p/ by Arabic-speaking English as foreign language learners was the focus of this study. This phoneme was chosen because it does not exist in the phonemic inventory of Arabic. Eighth graders studying at Al-Ethra’a Secondary School in Alkarak were tested on the pronunciation of words containing /p/ in context (pre-test). For three weeks, they were taught the primary stress of English words containing the target phoneme in their first or second syllable (treatment/incidental learning). The learning exercises consisted of explaining the stress rules and listening to native speakers uttering the words, followed by the participants’ repetition. The students were then re-tested (post-test) to determine whether incidental learning had affected the participants’ pronunciation of /p/. The results reveal that the treatment (incidental learning of /p/) had a positive impact on the participants’ answers on the post-test.
摘要本研究主要探讨了附带学习对阿拉伯语英语学习者习得音素/p/发音的影响。选择这个音素是因为它在阿拉伯语的音素库中不存在。在Alkarak Al-Ethra 'a中学学习的八年级学生接受了在上下文中包含/p/的单词发音测试(预测试)。在三周的时间里,他们被教导在第一或第二音节中包含目标音素的英语单词的主重音(治疗/附带学习)。学习练习包括解释重音规则,听母语人士说出这些单词,然后参与者重复。然后,学生们被重新测试(后测试),以确定偶然学习是否影响了参与者对/p/的发音。结果显示,偶然学习/p/对参与者的后测答案有正向影响。

Abstract Though foreign language anxiety (FLA) has long been recognized as an important affective factor in second language learning, its impact is worth studying in new educational contexts of emergency remote teaching in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. The present study examines the key factors behind FLA in online teaching of English for Specific Purposes (ESP). The research was conducted among a sample of 171 first-year undergraduate university students of Economics & Business economics and Informatics at the Juraj Dobrila University of Pula, Croatia, during the winter semester of 2020/2021. The research instrument used was a 33-item questionnaire adapted from the FLCAS scale (Horwitz et al., 1986) to reflect the online ESP classroom environment. The main results indicate that various background factors, such as gender, self-assessed levels of proficiency, length of learning English and frequency of English language use, significantly influence the reported levels of language anxiety. Furthermore, the study establishes the underlying structure of FLA, with five factors positively correlated with overall language anxiety at the. 01 level of statistical significance: speech anxiety, evaluation and comprehension anxiety, online ESP classroom environment, anxiety of talking to native speakers, and lack of motivation for online class attendance. Finally, multiple regression analysis shows that the five aspects of FLA, alongside the variables of gender and self-assessed pronunciation proficiency, represent statistically significant predictors of the total level of FLA among online ESP learners. The other independent variables are confirmed to be unreliable in predicting the overall level of language anxiety in an online ESP classroom.
摘要外语焦虑是第二语言学习中的重要情感因素,但在新冠肺炎疫情应急远程教学的新教育背景下,外语焦虑的影响值得研究。本研究探讨了在特殊用途英语(ESP)在线教学中FLA背后的关键因素。该研究是在2020/2021年冬季学期期间在克罗地亚普拉的Juraj Dobrila大学经济与商业经济与信息学专业的171名一年级本科生中进行的。使用的研究工具是一份33项的问卷,改编自FLCAS量表(Horwitz et al., 1986),以反映在线ESP课堂环境。主要结果表明,各种背景因素,如性别、自我评估的熟练程度、学习英语的时间长短和使用英语的频率,显著影响报告的语言焦虑水平。此外,本研究建立了FLA的基础结构,其中五个因素与学生整体语言焦虑呈正相关。01水平有统计学意义:言语焦虑、评价和理解焦虑、在线ESP课堂环境、与母语者交谈焦虑、缺乏在线课堂出勤动机。最后,多元回归分析表明,语音亲和性的五个方面,以及性别和自评语音熟练程度等变量,对在线ESP学习者的语音亲和性总水平具有显著的预测意义。其他自变量在预测在线ESP课堂的整体语言焦虑水平时被证实是不可靠的。

Through linguo-stylistic analysis to a new retranslation of the ballad “Hasanaginica“ 通过对民谣《Hasanaginica》新译的语言风格分析

Abstract The new retranslation of the ballad “Hasanaginica” brings about an interpretation grounded in comprehensive scholarly research, which a linguo-stylistic analysis of both its source text (ST) and 25 published (re)translations represent. This retranslation is designed to make a notable difference reflected in its aspiration to achieve optimal equivalence on all levels of expression, minding its metrics, rhythm, sound figures, as much as its lexical choices and syntactic structures. One of the paper’s main aims is to compensate for the linguistic and stylistic flaws recognized in the previous translations of this ballad, which were not always erroneous deviations from a semantic correspondence, but interpretations informed by a fundamental incomprehension of the religio-cultural circumstances shaping the world of the ballad.
摘要叙事诗《哈萨纳吉尼卡》的新译带来了一种基于综合学术研究的解释,这是对其原文(ST)和25个已出版(re)译本的语言风格分析。这种重新翻译的目的是为了在表达的各个层面上实现最优的对等,注意其度量,节奏,音位,以及词汇选择和句法结构。本文的主要目的之一是弥补这首歌谣之前翻译中发现的语言和风格上的缺陷,这些缺陷并不总是与语义对应的错误偏差,而是由于对塑造歌谣世界的宗教文化环境的根本不理解而产生的解释。

Abstract The importance of the English language in a contemporary globalized world leads to borrowing of English words into many languages, including Bosnian. The current research investigates the knowledge of the original English written form and translation of the English-origin youth-related words (anglicisms) among young native speakers of Bosnian. The study included 345 Bosnian and Herzegovinian high school students, both males and females, in 9 cities. The findings revealed that the usage of Anglicisms among Bosnian youth is not so frequent and that young people in Bosnia and Herzegovina are more familiar with the original written forms than with their translation/synonyms in the Bosnian language. Moreover, knowledge of these two forms of anglicisms shows variation only relative to a grade in English, while gender and age were found to be irrelevant. Also, no difference was shown in the knowledge of anglicisms in different fields: sports, fashion, and science and technology. Further research is recommended to study these and other youth-related anglicisms on a larger population sample.
英语在当代全球化世界中的重要性导致许多语言借用英语单词,包括波斯尼亚语。目前的研究调查了母语为波斯尼亚语的年轻人对原始英语书面形式的了解和对英语来源的与青年有关的单词(英语)的翻译。这项研究包括来自9个城市的345名波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那的高中生,男女都有。调查结果显示,波斯尼亚青年并不经常使用英语,波斯尼亚-黑塞哥维那的青年更熟悉英语的原始书面形式,而不熟悉英语的波斯尼亚语翻译/同义词。此外,对这两种英语形式的了解只显示出与英语等级有关的差异,而性别和年龄则无关。此外,在体育、时尚和科技等不同领域,对英语的了解程度也没有差异。建议在更大的人口样本中进一步研究这些和其他与青年有关的英语。

Abstract The quantity of target language input available to learners contributes to the understanding of target language development. The present paper reports on a longitudinal study of the relationship between the amount of non-native teachers’ EFL input and learners’ aural achievement in instructed SLA. Young learners (N=132) were followed over a three-year period. High variability in teacher use of EFL was found. Results of correlational analyses and group comparisons pointed to a longitudinal advantage of participants exposed to instruction dominated by teacher target language use during their first two years of formal EFL learning. Directions for future research on the use of different languages and their relation to learners’ achievement are discussed in the context of early formal foreign language study.
学习者可获得的目的语输入量有助于理解目的语的发展。本文对非母语教师的外语输入量与学习者听觉成就之间的关系进行了纵向研究。年轻的学习者(N=132)被跟踪了三年。教师使用英语的差异很大。相关分析和群体比较的结果表明,在前两年的正式英语学习中,接受以教师目标语言为主的教学的参与者具有纵向优势。在早期正式外语学习的背景下,探讨了不同语言的使用及其与学习者成绩的关系的未来研究方向。

Abstract This study aims to explore the use of euphemistic strategies by Algerians and Americans when dealing with three unpleasant topics: death, lying, and disease. It also examines the effect of degree of formality on the use of euphemistic strategies. To achieve this objective, a discourse completion task (DCT) was distributed to 21 Algerians and 21 Americans. The data were analysed using SPSS. The data analysis revealed that there are some differences and similarities between the two groups. The euphemistic strategies used by the Americans when they deal with death topics are synonyms and part for the whole. The Algerians use part for the whole, overstatement, and synonyms when they deal with death. Regarding the topic of lying, the Americans employ strategies of understatement and deletion, whereas the Algerians use understatement and metaphor. As for the topic of disease, the Americans use vagueness, and the Algerians use vagueness, metaphor, and deletion. These findings reveal that both groups resort to euphemism when dealing with these three unpleasant topics. However, their use of euphemistic strategies is culture-bound.
本研究旨在探讨阿尔及利亚人和美国人在处理三个令人不快的话题:死亡、撒谎和疾病时使用委婉语的策略。本文还探讨了正式程度对委婉语策略使用的影响。为了实现这一目标,对21名阿尔及利亚人和21名美国人进行了话语完成任务(DCT)。数据采用SPSS统计软件进行分析。数据分析显示,两组之间存在一些差异和相似之处。美国人在处理死亡话题时使用的委婉策略是同义词和整体分离。阿尔及利亚人在处理死亡时用部分代替整体、夸大和同义词。对于说谎的话题,美国人采用轻描淡写和删减的策略,而阿尔及利亚人则采用轻描淡写和隐喻的策略。对于疾病的话题,美国人使用模糊,阿尔及利亚人使用模糊、隐喻和删除。这些发现表明,在处理这三个令人不快的话题时,两组人都使用委婉语。然而,他们对委婉语策略的使用是受文化限制的。

Abstract The article is a part of a research project on how intertextuality is perceived by readers of media texts. The focus of the article is on how intertextual references are recognized, interpreted, and substituted by EFL respondents. Based on the results of the survey, conclusions are drawn to address the following research questions – whether respondents can recognize intertextual references as such in the context, whether they can interpret an utterance despite failing to detect intertextual segments, and whether there exists a correspondence between recognizability of an intertextual reference and attempts at defining and/or replacing it. This paper is an attempt to empirically verify theoretical views on intertextuality. The results of the survey provide insights into how intertextuality is perceived by respondents.
摘要本文是媒体文本读者如何感知互文性研究项目的一部分。本文的重点是关于互文引用是如何被英语应答者识别、解释和替代的。根据调查结果,得出结论,以解决以下研究问题-受访者是否能够识别上下文中的互文引用,他们是否能够在未能检测到互文段的情况下解释话语,以及互文引用的可识别性与定义和/或替换它的尝试之间是否存在对应关系。本文试图对互文性的理论观点进行实证验证。调查结果提供了关于受访者如何感知互文性的见解。

This paper is an attempt to empirically verify theoretical views on intertextuality.

Abstract This article measures the syntactic development indices in grade 5-12 English textbooks in Turkey. Through a usage-based construction grammar approach, it argues that the textbooks show an inconsistent development in verb-argument constructions (VAC) and other usage-based indices. The study employs an automatic software tool that detects variations in these indices and runs a statistical analysis on a corpus compiled by the author. Statistically significant results demonstrate that textbooks lack lexicogrammatical variation. As such, learners who use these textbooks are likely to experience a limited array of VACs that are limited in lemma-construction combinations. Findings also indicate that learners may not be exposed to the conventional usage patterns and frequencies of VACs when compared against a reference corpus. These findings may have an influence on the learners’ generalization process, their low-proficiency level in English, and poor idiomatic uses of the language.
摘要本文对土耳其5-12年级英语教材中的句法发展指标进行了测量。通过基于用法的构式语法方法,认为教科书在动词论元构式和其他基于用法的指标方面表现出不一致的发展。本研究采用自动软件工具检测这些指标的变化,并对作者编写的语料库进行统计分析。统计上显著的结果表明教科书缺乏词汇语法变异。因此,使用这些教材的学习者可能只会遇到有限的语料库,而这些语料库在引理结构组合方面也受到限制。研究结果还表明,与参考语料库相比,学习者可能无法接触到VACs的传统使用模式和频率。这些发现可能对学习者的泛化过程、英语水平低下和不习惯使用英语产生影响。
