“To say what you are trying to say”: Douglas Livingstone’s personae in A rosary of bone (1975b & 1983)

This article offers a critical overview of the personae Douglas Livingstone (1932-1996) adopts in two editions of the collection "A rosary of bone". Following a tripartite structure, it deals with the love poems, the translations, and the Giovanni Jacopo poems, arguing that the collection breaks new ground as Livingstone begins to explore new voices and techniques with which to write about his thematic preoccupations. Such personae permit the poet more acerbic, satirical, or even angry stances, with voices not to be found in the earlier volumes of his work, reflecting his persistent determination to evoke the planet’s beauty and its concomitant squalor through the ambiguity and paradoxicality of the truths he uncovers.

This article examines the 1872 proposal by Mori Arinori, the Japanese ambassador to Washington, to make English the national language of Japan.

The Puzzle of Translation Skills. Towards an Integration of E-Learning and Special Concepts of Computational Linguistics into the Training of Future Translators

The objective of this paper is to promote new methods in the computational training of translation students. The authors show that the process of translation is more complex than often supposed but can be successfully supported by electronic tools. The acquisition of advanced skills in the combination of these fields is facilitated by the use of new teaching methods like e-learning and the introduction of special concepts in Computational Linguistics such as evaluation. The paper argues that information management, machine translation (MT) and computer-aided translation (CAT) are of growing importance for the work of today's professional translators, and that evaluation should be systematically integrated into translator training curricula.

The Lexicographic Treatment of Ideophones in Zulu

The ideophone, a word class not unique to but highly characteristic of the Bantu languages, presents particular challenges in both monolingual and bilingual lexicography. Not only is this part of speech without a counterpart in most other languages, the meaning of ideophones is highly elusive. In this research article these challenges are studied by means of an analysis of the treatment of ideophones in a corpus-driven Zulu–English school dictionary project.

The form and function of space in the Jonah narrative in Prudentius Cathemerinon 7.81-175

This article provides a narratological analysis of the structure and function of space in the Jonah story as told by Prudentius in Cathemerinon 7.81-175. The analysis is based on a modification of Gabriel Zoran's theory, investigating narrative space on both the textual and plot levels. The study explores how topographical nature, ontological principles, and perspective shape the narrative's spatial environment, while also examining the synchronic and diachronic relations that define the movement and change within the chronotopos of the story.

The Distribution of the Lexical Component in ELT Coursebooks and its Suitability for Vocabulary Acquisition from a Cognitive Perspective. A Case Study

The paper investigates the distribution of lexical components in ELT coursebooks from a psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic perspective. The author analyzes essential conditions for vocabulary acquisition, including repetitive practice, communicative relevance, and the impact of explicit versus incidental learning. Through a case study, the research evaluates how textbook design—specifically lexical frequency, distribution, and activity types—supports long-term memory formation, proceduralisation, and automatisation. The findings compare existing teaching materials against cognitive research to determine their suitability for effective vocabulary development in language learners.

THE ATTITUDES OF TEACHERS AND STUDENTS TOWARDS USING ARABIC IN EFL CLASSROOMS IN SAUDI PUBLIC SCHOOLS- A CASE STUDY

This paper examined the attitudes of Saudi teachers and students towards employing Arabic as a facilitating tool in English classes, a topic which has gained wide attention recently. The present study was a case study which investigated teachers' and students' attitudes towards this issue in a Saudi intermediate school for females. To reach a clear understanding of this issue, the study focused on one intermediate classroom which had 30 students and three teachers of English in the entire school. Three research tools were used for gathering data: questionnaires, interviews and four observations of one classroom. The results revealed that the attitudes of the teachers and the students about using Arabic were generally positive. The participants preferred using Arabic in certain situations and for specific reasons. Although the attitudes of the teachers and the students received agreements, there were other points on which they disagreed. Recommendations for future studies and solutions were discussed.

Textwahrheit und Übersetzen: Beobachtungen an neueren Bibelübersetzungen

Der Artikel befasst sich mit den neuesten Entwicklungen im Bereich der deutschen Bibelübersetzungen. Ausgehend von einem Vergleich von Textausschnitten aus zehn verschiedenen Übersetzungen des Neuen Testaments werden grundlegende Trends analysiert, die von der christlichen Bildungsarbeit bis hin zur literarischen Neuinterpretation reichen. Die Autorin kritisiert den Fokus auf reine Sprachstrukturen und beleuchtet die hermeneutischen sowie ethischen Implikationen der Übersetzungsarbeit. Dabei wird besonders die Rolle des Übersetzers als Co-Autor und die notwendige Balance zwischen Textnähe und Verständlichkeit für die Adressaten thematisiert, wobei auch Luthers Ansatz und die reformierte Tradition als Referenzpunkte dienen.

Sprachliche und politische Grenzen im (ehemaligen) Dialektkontinuum des Alemannischen am Beispiel der trinationalen Region Basel (Schweiz) in Karten von SprecherInnen

In diesem Artikel wird die subjektive Wahrnehmung von Sprachgrenzen in der trilateralen Region Basel untersucht. Mittels einer experimentellen Methode, bei der Informanten Sprachgrenzen auf Karten einzeichneten, werden Veränderungen im ehemaligen alemannischen Dialektkontinuum im Oberrheingebiet analysiert, die durch Prozesse wie Nationsbildung, Standardisierung und Diglossie beeinflusst wurden. Der Beitrag erörtert, wie linguistische Landschaften wahrgenommen und visualisiert werden, und schlägt eine Typologie linguistischer Karten vor, die von kognitiven bis hin zu geographischen Darstellungen reicht. Dabei wird auch der wissenschaftliche Grenzbegriff im Kontext von Dialektologie und struktureller Sprachwissenschaft kritisch reflektiert.

"S. Cristóvão" de Eça de Queirós

O artigo analisa a figura de São Cristóvão na obra de Eça de Queirós, explorando a integração do homem com a natureza e a profunda influência do franciscanismo na escrita do autor. Através da trajetória do personagem Cristóvão, um ser inicialmente anormal que evolui para uma existência de altruísmo e comunhão com o mundo natural, o texto destaca como Eça de Queirós, em sua maturidade, se afasta do naturalismo estrito em direção a ideais humanistas e espirituais. A análise perpassa obras como Lendas de Santos e as reflexões sobre São Francisco de Assis, evidenciando a busca do autor pela bondade heroica e a compaixão universal, refletindo um período de transição nos debates intelectuais e filosóficos de sua época.
