A Few Guidelines for Productive Translation Studies 
 The paper is based on the concept of “productive Translation Studies”, understood as a science of translation anchored in the present and designed to help both translators and translation scholars. To provide some directions for productive Translation Studies, the paper starts with a diachronic analysis of the discipline. The field acquired its autonomy in the 80s when it was no longer considered a branch of linguistics. Nevertheless, translation scholars have manifested some hesitations in the past and there are aspects to be rectified. To establish the aim and methodology of the discipline, a clear definition of translation (both as a process and as a product) is needed. In addition, the nature of Translation Studies should be discussed: whether they are a scientific field or a branch of humanities and to what extent they are interdisciplinary. This historical overview is also used to discuss the “ages” of Translation Studies, as defined by Jean-René Ladmiral. Thus, prescriptive Translation Studies fix some general principles of a “good” translation and have a theoretical nature; descriptive Translation Studies rely on comparative and contrastive methods, analysing translation as a product; inductive Translation Studies aim at discovering what happens in the translator’s mind and are not developed yet; productive Translation Studies are connected to the reality of the market and provide methodological principles to translators and translation scholars to facilitate their work. In the final part of the paper, the author describes several strategies to be followed by contemporary Translation Studies. One step is to put an end to the scientific hesitations of the past and to have a coherent approach. Then, the debate concerning translation dichotomies (such as the possibility or impossibility of translation, faithfulness, and unfaithfulness in translation, translating form or translating meaning) should be left behind because it is unproductive. Connecting theory and practice and putting in contact with translators and translation scholars is another objective. Translation critics should give up the sacralization of the source text: in fact, any approach should put the translator on center stage to empower him/her. A double approach – psychological and sociological – may be needed to understand the translator’s choices: the psychological approach is based on the Theory of Sense, while the sociological analysis takes into consideration the constraints of the market. New technologies should become a topic of research. Also, translation studies should be rendered into various languages to disseminate new ideas and trends.

The Notion of “Fascination” and “Fascinativity” in Linguistic Poetics Discourse

The study of phenomena that have the potential for verbal persuasive influence on the recipient as well as the identification and development of ways to counteract this influence are the challenges of modern linguistics. Poetry is considered to be one of the most ancient forms of verbal communication. The analysis of the nature of poetic text units provides the key not only to a deeper interpretation of the idea of a particular work but also to the explanation of general linguistic phenomena. The poetic discourse as a linguistic and creative environment regularly activates expressive and figurative potential of language units at different levels. Describing the processes of the grammatical level of poetic language, the terms “fascination” and “fascinativity” are often used. In this paper, the authors refer to the theoretical contributions of representatives of the Kharkiv School of Philology and scholars of other linguistic branches whose works are related to the issues of perception and apperception, and fascinativity of texts. Fascination is considered as an aspect of social communication complementary to information, and fascinativity as an ontological feature of a poetic text that is closely connected with the realisation of the author's supertask. Fascinativity is a basic notion, considered as a specific quality of the text – the ability to “enchant” the reader. Fascinativity is created by the author with the help of linguistic and discursive (in this case, poetic) means and affects the perception of poetry by the recipient. The research findings emphasise that the degree of fascinativity is strongly affected by all the immanent elements of a particular poetic text, the existing discursive practice, and tradition. The study of fascinativity features in a poetic text and fascination as an important aspect of social communication becomes convincing when scholars draw on recent research findings of modern linguists in the field of linguistic poetics. Combination of the communicative and linguistic poetics approaches allows to explain how the mechanism of fascination works in terms of communication and how the fascinativity of a poetic text and discourse is formed.

An Analysis of Speech Act in the Animation Movie: Coco

Linguistic aspects are very important in English. When linguistics became a linguistic science, people studied it in several branches of linguistics, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, semantics, sociolinguistics, and Practical. Speech act is one of the important components of pragmatics because speech act is a branch of pragmatics, related to all types of utterances made by speakers and its meaning depends on the point of view of the speaker. speaker and interlocutor. Speech acts are divided into three types: speech, speech, and speech. As technology advances, more media can support the learning process making it more enjoyable. Like learning by reading novels, watching movies and even listening to songs. This search is an analytical speech act introduced by Searle in Cartoons: Coco. The problem of this research is: what types of speech acts are proposed by the main characters in cartoons: Coco and what is the most dominant speech act among the main characters in cartoons: Coco. This study employed a descriptive qualitative methodology. With the qualitative descriptive method, information is gathered via the use of words and images rather than figures. Interviews, field notes, photos, videotapes, private documents, notes or memos, and other documents can all provide data. The author of this research does a case study, provides a basic description, and goes over the language. Because the study's focus is on natural events or symptoms, the author employs this kind of qualitative research in it. The author of this paper will examine Coco, the cartoon's primary character, through an analysis of her verbal acts. Results of the study is: to explore the type of speech act that the main character proposes in the cartoon: Coco and to find out which speech act is most dominant among the main characters in an animated film: Coco. In this study, the author only focuses on studying one type of linguistic behavior, which is linguistic behavior.

Annotation for computational argumentation analysis: Issues and perspectives

AbstractArgumentation has long been studied in a number of disciplines, including several branches of linguistics. In recent years, computational processing of argumentation has been added to the list, reflecting a general interest from the field of natural language processing (NLP) in building natural language understanding systems for increasingly intricate language phenomena. Computational argumentation analysis – referred to as argumentation mining in the NLP literature – requires large amounts of real‐world text with manually analyzed argumentation. This process is known as annotation in the NLP literature and such annotated datasets are used both as “gold standards” for assessing the quality of NLP applications and as training data for the machine learning algorithms underlying most state of the art approaches to NLP. Argumentation annotation turns out to be complex, both because argumentation can be complex in itself and because it does not come across as a unitary phenomenon in the literature. In this survey we review how argumentation has been studied in other fields, how it has been annotated in NLP and what has been achieved so far. We conclude with describing some important current and future issues to be resolved.

A COGNITIVE STYLISTIC ANALYSIS OF LEWIS CAPALDI'S SONG “SOMEONE YOU LOVED”

Cognitive stylistics is a branch of linguistics that focuses on the study of how language and literature interact with human cognition and mental processes. This study presents a cognitive stylistic analysis of Lewis Capaldi's song "Someone You Loved." This study aims to explore the cognitive processes and stylistic features employed in the song's lyrics. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method by focusing on, highlighting, and analyzing each lyric in the song. The results of this study show the coherence among figures of speech used in the song. In conclusion, this study contributes to understanding how cognitive processes and stylistic choices intertwine in constructing emotional narratives within song lyrics.

Fundamentals of Phonology: Understanding the Sounds of a Language in Simple Ways

Phonology is a branch of linguistics that studies the sound system of language. Although it is a complex field, a basic understanding of phonology can help individuals understand and analyze simple language sounds. This abstract aims to present a brief description of the basics of phonology and the importance of understanding phonological principles in linguistic studies. We explore basic concepts such as phonemes, allophones, and phonological rules in forming the sound system of a language. In this abstract, we also underscore the importance of phonology in language teaching and learning. Phonological understanding can help language learners recognize and distinguish similar sounds with different meanings. Through an emphasis on a simplistic approach, this abstract provides a basic understanding that could be used as a foundation for those interested in studying phonology without engaging in complex empirical research. This research was based on a comprehensive literature review of the foundations of phonology. This approach does not involve empirical research or the collection of new primary data but gathers information from relevant secondary sources such as textbooks, academic journals, online articles, and other trusted sources.

Hubungan antara Keterampilan Literasi Awal dengan Kemampuan Bahasa Pragmatik pada Anak Umur Prasekolah di Taman Kanak-Kanak Marsudirini Surakarta

ABSTRACT
 Background: In 2018, Indonesia is still faced with child development problems. There are around 56.34% of preschoolers experiencing delays in developments such as reading and writing. The development of literacy is important to pay attention to and in early childhood development, language really needs to be developed considering the importance of language for all of us. Viewed from the aspect of language, pragmatics is the highest stage of language, pragmatics is a branch of linguistics that discusses what is included in the structure of language as a means of communication between speakers and listeners. Objective: This research aims to find out the correlation between early literacy skills and pragmatic language skills in preschool-aged children in TK Marsudirini Surakarta. Method: The type of research used is quantitative. The research design to be used is a correlational study. The sampling technique that will be used in this research is purposive sampling. The number of samples that have been used in this research were 30 respondents. Result: The results showed that 6 respondents (20%) were in the early literacy skills category, the sufficient category was 11 respondents (36.7%), and the good category was 13 respondents (43.3%). Respondents in pragmatic language skills in the unable category were 14 respondents (46.7%) and in the able category were 16 respondents (53.3%). Bivariate analysis used the Spearman Rank statistical test with a ???? value of 0.001 and a correlation coefficient of 0.732. This shows that the direction of the correlation between the two variables is positive, which means that if one variable increases, the other variable will develop. Conclusion: There is a correlation between early literacy skills and pragmatic language skills in preschool-aged children in TK Marsudirini Surakarta with a strong correlation strength.

Comparative Linguistics of Meknasi and Er-Rissani Dialects: Phonological, Morphological, and Socio-Cultural Dimensions in Moroccan Arabic Varieties

Purpose: The study delves into the intricate realm of language and its regional variations, a topic widely explored across multiple linguistic branches, including sociolinguistics, phonetics, socio-cultural, and applied linguistics. Each of these branches brings forth a unique perspective, defining regional variation tailored to its specific theoretical framework. Typically, general descriptions of languages prioritize the standard variety in terms of pronunciation or vocabulary, but this does not necessarily rank it above other varieties. It is pivotal to understand the distinction between regional dialects, which differentiate residents of one region from another, and social dialects that align with specific social groups. Dialect geographers have endeavored to visually represent these linguistic nuances through 'dialect atlases,' employing 'isoglosses' to demarcate the geographical distribution of linguistic features. An exemplar distinction is evident between the Meknes community's use of the word /qal/ and Errachidia Province's use of /gal/. Methodology: To elucidate the methodological framework of this study, a qualitative approach was employed, primarily through interviews, which were chosen based on their high acceptance within the local communities. This approach not only bolstered the reliability of the data gathered but also aligned with the nature of our linguistic inquiry. Findings: The study finds that examining the broader linguistic practices of the Meknasi and Er-Rissani populations, especially in social interactions, offers insights into the underlying reasons for these linguistic disparities. Crucially, factors such as ethnic background, an individual's social and familial lineage, and the surrounding environment play significant roles in shaping linguistic choices, be it in Amazigh, Arabic, or southern Arabic dialects. This study further underscores the influence of modern and traditional environments on word selection.

Social indexicality and L2 speech development

The propensity to see language as a construction that provides social cues has great implications for both societal structure and human psychological processes, including first and second language development and attrition. In this regard, social indexicality, for instance, has been shown to play a crucial role in L2 speech development. Even though some branches of linguistics embrace social indexicality in their machinery and predictions (e.g., sociolinguistics, sociophonetics), the addition of social variables in the area of Second Language Acquisition (SLA) and in Psycholinguistics might be seen as recent and limited. Considering that psycholinguistics should start including social indexicality when addressing language learning, this theoretical research article aims at exploring and drawing attention to the relationship between psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics with regard to L2 speech development. In order to do so, it provides an outline of the research agenda of L2 speech development as situated in psycholinguistics. It then discusses the role of social indexicality in bilingual development. Finally, the article advocates the Complex Dynamic Systems Theory (CDST) as a fruitful paradigm to anchor such an interface, since it includes both cognitive and social aspects in its core.

تحليل البنيوية في الشعر "سلام عليكم" لأنيس شوشان (دراسة تحليلية نقدية)

Semiotics is a branch of linguistics that is important to be studied by students of knowledge in the world. and in one of its theories is structuralism. However, in this study the researcher tried to use the semiotic structuralism theory using a literary criticism approach. the object of research is Arabic literary works, namely poetry by "Anies Syusyan", the purpose of this research to determine of intrinsic elements in the poem "salamun alaikum" by Anies Syusyan, as well as apply literary criticism about the advantages and disadvantages, as well as the quality of the poem "salamun alaikum" by Anies Syusyan. This research is a type of qualitative research, and researcher apply the documentation method in collecting data in this research. Researcher used a descriptive approach and literary criticism to analyze the data in this research. the results of this research are that the intrinsic elements contained in the poem "salamun alaikum" by Anies Syusyan is 6 of the totals. Researcher find the main idea or ideas, feelings or emotions, imagination, style of language, rhyme, and the interrelationships between intrinsic elements. Then, find two strengths and two weaknesses related to intrinsic elements, and determine the reasons to answer the quality of this poem related to intrinsic elements.

Analysis of Derivational Affixes in “Sempiternal” Album by Bring Me The Horizon

This study focuses on the analysis of derivational affixes in the lyrics of the album "Sempiternal" by Bring Me The Horizon. Morphology, a branch of linguistics, examines the study of word formation and the creation of new words in different languages. The research aims to identify and classify the types of derivational affixes used in the album. The study adopts a descriptive qualitative method, and the data collection involves searching for song lyrics, reading and noting down words with affixes, and selecting relevant data. The findings reveal the presence of both prefixes and suffixes in the album, with a total of 162 derivational affixes.

What can the stories of a frog tell us about motion event description in Gulf Pidgin Arabic?

AbstractMotion event description has received little attention in contact linguistics as compared to other branches of linguistics. To address this gap, I provide an overview of the grammatical and lexical resources for the encoding of motion events in Gulf Pidgin Arabic (GPA). 10 GPA speakers narrated the story of a boy, his dog, and his missing pet frog. The results revealed: (a) the participants used a relatively large number of path verbs and a comprehensive number of spatial particles; (b) they showed an overwhelming aversion to the description of manner in boundary-crossing and caused motion situations; and (c) they engineered coercive constructions to deal with semantically complex situations. Taken together, the linguistic evidence suggests GPA is developing into a verb-framed language type. This study adds a significant methodological and empirical weight to the existing literature and has the potential to encourage intra- and inter-disciplinary comparative work on motion event description.

The Eastman transcripts: A case study calling Australian linguists to action against legal misconceptions about language in forensic evidence

ABSTRACT This paper presents a new case study examining the use of police transcripts to assist the court in understanding poor-quality forensic audio admitted as evidence in criminal trials. The 1995 trial it studies was the first major Australian case to include extensive expert opinions about police transcripts provided by the prosecution. Despite the fact that experts on both sides noted serious problems with the police transcripts, the judge allowed them to assist the jury, with the expert opinions offered as (ineffectual) subsequent commentary. The legal procedures the judge used in doing this were upheld on appeal, and have been followed ever since as a model for judges admitting opinions of both police and experts. The paper demonstrates how these procedures (unintentionally) privileged the opinions of police “ad hoc” experts over those of genuine experts, enabling the erroneous transcripts to influence not only the 1995 verdict, but a 1997 appeal and a 2014 inquiry. Analysis reveals the reason for these anomalies as the fact that the procedures incorporate misconceptions about spoken language and its representation in a transcript, which, though they have been thoroughly refuted by linguistic science over many decades, remain deeply embedded in the “common knowledge” accepted by wider society – including powerful institutions such as the law. The paper ends by calling on Australian linguists to find effective ways to address the misconceptions that affect the legal handling of forensic audio, by building further on the success of other branches of forensic linguistics in seeking direct engagement with the judiciary outside the trial process. The first step in achieving this is for linguists to gain a thorough understanding of how the legal procedures for handling poor-quality forensic audio operate, both in principle and in practice. The aim of the present paper is to contribute to that understanding.

Training of translators and implementation of ai in the educational process: challenges and prospects

The view of the science of translation as an applied branch of linguistics, which developed in the middle of the last century at the stage of formation of this scientific discipline, does not correspond to the current state of scientific knowledge of translation, which can only be transdisciplinary. Given that currently, the training of translation personnel is carried out mainly by teachers of foreign languages who do not have the necessary understanding of translation activity and the differences between linguistic didactics and translation didactics, it is also important to develop professional retraining programs in educational institutions with a pedagogical or philological focus. Thus, today the professional training of a translator, which already competes, so far successfully, with AI, poses many pressing questions to the scientific and pedagogical community, the solution of which cannot be delayed: how many translators will be needed in the digital space; with what competencies and cognitive abilities; For which fields of activity and with which language combinations; what will be the nature of human interaction with artificial intelligence; will the translation remain as we are used to imagine it today. All these and many other questions of a futuristic plan are necessarily faced by those who are entrusted by society to prepare translators for the digital age because those who come to master the speciality of translator today will enter the labour market only in 4-6 years when AI reaches such a level of abilities, which is difficult to predict today.

Сoncept of POLITENESS in comparison of Russian and German language cultures

Axiological linguistics is a branch of linguistics that studies ways of expressing the speaker's assessment of the object of utterance, options for classifying assessments, as well as determining general cultural and nationally marked values through language analysis. Evaluation, according to the definition of N.D. Arutyunova, is a special cognitive act, as a result of which the attitude of the subject to the object being evaluated is established in order to determine its significance in the life and activity of the subject. Evaluation activity can be determined not only by philosophical attitudes, but also by the commonality of subjective and objective factors – moral norms, social practice, value orientations, level of education. Therefore, within the framework of the definition of the axiological aspect, the speaker, with the help of language and certain linguistic elements, can transmit, in addition to the information message as such, also his own evaluative connotation in relation to the object of the utterance. Concepts, as linguistic signs of the reflection of the picture of the world in the mind of the subject, fix the meanings inherent in this culture. The study of the semantic potential of the corresponding concepts leads us to the study of value-significant concepts and cultural dominants in the language. The purpose of this article is to study politeness as a significant concept of Russian and German language cultures. Now the phenomenon of polite is being rethought in both cultures.

Perbandingan Fonologi Pada Bahasa Indonesia Dan Bahasa Jepang

Phonology is a branch of linguistics that studies the sound system of language and examines the rules that regulate the use of language sounds based on their characteristics, such as articulation, frequency, duration, and intensity. This research discusses "Phonological Differences in Indonesian and Japanese." The aim of this research is to obtain data and information about the differences in phonology between Indonesian and Japanese. The research method used is a literature study by collecting scientific articles and journals from various relevant sources as material for comparative analysis between the phonological systems of Indonesian and Japanese. The findings of this research indicate that there are significant differences between the phonologies of Indonesian and Japanese. The implication of this research is that it is important to understand the differences in Indonesian and Japanese phonology, which can provide benefits in teaching and learning both languages in the future.

Neologisms of the COVID-19 Pandemic Period in the Modern British Press

This article analyzes the concept of "neologism", determines its linguistic and stylistic function, systematizes and analyzes the features of the use of neologisms of the COVID 19 pandemic period in well-known British periodi-cals on the example of specific articles. Since the media describe phenomena and events that are characteristic of a certain time, the greatest number of neologisms appears in the press. The analysis of neologisms in the framework of this study is based on the classification of L. V. Sheveleva, according to which neologisms are divided into three groups: neologisms proper, lexical neoplasms, semantic neologisms.The relevance of the topic of this study is due to the fact that new words appear in the language constantly, at all stages of its existence, especially during the period of social upheavals, the rapid pace of development of society, and the question of their systematization is of particular importance. The purpose of this study is to identify and ana-lyze new lexical units that emerged in modern English during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to establish their linguistic and stylistic function in the process of forming a new lexical layer of the English language.As a result of the study, the author came to the conclusion that most of the neologisms in the British press of the COVID-19 period are lexical neoplasms. Most of the lexemes that have been analyzed have a nominative func-tion. Only the phrases Corona Mutant and Corona Winter perform an expressive function, and the phrases Booster campaign and The beginning of the pandemic – the function of attracting attention.The methodological basis of this study was the method of semantic analysis, the method of continuous sam-pling, the method of linguistic description (interpretation and generalization of the analyzed material), comparative analysis, linguistic and statistical analysis.The systematized material proposed by the author of the article can be used in pedagogical and scientific activ-ities in the field of such branches of linguistics as neology, linguistic terminology, derivatology.

Colloquiality as a concept of the history of language

Speech phenomena have long been the object of consideration in the history of literary language. They were interpreted as phenomena of vernacular speech, since the subject of this branch of linguistics is the study of the ways of formation of literary language against the background of interaction with spoken language, which has areal and social differentiation. The need to use the terms vernacular language, vernacular element, vernacular style disappeared due to two factors: 1) the researchers linked these concepts with a certain abstract model in the general picture of the history of the literary language, the formation of the Ukrainian literary language based on written sources and the influence of the language of folklore; 2) in stylistics, a colloquial (colloquial and everyday) style of literary language was distinguished, which is based on oral colloquial everyday language with territorial and social variants. The purpose of the article is to describe the relationship between the functional and stylistic category "vernacular" and the historical-linguistic concept "vernacular". Materials and methods. The use of the term "eloquence" in modern linguistic stylistics is interpreted through the use of methods of analysis, synthesis and generalization of scientific theories. Conclusions. Colloquiality is a category that unites units of literary and non-literary oral conversational and everyday sphere of use in their stylistic function (nominative, emotional-expressive, socio-cultural and communicative-pragmatic). The appearance of language units with a colloquial register in this or that micro-context is motivated by the writer's artistic intention, the chosen theme of the work, stylized communicative situations in which it unfolds.

Hubungan Kekerabatan Bahasa Jawa Dan Bahasa Melayu (Kajian Linguistik Historis Komparatif)

Language as a means of human communication has become one of the interesting studies from time to time considering that language is dynamic. The science that studies language is linguistics, in which between branches of linguistics there is comparative historical linguistics. This study aims to describe how comparative linguistic studies are between Javanese regional languages and Malay regional languages. This research uses descriptive qualitative and quantitative methods. Qualitatively it functions to collect data and analyze it both orally and in writing, while quantitatively to get comparisons and the number of percentages between language kinships obtained by using lexicostatistics techniques. The data source for this research is a Pontianak Malay language text entitled Bawang Merah and Bawang Puteh . The steps taken to determine language kinship are: (1) determine the basic vocabulary of Bawang Merah and Bawang Puteh folklore, (2) determine the pairs of the two languages, (3) determine the time of separation and age of language kinship. Based on the results of the analysis, Javanese and Malay were the only languages between 2325 – 1845 years ago. Javanese and Malay languages separated into a proto language between 302 - 178 AD (calculated by 2023).

Exploring The Phonological Words And Syllable Analysis

This article discusses phonology and syllables in the context of language. Phonology is a branch of linguistics that studies the sounds in language and the way they are organized, whereas syllables are the basic units in spoken language that form the basic structure of words. In this article, we explore the phonological words and syllable analysis, and the importance of understanding these concepts. In the phonological world, sounds in a language are categorized based on phonological characteristics such as voicing, place and manner of pronunciation, and others. This helps us understand how sounds are organized and combined in language to form meaningful meanings. In addition, the study of phonological worlds helps identify similarities and differences between languages ??and understand the basic structure of sounds in a given language. The syllable, as the core unit in spoken language, consists of the onset, nucleus, and coda. Syllable analysis helps us understand patterns and rules in the formation of words as well as the rhythm and phonotactics of language. In syllable analysis, we separate words into syllables and study the common syllable structures in that language. An understanding of syllables also has practical implications in language learning, speech therapy, and teaching language skills. Phonological and syllable analysis methods involve identifying the sounds of a language, analyzing syllable structures, and a comparative approach to comparison with other languages. Understanding these concepts is important in gaining a broader understanding of sound systems in language and how they affect human communication. Thus, this article illustrates the importance of phonological and syllable studies in understanding language structure, highlights the analytical methods used, and demonstrates implications and practical application of this knowledge in the context of language learning, speech therapy, and teaching language skills.
