The paper examines the animal symbolism in the Hausa Songs of Sa’idu Faru; limiting itself to two songs: Gwabron giwa uban galadima ɗan sambo ginshimi: ganshiƙan amadu na maigandi kai a uban zagi and Koma shirin yaƙi: jan damishin gidan kure shehu. The selection of the songs was due to the occurrences or use of many forms of animal symbolism in them. The analysis has been done on some instances showcasing animal symbolism derived from these songs. Different names of animals have been mentioned in the songs which carry meanings and portray different qualities attributed to human beings to show the innermost intended meaning of the singer. The instances reflect connotative meanings that symbolize power, strength, wisdom, braveness, leadership, tolerance etc, and some other ones which describe laziness, wickedness, fear, stinginess etc. Animal symbolism is an important tool used in many languages to illustrate the power of language in communicative discourse. The instances in the songs of Sa’idu Faru reflect how Hausa poets use their wisdom and poetic ability to manipulate language and ascribe meanings related to animals on human beings based on their physical or mental capacity. Words such as Kura(hyena), Zaki (lion), and Doki (horse) reflect many different intended meanings from the poet in the song. It is evident, that there is a great important symbolic value associated with each animal mentioned in the song.

Influencing the attitude towards hand hygiene and face masks by pathogen visualisation during the COVID-19 pandemic

ABSTRACT Pupils need to develop habits of using self-protective and non-pharmaceutical measures in the face of health-threatening conditions. This study set out to investigate pupils’ attitudes towards health-protective measures, such as handwashing and face masks, during the COVID-19 pandemic and compared their connotative meanings after experiencing GloGermTM activities, which visualise the micro world and the way microorganisms spread. The study involved 241 students aged 11–15 who completed a semantic differential before and after participating in practical activities. Factor analysis and non-parametric tests were used to characterise and identify shifts in the pupils’ attitudes. The findings show a noticeable shift in attitude, particularly among girls, towards wearing face masks. The factors identified include connotative meanings such as giving credit to potency, achieving quick results, acknowledging purpose, experiencing uncertainty before the intervention, and evaluating the purpose after the intervention. Personal comfort was also identified as a factor that persisted before and after the intervention. Infectious diseases and pandemic awareness are crucial in today’s world and will remain so in the future. We believe that modelling safe experiences with potential pathogens, particularly in promoting healthy behaviours, can reduce health threats. The results indicate that such an approach has the potential to influence attitudes.

INTEGRATION OF NAMES INTO TEXT IN LÁSZLÓ VÉGEL’S NOVEL TRILOGY

The study examines literary naming, the use of geographical and personal names , and their characteristic vehemency in László Végel’s three-volume series of novels (Neoplanta, avagy az Ígéret Földje (Neoplanta, or the Promise Land), Bűnhődés (Atonement) and Balkáni szépség, avagy Slemil fattyúja (Balkan Beauty or the Bastard of Slemil)). In his urban novel and its sequences, Végel places the action in a multi-ethnic, multi-confessional city, and tells its story from the perspective of the people living there, through their life stories. With the onomastic corpus of the texts, he creates the socio-national background, points out the connection between politics and naming, and the problem of the relationship between identity and personal name. The set of names of the novels originate from a network of real and fictitious names: the streets and institution names to be found at the novel’s scene that have changed throughout history several times, as well as the place- and era-creating character of the real names of historical figures embedded into the text, denotative and connotative meanings attached to the fictitious names (personal, interlocutor and metaphorical names), associations, intertextual aspects provide the opportunity for a new interpretation of the novel.

„Hál’ Istennek abban a könyvben, amibe belekezdtem, nincs Rezeda Kázmér...”

Functional cognitive linguistics and cognitive stylistics provide the linguistic background and methodological foundations of this paper. The most significant tenet of cognitive stylistics is the proposition that the formation of linguistic structures does not function merely as stylistic embellishments; instead, style represents an integral aspect of textual meaning. Names created by literary naming can be interpreted and analysed as defining elements of style. Following an introduction to the theory of language and style, the paper examines the fundamental issues of translating literary proper names. The most relevant question is whether it is necessary or possible to translate proper names in literary works. The following section presents an analysis of the significance of naming in Krúdy’s prose, followed by an examination of the main types of Krúdy’s names with ironic stylistic purpose. The third section analyses the German translations of Krúdy’s ironic names. In conclusion, it can be stated that the appropriate reproduction of Krúdy’s ironic names, which reflects the stylistic effect and meaning formation of the source language, is a particularly challenging task for translators. It is not uncommon to observe that connotational meanings and shades of meaning present in source language texts are not fully conveyed in translation. In certain instances, pre-existing linguistic coincidences (e.g., Hungarian Rezeda ‘reseda’ – German Reseda ‘reseda’) can assist in the translation process. In other cases, however, the translator’s professionalism, linguistic sophistication, and creativity are crucial to ensure such names’ accurate and effective translation.

EXPRESS: Exploring the differences in processing between Chinese emotion and emotion-laden words: A cross-task comparison study.

Affective words can be classified into two types: emotion words (EM words, e.g., "happy") and emotion-laden words (EL words, e.g., "wedding"). Several studies have shown differences in processing between EM and EL words, although results are inconclusive. These two types of words may have representational differences because affective content is an inherent part of the semantic features of EM words (i.e., denotative meaning) but not of EL words, whose affective content is part of their connotative meaning (i.e., these words do not name emotions, but are associated to emotions). In this study, we tested a set of Chinese EM and EL words. Both conditions included positive and negative words. The study involved two tasks, an implicit task, in which emotional content was not relevant (lexical decision task, LDT), and an explicit task, in which the emotional content was relevant (affective categorization task, ACT). Our results showed that participants responded faster to EM words than to EL words. This advantage was mostly observed in the ACT and with negative words. These results reveal differences in processing between EM and EL words which can be related to the greater relevance of affective content in the meaning of EM words compared to EL words.

A French Adaptation and Validation of Retirement Semantic Differential (RSD).

Retirement is associated with numerous representations, some of them being negative and the other positive. Yet, these representations affect the health of individuals in their transition to retirement. However, although the socio-political context in France favors the emergence of numerous representations of retired people, to our knowledge there is no scale validated in French that would allow us to evaluate them. Thus, the objective of this study was to adapt and validate a scale assessing representations of retired people, called the Retirement Semantic Differential (RSD), for a French population. The scale consists of a series of bipolar adjectives related to retirement, such as "active/passive" and "happy/sad", with participants' responses indicating the connotative meaning, positive or negative, about representations of retirement. A total of 279 participants aged 18 to 55 years, recruited online, completed the adapted version of the RSD. The results show that the scale has good psychometric properties. The analysis found a three-factor model, and some items were removed, resulting in a reduced version of the scale (11 items). The results will be discussed in terms of cultural and socio-political differences. This scale could contribute to a better understanding of the deleterious effects on health of the transition to retirement and serve to improve the effectiveness of interventions aimed at reducing the negative effects of these representations upon young retirees or those preparing for retirement.

Translation of English Instructive Images of COVID-19 in Social Media into Arabic: A Semiotic Study

This study investigates the intersemiotic translation process of specific images used to instruct people concerning COVID-19 disease that are posted on different social media. It also attempts to identify translation strategies employed by translators to convey the meaning from one non-verbal form into an Arabic verbal form. This study depends on a multimodal perspective that combines comprehending the connotative meaning of the image and analyzing it into a different verbal expressive form. It is hypothesized that translators are aware of the translation strategy through which the expression of an image is communicated successfully into Arabic verbal expressions. Translators employ Stetting's strategies that are restricted to media translation and journalistic translation, which is used for transferring the meaning of different forms of media. Five translators participated in this study to translate eight images into Arabic. This study concludes that a sign's detonative and connotative meanings are rendered, whether positively or negatively, to transfer the meaning, whether directly or indirectly.

Trends in Mutual Transpositions of Lexical and Grammatical Noun Categories in Russian Language

This study addresses the gap in understanding the lexico-grammatical-structural types of nouns, particularly how lexico-semantic variants gain new connotations during transposition. Drawing upon Babaytseva’s theory of transitivity phenomena and building on Mel’chuk’s text semantic theory, we identify the schemes and mechanisms of transposition relations concerning the lexical and grammatical categories of modern Russian nouns, by analyzing transposition phenomena and their semantic mechanisms in 660 Russian nouns with indefinite denotation and lexical and grammatical status. The research details all possible immigration transpositions of the lexical and grammatical categories of nouns at the minimal context level and their mechanisms. Findings reveal that approximately 27% of the examined nouns carry connotative meanings, encompassing functional-stylistic, cultural-ethnic, and emotional-evaluative facets. Additionally, the transposition of nouns can occur within or between categories. The principal mechanisms of transposition at the syntagmatic level include metaphors and metonymy. Transpositions at the lexical and semantic categories of nouns coincide with several phenomena: changes in the numerical paradigm, phraseologization, connotation, and the unveiling of the noun’s stylistic potential.
