PHONETIC PROBLEMS IN TRANSCRIPTION OF CHINESE EXONYMOUS NAMES IN KAZAKH - LATIN GRAPHICS

The article deals with transcription of Chinese exonym names in Kazakh-Latin graphics, phonetic and phonological problems. Also, a comparative analysis of the sounds of the Chinese phonetic alphabet and the Latin-based Kazakh alphabet is made, a contrastive description of the sound system of the Kazakh and Chinese languages is given, and the difference between equivalent / non-alternative sounds is distinguished. By identifying the equivalent/non-alternative sounds in the sound system of two languages, situations that cause difficulties in transcription into the Latin alphabet are identified. The main goal of the work is to identify phonetic problems in transcription of Chinese exonym names based on the Latin graphics of the Kazakh language and to consider the optimal ways to solve them.It is known that the transition to the Latin script is planned in Kazakhstan in the coming years. Accordingly, work is being done in all areas. It includes onomastic names, foreign names and foreign words and their transcription, transliteration, and translation. Chinese onyms, including exonyms, are one of the new topics that have not been studied in Kazakh linguistics. Their transliteration in Kazakh-Cyrillic script is a problem that has not yet been resolved. Transcription of Chinese exonym names in the Latin-based Kazakh alphabet is a problem that requires new research.The conclusions and analyzes of the research can be used in the comparative teaching and research of the sound systems of the Chinese and Kazakh languages, and in research in the field of onomastics of the Chinese language.

Changes in the grammatical norms of the number in proper and foreign names of shoes

Footwear and its various models are primarily the subject of study in merchandising; however, for linguistics, it is an equally interesting object of research in synchronous and diachronic aspects. In particular, the grammatical characteristics of footwear nouns have not yet been the subject of separate research. The plural form of the noun ʻfootwearʼ is more commonly used in modern linguistic practice, determined by the significance, for human existence, of the semantics of a com- plete pair of footwear. The singular form of the noun name ʻfootwearʼ is less common, as it disrupts the integrity of the concept of a ʻfootwear pairʼ with the semantics of an ʻindi vi- dualizedʼ object. The choice of the number form of footwear nouns as a register is deter- mined by different principles of compiling lexicographical publications and their distinct purposes: explanatory dictionaries prioritize the meaning of an unanalyzed plural, while re- gis ters prioritize the plural form of the noun expressing the semantics of a type of footwear. In orthographic dictionaries, the indication of another numerical form represents the inflec- tional component of the number category of fixed nouns in this semantic group. The grammatical significance of the number in the core of footwear names consists of nouns with a numeral pair, where the codification of the singular form is conditioned by the proportional origin of lexemes and the completion of the grammatical assimilation of foreigh lexemes. Lexicographical sources inconsistently record the singular form of footwear nouns from the core sphere. The change in the grammatical qualification of some footwear names from ʻpluralia tantumʼ to ʻgrammatical significance of singular and pluralʼ attests to the dynamics of morphological norms in contemporary Ukrainian language in general and the process of grammatical adaptation of predominantly foreigh lexemes in particular. However, more often, discrepancies in the printed and ele ctronic dictionaries regarding the grammatical number of nouns from the core sphere of footwear (either plural nouns or nouns with a numeral pair) are caused by subjective factors. The periphery consists of ʻpluralia tantumʼ nouns, most of which are of foreign origin and only make up a part of the lexical composition of the Ukrainian language. The infre- quent functioning of singular forms of nouns from the peripheral sphere in modern speech indicates the incompleteness of their grammatical adaptation. Predominantly foreigh foot- wear names that are not represented in any of the analyzed dictionaries reside outside the delineated spheres, and their use in the plural form in the texts of the 16th version of the Ukrainian National Corpus (HRAK) and in advertising posts on the social network ʻInstagramʼ illustrate the beginning of grammatical adaptation to the morphological norms of the modern Ukrainian language. We see the perspective of research in studying the dynamics of grammatical assimila- tion primarily of those footwear names that are only included in the lexical system of the Ukrainian language and have the grammatical status of ʻpluralia tantumʼ nouns, predomi- nantly used in modern speech either exclusively or mostly in the plural form, with the sin- gular form of these nouns not recorded in any lexicographical publication. The observa- tion of changes in the grammatical number of those footwear names whose singular form is not codified, as it is inconsistently represented in dictionaries, also remains relevant. Keywords: number category, noun, footwear name, pluralia tantum, nu me ral pair, parsed plu- ral, unparsed plural, dynamics, dictionary.

MAKING WEBSITE-BASED OF PROMOTIONAL MEDIA USING CMS WORDPRESS AT ELTABO COFFEE IN CIMAHI

Technological advances that are happening at this time are of benefit to many groups, one of which is businessman. Advances in technology make it easy for businessman to market their products or services. As a result of this convenience, many UMKM have sprung up, including in Cimahi City. Many new businesses have started to emerge including coffee shops or cafes. The many appearances of these coffee shops make the competition even tighter. Eltabo Coffee, which is located in Cimahi City, is one of the new coffee shops. Intense competition and the foreign name Eltabo Coffee among the people of Cimahi City, caused Eltabo Coffee to experience a decline in income.

Style-linguistic characteristics of title in Bosnia and Herzegovina press

It seems completely impossible today to imagine life without mass media. The development of modern technologies has made mass media available to everyone. Mass media, in our case the press, sometimes try to interest and excite their users with their sensational headlines, sometimes make them think, and sometimes even entertain. However, it is very important to keep in mind that each medium shapes the message according to its own language, and an integral part of the languages of the mass media are usually different stylistic and linguistic means. Following earlier analyses of journalistic style, this paper will offer a stylistic-linguistic analysis exclusively of titles, as important and recognizable features of journalistic style, whose task is to be particularly effective in provoking the reader's attention and therefore can appear in the form of rhetorical questions, phrases, already established journalistic templates, etc. , which reflects their expressiveness. In addition, the analysis of the headlines of daily newspapers from the territory of bosnia and herzegovina (osloboenje, nezavisne novine and dnevni list) confirmed that on the phoneticphonological level, for example, there is a difference in writing foreign names, i. E. Names of clubs, awards, proper names, etc. Among these three newspapers, that on the morphological plan, verbs are most often used in the present and future, that the superlative forms of adjectives are often represented, that syntaxic, lexical-semantic figures are used that give the title a stronger, stylistically colored meaning - elliptical sentences, metaphor , metonymy with, of course, an unavoidable lexicon of foreign origin where anglicisms and latinisms dominate, along with some words of oriental origin, and among the dominant functions of the titles are referential (informative), popularistic, expressive and aesthetic.

A Pan-Hispanic approach to the usage of Anglicisms in the thematic area of sports

The influence that English exerts on different languages has been widely examined. Particularly, many studies that have brought the classification of Anglicisms according to thematic fields into focus have shown that, in relation to various languages and varieties, sports is the area in which Anglicisms seem to appear most frequently (Seidel 2010, Andersen 2011). Considering Spanish, when introducing English names of sports, the two main choices are either to adopt/adapt these foreign names or to calque them into the recipient language. This paper aims to clarify which of these two options has been the most successful one and whether diatopic variation plays a part in this respect. To fulfil this goal, a series of equivalent pairs and their variants are looked up in CORPES XXI, and the statistics provided by this corpus in relation to geographical distribution are analysed. Results show that diatopic variation affects disparity in the frequency of use of the different forms of English ball sports names in Spanish.

Reflection of Political and Social Development in the Religious Street Names of the City of Trnava and their Potential in Tourism

Aim. From the point of view of the period of creation and historical development, we consider the streets of the historical core of Trnava to be the most dynamic, and why we focused on street name changes in the period from 1900 to the present in the area of the historical core of the city. Methods. As part of the methodology the classification by urbanonym, with the help of which we included the names of streets and squares into individual categories. A classification was used that divides urbanonyms into socially motivated and socially non-motivated, which are further divided into several subcategories. Urbanonyms are further divided into domestic and foreign. This classification is the most up-to-date of those mentioned and includes a category of religious names. Results. The category of socially significant street names, are divided at a lower level into the categories of politics, art and culture, church, science, crafts and trade, historical names and institutions. The most numerous is the group of names in the art and culture category, which includes 70 domestic and 10 foreign names, which together represent 25.89% of the total number of streets in the city. There are 15 streets in the categories of politics, church and science (4.85% of all 309 streets). Conclusion. Currently, Trnava can be characterised as a modern, dynamic city with a great influence on its surroundings. The restrictive measures taken in connection with the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 greatly affected the tourism sector and meant permanent closure for many businesses.

Adopting French Names as Identity Markers among Second Foreign Language (L3) Learners in China

Using foreign names has become common practice for Chinese students who are learning a foreign language to develop a special identity in multilingual contexts. French is one of the most studied foreign languages in China. Nevertheless, little attention has been paid to the practices learners follow when adopting French names as their identity markers. The current study addresses this gap by investigating twenty-nine French names adopted by Chinese university students who are learning French as the second foreign language (L3) in a Chinese university. Drawing on data collected through interviews, the motivations, and features behind the respondents’ name choices were examined. The qualitative and quantitative analyses show that the practice of adopting French names for these L3 students was primarily motivated by phonetic features and the study participants’ positive associations. The L3 learners deliberately selected a French name to create a multilingual and multicultural identity for themselves. The pedagogical implications regarding teachers’ development of cultural instruction materials as well as teachers’ potential influence on French language instruction overall are also discussed.

Hypocoristics in the Ammani-Jordanian context: A Construction Morphology perspective

The current study explores the patterns of hypocoristics in Ammani-Jordanian Arabic in view of Construction Morphology. The most common hypocoristic patterns are addressed with reference to the social factors (gender and age) that may contribute to the templates and functions of the hypocoristic structure. This paper argues that Ammani-Jordanian Arabic speakers produce various hypocoristic patterns to signify a variety of functions. A questionnaire is designed to explore the formation of hypocoristic patterns among 51 Ammani Jordanians from three different age groups (children, young and elderly). The study shows that the most common hypocoristic pattern used by all participants includes reduplication, truncation, affixation, and adding Ɂabu “father of” and ʔum “mother of” to the male and female names, respectively. The study also reveals how these processes can be used to form hypocoristics of different name types (monosyllabic names, disyllabic names, nonce names, compound names, foreign names, etc.). We also show that the hypocoristic templates may vary according to the gender of the name. The current findings help foreign learners of Arabic to better comprehend the Jordanian culture, including the use of hypocoristics.

Stories of names: exploring Chinese high school language-other-than-English learners’ foreign name(s) usage and its role in multilingual identity construction

ABSTRACT Names serve as a rudimentary bond that connects us to the world. The relationship between language learners’ foreign names adoption and their identity construction has been receiving increased attention. With most studies conducted in English-learning contexts, this study contributes to this line of research by adopting a multilingual framework to explore the role of name choices in the construction of Chinese high school language(s)-other-than-English learners’ multilingual and linguistic identities. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten students who studied multiple foreign languages, focusing on their self-perceptions in relation to different names and their stories of identity negotiation through name usage in various social and linguistic settings. Findings show that names are vehicles of meaning that transmit messages to both the bearer and the people around them. The learners adeptly navigated among names of different linguistic origins, which enriched their identity as multilinguals. The choice, creation, adoption and rejection of foreign names reflected learners’ agency along with their struggles as multilingual learners and users on various sociocultural levels. It is argued that learners’ usage or non-usage of foreign names and their multilingual identity share a co-constitutive relationship and that names reflect, perform and shape the bearers’ multilingual identity.

“VOLLEYBALL IS A GAME THAT IS SLOWLY REPLACING FOOTBALL”. FORMATION OF UKRAINIAN VOLLEYBALL TERMINOLOGY IN THE INTERWAR PERIOD IN GALICIA

In the interwar period, the active creation of Ukrainian volleyball terminology took place, the main principle of which in Galicia was the selection of specific equivalents for foreign names or the formation of neologism terms from the resources of the Ukrainian language. Stepan Haiduchok in the textbook “Vidbyvanka [Volleyball]ˮ presented the attempts of the people of Galicia to create a national term system of volleyball with a minimal share of borrowed terms. In all groups of volleyball terminology analyzed in this article, actually Ukrainian names prevail. There are no foreign language terms among the nominations from the thematic groups – the names of the regulations (pravyla / prypysy hry), names of the match, its parts and results of the match (zmahannia, stricha, hraika, pivhraika, vyhrana, tochka), team name (druzhyna, muzheska / zhinocha / khlopiacha druzhyna, protyvna druzhyna, protyvnyk, pobidna / pobidzhena druzhyna), names of the playground, its parts and markings (hryshche, pole, vlasne / protyvne pole, muzheske / zhinoche hryshche, polovyna hryshcha, pole podavachiv / pryimachiv, linii hryshcha, bichna liniia, pobochyna, cholova liniia / hranytsia, seredynna liniia, seredynna, pravyi / livyi kut hryshcha, mistse podachi), inventory names (pryladdia, stoiak, stovp, stovpchyk, sitka, miach), names of equipment (sorochka, shtantsiata, kaptsi), names of actions of players in volleyball (hraty pivhraiku, hraty v linii napadu / pomochi, vyhraty, prohraty, vidbyvaty miach livoiu / pravoiu rukoiu / kulakom / doloneiu, pidbyvaty miach kulakom / oboma rukamy / ponad sitku, vdariaty miach zverkha / do protyvnyka, vybyty miach poza hryshche / na protyvne pole, perebyty miach na chuzhe pole, pidbyty miach dva razy pidriad, dobyvaty miach do svoioho napadu). Several foreign language borrowings were recorded in thematic groups: the name of the game – volley-ball, the name of the participants in a volleyball match – trener (among the rest of the specific nominations of this group – hrach, napadach, pomichnyk, podavach, pryimach, spivhrach, zapasnyk, providnyk, suddia) and as part of hybrid terms individualna hra, reprezentatsiina druzhyna, rukhankova salia. So, the volleyball terminology analyzed in the article has a distinctly national character: it is dominated by Ukrainian proper names and the share of loans is insignificant.

Name Variation in Old Russian: Main Cases and Possible Interpretations

The study considers several cases of the variation of Christian and original Slavic names of persons in Medieval Rus. Based on chronicles, birch bark letters, and business documents, the article traces the changes in the form of one and the same name, investigates the context, and offers possible explanations for each distribution of name forms. First, the article addresses hypocoristic forms of Christian names (Mikhalko, Yanka), which in the period under study most often did not carry a diminutive or pejorative meaning but could perform a neutralizing function in the interaction between original Slavic and foreign name systems: in an earlier Rostov chronicle Michael of Chernigov appears under the form Mikhalko, while in later sources he is consistently mentioned under the form Mikhail. Second, the variations between canonical and popular forms of the same Christian name (Aleksey/Oleksey, Stefan/Stepan) are analyzed in the context of narrative changes. We found that in contexts related to their death and/or participation in the construction of a church, many posadniks [city m ayors] of Novgorod are mentioned by the canonical form of their name, while in the description of other events — consistently by the popular form). Finally, special attention in the article is devoted to the influence of the graphic systems of Old Russian sources on the alternation of the forms of Christian names, as well as to the limits of variation of native Slavic names in the context of personal correspondence in birch bark letters as compared with the chronicles.

Współczesne tendencje urbanonimiczne w Szczecinie na przykładzie nazw restauracji

The research task was to trace the names of Szczecin restaurants existing in 2020–2022. The aim of the study was to show which naming tendencies exist in the contemporary urban names of Szczecin. The gathered onymic collection was subjected to semantic and formal analysis. On the basis of the study of the names of selected restaurants in Szczecin, it can be concluded that two opposing linguistic tendencies clash in the contemporary urban naming of Szczecin: 1. striving to revert to native names and 2. adopting foreign names. The onyms created in this way create a semantically and structurally heterogeneous collection of urbanonyms.

NEW PROFESSIONAL ROLES OF A TEACHER AND THEIR NAMES: TERMINOLOGY ANALYSIS

In the modern world multitasking is a professional feature of specialists working in various fields. It also applies to teachers. Difficult conditions of forced remote education during pandemic, remote and mixed learning under conditions of martial law require teachers to acquire new skills and perform roles that often go beyond the traditional idea of a teacher. The concept of the New Ukrainian School refers to a teacher who is no longer the only mentor and source of knowledge, but is at the same time a coach, facilitator, tutor, moderator, mentor, consultant, instructor, manager and leader in the individual educational trajectory of the child. Recent years saw many borrowings in pedagogical terminology, first of all, these are anglicisms, less frequently – borrowings from classical languages that functioned in other terminological systems and acquire a new meaning in pedagogy. The dominance of foreign terms in computer or economic science has become something common both for linguists and ordinary speakers, but anglicisms in the educational field seem to be an artificial and undesirable phenomenon. A comprehensive study of borrowings in pedagogical terminology is extremely relevant, as the number of new terms of foreign origin in the educational environment is constantly growing. It is necessary to find out whether borrowing is justified, or it is just the fashion for new words and unwillingness to look for the Ukrainian counterparts or create new ones. The article analyzes the latest terms that have appeared in pedagogy from the point of view of the expediency of their use. The meaning and origin of such terms as coach, facilitator, tutor, mentor, moderator, advisor and supervisor have been clarified. Based on the translation and explanatory dictionaries of pedagogical terms, all possible correspondences for these foreign names were selected. The article describes how the semantics of the latter is superimposed on the definition of the functions performed by modern teachers. The most appropriate substitutes, actually Ukrainian and those of foreign origin, which exist in the Ukrainian language, are proposed. It is concluded that in the case when a specific term has the same meaning as the borrowed one, it should be fixed as a single normative variant or as a synonym along with the term of foreign origin, as the national terminology should absorb the world heritage of a certain science (terminology), while preserving its nationally identity.

ESTABLISHMENT OF THE UKRAINIAN BIRD NOMENCLATURE IN SCIENTIFIC USE: A BRIEF OVERVIEW

The period from the middle of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century should be considered as the beginning of the creation of the Ukrainian natural nomenclature. At that time, I. Verkhratsky published several lists of specifically Ukrainian names of animals and plants. More than two thousand names of birds are in these lists. The second period of development of the national bird nomenclature fell at the end of the first third of the 20th century and lasted very little. It was distinguished by the fact that M. Scharlemann published a dictionary with approximately 1.900 Ukrainian bird names for almost 400 species. The names mostly related to species of common fauna, and the main names were chosen among them. Since then, they have been widely used. In this dictionary, only a small number of names were to exotic birds. Unfortunately, this period was replaced by the third stage, which lasted from the end of the 1930s to the beginning of the 1980s, when the national nomenclature of birds was subjected to russianization, that is, a significant number of Russian names were used. At the same time, for educational needs, a number of foreign names were introduced into the Ukrainian language to denote species that occur outside of Ukraine. In general, the use of bird names of common fauna was characteristic of these periods. The fourth period of formation of the Ukrainian bird nomenclature began in the mid-1980s and lasted for ten years. During this period, O.Markevich and K. Tatarko published a trilingual zoological dictionary and listed Ukrainian names for almost 860 bird species in it, that is, at that time, more than twice the number of species compared to those found in the domestic fauna. The names referred mainly to Palearctic birds. Expansion of the functioning of the national nomenclature within the framework of the world fauna was initiated at this stage. The fifth stage, for which specifically Ukrainian names were returned to use, took place from the end of the 1990s during the first decade of the 21st century. Based on this, a complete system of the Ukrainian bird nomenclature of the world was formed in the second decade of the current century, i.e. in sixth period. The Ukrainian synonymous names of birds were used to a large extent for this purpose, as well as names from eight foreign languages were borrowed. Currently, changes in the Ukrainian nomenclature system of birds are taking place under the influence of new taxonomic studies.

Dominance of Foreign Shop Names Over Arabic Names in Saudi Arabia: Promotional, Sociocultural and Globalization Issues

This article investigates the language choice in shop names in Saudi Arabia, and the factors that determine the language choice and the reasons for preferring English to Arabic names. A sample of 500 shop names in 12 cities was collected from a Saudi Mall Directory and analyzed. In addition, a sample of 75 students and instructors from the departments of languages, translation, education, computer science and business and 25 shop owners and workers were surveyed. It was found that 64% of the shops have foreign names (25% international foreign names and 39% local names); 24% have pure Arabic names and 12% have mixed names. Some shops with a foreign name add an Arabic descriptor which is a translation of the foreign name (Perfume (عطورات بارفيوم. Foreign names are used in some mall and shop names although Arabic equivalents exist. The students, faculty and shop owners and workers gave promotional, sociocultural, linguistic and globalization factors, and lack of a business naming policy. They indicated that foreign shop names are used as a marketing strategy to attract customers who prefer foreign merchandise to local ones. They think it is more glamorous to use a foreign name as foreign names are associated with modernity, prestige, and elitism. They can reach more customers. A foreign name gives the customer the impression that the store is keeping abreast of latest international markets. They faculty added that in our cognition, foreign names are connected with high quality. Our culture looks at English as more sophisticated and fancier. An English name has a different effect. Shop owners indicated that new entrepreneurs adopt a foreign name because they are worried about their ability to compete with other shops. Shops like to Imitate shops in the West. Some think that translating a shop name to Arabic creates a barrier between the customer and the foreign franchised company as the original name is in English. As an example, foreign names are used for promoting the Riyadh Season (Oasis, Winter Wonderland, Park Avenue (بوليفارد . The article gives recommendations for protecting the Arabic language, translating shop names, and choosing glamorous and attractive Arabic names.

Deviant Arabic Transliterations of Foreign Shop Names in Saudi Arabia and Decoding Problems Among Shoppers

This study aimed to analyze a sample of Arabic transliterations of foreign shop names in Saudi Arabia; to identify the inaccuracies, and inconsistencies in the Arabic transliterations; the causes of the Arabic inconsistent and erroneous transliterations; whether shoppers (who do not know English) can decode and pronounce a sample Arabic transliterations of shop names; and the factors that should be taken into consideration in transliterating foreign shop names to Arabic. Results of the data analysis showed that 52% of the inaccurate transliterations are in the vowels and diphthongs; 36% are inaccurate and inconsistent transliterations of consonants. In 11.6% of the shop names, ch was reduced to sh; and /g/ was transliterated in 3 ways. 13% of the consonant transliteration deviations occurred in words containing a silent letter. In 6%, the Arabic vowel was double. In 8%, compound shop names were spelled together (blended) in the Arabic transliteration; In 7%, foreign names from French, Italian, Japanese, and Turkish were transliterated as they are pronounced in English, not in the original language. Findings also showed variant spellings of the same name shop names especially from French, Italian and Turkish (Parfois بارفواه بافويس; Spring سبرينق سبرينج; Semit Sarai سميت/سيميت; Chocolate شوكلت/شوكليت). Results of a decoding test given to a sample of college students and faculty who have a low proficiency level in English showed that the subjects could decode shop names such as ماكدونالدر، بيرغر كينج، هارديز، كوستا، ساربكس.. نسكافيه بيرجر كينج، تويز ار اص، but had difficulty decoding , دولس قوستو, أدفنتورا, جارليشوز لاونج, أميريكان إيجل أوتفترز, أكسسوريز, بايليس, باربكيوتونايت, لولو سلبريت, ذا تشيلدرنز بليس and other. The students and faculty had difficulty decoding Arabic transliterations because they are not familiar with the shop name in the foreign language, and because of the absence of short vowels in the transliteration, which makes it difficult to pronounce the transliterated names correctly. Deviant transliterations are attributed to transliterators who are non-native speakers of Arabic, English and other foreign languages. Recommendations for accurate Arabic transliterations of foreign shop names in Saudi Arabia are given.

The Challenge of Turkish Proper Names in Foreign Language Learning

The article aims to sort out semantic and cultural diversity in Turkish female and male names, which could be challenging for foreign learners of Turkish. This research was designed as a descriptive analysis into how foreign names could be semantically and culturally interfered by foreign language learners of Turkish. So as to make the classification, the most frequent 100 names of newborn Turkish citizens between 1950 and 2020 years were officially gathered from the Turkish Statistics Institute. The findings reveal that these names reflect a wide diversity ranging from functional words to their derivations since Turkish is an agglutinative language causing challenges for foreigners, and it deduces it is far beyond of their formations. It is assumed that these names raise critical language awareness on structural and deep cultural insights of target language.

The Effect of the Real

On the occasion of his recent essay film Mariner of the Mountains, the queer Brazilian director Karim Aïnouz reflected upon his career in a wide-ranging conversation with FQ contributing editor Alisa Lebow. Spanning themes from Aïnouz’s insider/outsider status as a gay Brazilian with a foreign name to his reputation as a consummate director of “women’s films,” the interview presents a comprehensive overview of Aïnouz’s oeuvre: from his first feature film Madame Satã to his first English-language film Firebrand, about the life of Henry VIII’s last wife Catherine Parr, currently in production.
