THE TURKISH LANGUAGE IN THE POETRY COLLECTION COMPILED BY MIHO MARTELINI FROM DUBROVNIK

In the library of the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo there is a manuscript poetry collection compiled by Miho Martelini from Dubrovnik. The collection was compiled in Dubrovnik in 1657 and consists of two volumes containing poems composed in Croatian, Turkish, and Italian. All of the poems were written down in Italian Latin script, except for one poem in both Croatian and Turkish, which was written down in Bosnian Cyrillic script. The eighteen Turkish poems in this collection all belong to the genre of Turkish folk poetry. This paper analyses the characteristics of the Turkish language in the poems from Martelini's collection. Since the poems were compiled in Dubrovnik, which had strong and lively ties with the Ottoman Empire, three linguistic layers could be expected in them: (1) the Ottoman language, or the language of the upper, educated classes of society in the Ottoman Empire; (2) West Rumelian Turkish, or the dialect of Turkish that we may expect to have been present on the territory of Dubrovnik; and (3) the so-called Bosnian variety of the Turkish language, which had developed under the strong influence of a South Slavic substratum, and which may also be expected to have been present in Dubrovnik, due to its geographical proximity to Ottoman Bosnia. This linguistic analysis of Turkish poems from Martelini’s collection complements the image we have of the linguistic, cultural, and societal conditions in the city of Dubrovnik, as well as the larger territory of southeastern Europe in the 17th century.

Design of a Tool Capable of Assessing Environmental Sociocultural Physical Factors Influencing Women's Decisions on When and Where to Toilet Within Real-World Settings: Protocol for the Build and Usability Testing of a Mobile App for Use by Community-Dwelling Women.

Although surveys and apps are available for women to report urination and bladder symptoms, they do not include their decisions regarding toileting. Real-world factors can interfere with toileting decisions, which may then influence bladder health. This premise lacks data per want of a robust data collection tool. The Prevention of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (PLUS) research consortium engaged a transdisciplinary team to build and test WhereIGo, a mobile data collection app for Android and iOS. The design goal was a comprehensive reporting system for capturing environmental, sociocultural, and physical factors that influence women's decisions for toileting. Aims include having (1) an innovative feature for reporting physiologic urge sensation when "thinking about my bladder" and shortly before "I just peed," (2) real-time reporting along with short look-back opportunities, and (3) ease of use anywhere. The development team included a plain language specialist, a usability specialist, creative designers, programming experts, and PLUS scientific content experts. Both real-time and ecological momentary assessments were used to comprehensively capture influences on toileting decisions including perceived access to toileting, degree of busyness or stress or focus, beverage intake amount, urge degree, or a leakage event. The restriction on the maximal number of taps for any screen was six. PLUS consortium investigators did pilot-testing. Formal usability testing relied on the recruitment of community-dwelling women at four PLUS research sites. Women used the app for 2 consecutive days. Outcome measures were the system usability scale (SUS; 0-100 range) and the functional Mobile Application Rating Scale (1-5 range). These scales were embedded at the end of the app. The estimated a priori sample size needed, considering the SUS cut point score set at ≥74, was 40 women completing the study. Funding was provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases since July 2015. The integrity of the build process was documented through multiple 5-minute videos presented to PLUS Consortium and through WhereIGo screenshots of the final product. Participants included 44 women, with 41 (93%) completing data collection. Participants ranged in age from 21 to 85 years, were predominantly non-Hispanic White (n=25, 57%), college-educated (n=25, 57%), and with incomes below US $75,000 (n=27, 62%). The SUS score was 78.0 (SE 1.7), which was higher than 75% of the 500 products tested by the SUS developers. The mean functional Mobile Application Rating Scale score was 4.4 (SE 0.08). The build and informal acceptability testing were completed in 2019, enrollment for formal usability testing completed by June 2020, and analysis was completed in 2022. WhereIGo is a novel app with good usability for women to report toileting decisions, urination, and fluid intake. Future research using the app could test the influence of real-time factors on bladder health. RR1-10.2196/54046.

Instruction in the Language Classroom and the Saudi Vision 2030: A Study Using Delphi Technique With Academics

It is imperative to evaluate contemporary language instruction practices to modify the curriculum to ensure that it fulfills the objectives of Vision 2030 which lays down detailed targets for the education sector. In this background, the current study adopts the Delphi Technique with nine recognized language specialists in Saudi Arabia to evaluate the prevalent language instruction environment and predict the desirable changes. Experts’ consensus and survey results indicated many issues that point towards a more inclusive, adaptive, and globally sensitive language education as the most pressing need of the hour. The participants’ agreement is evidence of the persisting chasm between conventional language standards and the massive changes in global communication, and it also highlights the need for translingualism as a strategy to address this chasm. In addition, results also indicated the need for the teaching community to adapt, develop, and prepare to suit the changing language scenario in the world. This need is dire to meet the massive social, cultural, and economic changes that are characteristic of Saudi Arabia today. The study concludes with emphasizing the need for translingualism in meeting the targets and aims spelt in Vision 2030, thus being of significance to academics, curriculum designers, and administrators who are committed to achieving those goals.

Diversity of dialects of the novel characters according to the descriptive stylistics, the novel (Alye di ye pre) as an example

Methods of style directions are considered as backgrounds for certain reasons and mechanisms of the methods followed, to interpret linguistic or literary discourses and to identify certain methodological characteristics according to certain scientific methods to avoid inferential decisions and interpretations, according to linguistic levels, As a result of contemporary linguistic research done through the use of linguistic sciences in order to identify aesthetic aspects of literary works and writings. Descriptive stylistics is considered an important direction for interpretation of any innovative discourse, because the nature of methodological research, some linguistic directions are important for interpretation of any text it takes hold of itself. Because the concept of expression among linguists is connected the material form of speech, such as speech versus content, which becomes a linguistic meaning for that speech, or the sounds spoken and written on the surface of expression with surface of content, because language is speech. Either they are just some voices and each nation speaks through them, or they are voices that express their actions. This research is entitled (Diversity of dialects of the novel characters according to the descriptive stylistics, the novel (Alye di ye pre) as an example), is an attempt to explain the language expression of characters according to the theory of descriptive stylistics. Expression methodology is a good basis for interpreting text according to the mechanisms it works with in order to convey the right direction for understanding the message of each text.

Celebration of the 400th anniversary of the Lithuanian book

In 1947, Lithuania celebrated the 400th anniversary of the first Lithuanian book, M. Mažvydas's Cathechismus, published in 1547. During this celebration, scientific conferences and book exhibitions were organized, and several significant works devoted to the anniversary were published. Among these was one of the most artistic editions: "The First Lithuanian Book" (a photographic text of the Cathechismus and its transliteration in Latin letters, with articles by J. Kruopas and illuminations by M. Bulakas). In the collection of articles "Ancient Lithuanian Book," significant research in the history of the book and literature was presented, including K. Korsakas's "The First Lithuanian Book," V. Mykolaitis's "Artistic Elements in the Works of Mažvydas and His Contemporaries," P. Galaunė's "Artistic Design of Mažvydas's Book," and V. Abramavičius's "Printing-Offices of Ancient Lithuanian Books." These works addressed issues such as the conditions under which the first Lithuanian book was published, its significance, the date of its publication, its intended audience, authorship and collaboration issues, and analyses of the published texts from linguistic, literary, pedagogical, and ethnographic perspectives, as well as typographical particularities. Some material from the jubilee celebration, such as reports from conferences, was published in the "Directory of the Academy of Sciences of the Lithuanian SSR" (1948, vol. 2). Jubilee reports by V. Mykolaitis, "The First Lithuanian Book" (1948), and K. Korsakas, "Development of Lithuanian Book over 400 Years" (1948), were published separately. During the anniversary year, the first Lithuanian book and other works by M. Mažvydas were extensively investigated, defining their significance for linguistic science, cultural history, and the expansion of literature, and showing the historical development of Lithuanian book publishing.

The Basic Principles and Criteria for the Selection of Terms for the Compilation of the Latin-Kyrgyz Educational Dictionary for Students of a Medical University

The modern stage of the world's development is caused by a large flow of information and rapid changes in language. Today, in the current circumstances of international communication, it is necessary to know about the empirical sphere of the translated primary source, to have the skills to search for highly specialized terms. The term is an inseparable part of the scientific sphere, a means of transforming professional information and performs the function of semantic support in understanding the professional concept. The educational dictionary plays an important role in the educational environment, providing students and teachers with the necessary vocabulary and explanations of terms in various subjects. This is one of the key means of teaching a foreign language. It helps students build vocabulary, master grammatical structures, and improve their reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. Therefore, when compiling an educational dictionary, it is necessary to adhere to certain principles. Its main task is to provide students with clear and accurate vocabulary that helps them understand the educational material and communicate effectively in a professional language. Compiling a Latin-Kyrgyz educational dictionary for medical university students is an important task that requires strict adherence to certain principles and rules. First of all, it is important to keep in mind that this dictionary is designed to facilitate the process of teaching medical terminology to students, and therefore should be as accurate, complete and accessible as possible. Effective compilation of an educational dictionary requires careful planning, collaboration between language specialists and teachers, as well as taking into account current trends in education and the use of technology.

Creazione e ricreazione di un personaggio postmoderno: il caso di Salvatore nel Nome della rosa di Umberto Eco

The article is dedicated to the analysis of the linguistic-textual representation of Salvatore in Umberto Eco’s novel The Name of the Rose and its Slovene, Croatian, Czech and Polish translations. The first part of the article deals with different linguistic and intertextual layers composing Salvatore’s original utterances, while the second part is devoted to Salvatore’s translated language, concentrating – primarily – on his heteroglossia and intertextuality. Salvatore is a grotesque plurilinguistic and intertextual character born out of the rich erudite immagination of Umberto Eco. The four translated Salvatores appear also as strange babelic monks whose multilingualism expands by adding a dominant Slavic linguistic element to the source-text heteroglossia. The intertextual dimension of translated Salvatores, on one hand, diminishes as most source-text citations blend into the translated linguistic mosaic, but, on the other hand, it also increases by gaining an additional metatextual (translational) dimension and, equally important, by incorporating a substantial part of Eco’s original text.

UTILIZATION OF BLENDED LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES IN IMPROVING STUDENTS’ WRITING SKILLS: TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION MODELS

Internal and external factors influence the quality and content of foreign language teaching in the global education system. It is essential to thoroughly analyze and classify modern ICTs to create an effective educational environment. Research in this area is increasingly necessary, especially considering the changing requirements for the knowledge, skills, and qualifications of future English language specialists in the era of globalization. This necessitates a more complex educational process and calls for comprehensive reform. As a result, there is a growing need to employ a blended form of education, which combines offline (traditional), online (distance), and independent learning. The main goal of this study is to reveal the practical importance of using technology integration models (TIMs), especially blended learning technologies, to improve the writing competencies of lower-level students in the context of paragraph and essay writing skills in higher education institutions (HEIs) that prepare future English language specialists. This study involves the analysis of the scientific and practical significance of TIMs, the study of the process of implementation of a new approach to technologies in a blended learning environment, the classification of both positive and negative aspects of TIMs, and the development of mechanisms for using blended learning technologies based on the PICRAT TIM. Scientific literature analysis, analytical-synthetic and comparative-contrastive research methods were used to effectively perform these tasks. According to the obtained results, blended learning consists of complex processes, and its effectiveness directly depends on the teacher's choice of the right technologies and their use in place. Additionally, the blended form of learning, which combines offline, online, and independent forms of learning, has caused a conceptual change in the approaches to technology that are currently in practice. The conclusion was that the most important aspect of using technologies in teaching writing competence to future specialists of the English language in higher education is to create an innovative educational environment for them.

МОВЛЕННЄВА КОМПЕТЕНТНІСТЬ ЯК СКЛАДОВА ПРОФЕСІЙНОЇ ПІДГОТОВКИ МАЙБУТНІХ ПЕДАГОГІВ ПРОФЕСІЙНОГО НАВЧАННЯ

Relevance: The prioritization of developing speech competence in future teachers of vocational education is necessitated by the need to equip learners with competencies for lifelong learning, aligning with the qualification requirements of higher education graduates amidst the reforms in the national higher education system and its integration into the European space. Objective: To substantiate the importance of speech competence as a component of professional training for future teachers of vocational education in higher education institutions. Methods: Analysis, synthesis, and generalization of scientific works and legislative and regulatory documents were used for the theoretical analysis of key concepts of the study, defining the term "speech competence as a component of professional training for future vocational education teachers"; comparison was employed to identify approaches to solving the researched problem; generalization and systematization were used to formulate conclusions and prospects for further research. Results: Analysis of scientific works revealed that the speech competence of future vocational education teachers develops through the integration of the main tenets of linguistic sciences, psychology, and pedagogy. It is hierarchically subordinated to the principles of implementing a competence-based approach in the education system and integrates into the system of key (general) competencies as a distinct component. Speech competence, as defined in the Standard of Higher Education at the Bachelor's level, field of study 01 – "Education / Pedagogy", specialty 015 – "Professional Education (by specializations)" and in educational-professional programs, is determined by specific learning outcomes, mastery of which provides the ability to obtain an educational qualification. The level of speech competence within the system of general competencies for lifelong learning is a guarantee for the systemic further personal and professional development of a vocational education teacher according to the standards and socio-cultural trends. Conclusions: Innovative and European integration development of educational systems, current scientific research in pedagogy and psychology, technological changes, and the digitalization of society require a systemic update of educational content components to effectively develop the speech competence of future vocational education teachers and to ensure their ability to organize and conduct pedagogical activities effectively.

Three Early Linguistic Layers in Haredi Hebrew

Abstract A close examination of contemporary Hebrew as spoken by Haredi, or ultra-Orthodox, communities in Israel reveals linguistic layers from several historical and cultural contexts. This article looks at elements from three of these layers: Jewish religious literature, the Yiddish language and outdated Israeli Hebrew. An analysis of these elements sheds light on how Haredi Hebrew differs from ‘general’ Israeli Hebrew and how these differences reflect linguistic perceptions and socio-cultural values that distinguish Haredim from the broader Israeli population. In addition to demonstrating the intricate interplay between language and society, analysis offers insight into the dynamic nature of Hebrew language evolution.

Lexico-Semantic Field and Conceptual Feature of the Concept "Ақыл/Mind"

Linguoculturology, a branch of linguistic science, faces challenges in identifying and describing types of cultural concepts. A systematic analysis and a comparative description of the concept "ақыл/mind" in the Kazakh and English languages have not yet been carried out. A comprehensive investigation of the linguoculturological and cognitive specifics of this concept in the linguistic consciousness of Kazakh and English speakers is needed. The current study analysed the lexical and semantic field of the concept "ақыл/mind" and the conceptual specificity of the lexicographic sources of the Kazakh and English languages. Using the logical-semantic method, the study determined the etymology and synonymous fields of the concept "aқыл/mind". The conceptual component of the concept "aқыл/mind" wasanalysed based on lexicographic sources to determine the core and peripheryof each lexeme given its definition given in adictionary entry. The study then illustrated the similarities and peculiarities of the verbalisation of the concept "aқыл/mind" and investigated thedistinctive features of national and cultural characteristics.

Linguistic activity of Shahtakhtli during the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic

The end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries are considered a period of revival of national awakening, self-awareness and the emergence of ideas of independence in the aesthetic and public opinion of Azerbaijan. The Azerbaijan Democratic Republic occupies a special place in the history of state independence of our people. In the Republic of Azerbaijan, special importance is attached to the literary language. Azerbaijani linguistics has an ancient history. Studying the history of this linguistics, determining the role and place of outstanding linguists, enlightened intellectuals who played an important role in its development, is of great importance in terms of writing a complete history of the linguistic thought of our scientific linguistics. The Azerbaijani people, with a rich history and enormous scientific heritage, have produced outstanding public figures. At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, one of the greatest linguists of Azerbaijan, who rose to the level of European standards, was the great public figure Muhammad Agha Shakhtakhtli. The prominent prose writer M. Shakhtakhtli tried to implement the ideas of education by publishing journalistic articles in the Russian-language press of the Caucasus, raised with government authorities the importance of educating the people through the media, and preached the need to reform the alphabet. . Studying and working in Europe, in the capital of France, Paris, M. Shakhtakhtli grew up as an outstanding linguist and published numerous articles in the European press about Eastern culture, the development of Azerbaijani education, and the reform of the Arabic alphabet.

Wh-Words: Existential or Universal Quantifiers in Child Mandarin?

Wh-words have been analysed as existential quantifiers (Chierchia in Logic in grammar: polarity, free choice, and intervention. Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2013; Fox, in Sauerland U, Stateva P (eds) Presupposition and implicature in compositional semantics (Palgrave studies in pragmatics, language and cognition). Palgrave MacMillan, Houndmills, pp 71-120, 2007; Liao in Alternative and exhaustification: non-interrogative uses of Chinese wh-words. Harvard University, 2010) or universal quantifiers (Nishigauchi, in: Theoretical and applied linguistics at Kobe Shoin 2, Kobe Shoin Institute for Linguistic Sciences, 1999). These two accounts have distinct predictions on how children initially interpret wh-words. The universal account predicts that children should initially interpret wh-words as universal quantifiers, whereas the existential account anticipates that children should start out with the existential interpretation. To adjudicate between the two accounts, the present study was designed to explore pre-schoolers' semantic knowledge of wh-quantification. Specifically, it investigated the interpretation of the wh-word shenme 'what' with 4-and 5-year-old Mandarin-speaking children and a control group of adults. Using a Truth Value Judgment Task (Crain and Thornton in Investigations in universal grammar: a guide to experiments on the acquisition of syntax and semantics. MIT Press, Cambridge, 1998), Experiment 1 evaluated whether children interpret the wh-word shenme 'what' as closer in meaning to the polarity sensitive item renhe 'any' or the universal quantifier suoyou 'all' in the antecedent of ruguo 'if' conditionals. Using a Question-Answer Task, Experiments 2 & 3 respectively investigated whether children interpret shenme 'what' as closer in meaning to renhe 'any' or suoyou 'all' in two types of questions: yes-no questions with the particle ma and A-not-A questions. It was found that both children and adults interpret shenme 'what' as closer in meaning to renhe 'any' than suoyou 'all'. The findings suggest that Mandarin-speaking pre-schoolers already have adult-like semantic knowledge of wh-quantification: wh-words are existential quantifiers rather than universal quantifiers. Due to the paucity of primary linguistic input, children's early mastery of the non-interrogative wh-words appear to support the biolinguistic approach to language acquisition (Chomsky in Aspects of the theory of syntax. MIT Press, Cambridge, 1965; Pinker in Language learnability and language development. Harvard University Press, Cambridge, 1984; Crain et al. in Language acquisition from a biolinguistic perspective. Neurosci Biobehav Rev, 2016. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neubiorev.2016.09.004 ).

Learning to read patient notes in the workplace: How reading aloud and reading alongside can help students for whom English is an additional language

Much of the recent research in English for nursing has focused on the specialised spoken discourses rather than the written documentation that nursing students need for patient care. However, patient documentation can be challenging to learn, particularly for some students for whom English is an additional language. This study investigated how novice English as an additional language students learned to read patient documentation during their work placements, and the role that their workplace supervisors played in helping them learn. An ethnographic approach and discourse analysis of workplace interactions with three supervisors and 16 students in three Australian hospitals showed that most nursing students observed required explicit guidance from their supervisors to read the documentation and to understand the linguistic and rhetorical functions of those notes. The findings suggest that developing reading skills in the workplace should involve explicit guidance in learning to read the requisite documentation. It is recommended that English for Specific Purposes courses for nursing students pay attention to written as well as spoken discourses and that language specialists work with nursing educators to provide professional development for workplace supervisors and to ensure that guidelines and expectations for reading documentation are clear for supervisors and students.
