Study on the Selection of Words in College English Writing

Selection of words is an important part in college English writing. A perfect writing largely depends on the right choice of words. By means of a writing test and a questionnaire, a survey was carried out upon 100 freshmen with non-English majors from two classes to investigate the challenges of the selection of words in writing. The findings indicate that students have major difficulties in spelling, meaning conveying, concise expressing, style of words, and so on. Thus, the study puts forward some effective methods in lexical, grammatical and stylistic aspects to improve the selection of words. Furthermore, the researcher attains valuable reflection on the teaching of college English writing. The reflection includes the cultivation of students’ writing accomplishment and writing interest, the adoption of flexible teaching methods in writing class, and effective use of online writing platforms. Finally, an interview with 35 respondents has proved the teaching effect. So the study can be implemented by students and teachers to enhance the learning and teaching of English writing.

ДИАЛЕКТИКА ВЗАИМОДЕЙСТВИЯ СТИЛЯ И СОДЕРЖАНИЯ (на примере музыки композиторов ХХ века)

It is well known that the categories of style and content are inextricably linked, since one of the functions of style is the fixation and expression of a certain content. At the same time, such concepts as the content of a style and the content of a piece of music included in a specific style context cannot be identified. The interconnection of style and content in musical works of different eras can be different. The article discusses the dialectics of the interaction of two categories in the styles of various levels, as well as the forms and methods of manifestation of style determinants in the meaningful compositions of the works. Style dominants, personification of style in typical images of the epoch, monograms, initiations, allusions are used as concepts that combine both semantic and style attributes. Despite the fact that the categories of style and content are developed in the works of many scientists, there is still no special study on the subject of their interconnection and interdependence. Meanwhile, the knowledge of the stylistic aspects of the content of musical works and the ways of their manifestation helps to decipher the semantic content of a particular composition, and is in demand both in theoretical courses and in the performing practice of musicians of various profiles.

Linguocultural features in the translation of military texts from english into uzbek

This article is devoted to the lingo-cultural features of translation of military-texts. The given article considers the importance of translation techniques, the grammatical and lexical transformations the function of the abbreviations methods of translating military abbreviations in particular, from English to Russian or Uzbek. Translation of military-texts, the need to preserve the original image in translation, stylistic aspect of translation is very important in teaching English to military personnel. The given article considers the importance of translation. For the successful implementation of military translation, it is necessary not only to know the appropriate language and military terminology, but also to be educated in the field of military affairs and to know the peculiarities of foreign armed forces. Other kinds of errors arise as a result of the incorrect assignment of a term to one of the groups already indicated and the choice of an inadequate translation method. For example, the term warrant officer is translated by transcription and translation. This document consists of 329 pages, of which we analyzed 310 pages of text, because we did not consider illustrative materials (tables and diagrams) in the appendix. which always translated into Russian as a sergeant major [Strelkovsky 1979]. It follows that to clarify a translation option, it is sometimes useful to find out how a given term is translated into other languages.. For example, the term security means security, support, combat support; security; security, secrecy; counterintelligence; the term armor is armor; armored forces; tanks the terms unit and command have up to ten or more meanings.

Optional Shifts in Existential Presupposition in Two Arabic Translations of A Farewell to Arms: A Shift into a More Narratorial Involvement and an Approximated Reader

This paper examines the optional shift in existential presupposition in two Arabic translations of Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms. In particular, it seeks to identify both how the shift occurs and how it affects the stylistic features of the translated narrative, namely point of view and readers’ interactive relationship with the text. The ultimate goal is to contribute to the research into the stylistic aspects of English-Arabic fiction translation and the alleged norms of translation. The findings reveal a tendency to increase the level of definiteness of the referring expressions and to claim more of the reader’s assumed knowledge of the text, suggesting a more approximated and involved reader compared to that of the original. There is also a tendency to bring the narrator and characters closer to each other in the psychological space and to increase the narrator’s subjectivity in the translated text. This tendency reflects the translator’s attempts to reconstruct the realities depicted in the original narrative during the translation process. Existential presupposition may be better seen in the translated fiction as a tool translators use to enhance the passage of information to a reader who is often linguistically and psychologically remote from the original work..

ContextNet: representation and exploration for painting classification and retrieval in context

In automatic art analysis, models that besides the visual elements of an artwork represent the relationships between the different artistic attributes could be very informative. Those kinds of relationships, however, usually appear in a very subtle way, being extremely difficult to detect with standard convolutional neural networks. In this work, we propose to capture contextual artistic information from fine-art paintings with a specific ContextNet network. As context can be obtained from multiple sources, we explore two modalities of ContextNets: one based on multitask learning and another one based on knowledge graphs. Once the contextual information is obtained, we use it to enhance visual representations computed with a neural network. In this way, we are able to (1) capture information about the content and the style with the visual representations and (2) encode relationships between different artistic attributes with the ContextNet. We evaluate our models on both painting classification and retrieval, and by visualising the resulting embeddings on a knowledge graph, we can confirm that our models represent specific stylistic aspects present in the data.

Językowy kształt poradnika gospodarskiego pomieszczonego w „Nowych Wiadomosciach Ekonomicznych i Uczonych" (1758–1761)

The article analyses the structural, pragmatic, cognitive and stylistic aspects of a handbook entitled Introduction to governance, featured in the first Polish popular-scientific journal – “Nowe Wiadomości Ekonomiczne i Uczone” published in Warsaw in 1758–1761 by Wawrzyniec Mitzler de Kolof. It has been demonstrated that the text under analysis, which can be classified as a utility text, shows conspicuous elements of two styles – ordinary (unsophisticated vocabulary; simple syntactic structures; proverbs) and scholarly (pronounced text segmentation, perspective of the author setting himself aside from the recipient; economic terminology; defining new or more difficult concepts; references to foreign (Latin and/or German) counterparts of Polish names of plants).

The role of Euphemisms in Nzema Language and Culture

This paper examines the role of euphemisms in the context of Nzema. It however discusses the Nzema examples alongside Akan, a sister language. Euphemisms can be linked to bone marrow in the sense that they are inseparable from language just as marrow is with bone. That is to say, it is highly impossible for bones not to have marrow as they are already embedded or built into the bones for varying purposes. Inasmuch as a body without breath is lifeless, a language that has no euphemistic expressions can also be said to be inadequate with respect to its functional and stylistic aspects. We use language to communicate and euphemism is a proper language style that people pursue in social communication in order to reach an ideal communication effect. Euphemisms are used in place of some sensitive, unpleasant, disturbing and taboo topics. The Nzema data indicate that in this language (Nzema), these expressions (euphemisms) can be dichotomised into two categories based on the communicative function they hold. In the first place, euphemisms are motivated by issues relating to taboos and are mainly used to avoid affronting both speaker’s and the hearer’s face. Secondly, they function as a stylistic marker so that their use is not as a response to taboo topics, rather, are subtle means of expressing one’s thought which fit in the context of use.

Лексико-семантичні особливості німецькомовної терміносистеми аграрної сфери

Introduction. The article deals with lexico-semantic and stylistic aspects of the agrarian language specialty, specifies the peculiarities of the use of stylistic means in agrarian texts in German. Purpose is to determine lexico-semantic features of the german-language terminosystem of agrarian sphere. Results. It has been found that the enrichment of the industry's lexical system, in particular terminological units, occurs in two ways. It has been determined that the agro-industrial complex is characterized by a large number of terms that define land-related concepts. They denote the most common concepts of agroeconomic science, which came into existence long before its full development. Such terms are modifications of the original meaning of ordinary common words. In the language of agriculture and the economy of the agro-industrial complex, an important place is occupied by terms, which are the second time in the term system, acquiring updates due to changes in economic, social or political situation. It should be noted that in the new terminological environment they are used together with the clarifying word - adjective land or noun land, so they have already acquired the status of terminological phrases, which are usually used in the mature form. Many common words have become agro-economic terms, combined with the dependent component. However, some of them are recorded in German dictionaries, while others are not. It has been found that the semantics of terminological units also require in-depth research. On the basis of the commonality of the content of a semantically organized system of linguistic units, the semantic fields of terms of this branch in language are formed. The structure of the field outlines the understanding of language as a system of subsystems characterized by interaction and interpenetration. The subsystems of the field are semantic groups - paradigmatically linked units, united by a community of meanings, regardless of belonging to different parts of the language. Various lexical-semantic groups are considered, examples are given. At the present stage of development of agrarian terminology, it has been found that transformational changes in terms of the content of the names under study are often related to the emergence in the semantic structure of a number of terms of individual lexical-semantic groups that refer them to other thematic groups. It is established that the structure of terms of agrarian industry and, in particular, sub-branches of agricultural engineering is represented by two groups: monolex and multilex terms. The terms of mechanical engineering and their division into those between the constituent parts of which are meaningful, copulatory and signifier-copulative relations are considered. It is established that the terms in both languages have a large percentage of borrowings, and each term can be considered by its belonging to lexical-semantic groups, thematic groups, source of origin, primary or secondary nomination, mono- or multilexity, etc. A number of main features of the discourse of the scientific and technical literature of agrarian subjects are determined.It is also determined that the plant term system is marked by a large number of terms-abbreviations or truncated words-terms. Some of the abbreviations (full or partial) are translated into Ukrainian, either directly or through calculations. Acronyms are no less commonly used, the abbreviations formed from the initial letters that are part of a multicomponent name. Acronyms, along with acronyms, are quite common in reducing-contamination formed by the compilation of two bases, which are translated by descriptive method and calculation. It is established that acronyms resulting from the truncation or omission of a part of a word are translated by the method of calculating and explication. It has been found that these short names are used both in writing and in oral language. And most of the shortened German-speaking composites are translated by calculus - by replacing the components with their lexical correspondences, and their full name is translated by explication - explaining the meaning of the word. Conclusion. It is determined that in the agrarian discourse of the German language, such abbreviations are used which have no corresponding in the Ukrainian language, so they are always translated in the full form of the word. It is determined that the discourse of the scientific and technical literature of agrarian subjects has a number of defining features that characterize its thematic orientation and determine the functional features. Among them: truthfulness, scientific creativity, anthropocentrism, seclusion, clear normality, as well as high terminology. There is a large percentage of borrowing terms in both languages. Each term can be considered by its affiliation to LSG, TG, source of origin, primary or secondary nomination, mono- or multilexity, etc. For this reason, unification, selection of scientific term, use of dialect material with consideration of all needs and requirements of terminology are the main tasks of terminology.

Compound adjectives in the Erzya language

Introduction. The changes occurring in the modern world have an impact on the language, in particular, this results in an increased appearance of complex word forms. Regarding the Erzya language, this is also relevant, as in it stem-composition is the most productive way of building new words. There is a constant interest in compound adjectives in the academic world; they are studied based on the material derived from regional languages, in the comparative aspect, in terms of their functional and stylistic characteristics, syntactic analysis and inner structure. The purpose of the article is to study the ways of building complex adjectives, their spelling, functional and stylistic aspects. Materials and Methods. Compound adjectives in the Erzya language were examined on the material taken from the Erzya-Russian dictionary [Erzyan-Ruzon Valks = Erzya-Russian Dictionary 1993]. The following research methods were employed throughout study: induction (methods of observation, comparison, generalization and interpretation), quantitative calculations, component analysis. Results and Discussion. The article targets to study the mechanisms of word-building pertaining to compound adjectives, their spelling, functional and stylistic aspects. The Erzya-Russian dictionary entries showed that stem-composition in relation to adjectives is not the predominant way of word-building. In particular, there are very few adjectives of a subordinating type. Among compound adjectives of a coordinating type two groups were revealed: 1) adjectives built by the blending of two adjectives (among them, a stem-compound (complex word) formed by the blending of two descriptive adjectives and complex words made up of descriptive adjectives, denoting colors), 2) compound adjectives, built by the blending of two derivative adjectives (among them, compounds made up of two similar or identical in meaning adjectives and compound adjectives, formed as a result of repetition of derivative adjectives). Conclusion. Although the question of how to write complex words in the Erzya language remains disputable, in respect to compound adjectives the established tradition requires that compound adjectives of a subordinating type to be written in one word, compound adjectives of a coordinating type are hyphenated.

APHORISTICS: RESEARCH METHODOLOGY DIVERSITY

The article demonstrates that nowadays almost all points of view on the nature of an aphorism can be schematically divided into several groups: – an aphorism as a literary genre; – an aphorism as a field of knowledge; – an aphorism as a linguistic phenomenon. Depending on the point of view on the nature and essence of an aphorism, scientists offer different methods of their research. Firstly, it is proposed to consider an aphorism within the sphere of functional-semantic typology of the statement. Due to this approach, it is productive to consider the semantics of aphorisms belong to certain stages of the literature history, i.e. in diachrony, stylistic aspects of individual authors’ sayings. Secondly, an aphorism is proposed to be considered as a unit of phraseology of the language. This approach makes it possible to productively distinguish introductory aphorisms in texts of any functional style, to compile dictionaries of aphorisms, i.e. to include aphoristic material in scientific lexicography, to distinguish aphorism in terms of volume from aphoristic statements and other intersecting concepts. Thirdly, the understanding of the nature of an aphorism is proposed within structural paremiology. The study of an aphorism in the framework of the paremiological level of the language allows the researcher to represent a variety of structural models of aphorisms, formally narrowing the scope of the ambivalent concept of an «aphorism», to analyze the syntactic nature of an aphorism. However, this approach is almost impossible in the study of aphorisms lexicography; it is difficult to separate proverbs from aphorisms. Fourthly, aphorisms are considered within the linguistics and cultural studies when their national features are identified. This approach makes it possible to analyze an aphorism as a part of the mandatory background knowledge possessed by members of a certain linguistic and ethnic community. Aphorisms assist in the identification of the most important concepts of mentality and help to comprehend the most important (frequent) topics for certain people. Literary approach to the study of aphorisms involves genre interpretation. The genre approach to the study of aphorisms provides a variety of opportunities for the semantic analysis of aphorisms in any national literature. The comparative study of aphorisms peculiar to different times and peoples makes it possible to single out genre features of aphorisms individual groups. However, this approach remains a variety of unresolved problems, in particular, the volume of the aphorisms, the availability of these optional features such as originality and paradox.

STUDI KASUS LINGUISTIK FORENSIK: HOAKS REKAMAN SUARA YANG DIDUGA GATOT NURMANTYO

(Title: A Forensic Linguistic Study Case: Hoax of Recorded Voice Who Was Allegedly From Gatot Nurmantyo). This study aimed to describe the comparison between languages on Gatot Nurmantyo's Similar Voice Sample (SVS) recording with language on Gatot Nurmantyo's Original Voice Sample (OVS) recordings. The data source were one SVS record and three OVS records (OVS01—OVS03). Data were collected through observation, copying, and recording. The instrument for data collection was in the form of human, researcher himself with the recording devices and stationery. The analysis was carried out comprehensively with a review of various aspects including Phonology, Sociolinguistics, Discourse, and Stylistics. The results of the study were as follows. First, there were significant differences between languages on SVS and language on all three OVS recordings in terms of Sociolinguistic, Discourse and Stylistic aspects. Second, on the Phonological aspect there was a tendency for the similarities between language on the SVS recording and language on all three OVS recordings in several parts including the duration of word utterance, the energy intensity of the word utterance, and the sound of the words. Therefore, it could be concluded that on a Classical Likelihood Scales, the SVS and OVS recordings were not from the same speaker. Keywords: forensic linguistic, comprehensive, recording, Praat

AUDIOVISUAL MEANS IN THE PROCESS OF TEACHING RUSSIAN LANGUAGE AS FOREIGN LANGUAGE

The purpose of the research is elucidation of audiovisual media in the process of teaching Russian language as a foreign language. The task of the work is to study the existing types of audiovisual means of training; analysis of the possibilities of using audiovisual means as a modern type of training. The object of the research is audiovisual media, through which while learning of the Russian language as a foreign language appropriate mastering of the material is carried out. Descriptive method and method of analysis of intelligence information are used. As a result of the research, the main methodological aspects of work with audiovisual means of education on Russian as foreign language lessons were highlighted. Conclusions: 1. The key stages of the work are chosen according to the scheme «task – viewing a film – task». 2. The task before watching a movie involves analyzing information about the movie. 3. The tasks after watching a movie include exercises on understanding of the content, as well as the consolidation and introduction of the new vocabulary in the broadcast. 4. The broadcast of feature films has both an emotional effect, and serves as an impetus for activating an additional stimulus in the next educational, practical, and creative activity. The analysis made it possible for us to determine that the film's review must include the appropriate purpose, everyday situations, clear dialogues, in which repetitive words and phrases that occur on the film repeatedly help to better remember the new vocabulary and as a result – the development of speech activity students The ability to compare read and seen causes excessive interest of students and activates them into cognitive activity. The feature film is not a universal admission, but it has certain prerogatives: it provides work of educational value, which helps in the process of intensive language proficiency; suppresses the psychological potential of the student (development of attention, memory, thinking); promotes the interconnection of various types of speech activity; takes into account peculiarities of language usage in various stylistic aspects, etc.

Estilo e tipos de discurso na reportagem do gênero revista eletrônica

A escolha de um gênero está entre as etapas iniciais do processo de criação textual e está intimamente ligada ao desenvolvimento do estilo individual do autor. Enunciados trazem cargas maiores ou menores de expressividade e entonação de acordo com o gênero adotado, uma vez que alguns são mais propícios do que outros ao estilo individual. Neste artigo iremos analisar trechos de uma reportagem de televisão, do gênero Revista Eletrônica, a fim de identificar recursos de linguagem que revelem as intenções do agir comunicacional e seus efeitos expressivos. Empregaremos duas bases teóricas distintas a fim de comparar seus aspectos dissonantes e complementares, observando aspectos estilísticos conforme esquema comunicacional de Jakobson (1969) e também a classificação segundo os tipos de discurso do quadro criado por Bronckart (2003). Seguiremos o conceito de gênero definido pelo interacionismo sócio-discursivo. Utilizaremos metodologia empírico indutiva, observando as particularidades do texto para verificar possíveis padrões. Pretendemos relacionar características predominantes e secundárias verificando seu alinhamento com as premissas do gênero e dos traços de estilo individual. Apontaremos para a multiplicidade de funções e intenções do enunciado que se sobrepõem de maneira hierárquica, mas, dificilmente, se encaixam por completo em fórmulas engessadas.

Egorova, L. Equivocation in ‘Macbeth’: The speech nature of the tragedy

Egorova, L. (2018). Equivocation in ‘Macbeth’: The speech nature of the tragedy. Vologda: VoGU. 164 p. The review focuses on equivocation in its linguistic, stylistic, historical, cultural, religious, and ideological aspects, and discusses its evolution from a rhetorical device to a concept replete with controversial connotations. The paper mentions the essential (and very scarce) bibliography on the subject, relevant for understanding not only Shakespeare's work, but also the Jacobean era, the repercussions of the religious reforms in England, and the development of European philosophy in general. The review devotes a lot of attention to the versatility of Egorova's monograph, which successfully distinguished nuances of the semantics, representation, and pragmatism of equivocation in Shakespeare. A special emphasis is placed on allusions, both literary and historical; on the author's in-depth analysis of the (im)possibility of translation of certain words in different contexts of Macbeth, and the role of equivocation in interpreting the tragedy. Also covered by the monograph are two other burning issues of Shakespeare studies: the author's religious affiliation and the date of Macbeth’s creation.
