Ever since it was published, Margaret Atwood's Hag-Seed (2016) has been scrutinized for its peculiar engagements with the Shakespearean pretext at the cross-section of various discourses, from literary and media studies, through drama pedagogy, even to prison studies. Drawing on the prison metaphor from the original and recontextualizing it as a co...

The study focuses on the peculiar challenges raised by rendering one of Tibor Zalán’s plays into Romanian. We shall take into account the linguistic, aesthetic, and conceptual differences that might emerge in the Romanian translation as compared to its original. The theoretical part of the research is built upon the idea that translation implies “r...

Both in the theoretical framework of applied linguistics and empirical studies, second language acquisition is either examined within the universalist postulation of an innate language acquisition device or it is discussed in a pluralist manner featuring the great variety of language-specific influences. The present paper focuses on the latter issu...

Prezentarea de față își propune să observe eforturile făcute în lingvistică spre a afla dacă baza de articulație este un concept viabil, util și dacă—mai presus de orice—reflectă realitatea. Întrucît, după știința noastră, cea mai bună dezvoltare a conceptului se petrece în spațiul științific românesc, prin A. Philippide și G. Ivănescu, vom încerca...

The aim of the present discussion is to observe the various endeavours undertaken in linguistics to discern whether the basis of articulation is a viable and useful concept and—above all—whether or not it reflects reality. Since as far as we know the most fruitful development of this very notion is accomplished within Romanian scientific milieu, by...

The translation of linguistic and culture-bound proper names has always been one of the most challenging aspects of rendering literary works. Thus, the present paper aims, at the one hand, at listing and interpreting the appellatives of animal characters in a peculiar Romanian version of the pseudo-Homeric Batrachomyomachia (The Battle of Frogs and...

The present paper aims to contribute to researches on old Romanian translations, examined from the perspective of translation studies. In this respect, the pursued objective is to set up a typology of inserts and omissions found in the Romanian translation of the catechism printed in 1648, taking into account the main causes which generated them. T...

Studiul de față este menit a contribui la cercetările asupra vechilor traduceri românești, privite din perspectivă traductologică. În acest sens, finalitatea urmărită o constituie aceea de a configura o tipologie a inserturilor și a omisiunilor observabile în traducerea românească a catehismului din 1648, plecîndu-se de la cauzele care le-au genera...

Translation has always been important for religion as a way of preaching God's word. The first Romanian translations of religious texts, including the first (although incomplete) translation of the Bible, date from the sixteenth century. In this early period of Romanian writing, Romanian translators encountered several problems in conveying the mea...

Studiul de față se înscrie pe direcția actualizării în lingvistica românească a teoriilor privitoare la interferențele lingvistice (româno-maghiare) manifestate în unele comunități bilingve și a cercetării particularităților lexicale pătrunse în limba română scrisă prin influența graiurilor maghiare vorbite în diferite zone ale țării sau chiar prin...

The present study joins the series of works aiming to bring up to date, within Romanian linguistics, the theories concerning (Romanian-Hungarian) linguistic interferences manifested in bilingual communities and the research of lexical properties which have entered the Romanian written language either by the influence of the Hungarian dialects, spok...
