THE TRANSLATOR-INTERPRETER EXPERIENTIAL COMPLEX IN THE CONTEXT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF SYNCHRONIC LEXICOLOGY. COVIDIDIOMA IN EUROPEAN AND LATINAMERICAN SPANISH AFTER THE FIRST YEAR OF THE PANDEMIC
Get PDFThis paper offers insights into the analysis of the Spanish language lexis associated with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic and the correlated COVID-19 disease within the translator-interpreter experiential complex. The analysis is based on synchronic lexicology during the first and most dynamic year of the pandemic. With the onset of the need to name new realities, situations, or objects, the lexis, as a highly dynamic part of living language, has produced a myriad of neologisms and nonce words, the development and use of which we review. The article comments on the origin and use of some of the most important lexemes that accompanied the COVID-19 pandemic in its early days and is focused on the word-formation processes of composition and derivation within the lexis of the language and their products. The study also illustrates, through graphs, the increased need to communicate new realities, thus underlining the importance of following the changes in vocabulary. Among other things, this paper also explains the processes of intellectualisation and internationalisation of the language, as well as the determinologisation and deneologisation of lexical units and their further shifts within the vocabulary structure. In hindsight, the dynamic nature of the reactions within the most variable part of a living language reminds us of the importance of cultivating the experiential complex, systematising knowledge, and expanding and consolidating the vocabulary of translators and interpreters
MULTILINGUALISM AS A CURRENT SOCIAL ISSUE IN NEUROSCIENCE

LINGUISTIC LANDSCAPE IN THE CONTEXT OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING
Get PDFThe objective of the present paper is to point out the possibilities of using the concept of Linguistic Landscape in foreign language teaching at universities, secondary schools as well as primary schools. The approach highlights the city/town/municipality as a natural place where several languages coexist in a real space being in accordance with foreign language teaching, which is aimed at encouraging plurilingualism. Practical application of LL is carried out respecting the plurilingualism of geographically determined units, as well as individual learners while emphasing the holistic development of the learner´s personality using both inquiry-based and experience-based learning
