Corpora in Translator Education: An Introduction
No full textThe use of corpora to verify how words are used in context can be particularly useful in areas of languages for special purposes (LSPs) and terminology. The very possibility of examining terms in texts that deal with the subject matter under discussion makes it easier for the terminologist - and also the translator - to understand the concepts behind the terms used. The chapter focuses on efforts made to find and use text corpora in English and Portuguese to further terminology work in various areas, the problems that arise and how they can, or cannot, be solved. Collecting parallel corpora means acquiring both original texts and their translations in electronic form. Comparable corpora are ‘collections of individual monolingual corpora’ which use ‘the same or similar sampling procedures and categories for each language but contain completely different texts’
STREAmS-2.0: Supersonic turbulent accelerated Navier-Stokes solver version 2.0
No full textWe present STREAmS-2.0, an updated version of the flow solver STREAmS, first introduced in Bernardini et al. (2021) [1]. STREAmS-2.0 has an object-oriented design which separates the physics equations from the specific back-end, making the code more suitable for future expansions, such as porting to novel computing architectures or implementation of additional flow physics. Similarly to the previous version, STREAmS-2.0 supports NVIDIA-GPU and CPU back-ends. Additionally, this version features improvements of the input/output data management, new energy and entropy preserving schemes for the discretization of the convective fluxes, recycling/rescaling inflow boundary condition, and a model for thermally perfect gases with variable specific heats. New version program summary: Program Title: STREAmS CPC Library link to program files: https://doi.org/10.17632/hdcgjpzr3y.2 Developer's repository link: https://github.com/STREAmS-CFD/STREAmS-2 Licensing provisions: GPLv3 Programming language: Fortran, CUDA Journal reference of previous version: M. Bernardini, D. Modesti, F. Salvadore, and S. Pirozzoli. STREAmS: a high-fidelity accelerated solver for direct numerical simulation of compressible turbulent flows. Comput. Phys. Commun. 263 (2021) 107906. Does the new version supersede the previous version?: Yes. Reasons for the new version: New code structure and release of new features. Summary of revisions: • The original solver [1] has been rewritten following an object-oriented design implemented through Fortran derived types that include variables and type bound procedures. The new software architecture has been designed to increase modularity and extensibility of the code, allowing users to add new back-ends and physics equations while maintaining the same code structure. This allows users to reuse portions of the code that are independent of the physics equations, the back-end, or both. The layer of computing procedures maintains a lean structure that can be highly optimized with respect to the implemented back-end. • Input handling is now based on the classic.ini format improving both user readability and input data management. • A family of new kinetic energy and entropy preserving schemes (KEEP) are now available and can be selected for stable, non-dissipative and accurate spatial discretization of the convective terms of the Navier–Stokes equations in smooth flow regions [2]. Concerning the shock-capturing flux, the improved low-dissipative WENO-Z scheme proposed by [3] is now available. • New inflow boundary conditions based on the recycling/rescale approach [4] have been implemented for the simulation of spatially evolving compressible turbulent boundary layers. Moreover, a new inflow condition based on the solution of the compressible Blasius equation is available to take into account the case of laminar boundary layers. • The constitutive relations have been generalized to take into account thermally perfect gases with variable specific heats, approximated with polynomial functions of the temperature that can be specified by the user [5]. • A new stretching function has been implemented to improve the distribution of grid nodes for the computation of wall-bounded turbulent flows. The formulation blends uniform near-wall spacing with uniform resolution in terms of Kolmogorov units in the outer wall layer, guaranteeing accuracy with higher computational efficiency [6]. Nature of problem: The code solves the compressible Navier–Stokes equations in Cartesian coordinates for a thermally perfect gas. The solver is designed for direct numerical simulation (DNS) of compressible supersonic turbulent boundary layers and various canonical configurations are supported, including turbulent channel flow, laminar and turbulent boundary layer and shock-wave/boundary layer interaction. Solution method: The equations are discretized using high-order finite difference approximations with hybrid low-dissipative/shock-capturing capabilities and the time advancement is performed using a Runge–Kutta scheme.

Barezzo Barezzi czy Antonio Possevino? Uwagi dotyczące autorstwa : Relatione della segnalata e come miracolosa conquista del Paterno Imperio conseguita dal Serenissimo Giovine Demetrio Gran Duca di Moscovia, in questo anno 1605 (Venezia 1605)
No full textRelatione della segnalata e come miracolosa conquista del Paterno Imperio conseguita dal Serenissimo Giovine Demetrio Gran duca di Moscovia, in questo anno 1605 (...), published in Venice in 1605 by the printer Barezzo Barezzi, achieved a unique literary success during the 17th century. Thanks to the translation made by the Spanish Jesuit, Juan Mosquera, it became the basis of the plot of theatrical plays by Lope de Vega (1617), Enrique Suárez de Mendoza y Figueroa (1629), a source of inspiration for La vida es sueño by Calderon de la Barca and for ‘the tragic story’ Il Demetrio Moscovita by Majolino Bisaccioni (1649).
The biographers of Barezzo Barezzi ascribe the authorship of the work to him, but in 1827 Sebastiano Ciampi, and then Paul Pierling (1900) accepted the view that it was Father An- tonio Possevino who was the real author of the text. Confirma- tion of this hypothesis may be found in several texts, such as the letter in which Possevino, in 1606, dedicated the volume Cultura ingeniorum Cultura ingeniorum (Balsamo, 1986, 1990), or in Condoglienza di Stanislao Przvvoski Lublinense studente in Padova, col P. Antonio Possevino Giesuita, published in the same year in Padua (Bernardini, 2005), to the alleged Dimitrij Ivan(ow). Among the sources of Relatione we should highlight the ‘news’ sent to the Vatican by the Apostolic Nuncio, Claudio Rangoni, dated from Krakow on November the 1st, 1603.
The Relatione also includes information, unconfirmed else- where, that the alleged carevič [the alleged tsar’s son], before his appearance at the court of Prince Adam Wiśniowiecki in the autumn of 1603, served in the kitchen of the Hojski(s). We could hypothesize that this detail was added by Barezzi, an ex- pert and translator of Spanish picaresque literature, were it not that we find the same also in an anonymous text of an undated manuscript, which is one of the sources of Relatione. Further evidence for the authorship by Possevino could be a remark made by Demetrius about the imprisonment of the Polish king Sigismund III Vasa in his youth, along with his father John of Finland, on the orders of his uncle, Eric. The information, of which the young carevič could not know, was in all probability introduced into the text of the speech by Antonio Possevino, an envoy of Gregory XIII to John III in 1577, when only 10 years had elapsed since the release of the Duke of Finland
Una “Fatalità tedesca”. Il pensiero nazionalbolscevico di Ernst Niekisch nella critica al nazionalsocialismo (1932)
No full textThis article’s aim is to analyze the critique of National Socialism, carried on by Ernst Niekisch (1889-1967) in a pamphlet, published in 1932, with the title Hitler-ein deutsches Verhängnis [Hitler- a German fatality]. His analysis of National Socialism has been considered very interesting because of two strictly connected reasons. In fact, not only it is based on the particular statement about the “bourgeois” and “western” nature of Hitler’s movement, but also it allows to understand the main features of National Bolshevism. In other words, criticizing National Socialism, Niekisch also draws the theoretical lines characterizing that politically and culturally heterogeneous movement, whose the author was a reference point and leading spokesperson, even if sometimes harshly contested. The article, moreover, gives a brief account of this National Bolshevik intellectual’s life and political commitment and it tries to take stock of the complex historiographical debate about his thought, touching on the role played by Niekisch’s analysis as far as some groups, belonging to the radical right in the Post-Second World War, are concerned

A different antifascism. An analysis of the Rise of Nazism as seen by anarchists during the Weimar period
No full textThe article examines some thoughts on the rise of National Socialism by Rudolf Rocker and Gerhard Wartenberg, two figures of fundamental significance in the anarchism of the Weimar Republic, militant in the anarcho-syndicalist Freie Arbeiter Union Deutschlands (FAUD), active from 1919 to 1933. A systematic reading of the period's anarchist press, in particular of the weekly ‘Der Syndikalist’ and the monthly ‘Die Internationale’ will show that their rejection of Hitler was based on the theoretical principles of anarchism and a criticism of the authoritarian outcomes of the Russian Revolution, suggesting a substantial affinity between communism and fascism. This topic, recurrent in the international anarchist press between the two wars, confirms the intrinsic plurality of anti-fascism and the impossibility of identifying it completely with communism, and anticipates conceptually the later adoption of the notion of totalitarianism. The article thus retraces the pluralist and many-sided concept of Nazism formulated by Rocker and Wartenberg, a concept that found its place in a European perspective and took into consideration political, economic, cultural and psychological aspects
