Women Characters in Daniel Defoe's Novels "Roxana" and "Moll Flanders"
No full textBakalaura darba mērķis ir analizēt sieviešu tēlus Daniela Defo populārākajos romānos- „Mola Flandersa” un „Roksana”. Lai sasniegtu mērķi, darba autors analizē minētos romānus un teorētisko literatūru. Zinātniski pētnieciskajā darbā raksturotas katra romāna īpatnības, pētīts gan autora Defo viedoklis, gan mūsdienu feministu viedoklis par romānā tēlotajām sievietēm.
Mola un Roksana pārstāv tipiskas tā laika vidusslāņa sievietes ar tieksmi pēc bagātības. Varones atšķiras ar to, ka Mola pieliek visas pūles, lai nodibinātu laimīgu ģimeni, turpretī Roksanai šīs vērtības nav būtiskas. Lasot šos darbus, 18.gadsimta sievietes Anglijā atpazina sevi Molas un Roksanas tēlos.
Bakalaura darba autors secina, ka Mola un Roksana ir stipra rakstura sievietes, kas spējīgas cīnīties par sevi. Daniela Defo darbi pierāda, ka sievietēm ir tādas pašas tiesības kā vīriešiem, un viņas ir pelnījušas līdzvērtīgu attieksmi.The goal of the present Bachelor Paper is to investigate women character in Daniel Defoe’s famous novels - „ Moll Flanders” and „Roxana”. In order to achieve the aim, the author analyzes the above mentioned novels together with the corresponding theoretical sources. The research paper illustrates the peculiarities of each novel in detail and compares them from Defoe’s perspective as well as in the light of feminist ideas. Moll and Roxana personify typical middle-class women with an ordinary aspiration to grow rich and be loved; their difference lies in the fact that Moll strives to create a happy family, but Roxana, on the contrary, tries all ways to avoid it. Hence, re-reading these pieces of writing, women of the eighteenth century England recognized themselves in Moll and Roxana. The BA degree seeker concludes that Moll and Roxana are strong women with character, able to struggle for their rights and freedom of speech, proving that women are equal to men and deserve respectfulness in relations

The Dual Narrative in Daniel Defoe’s Roxana: Sign and Representation
No full textDefoe’s Roxana corresponds to the spatial-temporal reality of the beginning of the eighteenth century. Nevertheless, Defoe’s novels have a more complex vision towards the wor(l)d than it appears at first sight. Daniel Chandler contends that through studying semiotics we learn that: “we live in a world of signs and we have no way of understanding anything except through signs and the codes into which they are organized.”
[1] The aim of this paper is to map different strategies through which the narrator on behalf of the author appropriates a myriad of signs articulated by a female protagonist. The exploration of the ethic and the aesthetic patterns in Roxana accounts for a postmodern reading of the sign. This dual narrative of the sign is scrutinized through its representation of a real life-experience in a world of fiction. It suggests an elusive and an ambiguous relationship between the sign and its representation, between the sign genesis and its ethos. Though the sign seem to be predetermined by the cultural norms, it is re-appropriated to deconstruct its constructed referent. This crystallization of the rapport between the sign and its representation probes on how their conception and reception are intertwine

Making international mobility student-friendly: a linguistically embedded assessment of higher education internationalisation strategies
No full text[EN] Internationalisation is a desired goal for contemporary universities, which are increasingly using concepts like cultural diversity or globalism as selling points to attract students. However, these concepts are not always clearly defined in terms of underlying values and lived experience. We used a corpus linguistics approach to extract university descriptors of the term ‘internationalisation’. For that purpose, we compiled the INTER corpus (Corpus of Internationalisation Terminology in Higher Education Institutions in Europe), which includes texts extracted from the websites of 50 European Universities. We analyse the lexical profile of the tokens semantically connected to the concept of ‘internationalisation’. To verify whether the advertised concepts of internationalisation match the lived experience of the students, we use a second corpus, LIVIT (Corpus of Lived Internationalisation Experiences), which includes 300 testimonies of student mobility. All data and analyses capture the pre-COVID situation and are intended to inform the post-COVID university policymaking. Ivan, O.; Bercuci, L.; Chitez, M.; Rogobete, R.; Dinca, A. (2022).

POSITIVE EXPRESSIVE SPEECH ACTS COMPLIMENTING AND SELF - COMPLI MENTING IN THE NOVEL CIOCOII VECHI Ș I NOI
No full textThe present paper aims at analysing some specific aspects regarding the functioning of compliment and self - compliment - speec h acts belonging to the category of positively perceived expressives - in a literary text, Nicolae Filimon‟s novel “ Ciocoii vechi şi noi ” 1 . The purpose of the paper is to highlight the role of these subtypes of speech acts in contouring a human typology cha racterized by a specific relational system. The following parameters are taken into account: the environment in which the speech acts are produced, the target addressees, the object of the speech acts (concrete or abstract, moral or physical features of th e addressee) and the value ( inherently positive or attributed by the speaker) of the elements that mark the illocutionary force as positive. In the novel under consideration, there is a dichotomy between the characters with high moral qualities and the par venus – a social type definitory for the Phanariot times. Author‟s intention is to emphasize the victory of good and healthy moral principles
