This lexis is divided into three groups: referentially nonequivalent, pragmatically nonequivalent, alternatively nonequivalent. The author emphasizes the fact that the nonequivalent lexis can cause serious difficulties during translation and it requires specific approaches
Legal interpreters in the news in Ireland
No full textThis article consists of a review of court reports from national and provincial newspapers in Ireland from 2003 to 1st August 2010. The reports provide an insight into the attitudes of judges, lawyers and police officers to defendants who are not proficient in English. The issue of defendants’ proficiency in English is a recurrent one. Coverage suggests that interpreters are not always provided in police stations or in the courts and that some judges continue to allow friends and family members to act as interpreters. Meanwhile, some solicitors consistently request interpreters for their clients. Other salient issues are cost, interpreter competency and interpreter ethics

On Concept of “Church Lexis”
No full textCurrently, the words from religious and church spheres undergo scientific and linguistic understanding, but when interpreting these units the researchers use different approaches. The variety of points of view can be explained by the complexity of the subject of scientific research, the level of understanding of the scope and content of the term “church”, the differences in material brought to the analysis, the sources of material, and others. The variety of approaches necessitates theoretical generalizations on the concept of “church lexis”. This is the relevance of the description made in this article. Drawing on the work of scientists, the author describes two approaches to the understanding of the term church lexis. The first approach involves the consideration of the church sphere units within the scope of religious lexis, the second involves their consideration as an independent group of words (in this case the distinction between the concepts of “church lexis” and “religious lexis” is made). The author refers to the review of the thematic classifications of church vocabulary, which are offered in dictionaries and dissertations, published and presented in the first decade of the XXI century. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that during the consideration of the scope and content of the term church lexis the important features are defined that allow to distinguish the units of religious and church spheres and conclude that the “Church” lexical sphere combines the lexemes that represent a fragment of a religious worldviewВ настоящее время слова религиозно-церковной сферы подвергаются научно-лингвистическому осмыслению, однако при интерпретации этих единиц исследователи придерживаются разных подходов. Многообразие точек зрения можно объяснить сложностью предмета научного изыскания, степенью осмысления объема и содержания понятия «церковь», различиями в материале, привлекаемом к анализу, в источниках материала и др. Разнообразие подходов обусловливает необходимость теоретических обобщений относительно понятия «церковная лексика». В этом состоит актуальность описания, предпринятого в данной статье. Опираясь на работы ученых, автор характеризует два подхода в понимании термина церковная лексика. Первый подход предполагает рассмотрение единиц церковной сферы в рамках религиозной лексики, второй - как самостоятельной группы слов (в последнем случае подразумевается различение понятий «церковная лексика» и «религиозная лексика»). Автор обращается к обзору тематических классификаций церковной лексики, которые предлагаются в словарях и диссертациях, опубликованных и защищенных в первом десятилетии XXI века. Новизна исследования заключается в том, что в ходе рассмотрения объема и содержания термина церковная лексика определяются сущностные признаки, позволяющие разграничить единицы религиозной и церковной сферы и сделать вывод о том, что лексическая сфера «Церковь» объединяет лексемы, которые репрезентируют фрагмент религиозной картины мир

The museum’s lexis: Driving objects into ideas
No full textThis article discusses how exhibition making can be seen as a creative method for building anthropological knowledge. Situations of conflict between social classes, curatorial practices and disciplines remind us of the existence of a very subtle and enduring museum lexis which governs how political ideas are put on display. Research was conducted in tandem with an exhibition the author curated in the National Museum of the Romanian Peasant 21 years after the collapse of the communist regime in South-Eastern Europe. Reflecting upon this process, the author shows how museums use a specific lexis that is based not only on existing practices but also on contingency. These facets each engage two different notions of temporality: while practice involves repetitiveness, predictability and continuity over different historical periods, contingency creates unexpected groupings of things, settings and meanings. It is the balance of the interplay between practice and contingency that dictates how the audience engages with museum discourse
Dīcendī Lexis in Homer's Epic "Iliad"
No full textBakalaura darba „Dīcendī leksika Homēra eposā „Īliada”” mērķis ir izpētīt dīcendī leksikas semantiku un funkcionējumu Homēra eposā „Īliada”.
Mērķa sasniegšanai tiek apzinātas antīko un mūsdienu teorētiķu atziņas par episkās izteiksmes iezīmēm, apkopots vārda semantiskais un runas iedalījums. Klasificējot eposā sastopamo dīcendī leksiku no oriģinālteksta, pirmkārt, tiek pētīts tiešs vārda nozīmes lietojums, kas iedalās neitrālā un ekspresīvā vārda izpausmē, otrkārt, tiek analizēti gadījumi, kad runas darbība tiek atklāta netieši – gan ar vārda nozīmes pārnesumiem, gan aprakstoši norādot par runāšanu.
Darba gaitā tiek izpētīts, kā eposā funkcionē dīcendī leksikas darbības vārdi, lietvārdi un īpašības vārdi, kuri tekstā sastopami gan kā atsevišķas leksēmas, gan vārdu savienojumos un formulveida frāzēs. Izpētes procesā atklāts, ka dīcendī leksika ir nozīmīgs līdzeklis, lai radītu runas situācijai atbilstošu noskaņu, piešķirtu tekstam izteiksmību, raksturotu runātāju, ietekmētu un pārliecinātu gan eposa personāžus, gan darba adresātu.
Atslēgvārdi: dīcendī leksika, semantika, funkcijas, neitralitāte, ekspresija, konteksts.The aim of the bachelor’s thesis “Dīcendī lexis in Homer’s epic “Iliad”” is to explore the semantic and functioning aspects of dīcendī lexis in Homer's epic "Iliad".
To achieve the goal the author studied conclusions of ancient and contemporary theorists about epic expression, semantic of a word and speech classification also is summarized. During the process of classifying dīcendī lexis from the original text, first of all literal meaning of the word is examined which is subdivided in neutral and expressive manifestation of a word. Secondly episodes in which speech act is revealed indirectly - through figurative meaning of a word and descriptively indicating speaking process - are analysed.
The thesis explores functions of dīcendī lexis verbs, nouns and adjectives which in the text are used as individual lexemes, in word combinations and in reapeated formulas. Research process revealed that dīcendī lexis is an important means of creating appropriate atmosphere for the particular speech situation, to add an expressivness to the text, to describe the speaker, to manipulate and persuade the characters in the epic as well as text addressee.
Keywords: dīcendī lexis, semantics, functions, neutrality, expression, context

First Studies of the Slavonic-Serbian Lexis
No full textThe paper deals with the first studies of the Slavonic-Serbian lexis. Although beginnings in the study of the Slavonic-Serbian language, including the lexis of the given period, are tied to the 1960s, Serbian linguistic scholars often disregard the fact that research had occured even before. In relation to this, the author puts emphasis on the positions and thoughts on the Slavonic-Serbian lexis of these first linguists, as well as first literary critics and historians during the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. Special attention is given to their relationship to the non-popular lexis – lexical slavisms, on the one hand, and to foreign and loan words coming from non-Slavic languages, on the other hand.У раду се анализирају прва проучавања славеносрпске лексике. Иако се почетак истраживања славеносрпског језика, самим тим и лексике наведеног периода, везује за шездесете године 20. века, у србистици се често пренебрегава чињеница да је оваквих испитивања бивало и раније. С тим у вези, циљ овог рада је да се истакну ставови и промишљања о славеносрпској лексици како првих лингвиста тако и првих књижевних критичара и историчара књижевности током 19. и с почетка 20. века. Посебна пажња посвећена је односу према ненародној лексици – лексичким славенизмима, с једне стране, и туђицама и позајмљеницама из несловенских језика с друге стране
