Darba mērķis ir veikt komparatīvo, kvalitatīvo un kvantitatīvo analīzi korpusam, kas sastāv no četrām grupām – īpašvārdi, reālijas, metaforas un idiomas, franču-latviešu valodu kombinācijā, lai noskaidrotu, kuras stratēģijas ir vispiemērotākās to tulkošanai.

Framing Issues in The Specialised Discourse Of Diplomacy: A Quantitative and Qualitative Approach
2017
Relevant international issues, such as terrorism, immigration, climate change, human security, cybersecurity and so on, imply the construction of complex ideological and axiological discursive positions, which stem from a web of unavoidably superimposed emotional and moral evaluations, often interwoven with logical observations (Spinzi 2016). All transactions whether promoting ideologies and values or selling products are a way of profiting from the general representation of a nation, and strategic communication contributes to this by increasing appreciation and influencing people’s behaviour. Embracing the perspective that transformations in social life are led by discourse (Fairclough, 20…
Prospective mathematics teachers’ self-referential metaphors as indicators of the emerging professional identity
2019
Ideals play a key role in a student teachers’ identity work. They form targets to strive for and a mirror for reflection. In this paper, we examine Finnish mathematics student teachers’ metaphors for the teacher’s role (N= 188). We classified the metaphors according to a model that identified teachers as subject matter experts, didactical experts, and pedagogical experts, with the addition of another two categories, self-referential and contextual. For the exploration of emerging professional identities, we studied the self-referential metaphors, which formed the most common category in the data. We observed that every third metaphor described either student teachers’ personalities or their…
Metaphorical dimension of idioms in TV series for German, Norwegian and Spanish audiences
2022
Over recent years, internet TV series have grown in popularity to become one of the audiovisual products with the highest audiences worldwide. The Covid crisis, with limitations on movement, has further increased their success during 2020-21. English is by far the most common language for such productions, which are typically offered to non-anglophone viewers in translated format, with either subtitles or dubbing. One of the main challenges in translation here concerns the use of idioms, since these do not always have a fixed equivalent in the target language. Taking as a starting point a corpus of drama series from Netflix and Amazon Prime, this study considers the metaphorical dimension o…

2015
Bakalaura darbā tiek pētīts konceptuālo metaforu lietojums rakstos par jauniem un maziem uzņēmumiem. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir identificēt, kā metaforas funkcionē rakstos par jauniem un maziem uzņēmumiem. Bakalaura darbā autors apskata metaforu veidus un konceptuālās metaforas, žurnālistikas žanru un rakstus par jauniem un maziem uzņēmumiem, kā arī Bakalaura analizē konceptuālās metaforas, kas izmantotas rakstos par jauniem un maziem uzņēmumiem divos tiešsaistes avotos. Izejot no praktiskās daļas pētījumiem, autors secina, ka metaforu skaits rakstos par jauniem un maziem uzņēmumiem ir atšķirīgs – dažos rakstos ir vairāk vārdu, bet mazāk metaforu, kamēr citos rakstos ir mazāk vārdu, bet vair…
Language, Law and Food
2023
The language of law has been traditionally characterized by an extreme technicism and the use of a specific jargon whose comprehension is considered a prerogative of legal professionals. The situation is gradually changing. There is a general trend to make law more understandable to non-lawyers and to the normal people in general. This implies the use of a different, more colloquial, kind of language, that could be more familiar to ordinary people. On the other side, food today is no longer what humans eat to calm hunger, but has become an object of research, elaborations, and contaminations, an expression of the different world cultures and a social phenomenon. The links between food and l…

<p>In public space there is the information, that is always designed with a specific purpose. For example, signposts are placed to provide direction guidance and to highlight some of the most important objects.

To achieve the expected objective the authors of signs often use the eye-catching texts that differ from linguistic and para-linguistic means, such a…
