THE ROLE OF SEMANTIC BORROWING IN THE FORMATION OF ECONOMIC TERMS

2014

Specialized terms can result from a number of semantic processes (e.g. meaning extension, meaning narrowing, meaning transfer), which affect words from the general vocabulary. In their turn, these processes can be language internal and take place in the absence of any influence from the outside, or can be triggered by the importation of new things, ideas, etc from another culture and the contact with the language of this culture. The present paper analyses the way in which the worldwide influence English is exerting today has led to the creation of new words in the Romanian vocabulary of business and economics. Our sole focus of attention is constituted by semantic borrowing, or the importa…

Functions of the translation factor eIF5A in cellular metabolism and transcriptional control

2023

El factor de inicio de traducción de eucariotas 5A (eIF5A) es una proteína esencial y conservada con funciones en las tres fases de la traducción. eIF5A está codificado por dos genes parálogos, TIF51A/TIF51B y EIF5A1/EIF5A2 en levadura y humanos respectivamente. eIF5A es la única proteína que contiene hipusina, una modificación esencial para su actividad, y se une a los ribosomas para facilitar la traducción de motivos con prolinas consecutivas o combinaciones de prolina con glicina y aminoácidos cargados. eIF5A participa en otras funciones y procesos como exporte de mRNAs nucleares, proliferación y apoptosis. Su asociación con enfermades como el cáncer es de interés. En esta tesis se han u…

Multilingualism, Lingua Franca or What?

2017

For this 10th anniversary issue we are very fortunate to have two extremely engaging conversations. They are both frank discussions on the state of the art of translation and its relevance today. We open with Henry Liu, recently President of the International Federation of Translators and close with a conversation between renowned scholars Susan Bassnett and Anthony Pym, who muse - over a glass or two - about the monster that is called ‘translation’.

"Somers Town". Multilingual settings explored in audiovisual translation contexts

2018

In the last decades advances in digital communication and audiovisual translation studies have significantly transformed the ways by which texts and people travel across linguistic, spatial and temporal boundaries. This is particularly evident in the everchanging landscape of audiovisual translation as a consequence of the digital revolution that has contributed to the creation of new forms of adaptation and proliferation of mediated and non-mediated products. The case of multilingual discourse applied to contemporary diasporic and migrant films, in which sociolinguistics intervenes as a methodological approach to the translation of marginal voices, has gained scholarly attention as a resul…

Latviešu–angļu mašīntulkošanas optimizācija

2018

Pēdējo gadu laikā notikusī straujā dziļās mašīnmācīšanās attīstība ir ļāvusi attīstīties arī mašīntulkošanas nozarei. Lai palīdzētu uzņēmējiem apgūt starptautiskos tirgus un ļautu datortehnikas lietotājiem izmantot tehnoloģijas dzimtajā valodā, ir svarīgi attīstīt latviešu valodas mašīntulkošanas tehnoloģijas. Šajā darbā aprakstīti neirontulkošanas darbības principi un latviešu valodas morfoloģiskās īpatnības. Identificētas metodes, kas pašlaik sniedz labākos rezultātus latviešu valodas tulkošanā. Papildus tam ir veikti eksperimenti ar neirontulkošanas sistēmu trenēšanu un optimizāciju latviešu valodas tulkošanai. Darbā tiek aprakstīts jauns latviešu valodas vārdu segmentācijas algoritms, k…

Neoloģija jauno tehnoloģiju jomā spāņu valodā

2017

Maģista darbs ir veltīts neoloģijai jauno tehnologīju jomā. Darba mērķis ir apzināt neoloģismus tekstos, kas attiecas uz jano tehnoloģiju jomu, klasificēt tos, noteikt neoloģismu tipoloģiju un vārdu darināšanas paņēmienus. Lai saisniegtu izvirzīto mērķi, tika izmantotas sekojošās pētījuma metodes: kvalitatīvā metpdes, kas paredz zinātniskās literatūras kritisko analīzi par neoloģiju, kā arī salīdzinošā metode, aprakstošā un kvantitatīvā datu analīze. Empīriskajā daļā tika analizēti teksti no bilingvālā korpusa, kā arī jau esošie vārdu glosāriji. Pētījuma rezultāti pierāda, ka neoloģismi is bieži sastopami jauno tehnoloģiju jomā, lai atspoguļotu jaunus procesus vai produktus. Visbiežāk sasto…

In the present world International tourism is one of the most quickly and dynamically developing sectors of economy. In the year 2012 - for the first time in the history of humankind - international tourist arrivals exceeded one billion tourists globally; and within merely 20 years’ time, i.e. between 1995 and 2015, the number of people travelling abroad as tourists more than doubled. The phenomenon also refers to the inbound tourism in Poland - with more than 16 million international tourists who visited our country in 2015. Obviously, on the one hand, the fact is highly beneficial for the country's international prestige and economy, but on the other hand, it does create certain challenge…

Rescuing CFTR Protein Function: 1,3,4-oxadiazoles versus 1,2,4-oxadiazoles as readthrough inducing drugs

In Cystic fibrosis (CF) disease nonsense mutations in the CFTR gene cause the absence of the CFTR protein expression and a more severe form of the disease. About 10% of patient affected by CF show a nonsense mutation. A potential treatment of this alteration is to promote translational readthrough of premature termination codons (PTCs) by translational readthrough inducing drugs such as Ataluren (1). We reported a rationale for Ataluren promoted readthrough of PTCs by computational approach and GFP-reporter cell-based assay (2) and the observed enhancement of readthrough activity by some Ataluren derivatives (3, 4). In this context we aimed to compare the 1,2,4-oxadiazole core of Ataluren w…
