The paper summarizes the diversity of opinions on the discursive practice called Spanglish, a term that includes a set of dialect, sociolinguistic and stylistic modalities of Spanish and is usually identified with the United States. Spanglish is analyzed in the framework of the modern research paradigm as a form of the language personality manifestation reflecting both the mentality and communication mode in a particular social and political situation. A language personality can be seen as a certain combination of linguistic forms and categories depending on psychic, social and historical factors. Various approaches and concepts reflect the multifaceted nature of the phenomenon considered to be an automatically generated language with weakened semantic interpretation of sentences; expressive syncretic variety of discourse performing symbolic and connotative functions; positive affectiveness resource; both as a symbol of American nationalism and the Latin emotional identity manifestation forming the dual rational-emotional unity. Recent studies emphasize the rootedness of Spanglish as an informal form of communication: Hispanic users not only keep in their mentality this solution pattern for the problems they encounter daily, but also apply it to new communicative situations. The concept of “ language personality ” allows to examine Spanglish in relation to its two types: with incompleted communicative competence in English ( incompetent code-changing ) and with completed communicative competence in English ( competent code-changing ). Moreover, the phenomenon is closely related to the pragmatic intentions of the speaker as an act of personal manifestation, performing in each case a heuristic / fatal / expressive / regulatory function. In conditions of incompetent code-changing , Spanglish is an automatic mechanism arbitrarily / involuntarily used to solve communication problems in order to avoid misunderstanding. In a situation of competent code-changing , Spanglish is seen as an act of creative intelligence that has successfully overcome communication problems and expresses its creativity in the form of a special discursive practice. The language personality of the second type consciously chooses this discursive strategy focusing on the communicative situation (informal communication, professional communication, public speaking) and its illocutionary intention (the act of linguistic creativity, the emotional state reflection, the formation of trust and brotherhood relationships, the demonstration of identity, the fastest way of transmitting information).","PeriodicalId":162978,"journal":{"name":"FUNCTIONAL ASPECTS OF INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION.

Its origin is connected with the works of E. Hall, R. Brislin, J. Berry, D. Lansis, W. Lonner, S. Thing-Tumi and others. The term “сross-cultural communication” itself appeared in the 70s of the XX century in American linguistics.

In this study, we propose to categorize these new terms in order to decide on their integration in order of relevance and frequency of professional use in the program of teaching French as a foreign language. We will discuss some of the reasons for the adoption of this new terminology, especially anglicisms, in professional communication. In addition, we propose a preliminary study on the use of anglicisms by French-speaking businesses. Apart from quantitative results that show that anglicisms are nevertheless admitted by French-speaking professionals, which would trigger a larger study, this survey also allowed us to compile a list of neologisms and anglicisms that will serve us as a lexical basis for conducting larger-scale studies in the future.

Nonetheless, despite the authorities’ attempts to oppose their employment, neologisms and anglicisms are prime targets of research in the teaching of business French in order to prepare students for the real-life business environment, because in the age of communication technologies, Internet and social networks, French business vocabulary is constantly undergoing an evolution of its lexicon in a context of globalization and marketing.

The translator's linguistic personality in recent decades has become the object of research not only in such areas of linguistics as comparative linguistics, semiotics, semantics, pragmatics, cognitive linguistics, and others but also in the natural sciences related to the study of human activity, for example, neurophysiology. Nowadays, an analysis of the features of translator's bilingualism (or multilingualism) as a type of professional bilingualism is impossible without taking into account the achievements of translation studies, sociolinguistics, and ethno-psycholinguistics, cultural linguistics and neurolinguistics. All these areas allow us to conclude the laws and mechanisms of a language contact, which can be influenced by individual specifics, including the hemispheric dominance in one's brain. Unlike ordinary (natural) bilingualism, which is always a common practice of the peoples, the translator's bilingualism is professional by nature and is usually limited to the social practice of a particular individual. This practice, in turn, is shaped by the national, linguistic identity, the cultural experience of the translator, his emotional intelligence, and the socio-cultural factors that influence the formation of a particular type of acculturation of the translator's personality. Studies of the linguistic identity of professional bilinguals help us to understand the nature of speech production during the translation process, as well as the causes of linguistic interference at all levels of the language system, including stylistic registers. In the course of experiments of neurophysiologists and neurolinguists it was revealed that the dominance of the left hemisphere, which operates with verbal images and perceptions, provides us with rational perception and thinking. The dominance of the right hemisphere, which is characterized by the predominance of visual images, provides an emotional, imaginative, intuitive (and sometimes irrational) approach to the situation, creating the prerequisites for intuitive, creative thinking, which is so necessary for the translator. Language contact occurs during the interhemispheric communication in the brain of any bilingual.","PeriodicalId":162978,"journal":{"name":"FUNCTIONAL ASPECTS OF INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION.

Our objective is not to define the status of our mother tongue, considered by purists as a dialect and by modernists as a language, nor to define that of French, believed to be a preferred foreign language as several linguistics and sociolinguistics studies have examined this subject. We can cite the studies of Salah Mejri et al. edited in the journal «Synergies du Gerflint», published online on January 25th, 2010, in an issue dedicated to the linguistic landscape in Tunisia. Yet subsequent to the 2011 revolution, the issue was so pressing that politicians became involved to show that “the choice of a language is not neutral”. The transition from literal Arabic to dialectal Arabic (diglossia), or from the Tunisian dialect to French (bilingualism) can be interpreted as a sign of identity and/or openness. The present contribution aims to show how the Tunisian citizen has evolved from a cultural point of view, through the use of languages as different as they are, such as Arabic with its two slopes and French. For the purpose, I will examine the case of signs and poster ads in both languages. So, I will first determine the presence of Arabic (source language) in the translation (target language) by trying to classify the examples according to phonological, morpho-syntactic and lexical criteria. Second, I will Functional aspects of intercultural communication. Translation and interpreting issues. Proceedings. 2019.

This will raise our awareness of the linguistic situation outside educational structures, where both French and literal Arabic are used unequally compared to the dialect. Contrary to Hubert Tullon (2009: 35) who thinks there is «a discourse [...] that opposes [...] the national language to foreign languages in the way Authenticity is opposed to Alienation\", the present paper argues that, at the present time, the trend is towards promoting foreign languages while giving priority to the mother tongue especially in public places.","PeriodicalId":162978,"journal":{"name":"FUNCTIONAL ASPECTS OF INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION.

There is no serious pedagogical analysis of education at the end of life as a consequence of the previous individual educational route traversed by a person, the cognitive activity of an aging person is not considered by modern pedagogy as an intrinsic phenomenon. There is a discrepancy between the existence of a diverse practical experience of teaching older people and the lack of a methodology for interdisciplinary research of the aging person as a subject of continuous education.

The language of any ethnic group contains stable figurative locutions with a holistic meaning. The phraseological structure is the treasury of each word. Over the years, the fixed phrase becomes a typical unit. This study aims to compare phraseological units containing symbolic meanings of animals in Chinese and Russian languages and identify their connotations. The zoonyms with national-cultural connotations were distinguished against the background of Russian and Chinese phraseology based on a linguistic and regional approach. People often use zoonyms in their speech as part of phraseological turns because the direct meanings of these lexical units have plentiful opportunities for the development of connotations. Zoonyms are associated with many ideas about the traits of a human character that are inherent in animals initially. For example, the lexical unit \"bear\". Bear is a positive image in the Russian nation. The Russians like the clumsy appearance and honest character of the bear: \"The owner is in the house, that the bear is in the forest\", \"The bear does not wash, but lives healthy\". In China, the most important symbolic meaning of bears is clumsy and stupid. (Idiom) \" 鱼和熊掌不可兼得 \", literal translation: a fish and a bear's paw cannot have both. This metaphor means that people can't be too greedy. The allegorical saying \" 黑瞎子叫门 - 熊到家了 a black blind man (the name of the bear in the northeastern dialect of China) is used to indicate cowardice. In Russian and Chinese, there are many phraseological units with animal names. However, they differ significantly from each other in terms of meaning. It reflects the difference in the cultural code of peoples that developed due to various environmental conditions, culture, and traditions.","PeriodicalId":162978,"journal":{"name":"FUNCTIONAL ASPECTS OF INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION.

Retelling is an extension of communicative translation as it follows a similar communicative aim without targeting at verbal affinity. The text of “The Gospels in Broad Yorkshire” is a retelling of several classical biblical subjects written by Arnold Kellett. The goal of the present paper is to identify characteristic features for this kind of representation used for the highly specific subject matter. The key method is comparison of the dialectal text and the corresponding sections of King James’s Bible; also used are elements of contextual analysis, the analysis of dictionary entries and of the rhetoric structure of the text. The author introduces the first person narrator, who freely expresses his ideas of the topics described in the Bible often humoring them. Linguistic adaptation concerns grammar as well as lexis. Lexical substitution is manifold: apply ing present day neutral terms instead of archaic words, extensive use of dialectal words as well as idioms and phrasal words, Introduction of present-day realia t erms. At the same time, difficult archaic religious words remain, like “disciple”, sometimes followed by an explanation. Such words serve as precedent terms indicating inherent links of the retelling with the original. Also, Kellet’s text abounds with free additions written mostly in a conversational, often ironic or humorous style. These linguistic modifications result in a narration fluent and reader-friendly, appealing to diverse readership by its easy manner. Through this, the biblical subject matter penetrates the minds of those not yet familiar with the topics and makes the readers realize and appreciate the moral significance of the material. Informal and relaxed, even chatty, the narration obviously resembles the original texts, which were initially oral and conversational, when Jesus spoke to people or crowds of people persuading and teaching them. It is this communicative function that links the retelling and the original, which is also variable, and allows considering the retelling an extension of the original text.","PeriodicalId":162978,"journal":{"name":"FUNCTIONAL ASPECTS OF INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION.
