F. Rastier (1987) defines virtualization as “neutralization of a seme in context“ , and actualization as “an interpretive operation which identifies or constructs a seme in context“, whereas Ch. Cusimano (2008) and (2012) pursues the problems related to the virtualization and actualization of the linguistic sign from the Saussurian signified to Guillaume's postulate of effective discourse and J. Picoche's potent word, which can be found in the structure of the linguistic sign in its pre-use. \u0000We have illustrated the problem of the actual and virtual with the example of two adjectives, the French sec and Croatian suh (dry). The adjectives have been analyzed by adopting the so-called differential approach to lexical meaning through a semic analysis. The aim of our analysis is to isloate the semic features of the adjectival lexemes, to see the extent to which they coincide in the two languages, as well as whether there is some stable structure, an element of the meaning which acts from the position of the archisememe. \u0000Seme, since it is actualized in context, in fact is neither distinctive nor pertinent but variable, depending on the socio-cultural group to which speakers belong. Inherent semes are part of the functional (operative) system of language and actually define the lexeme, while afferent are those semes which arise from the codification of the system through more or less socially conditioned norms. In contrast to inherent, afferent semes belong to different taxemes, which are actualized in context. Cusimano (2008: 41-42) suggests that contextual and situational variations should be attributed to the semic features which he calls ASFs, (Fr. traits semiques d'application, TSA). The ASFs are not an integral part of the sememe which is considered to be the core of the signified, although they influence it, and therefore do not have invariant character. Semes, these minimal units contained in the sememe, in contrast to the ASFs, are imbued with invariants. The ASFs are shown as a result of a previous use which determines whether or not and how the options of polysemous lexemes will be selected, and they are therefore able to represent the image (Fr. ideelle) of semantic information and identify it as a pertinent unit of meaning. According to this model, the ASFs function as the data which in cognitive linguistics are called encyclopaedic information organized in semantic information on the basis of prototypicality, and which are responsible for polysemy. ASFs are as virtual potential placed within the configuration of a minimal semantic framework. They are, as an integral part of the signified, necessary information in the structure of an onomasiologically perceived sememe. \u0000The first step in the analysis of the above adjectives was to ide","PeriodicalId":37164,"journal":{"name":"Komunikacija i Kultura Online","volume":"8 1","pages":"174-189"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45949229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first one is about the classification of foreign words into loanwords and calques, and the classification of German words into substantial, international and structural, about their adaptation in terms of Serbian orthography, pronunciation and morphology, its lexical needs, direct and indirect borrowing etc. The second one deals with current research into German words conducted by Serbian and German scholars, while the focus is on two studies: \"Nemacki uticaji u nasem jeziku\" by professor Milos Trivunac, one of the founders of German studies at university level, and \"Germanismen im Serbischen und Kroatischen\" by B. Golubovic, a modern Slavic scholar (Golubovic 2007). The third part of the paper analyzes German loanwords in Đorđe Lebovic's prose. \u0000Since many young linguists and students find German influence on Serbian is very interesting, and many of them decide to write term papers and MA theses in this field, the author tried to summarize basic information about this topic offered by ample literature in Serbian and German, to present them in a clear an meaningful way and to point out the possibilities for the application of these data when analyzing the corresponding aspect of certain literary texts in Serbian by using examples from Lebovic's texts. Depending on what a particular work of literature offers, results of such an analysis can prove the current insights or even make them more profound.","PeriodicalId":37164,"journal":{"name":"Komunikacija i Kultura Online","volume":"8 1","pages":"48-87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45878016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Having in mind various sociolinguistic studies (Maltz, Borker, 1982; Tannen, 1990; Troemel-Plotz, 1991; Gray, 1992; Johnson, 2000, DeVito, 2002; Wood, 1997; Basow, Rubenfeld, 2003) which claim there are male-female differences in linguistic behaviour and that women are more polite in communication than men, the aim of this paper is to investigate the extent to which a non-linguistic variable of gender affects the degree of directness and formulation of strategies used for realising the speech acts of request, favour asking and apology. The author of this paper thus endeavours to explore if the non-linguistic variable of gender affects the directness of politeness among the Serbian and the English native speakers, and if these speakers would change the degree od directness of the chosen strategy if they were to address a female instead of a male in the same context. \u0000Linguistic corpora used for the research are gathered from the native speakers of Serbian and English language by means of a sociolinguistic questionnaire as a data elicitation technique. The said questionnaire consists of 18 socially-differentiated situations each of which describes the social context and the level of social power among the participants. The situations were designed so as to provide a context which may be expected to give rise to particular request/favour-asking/apology strategies. Since the questionnaire is of a semi-closed type, the respondents could choose among the offered responses or they could write down their own answer. The offered answers are in line with the Brown and Levinson’s (Brown, Levinson, 1987) taxonomy of politeness strategies, namely, the respondents were offered a direct strategy under a, positive politeness strategy under b, negative politeness strategy under c, and indirect strategy under d. They were also provided free space to write down their own answer in case their answer is none of the suggested. The author views the respondents’ answers not from the aspect of being more or less polite, but from the aspect of the (in)directness degree of the chosen strategy. For this reason, this study places politeness strategies on a directness scale where direct strategy is the first and most direct one and indirect strategy is the last and least direct one. \u0000The respondents were first asked to choose a strategy they would use for addressing a man and then to state if they would change the selected strategy if they were to address a woman in the same situation. In case the answer was yes, they were asked to provide the strategy they would use in this case. Based on comparative quantitative and qualitative analysis of the collected data, conclusions were drawn onthe differences in the degree of directness in a defined social context between male and female speakers and ","PeriodicalId":37164,"journal":{"name":"Komunikacija i Kultura Online","volume":"8 1","pages":"117-153"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45964361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subtitlers are often faced with major stumbling blocks to get the message across in a cohesive and coherent fashion within the scope of various semiotic modalities, typically underpinning the construction of meaning. The present study is based on the data excerpted from the famous American sitcom, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air first aired in 1990, subtitled by two amateur subtitling aficionados and one MA translation student (who will be referred to as student subtitler) enrolled on Audiovisual Translation course at Al-Quds University for the school year 2014/2015. The article employs a comparative analysis of the subtitles made by the amateur subtitlers and a trained subtitler. The article reveals that the student subtitler seems to be more aware of the specificities of subtitling and capable of rendering the accurate coherent semiotic meaning(s) of the uttered communication in the American sitcom than the other subtitlers. The article finally proposes a number of implications for the work of amateur subtitling aficionados and student subtitler and makes various recommendations that might assist in improving the translation quality.","PeriodicalId":37164,"journal":{"name":"Komunikacija i Kultura Online","volume":"42 1","pages":"109-126"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67976862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In spite of the great deal of attention given to language experts in sociolinguistic literature, very little research has looked into how these experts and their expertise is perceived amongst non - experts. A study of the perception of experts would help answer the question of how language ideologies c ome about, how are they formed by non - experts and are there any competing language ideologies, that language users come up with themselves. The aim of this paper is, thus, to explore the discursive construction of language experts amongst lay language user s. The data is drawn from online comment sections, and two communities are compared: Lithuania and Serbia. The research is qualitative, based on a relatively small number of comments, with the main goal to identify tendencies which could be examined in fur ther research. The analytical tools build upon the notion of interdiscursivity . Following Bauman (2005) is assumed that every utterance (or here: a comment) is created ideologically, by relying on recognisable ways of speaking, voicing and answering to discourses circulating in society. Such an analysis of the possible connections o f this discourse with other discourses could offer some explanation how language ideologies coming from language experts are perpetuated, negotiated or reconstructed.","PeriodicalId":37164,"journal":{"name":"Komunikacija i Kultura Online","volume":"7 1","pages":"155-182"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67973702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
