In Andreea Răsuceanu’s novels, the narrative is characterized by the ability to evoke the past, by presenting scenes, objects, events from which reconfigurations of the imaginary occur, by sensations and perceptions that express the retrieval of past time, through sensations brought back to the present, in a realistic-magical atmosphere. Under these conditions, the novels impose themselves through balance and substance in the dynamic and ambivalent relations between the characters, absences, revolts and deceptions in the disturbing context of the traumas of communism, captured in an intense and dense drawing.

The Past as Seduction and Challenge

The study starts from the assertion that diachrony and synchrony are two modern linguistic concepts, in opposition. The main objective is the argumentative approach of the diachronic perspective of terminology, as the interdisciplinary scientific field. The descriptive-linguistic and comparative method allowed us some conclusions, of which the need for a historical approach to the terms is the first sine qua non condition for the creation of databases and disambiguation in specialized communication.

Ethical Renegotiation of the Past

Two Jewish boys – Danny, with traditional views and Reuven with liberal views share a common struggle in finding their place in the world. Silence as a parenting technique can be damaging or a form of discipline for the sake of spiritual self-discovery and improvement.
By experiencing one’s pain and suffering, we can find our soul and destroy our indifference towards others. Unlike David Malter, Reuven’s father, who has a relationship based on dialogue with his son, Reb Saunders, Danny’s father teaches his son compassion and caring for the world through silence. For him, silence is a substitute for words in expressing one’s inner self. His son’s mind is excellent, but his soul is empty, and a mind with a soul is more important than knowledge.
While Danny feels the pain of silence due to his relationship with his father, Reuven feels the pain of silence when he no longer keeps contact with Danny.
The paper demonstrates that silence, if taught efficiently, is not a symbol of oppression and tyranny but a tool for achieving self-knowledge and taking the correct choices in life.

In the short stories of Mulk Raj Anand, the character’s psyche is revealed to the readers. Anand focuses on the psyche of a character and relatively develops the character’s outer world. Mulk Raj Anand was born and brought up in and around the British Camps in India as his father was an administrator in the Indian Army, which was a transferable job. These experiences of his childhood, of moving around, of meeting new people, of adjusting, etc, gave him an introduction of the varied behavior of human and an insight in the human mind. This paper discusses role and contribution of minor characters in the select short stories of Mulk Raj Anand.

We focused in this paper on the transparency of lexemes belonging to the fundamental vocabulary due to different factors: history, etymology, the power of word-formation and compounding, the attribute of expressing fundamental notions etc. This feature of the linguistic sign is relatively seen in the other part of the vocabulary. We analysed this feature comparing a page of prose with a couple of critical fragments referring to that scene.

I chose this topic in order to examine, on the one hand, the different ways in which students can improve their knowledge of a foreign language, but also of their mother tongue, through the use of translation; on the other hand, I intend to illustrate a series of didactic strategies for teaching translation as an independent activity, as a skill in itself, which needs to be developed and can be used by students both in interlingual and intercultural communication processes and in their future jobs as translators or interpreters.

Since technology has become an organic part of our lives, new skills are in order, and continuous updating is a must. The field of translation could not be left out of this evolution; therefore, the future translator needs to be trained to acquire new digital skills, in order to meet the market requirements. The paper focuses on the Course on translation software, freshly taught within the Master’s degree programme of Multimodal translation within our university.

The paper is an approach to the specific traits of English technical discourses from the perspective of their use as language material in the ESP (English for Specific Purposes) class. the theoretical part provides an overview of some possible definitions of technical discourses and of their specificity compared to general language discourses. The identified features are presented from the perspective of methodological strategies, in an attempt to identify the most suitable approaches of technical discourses in the ESP class.

Much of A. J. Cronin’s inspiration for his literary production lies in his own experience as a physician. His most popular novel, which has been debated to be partly autobiographical, is The Citadel, also praised to have brought significance contribution to the establishment of the National Health Service. This paper compares six versions, an English digital edition, three Romanian translations, and a Hungarian one in terms of phrases containing the word heart.

In a tense relation with ideologies (submission / opposition to) and reflecting the cultural paradigm of a particular space or time, language has taken different functions at different moments in history. But its utmost relevance should be found in the lives and works of writers. On many occasions, Norman Manea, one of the most acclaimed contemporary authors in exile, has stated his belief that, by continuing to write in his mother tongue, he continues, in a way, to inhabit his motherland. Our presentation will try to explore the idea of native language as a place of exile in relation to the author’s life context.

Language as Exile. Norman Manea

Online learning has placed the educational process not behind a screen but in front of a mirror that has challenged its face-to-face practices and has led to major changes not only as regards the design of the teaching materials, but also as regards the strategies employed in the assessment activities. Online environment has marked a shift within the educational process by establishing the need to focus more on a formative assessment, rather than on the summative one. As part of this continuous assessment the teacher has to provide effective and knowledge-yielding learning input, he/she needs to constantly guide the learners in the learning process, to identify methods to keep them motivated, to constantly provide feedback on their progress, to create opportunities for them to get involved, and finally, to turn them from passive recipients confined behind a screen into active creators of knowledge.

In university syllabuses Discourse analysis and Interpretation appear as separate courses. Nevertheless, as our teaching experience showed us, they are quite complementary and rely on a conceptual basis that nourish our students’ knowledge of discourse and the practice of it. As this paper aims at showing, the analysis of one of Emmanuel Macron’s discourses on the Gilets jaunes brought us to the understanding that being familiar with some discursive strategies may help future interpreters’ performance especially when knowledge is transferred from one discipline to the other, in an integrated approach.

The Book Letters from Exile. Unpublished correspondence is the proof of a long friendship, the letters gathered here revealing scenes, portraits and events that reconfigure the biographies of the two exiled Romanian intellectuals, Matei Călinescu and Ion Vianu. The affective imprint, the vague colour of nostalgic emotion compresses the impediments of spatial distance, the long friendship between the two being the result of reuniting several circumstances, affinities, closeness, because a friendship is strengthened, as we know, by analogies and empathy, tolerance, patience and sincerity, but also from the valences of the modelling and recovering confession. A theme that appears with a significant frequency is the theme of exile, of the rupture of identity, with old and new existential meanings, with difficulties, illusions and disappointments. A recurring topos is that of travel, as many epistolary notations summarize projects of meetings, reunions, trips, planned in detail, trips in real geography and trips on the map of a postmodern imaginary, bearing the imprint of intercultural dialogue, ideas, references bibliographies, reading sheets, possible conferences and other opportunities for intellectual debates that, for us today, do not mean so much anymore.

By studying the variables of age, bilingualism, identity, and emotions on second language learning/teaching, the author identifies methods likely to optimize both students’ second language acquisition (SLA) and the teachers’ approaches. The pertinent conclusion is that both teaching and acquisition of English as a second or third foreign language are shaped by multiple concomitant factors including the students’ age, their cultural identity, emotions, as well as their being bilingual or multi-lingual. Especially novel and illustrative for the author’s contribution to the field is the survey of monolingual versus bilingual students in higher education institutions from Transylvania, the latter coming from mixed Romanian-Hungarian families. Given these students’ cognitive development and experience with a wider range of sounds, i.e. metalinguistic awareness and communicative skills, they tend to outperform their monolingual peers in terms of cognitive flexibility, phonetic sensitivity, metalinguistic awareness and field independence - they generate larger structures which also include incorrect sentences, but which allows them to progress faster than monolinguals.

The book authored by Titela Vîlceanu, appeared in 2017 under Universitaria Craiova, and offers an insight view into the intricate world of translation studies as a well-framed process and considered in relation to domains it interferes with. The book offers a binary perspective on the translation phenomenon, shedding light on the theoretical as well as practical standpoints, by framing translation as process and as profession. The translator is considered from the point of view of the competences that need to be assimilated in order to become a good professional, with special focus on digital skills.
