Abstract:

Summary The so-called ‘genius of language’ may be regarded as one of the most influential, and versatile, metalinguistic metaphors used to describe vernacular languages from the 17th century onwards. Over the centuries, philosophers, grammarians, translators and language critics etc. wrote of the ‘genius of language’ in a wide range of text types and with reference to various linguistic positions so that a set of rather diverse types of the concept was created. This paper traces three prominent stages in the development of the ‘genius of language’ argument and, by identifying some of the most frequent types as they evolved in the context of the various linguistic discourses, endeavours to show the major transformations of the concept. While early on, discussion of the stylistic and grammatical type of the ‘genius of language’ concentrates on surface features in the languages considered, during the middle of the 18th century, the ‘genius of language’ is relocated to the semantic, interior part of language. With the 19th-century notion of an organological ‘genius of language’, the former static concept is personified and recast in a dynamic form until, taken to its nationalistic extremes, the ‘genius of language’ argument finally ceases to be of any epistemological and scientific value.

Abstract:

Each language has its own limited inventory of constructions from which speakers have to choose when they want to communicate their conceptualizations. This paper discusses a highly productive complex figure construction (Croft 2001:326) in the Papuan language Moi, which requires a number of different translations in English. In both SVO and SOV Papuan languages perceived events are normally expressed in coordinating complex figure constructions, but can appear in figure-ground constructions when pragmatically marked. To capture the genius of a language, interlinear and free translations in descriptive grammars should signal the language-specific links between form and meaning. The conclusion discusses to what extent and under what conditions cross-linguistic comparison of emic constructions is possible.

Abstract:

The fact that certain systemic differences exist between languages means that each language possesses a set of natural ways of expression specific to it, and ones that may sound odd in other languages. In other words, what is called ‘the genius’ of a language implies the existence of different ways of seeing and describing the world. Findings from comparative linguistics assert that languages ‘behave’ differently in manners revealing distinct mental pictures of the world events they describe. Naturalness is a central principle relating to proper language use and currency of usage from the perspectives of native users. This paper reviews the systemic differences between French and English and looks into the ways translators ensure naturalness by means of a strategy of equivalence in difference. A sign of success is the degree to which the translator manages to ‘free himself from the interference of the foreign language’. The corpus investigated consists of random samples of parallel excerpts from two francophone Maghrebian novels and their translations into English.

Abstract:

This paper takes Lin Yutangs The Gay Genius: The Life and Times of Su Tungpo as the research object. Guided by Liu Miqings style translation, translation aesthetics, and translation reception, it takes Zhang Zhenyus translation in 2017 as an example and analyzes the level of style reproduction in the translation compared with the source text, so as to explore the translatability of the style of The Gay Genius. The conclusion is that the style of The Gay Genius is highly translatable. With the improvement of the translator's language conversion skills and cultural coordination ability and the development of modern translation theories, its translation can be more perfect. In addition, this paper raises and discusses the issues related to translatability. Based on existing research, it further explains the translatability limits of the original work and the relationship between the translators language style and the works translatability.

Abstract:

Arabic in learning has four language skills that must be mastered by students, namely listening skills (mahārah al-istimā '), speaking skills (mahārah al-kalām), reading (mahārah al-qirā'ah) and writing skills (mahārah al- kitābah). This conceptual study discusses the Genius Learning Strategy in Writing Skill Learning (Mahārah al-kitābah). The Genius learning strategy is a learning strategy that involves the mental and all cognitive structures of students and reconstructs and raises student experiences that have been experienced through visual, auditory, and kinesthetic student learning modalities, so that students' experiences emerge through visual, auditory and kinesthetic media. Genius learning strategies fall into the category of meaningful learning theories.

Abstract:

Grasping French vouloir-dire by Polish-speaking students: what difficulties and what facilities? The objective of this article is to analyze the question of French vouloir-dire from the perspective of second language acquisition. We start from the principle that each language has its own “genius” (Yaguello 1988) and that mastering a language means above all letting oneself be tempted by this genius. In this perspective, we focus on the study of the facilities and difficulties experienced by Polishspeaking students learning French as a foreign language. By presenting the results of an empirical study carried out in two universities in Poland, we show that it is possible to enumerate intuitive grammatical constructions and those whose logic remains difficult for both intuition and analytical thinking throughout the process of learning French. The study also discovers that there is a need to redefine the notion of vouloir-dire while taking into consideration language contacts and the linguistic biography of speakers.

Abstract:

Since his first appearances in print, Sherlock Holmes has served as literature’s resident genius. But what does ‘genius’ mean in a world that increasingly conceptualises intelligence as a quantifiable and measurable phenomenon? This essay considers the characterisation of Holmes’s intelligence in the context of a revolution in the way human intelligence is understood – a revolution instigated by Francis Galton’s 1869 Hereditary Genius and emblematised by the invention of the IQ test in 1905. This historical context situates Holmes’s character at the crux of a shift in the conception of intelligence, as encapsulating a moment of cultural wavering between ‘genius’ as a mysterious quality or gift, and ‘genius’ as a higher-than-average number on a scale. Ultimately, this essay suggests that these competing models of the characterisation of intelligence in the Holmes stories illuminate a fundamental clash between the novelistic ideal of portraying incommensurable individuality on the one hand, and the de-individualising trend of the IQ model of intelligence on the other.

Abstract:

Abstract: Historians of rhetoric and composition have agreed that the eighteenth century saw the demise of a pedagogy of invention. Bacon's scientific method and faculty psychology together led to the end of the topoi as generational devices and of rhetorical inventio. Invention, dependent on individual genius, could not be taught. However, An Essay on Genius, by eighteenth-century associationist Alexander Gerard, suggests that inventio was less abandoned than transformed. Accordingly, we need to refine our understanding of eighteenth-century thinking about composing to include the notion that rhetoricians were aware that invention was a necessary part of composing and that associationism itself included invention.

Abstract:

Arabization is one of the manifestations of the convergence of the Arabic language with other languages at the level of vocabulary. It is also a genius means of enriching the language. It is a unique phenomenon that enriches verbal wealth in any scientific or social field. Arabization is not a new phenomenon in the Arabic language because it was not an isolated area in the Arab nation. In pre-Islamic times, it was used for connections with neighboring nations, such as the Persians, Ethiopians, Romans, Syriacs, Nabataeans, and others. Naturally, this contact was followed by linguistic friction between Arabic and the languages of those nations. The circumstances led to many other languages borrowing words from Arabic. Hausa is a clear example where a large diction of Arabic loaned words is in use. Arabization is a long-standing communicative relationship between the Arabs and the Hausas. The abundance of Arabization in the Hausa language is due to three things: (i) commercial activities and relationships, (ii) the spread of the Hausa language and its place in academia, and (iii) religious activities. So far, Arabic loan words are being used in the Hausa language, covering varieties of socio-economic domains of life.

Abstract:

Figurative language is part of our everyday life where meaning is communicated indirectly. Metaphor is among the major figurative devices that are commonly encountered in interactions. This study investigates the use of metaphors employed to conceptualize abstract concepts, namely that of anger in both English and Arabic. For this purpose, a corpus of metaphorical expressions denoting anger in both languages was utilized. These expressions were classified based on their metaphorical mappings and later analyzed using Kövecses’ (2002) framework. The results indicate that although the two languages share several anger conceptualizations, they have specific differences. These differences were attributed to language differences, in that language genius and vocabulary repertoire often influence the conceptualization process. Culture also proved to be another source of elements like climate and lifestyle that manipulate the conceptualization process. The study of metaphorical conceptualization of emotions in general and anger in particular in the Arabic language is a prospective topic that requires further research.

Abstract:

The article is dedicated to the investigation of the verbalization of the concept A WORK OF GENIUS in the world view of the English-speaking society. The proposed study was performed within the framework of linguogenionics, which examines the interpretation of the phenomenon of genius in language in general and in English in particular. The study is based on specialized dictionaries and encyclopedias, English scientific texts, as well as the British National Corpus. Special linguistic methods used in the study include definitional, componential analysis, which together with the use of contextual-interpretative method allowed conducting a conceptual analysis aimed at identifying the structure of the concept A WORK OF GENIUS in the scientific world view. The analysis of scientific publications allowed singling out the peripheral features of the studied concept in the English scientific picture of the world, namely: relevance, importance, time trial, mystery, usefulness, polysensity, universality. The English conceptual field GENIUS consists of three segments connected by a cyclic relationship. Each of these segments is denoted by a corresponding nuclear concept: GENIUS as a phenomenon, GENIUS as a person, and A WORK OF GENIUS. The ontological cycle consists of the following three parts: 1) a person endowed with 2) the gift of genius creates 3) a masterpiece that is recognized as a work of genius (in art or science), and this gives its creator the status of a genius. The relatively small amount of peripheral features of all nuclear concepts in the scientific picture of the world is accounted for by the fact that in scientific discourse the most frequent conceptual features are nuclear components. We see the prospect of the research in the possibility of further studies of geniuses in the paradigm of linguopersonology, contrastive linguistics and psycholinguistics.

The article is dedicated to the investigation of the verbalization of the concept A WORK OF GENIUS in the world view of the English-speaking society. The study is based on general explanatory dictionaries of the English language, specialized dictionaries and encyclopedias, English artistic, publicist and scientific texts, as well as the British National Corpus. The English conceptual field GENIUS consists of three segments connected by a cyclic relationship. Each of these segments is denoted by a corresponding nuclear concept: GENIUS as a phenomenon, GENIUS as a person, and A WORK OF GENIUS. The ontological cycle consists of the following three parts: 1) a person endowed with 2) the gift of genius creates 3) a masterpiece that is recognized as a work of genius (in art or science), and this gives its creator the status of a genius. The nuclear components of the structure of the given concept are almost identical in both versions of the world view, which indicates the stability and universality of the key characteristics of the phenomenon of genius in the picture of the world of English-speaking society. The nuclear components reflect extraordinary mental and creative abilities of a genius and originality of his work. At the same time, the naive picture of the world demonstrates the existence of a rather voluminous periphery in the structure of the corresponding concepts, in which evaluative and often opposite in content features predominate. The relatively small amount of peripheral features of all nuclear concepts in the scientific picture of the world is accounted for by the fact that in scientific discourse the most frequent conceptual features are nuclear components. We see the prospect of the research in the possibility of further studies of geniuses in the paradigm of linguopersonology, contrastive linguistics and psycholinguistics.

Abstract:

AbstractWittgenstein’s private language argument claims that language and meaning generally are public. It also contends with our appreciation of artworks and reveals the deep connection in our minds between originality and the temptation to think of original meaning as private. This problematic connection of ideas is found in Kant’s theory of fine art. For Kant conceives of the capacity of artistic genius for imaginatively envisioning original content as prior to and independent of finding the artistic means of communicating this content to others. This raises the question of whether we can conceive of art as both original and meaningful without succumbing to privacy.

Abstract:

Still relevant today via mobility and the multicultural environment as the constitutive elements of our globalized societies, the reflections around “the cumbersome problem of the genius of languages” (Cassin 2016) join and enrich the question of living together and building oneself. In the field of literature or human sciences, the thought of the practice of languages in a situation of diglossia has forged an imaginary which often connects the passage from one language to another to a balance of power and a tension of identity. We propose an analysis of the symbolic values of the dilemma between the Romanian language and the Russian language which is at the heart of the diegesis of the novel Grădina de sticlă [The Glass Garden] by Tatiana Țîbuleac. Published in Romanian by Éditions Cartier de Chișinău and translated into several languages, including French and Spanish, the book was awarded the European Union Prize for Literature in 2019. The fictional world and the language of writing describe a symbolic abyss: the author describes in Romanian the fight with the Russian of a Moldovan orphan who is trying to rebuild herself between the two languages. In a very colorful style, the novel deploys a po(ï)etics of “between”, which also has a political dimension.

Abstract:

This article tells the story of a double adventure. Firstly, that of the Vocabulaire européen des philosophies: Dictionnaire des intraduisibles, which was published in 2004 by Editions du Seuil/Le Robert. This was an innovative tool that used the ‘untranslatables’ — defined as ‘not that which is not translated, but that which one never stops (not) translating’ — in order to explore the key symptoms of the differences between languages in the philosophies of Europe. Secondly, that of the translations and transpositions of this work, written originally in the French language (or metalanguage), into a dozen or so other languages, including English, Arabic, Ukrainian and Romanian, each of which brought to it a different set of concerns. The gesture of translating the original volume into different languages necessitates a genuine reflection on the weighty problem of the génie des langues (innate character or ‘genius’ of a language), and on translation itself as a form of philosophizing with differences.

Abstract:

Introduction. According to Z.D. Popova and J.S. Sternin, representatives of the semanticcognitive approach, concept is a basic unit of human mental code, which has an internal structureconsisting of conceptual features; it is the result of the individual and social learning of the world.Conceptual features contain comprehensive information about the corresponding object orphenomenon, as well as the interpretation of information of public consciousness and the treatmentof the subject or phenomenon. Thus, the representatives of this trend treat language as one ofthe main tools of cognition and conceptualization of the world. The study of concept throughthe language isthe most reliable way of linguistic analysis which allows to detect conceptual featuresand to work out the model of the concept. Purpose. The article is dedicated to the investigationof the peculiarities of verbalization of the concept GENIUS in the English language and speech,namely its structural part – subconcept PRODIGY. Methods. To achieve the aim of the workthe following methods of linguistic analysis have been used: componential, contextual andconceptual. Results. Any analysis of the concept starts by detecting language units that representa given concept, their interpretation and vocabulary speech contexts. The research presents mainaspects of the study of the phenomenon of genius in philosophy and psychology; analyzesdefinitions of the lexical units “genius” and “prodigy” in the English dictionaries; singles outconceptual features of the analyzed concept in the popular-science biographies ofWolfgang AmadeusMozart and other child prodigies. Conclusion. The following conceptual features of PRODIGYhave been singled out on the basis of dictionary definitions: young age; intellectual power, talent,extraordinary / superior. The following conceptual features of the subconcept PRODIGY havebeen singled out on the basis of popular-science biographies: young age, extraordinary talentand creative power.
