PECULIARITIES OF TRANSLATING PHYTONYMS IN LITERARY TEXTS: BASED ON RUSSIAN, UZBEK, AND TURKISH LITERARY WORKS
Authors: Sattorova Shahnoza Baxtiyor qizi
Type: Dataset
Published: 2026-08-03

<p class="p">This thesis examines the linguistic, stylistic, and cultural characteristics of translating phytonyms in literary texts based on examples from Russian, Uzbek, and Turkish literature. Phytonyms, including the names of trees, flowers, herbs, fruits, and other plants, often perform not only a nominative function but also symbolic, metaphorical, emotional, and national-cultural functions in fiction. The study focuses on culturally significant plant names such as the Russian birch and rowan, the Uzbek <span class="15">chinor</span>, mulberry, pomegranate, and <span class="15">rayhon</span>, as well as the Turkish rose, tulip, and cypress. A comparative and contextual analysis is used to identify similarities and differences in their literary meanings and translation patterns. The findings show that direct translation is generally effective when an equivalent plant name and similar cultural associations exist in the target language. However, culturally marked phytonyms may require transliteration, descriptive translation, contextual explanation, specification, or translator’s notes. The study concludes that an adequate translation should preserve not only the botanical meaning of the phytonym but also its imagery, stylistic function, symbolic associations, and national character. The translator’s choice should therefore be determined by the literary context, genre, cultural background, and intended audience.</p>

<p class="15"><strong> </strong>This theoretical-scientific article provides a comprehensive analysis of the main theories, scientific hypotheses, and modern research directions dedicated to one of the most complex and mysterious problems in human history—the origin of language (glottogony). Language is not merely a means of information exchange, but the highest product of human cognition, social structure, and biological evolution. Consequently, the study of language origins is conducted at the intersection of philology, anthropology, neurobiology, archaeology, and cognitive sciences.</p>

The Difference between SAYING and MAKING: fer/fare as a Quotative Verb in Catalan and Italian
Authors: Herbeck, Peter, Remberger, Eva-Maria
Type: Journal article

<p>In Catalan and Italian (but not Spanish), the general action verb for making (and doing) derived from Latin FACĔRE can be used as a quotative verb, which introduces direct<br>speech together with a highly mimetic component of the representation of the speech act (Spitzer 1924; Guardamagna 2010). A corpus study of Italian and Catalan shows that the usage of Catalan and Italian fer/fare ‘make/do’ differs from the verb of saying dir/dire ‘say’ in several aspects. Fer/fare in its quotative use is not transitive, but<br>unergative (the quote cannot be pronominalised, the verb cannot be passivised etc.) and it can only introduce direct speech. We discuss the general properties of the verb in the two Romance languages and then the specific properties of quotative fer/fare as described in the literature and as observed in our corpus study. Possible bridging<br>contexts (between sound and speech) will serve as a clue for our analysis, which includes a pragmaticalisation process. Drawing on the phenomenon of mimesis (e.g.<br>Güldemann 2008), we argue that quotative uses of fer/fare stress the manner component of quotation, similarly (but not equal) to colloquial English be like. Thus, fer/fare subcategorises a covert manner demonstrative, i.e. a combination of encoded similarity (cf. be like) and demonstration (cf. Davidson’s 1968/69, 1979 demonstrative theory of quotation). Lastly, we claim that fer/fare is reduced in some contexts of usage, thus possibly at the beginning of a grammaticalisation process, but still to be analysed as a quotative verb.</p>
Air Quotes – "Simply" a Measure to Indicate Distancing?

Type: Journal article
Published: 2026-08-03
Keywords: Filozofická fakulta UPJŠ, SKASE Journal of Theoretical Linguistics, quotation, mapping, inference, expressive content, multimodality, cospeech gestures

<p>This paper aims at an analysis of air quotes as a multimodal phenomenon. The quotation marker in the audio-visual modality is suggested to express a dissociation of<br>the speaker with respect to the mapping of a respective expression to the intended concept. To account for such a function for this specific type of quotation, formal<br>features rooted in multimodality are described based on previous work and observations derived from an examination of a set of qualitative data. These aspects<br>are subsequently summarised as the formal dimension of air quotes. The functional dimension is linked back to the dissociation concerning the attribution of expression to<br>concept. Such a mapping is not able to instantiate the intended denotation if not interpreted correctly. The function is described as an indication that the mapping itself<br>is dependent on association with a non-prototypical intension. Hence, the interpretation relies on inference. Additionally, the speaker may want to encode attitudinal components via expressive content. The latter is understood to influence the formal aspects like prosody, accompanying gestures and facial expressions of the utterance.</p>
Empirical Evidence for FID as an Instance of Mixed Quotation
Authors: Hofmann, Peter
Type: Journal article
Published: 2026-08-03
Keywords: Filozofická fakulta UPJŠ, SKASE Journal of Theoretical Linguistics, free indirect discourse, mixed quotation, quotation, sentence processing

<p>This article investigates whether Free Indirect Discourse (FID) can be analyzed as a covert form of mixed quotation. Building on formal accounts that treat FID as the<br>selective integration of quoted and unquoted material (e.g., Maier 2015), we examine whether it satisfies the verbatim requirement typically associated with mixed quotation. In a pilot study, participants rated the acceptability of verbatim repetitions, synonyms, and lexical mismatches following short texts presented in FID, direct quotation, or a neutral control condition. Verbatim repetitions were consistently preferred across conditions, with no significant differences between presentation modes. These findings suggest that FID is compatible with direct quotation in preserving linguistic form despite lacking overt quotation markers. We interpret this as tentative support for the hypothesis that FID instantiates a covert quotation structure governed by semantic principles similar to those of mixed quotation. However, questions regarding the quotation-specific interpretation of this effect arise in the present design. Further research is needed to explore the generalizability and interpretive mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.</p>
Monsters Aren't Enough: (Non-)Indexical Shift in Indirect Discourse
Authors: Walter, Sebastian, Hinterwimmer, Stefan
Type: Journal article
Published: 2026-08-03
Keywords: Filozofická fakulta UPJŠ, SKASE Journal of Theoretical Linguistics, indirect discourse, perspective-taking, indexical shift, emoji, multimodality

<p>Since Kaplan’s (1989) prohibition of so-called monsters, it has been widely assumed that indexical expressions, such as “I”, “here”, or “tomorrow”, can receive shifted<br>interpretations, i.e., non-speaker-oriented interpretations, only in direct discourse, but not in indirect discourse. However, subsequent work has challenged this view by<br>showing certain perspective-dependent expressions can take their reference from the reported rather than the reporting context (Schlenker 2003; Anand & Nevins 2004;<br>Deal 2017; Saure 2025), which has led to a surge in monstrous analyses of indexical shift. Building on this line of research, the present paper extends the empirical domain<br>of perspective shift in indirect discourse to multimodal meaning. The results of a rating study reported in Walter & Hinterwimmer (2025b) show that face emoji in indirect<br>discourse can be interpreted from the perspective of the matrix subject rather than that of the author. We analyze this finding in terms of mixed quotation. We then extend this non-monstrous analysis to cases of shifted indexical adverbials in indirect discourse, thereby limiting our focus on languages that are normally argued to disallow indexical shift. We argue that this analysis is more suitable than a monstrous analysis of these findings because indexical shift in these languages must be licensed pragmatically. Therefore, an operator-based, monstrous analysis would be too strong.</p>
The Use of Quotation Marks in German as a Register Phenomenon
Authors: Romstad, Jonas
Type: Journal article
Published: 2026-08-03
Keywords: Filozofická fakulta UPJŠ, SKASE Journal of Theoretical Linguistics, quotation marks, graphematic, register studies, corpus linguistics

<p>Quotation as a linguistic phenomenon has been granted its own graphic sign in writing: the quotation marks “…”. Yet research has repeatedly shown that this punctuation unit is not a necessary condition for quotation as a pragmatic phenomenon. Still, the correlation between quotations and their explicit marking remains undeniable, and it provides the point of departure for the present study. Based on three corpora (graduation exams, newspaper articles, WhatsApp messages), I demonstrate that quotation marks disclose important aspects of quotation practices. Writers employ them in the corpora with specific nuances. Despite such variation, all uses refer back to a common functional basis. The data reveal quotation marks as flexible resources whose functions shift across communicative settings. They are not mere graphic delimiters but registersensitive indicators, adapting to situational and genre-specific contexts. Describing this variability through the concept of register allows for a systematic account of how quotation marks operate within different communicative environments.</p>
Indeterminate Quotational Constructions and Their Readings
Authors: Raue, Natascha
Type: Journal article
Published: 2026-08-03
Keywords: Filozofická knižnica UPJŠ, SKASE Journal of Theoretical Linguistics, quotation, indeterminacy, readings, corpus data, rating study

<p>Modalizing quotation, also referred to as scare quotes (SQs), commonly serve to signal non-literal meanings in written language. SQs represent an instance of indeterminate language as they not only allow for as single but at least two possible readings. Nonliteral meanings can give rise to different readings, such as distancing, irony and sarcasm, while the boundary between non-literal and literal meanings can be blurred. This investigation combines theoretical perspectives with corpus-based evidence from German news texts to address the question which linguistic means are used to highlight intended meanings in indeterminate quotational constructions. The analysis reveals that lexical means like ‘sogenannt’ and ‘angeblich’ frequently co-occur with graphemic and discourse-based means in German news data. In a rating study, the perceived literal and non-literal continuum was empirically tested for. Sentences with (i) quotation marks, (ii) lexical modification, and (iii) a combination of quotes and<br>lexical modification were all rated as more non-literal than their unmarked counterparts. The findings suggest that differences in readings are influenced by both<br>lexical markers and graphemic marking.</p>
Mixed, Scare, or a Secret Third Thing? The Hybrid Quotation Continuum in German-Language Newspapers

<p>This study investigates mixed quotation (MQ) and scare quotation (ScQ) in contemporary German-language newspapers, with a particular focus on how to<br>distinguish between them for the purposes of corpus annotation within a broader project on the history of reported discourse. The analysis draws on a corpus of 800<br>articles from four Austrian newspapers published on 31 January and 1 February 2025. Its aim is to develop a taxonomy of ambiguous cases lying between MQ and<br>ScQ. The results confirm that MQ and ScQ are best conceived as poles of a continuum. At one end are clear cases of MQ, where words are attributed to a definite speaker; at the other are clear cases of ScQ, where quotation marks signal unusual wording, irony, or authorial stance without attribution. Between these extremes lie ambiguous cases, where attribution is uncertain or context-dependent, and gradual shifts from quoting an identifiable speaker to referencing discourse more generally.<br>For annotation purposes, I propose a pragmatic solution: all instances that can be attributed to a speaker, even indefinite or hearsay, should be annotated as MQ; the<br>last steps on the continuum belong to ScQ; truly ambiguous cases should be excluded. Future research, with larger and more balanced corpora, should refine this taxonomy and explore production and reception, including how journalists and readers perceive or exploit the MQ–ScQ continuum.</p>
Quotation Unbound – Bridging the Divide Across Quotation Types

<p>Quotation is a linguistic device that speakers employ to reflect on language, to attribute utterances to speakers or writers, and to highlight particular expressions within discourse. The functions of quotation therefore range from metalinguistic reference and speaker attribution to indicating non-stereotypical uses of language. At the same time, quotation has posed a challenge for traditional semantic and pragmatic accounts, for instance by disrupting assumptions about compositionality and by blurring the boundary between truth-conditional content and metalinguistic reference across quotation types.</p>

A Comparative Analysis of English Language Proficiency among ESL and EFL Learners in Philippines and Indonesia: Evidence from a Needs Assessment
Authors: Mosende, Karen D., Ifadah, Muhimatul
Type: Journal article
Published: 2026-07-17
Keywords: Proficiency, ESL (English as a Second Language), EFL (English as a Foreign Language), Philippines, Indonesia

<p>In terms of language acquisition, Philippines considers English as second language (ESL), and Indonesia has English as foreign language (EFL). The researchers aim to synthesize results from the needs assessment for further development of the English learners in general. To best serve the answers to the research questions, this study follows the descriptive research design through the use of needs assessment test. The researchers used a survey questionnaire which was validated and used from the previous study in the Philippines. This questionnaire was administered in the Philippines at St. Dominic College of Asia and Indonesia at Muhammadiyah University of Semarang to 100 respondents who are taking Education, major in English. Both ESL and EFL learners show “Proficiency” in Reading and “Approaching Proficiency” in Writing. With regards to the overall English skills of the ESL and EFL learners, it is discovered that there were no significant differences between ESL and EFL learners, as both groups showed common proficient and deficient skills despite significant differences in speaking, listening, and writing. This suggests that regardless of culture or teaching practices, countries may have similar attitude or performance in learning English which agrees to Chomsky’s (1986) Universal Grammar Theory that children are born with innate ability to learn a language. This study therefore implicates that EFL and ESL learners have common developing knowledge in learning the English language. Regardless of their different backgrounds and limitations in enhancing their proficiency in English, they should aim to achieve advance proficiency in all areas in English since these are essential qualities as future teachers of English. Whether ESL or EFL learners, it is their responsibility to explore and develop knowledge and skills in English to influence their future students effectively to do the same that would bring change and better opportunities to them as future professionals.</p>
