This article is based on the observation that the linguistic expression of emotions has three basic categories: intensity, quality, and the temporal dimension. The latter category has not yet received sufficient attention from linguistic research. The article takes the example of contemporary theatrical texts to demonstrate the close correlation between the linguistic means used to express emotion and their temporal dimension. The analysis of the use of these means and their meaning in the given dramatic situation shows that temporality is a linguistic phenomenon which plays a key role in the linguistic expression of emotions in this type of text. It was also shown that the organization of a dramatic text – including an exposition phase or authorial notes – provides a suitable tool for the mediation of various temporal levels, the understanding of which plays an irreplaceable role in the total emotional potential of the text.
The article deals with the analysis of linguistic structures which are used in the language of contemporary drama to intensify the expression of emotion. A corpus of four postmodern dramas was compiled for this purpose: 'Tätowierung' by Dea Loher (1992), 'Herr Kolpert' by David Gieselmann (2000), 'Schwimmen wie Hunde' by Reto Finger (2004), and 'Ein Teil der Gans' by Martin Heckmanns (2007). The article is based on the hypothesis that the emotional level of a text can be expressed via linguistic means displaying strong intensity. A theoretical justification of this hypothesis is followed by the analysis of the corpus texts.
The aim of this study is to examine economic terminology using the terminology database developed in the e-learning platform Moodle. The focus is on English terms from the daily press, their current position in German and Czech, and also on different equivalence types in their translation. Using digital reference works (Duden online, Management Mania, the English-German-Czech specialist dictionary Magnus Expert), the definitions and translations were searched for and interpreted, and the selected terms subsequently categorized into groups. It is shown that the terminology database in Moodle is not a well-studied source for lexicographical, translational and general linguistic research, although it offers a wide range of different Internet-based methodological approaches.
The aim of this paper is to show that the users of social media and the members of various networks make great efforts to achieve as original, innovative and creative ways of expression as possible. In this respect, the social networking site called Facebook is no exception. However, what differs is the occasions on which the texts are created (in the form of contributions, postings, comments etc.), their particular language forms as well as their distance in relation to both private and public virtual communities. The corpus explored comprises the profiles of different Facebook-users who release their birthday wishes online
This study addresses new trends in translation studies and translation teaching, focusing on the possible use of database applications by translators. The article responds to the increasing market penetration of translation software designed to make the translation process – especially in professional and technical texts – more effective and efficient. The process includes the use of existing translations as a basis for new translations, consistent handling of terminology, simplification of the writing process, and the use of dictionary-type databases. After offering a basic theoretical discussion of CAT tools, the article focuses on their use by translators, especially in terms of how to teach user skills to translation students. The author draws on his experience of teaching the use of CAT tools (the application TRANSITNXT®) at the Department of German Studies, Faculty of Arts, University of Ostrava.
