Informational Messages in Lithuanian and Ukrainian
The paper deals with the linguistic peculiarities of informational messages in the form of public signs. The aim of this study is to analyze and compare the structural and semantic content of the informational messages for cross-cultural and cross-linguistic representation. It draws upon the principles of the pragmatic-discourse analytic approach. A comparable corpus of randomly selected signs and posters referring to the information on COVID-19 …
Eye-Tracking in Reading Research
Eye-tracking methods have become a valuable tool for reading research, as they provide significant evidence on the behavioral and cognitive performance of developing readers. They also help identify reading behavior patterns among children with neurodevelopmental conditions, such as reading difficulties (RD) or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In this paper, we reviewed relevant literature (73 empirical studies) from 2008 to 2023 …
On the uses of machine translation for education purposes
Technology in the context of education is a subject of debate, from a very positive experience that promotes learning to a very negative one that prohibits the use of various smart devices, tools, programmes, and platforms in the classroom. The problem is how to find a balance between the two positions and how to encourage teachers to introduce possibilities of technologies to benefit the general education process. The topic of machine translatio…
Quality assessment of machine translation output
Despite fast development of machine translation, the output quality is less than acceptable in certain language pairs. The aim of this paper is to determine the types of errors in machine translation output that cause comprehension problems to potential readers. The study is based on a reading task experiment using eye tracking and a retrospective survey as a complementary method to add more value to the research as eye tracking as a method is co…
Lingvistinių kolokacijų vertimo ypatumai
Collocation is a term used to describe two-word combinations when there is a limited number of words thatmay precede or follow another word. There are many discussions about the term itself; therefore, the characteristicsand taxonomies of collocations are under debate. One of the accepted linguistic classifications ofcollocations is based on properties of collocations such as compositionality, modifiability, substitutability,and internal associat…
Use and Translation of Conditional Sentences in Institutional Register and Popular Scientific Prose
In a world characterised by cross-cultural communication, scientific and institutional languages have become increasingly important for linguists and translators. The characteristics of scientific and institutional languages clearly distinguish them from other types of registers. In terms of translation, texts in both registers under analysis should render exact meaning and context of the original text through clear, unequivocal lexis and concise…
On Language Editing of Research Articles Translated from Lithuanian to English
The major language editor’s role is to enhance the quality of a particular text by correcting language errors and adapting the text according to some formal guidelines. The language editing of a translated text is complicated since many texts, including medical research articles, are translated by non-professional translators, which often results in a low-quality translation forcing the language editor to work hard in order to provide a proper qu…
On Semantic Pleonasms and Their Translation in Institutional Register
Institutional register should be highly accurate and ambiguity-free; however, it is mainly complex and hard to understand. One of its characteristic linguistic features is the use of set expressions and clichés. A number of pleonasms are also clichés, frequent in different documents. These pleonastic phrases make the text unnecessarily dense and redundant. For the most part perhaps, wordiness is also typical of the translated documents. Instituti…
On Semantic Pleonasms in English and their Translation in Lithuanian
Pleonasms are sometimes considered as faulty and erroneous or at least odd and absurd; yet, translators are often influenced by the structure of a pleonastic combination in the source language and translate them word for word which frequently results in a similar pleonasm in the target language. Rarely is the phrase translated in a different way which happens when the literal translation is unnatural in the target language. Therefore, an assumpti…
Number Categories in Abstract Nouns
nouns are uncountable from the point of view of number. In Lithuanian nouns referring to actions are derived from verbs by means of suffixes and endings in the same way as nouns referring to qualities are derived from adjectives. All nouns referring to actions and qualities are, in principle, uncountable and singular, except a few nouns which possess a plural ending. Yet, there is always the potentiality of every noun to form the plural. Thus, ce…
Lexicalisation of the Plural
The lexicalisation process of nouns in the plural form is a universal phenomenon in the languages where nouns are variable regarding number. Both Lithuanian and English possess a number of nouns that show difference of lexical meaning between the singular and the plural. This way the plural form of a word with a distinct meaning from the singular becomes a separate lexical item. However, the overall number and the cases of the nouns that acquire …
Contrastive Analysis of the Grammatical Category Number in Nouns in the English and Lithuanian Languages
Grammatical categories are not expected to be similar in two languages, thus, making problems for translators, interpreters, language learners and people on the whole enjoying the riches of foreign literature. This article deals with the grammatical category NUMBER in the English and Lithuanian languages. Number is distinguished in nouns, pronouns and verbs in English but in nouns, pronouns, verbs and adjectives in Lithuanian. The article primari…
