Student–Teacher Communication in Digital Higher Education
This study investigates the linguistic mechanisms of politeness and conversational implicature in digital classroom interactions at “1 Decembrie 1918” University of Alba Iulia (UAB), Romania. Rather the research adopts a corpus-based approach to analyze five authentic communicative situations extracted from institutional digital platforms (Moodle (version 4.3.2; R Core Team, 2023), Microsoft Teams, and institutional email exchanges) between acade…
Exploring the Cooperative Principle in Cross-Cultural Contexts
This study examines how international students learning Romanian interpret and apply the Cooperative Principle in everyday and academic interaction. The research is grounded in the observation that pragmatic competence often develops unevenly in second-language learning, particularly in multilingual environments where learners rely on norms carried over from their first language. To investigate these dynamics, a small spoken and written corpus wa…
Pragmatic Competence in Learning Romanian as a Foreign Language
This study examines how international students of Romanian as a foreign language interpret conversational implicatures, with the aim of assessing their developing pragmatic competence. Although Romanian has gained visibility as a target language for academic mobility, little research has explored how learners navigate its pragmatic norms, particularly those involving indirect meaning. The study adopts a case-study methodology and analyzes learner…
Modernizing the Divine Book. Translation strategies and language evolution in the Bible across English and Romanian
This paper examines the translation and retranslation of the Bible in both English and Romanian, with a focus on the strategies used to adapt the sacred text for contemporary readers. By analysing two English versions, the New King James Version (1979) and the New English Translation (2001), alongside two Romanian versions, the Dumitru Cornilescu Version (1924/2014) and the Noua Traducere În Limba Română [the New Romanian translation] (2006), thi…
Instances of (un)translatability in Ion Creangă’s “Amintiri din copilărie”/”Memories of my boyhood”
These days, writing about untranslatability may seem courageous, as more and more voices associate this issue with translation incapacity and, instead, advocate for creative remedies or even reject such an instance. This study does not deal with a contemporary novel, nor does it have to do with a powerful textual space. However, we believe that translation theories mainly focus on analyses of a certain category of languages, and raise questions o…
The evolution of literary translations
It goes without saying that literary translators participate actively in the creative process of authors. They read the original work and try to understand the author’s perspective, so that they are able to communicate the message to those readers who do not understand the source text language. Therefore, translators act as mediators, that constantly struggle to surmount linguistic, stylistic or cultural difficulties, by using effective strategie…
Collocation and connotation in chapter “Scylla and Charybdis” of James Joyce’s Ulysses. An analytical study of the Romanian translation
The present article was written as part of the PhD dissertation entitled “An analysis regarding the evolution of James Joyce’s writing style in ‘Dubliners’, ‘A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man’ and ‘Ulysses’ and the strategies of translating it into Romanian”. The research starts from the hypothesis that a perfect rendition in a different language of a literary text of this type is nothing more than a utopia. However, a translator should alw…
Mircea Ivănescu – a Romanian poet rendering the style of James Joyce’s Ulysses. The concept of fidelity in translating the overture from “Sirens”
The following paper deals with a view on the concept of fidelity in literary translation with an analysis of the Romanian poet Mircea Ivănescu’s work on the overture of episode eleven: “Sirens” from James Joyce’s “Ulysses”. Mircea Ivănescu is a postmodernist poet who prefers to employ an ordinary language when writing. Moreover, he is a self-taught man of letters who didn’t even get a degree in the languages he translated from. When speaking of h…
