Abstract The present study focuses on the semantics of Finnish emotion words (e.g. joy, anger). My aim has been to investigate and describe what kinds of linguistic-semantic interpretations arise from an emotions vocabulary compiled using a questionnaire as a research instrument. Moreover, I was interested in finding out what kinds of emotions the Finns identify. The data used for the study consisted of the written responses of a hundred Finns of various ages to a questionnaire item, which asked them to name various emotions. Besides the two objectives above, male and female conceptual frameworks for emotions were compared in the study, as well as those of different age groups. Both a qualitative and a quantitative analysis of the data, which consists of 2020 responses, were carried out. The view of language adopted for this study draws from the basic notions of cognitive linguistics. I applied Anna Wierzbicka's ideas to the semantic grouping of emotion words. Moreover, the explanations given for the 51 most commonly used emotion words were based on Wierzbicka's idea of a natural semantic meta-language. I also used for the word descriptions the information provided by the Kielipankki newspaper corpus on the use of emotion words. The semantic contents of emotion words were explained as prototypical scenarios using the following semantic primitives: I, PERSON/SOMEONE, SOMETHING, THIS, OTHER, GOOD, BAD, THINK, KNOW, WANT, FEEL, CAN, DO, HAPPEN, THERE IS, WHEN, NOW, BEFORE, AFTER, A LONG TIME, A SHORT TIME, FOR SOME TIME, SOMETIMES, MIND, BODY, NEAR, INSIDE, NOT, TRUE, MAYBE, CAN, WOULD 'cond.', BECAUSE, IF, VERY, LIKE, MORE, SOME. The following semantic main categories were defined for emotion words: "Something good happened or will happen", "Something bad happened or will happen", "I want", "I don't want", "I think something about myself", "I think something about others", "I know / don't know". I investigated the status and significance of emotion words for the speakers of Finnish by using a cognitive significance index. The index has been developed by Urmas Sutrop particularly for the analysis of listing tasks. The cognitively most important emotion words for Finns were found to be: viha, ilo, rakkaus, suru, pelko, onnellisuus, kateus, ahdistus, väsymys, masennus, tuska, ihastus, tyytyväisyys, inho, jännitys, pettymys, kaipaus, rauhallisuus, ikävä, and toivo. According to this study, the emotions with the highest frequency of expression in the Finnish language are hatred, joy, love and sorrow. Women were found to have more words for emotions (23.0) than men (17.6). The emotion vocabulary includes more negative words (53%) than positive ones (43%). The findings of this study suggest that the Finns think more often good of other people than bad, and more often bad of themselves than good. / Tiivistelmä Tutkimukseni aiheena on suomen kielen tunteiden (esim. ilo, viha) semantiikka. Tavoitteenani on ollut tutkia ja kuvata, millainen lingvistinen semanttinen tulkinta tutkimukseni kyselyllä koostetusta tunnesanastosta muodostuu ja millaisia tunteita suomalaiset mieltävät olevan olemassa. Tutkimukseni perusaineiston muodostivat sadan eri-ikäisen suomalaisen kirjalliset vastaukset tehtävään, jossa he saivat vapaasti luetella tunteiden nimityksiä. Lisäksi olen vertaillut miesten ja naisten sekä eri ikäryhmien tunnekäsitteistyksiä. Tutkin saamaani 2 020 vastauksesta muodostunutta aineistoa sekä laadullisesti että määrällisesti. Työni kielinäkemys pohjautuu kognitiivisen kielentutkimuksen peruskäsityksiin. Sovelsin Anna Wierzbickan näkemyksiä tunnesanojen merkityksenmukaisessa ryhmittelyssä ja ajatusta luonnollisesta semanttisesta metakielestä 51 tyypillisimmän tunnesanan selittämisessä. Hyödynsin kuvauksissani myös Kielipankin lehtikorpusten antamaan tietoa tunnesanojen käytöstä. Selitin tunnesanojen merkityssisällöt prototyyppisinä skenaariona seuraavien semanttisten primitiivien avulla: MINÄ/ITSE, IHMINEN/HÄN/JOKU, ASIA/JOKIN, TÄMÄ, MUU/TOINEN, HYVÄ, PAHA/HUONO, AJATELLA, TIETÄÄ, HALUTA, TUNTEA, VOIDA, TEHDÄ, TAPAHTUA, OLLA / OLLA OLEMASSA, KUN, NYT, ENNEN, JÄLKEEN, KAUAN AIKAA, VÄHÄN AIKAA, JONKIN AIKAA, JOSKUS, MIELI, RUUMIS, LÄHELLÄ, SISÄLLÄ, EI/KIELTO, TOTTA, EHKÄ, SAATTAA, -ISI-, KOSKA/VUOKSI, JOS, HYVIN, KALTAISUUS, ENEMMÄN/LISÄÄ, VÄHÄN. Varsinaisista tunnesanoista hahmotin seuraavat päämerkitysryhmät: "Jotakin hyvää tapahtui tai tapahtuu", "Jotakin pahaa tapahtui tai tapahtuu", "Haluan", "En halua", "Ajattelen itsestäni jotain", "Ajattelen toisista jotain", "Tiedän / en tiedä". Selvitin aineistoni tunnesanojen asemaa ja tärkeyttä kielenpuhujien mielessä kognitiivisen tärkeyden indeksin avulla. Indeksin on kehitellyt Urmas Sutrop nimenomaan luettelointitehtävien analysointia varten. Suomalaisille kognitiivisesti tärkeimmiksi tunnesanoiksi osoittautuivat viha, ilo, rakkaus, suru, pelko, onnellisuus, kateus, ahdistus, väsymys, masennus, tuska, ihastus, tyytyväisyys, inho, jännitys, pettymys, kaipaus, rauhallisuus, ikävä, toivo. Tutkimukseni mukaan suomen kielen perustunteita ovat viha, ilo, rakkaus ja suru. Naisilla on runsaammin sanoja (23,0) tunteille kuin miehillä (17,6). Tunnesanastossa on enemmän negatiivisia (53 %) kuin positiivisia (43 %) sanoja. Tutkimukseni perusteella suomalaiset muun muassa ajattelevat toisista ihmistä enemmän hyvää kuin huonoa ja itsestä enemmän huonoa kuin hyvää.

Cette thèse analyse le contenu idéologique exprimé à travers les unités lexicales du vocabulaire du premier journal imprimé périodique en langue portugaise, la Gazeta de Lisboa. Elle vise également à mettre en évidence les stratégies linguistiques et discursives conçues socialement et par lesquelles les utilisateurs d’une langue expriment leurs opinions et leurs points de vue à travers le lexique. Cette étude est liée à la théorie linguistique de la Lexicologie, développée dans une perspective discursive, fondée sur un modèle dialogique de l’énonciation, qui considère les mots comme porteurs de la mémoire d’usages. Nous partons du point de vue que le dialogisme est inscrit dans les mots et que le choix des unités de la langue utilisées dans les énoncés est négocié par l’interaction entre la réalité et le sens, qui est construit par la circulation de l’information dans la société. Nous avons mené des études sur les relations de signification entre 22 unités lexicales employées dans le corpus dans la narration de situations de désaccord ou de conflit, puis nous avons analysé des unités lexicales co-occurrentes ainsi que les idées qui leur étaient le plus souvent associées. Dans la troisième étape, nous avons évalué des éléments intradiscursifs et interdiscursifs et le genre. Les études menées ici prouvent que le choix des éléments du lexique utilisés pour nommer les référents dans les discours est en partie conditionné par des contraintes imposées par le genre et le discours, qui, ensemble, soulignent le point de vue des participants du discours et la connaissance partagée par la société. / This thesis provides an analysis of the ideological content expressed through the lexical units of the vocabulary of the first newspaper printed in Portuguese, the Gazeta de Lisboa. It also aims to highlight the linguistic and discursive strategies that are designed socially, and by which users of a language formulate their opinions and points of view through the lexicon. This study is linked to the to the linguistic theory of lexicology, developed in a discursive perspective, based on a dialogical model of enunciation, which believes that words carry the memory of past use and therefore have an intertextual dimension that determines their use according to the circumstances of utterance. We start from the stand point that dialogism is recorded in words, and the choice of language units used in the utterances is made on the basis of the interaction between reality andsense, which is built by the circulation of information in society. We selected 22 lexical units employed in the narration of disagreements or conflicts, relations of meaning between these units were analyzed, as well as the co-occurent lexical units and the ideas more often associated with them in the texts. Next, attention was focused on the discursive study of the occurrences of the word war, and we analyzed some intra-discursive and inter-discursive elements, and the gender. The studies made here prove that the choice of the elements of the lexicon used to name the referents in discourse is partly conditioned by the gender and the discursive practices associated with the words, which together highlight the point of view of the participants in the discourse and the knowledge shared by the society.

Thesis (M.A. (Translation studies and Lingustics)) --University of Limpopo, 2015 / The aim of this study is to investigate ambiguity in Xitsonga. There are many kinds of ambiguity, but the study mainly focuses on lexical and structural ambiguity. Lexical ambiguity occurs at word level and is caused by homonyms (homophones and homographs) and polysemes. Structural ambiguity occurs at sentence level. This kind of ambiguity manifests in the structure of the sentence itself. Data were collected through self-observation as a native Xitsonga speaker. Words and sentences with multiple meanings in Xitsonga were listed and tree diagrams were used to illustrate and disambiguate ambiguity. The study reveals that, like other languages, Xitsonga has words and sentences with double or many meanings. KEYWORDS AMBIGUITY, LEXICAL AMBIGUITY, STRUCTURAL AMBIGUITY, HOMONYM, HOMOPHONES, HOMOGRAPHS, POLYSEMES.

Orientador: Celso Fernando Rocha / Banca: Camila Höfling / Banca: Vera Helena Gomes Wielewicki / Resumo: Esta pesquisa lida com a morfologia, os sentidos e as simbologias de 35 criações lexicais mais frequentes na versão britânica da série Harry Potter e de seus correspondentes linguísticos pertencentes à versão brasileira. Nesse sentido, um dos objetivos da pesquisa foi identificar os processos de criação lexical mais recorrentes entre os vocábulos de ambas as versões. Outro objetivo foi verificar se os processos criativos dos vocábulos que não foram mantidos no texto de chegada influenciaram as escolhas morfológicas e lexicais da tradutora da série no Brasil, na criação de novas formas lexicais e no emprego de palavras já existentes em português em novos contextos ou com novos significados, no texto de chegada. Para tanto, foram descritos os processos criativos e os sentidos primários dos vocábulos em tela. A fim de facilitar a consulta das criações lexicais analisadas e de contextualizá-las, foi elaborado, também, um glossário bilíngue. Além disso, entre os dados obtidos, foram selecionados os vocábulos Dumbledore, Malfoy e Quirrell, que foram mantidos na tradução, com o intuito de realizar uma análise comparativa e detalhada acerca das relações simbólicas envolvendo os três vocábulos, nos textos de partida e de chegada. Em termos teórico-metodológicos, considerou-se a tradução como uma atividade interpretativa produtora de significados que nunca escapa da hierarquia de valores culturais da língua de chegada. Além disso, foram empregados os pressupostos da Linguística de Corp...

In this sense, one of the aims of the research was to identify the most recurrent lexical creation processes among the words in both versions. Another aim was to verify whether the creative processes of the words that were not maintained in the target text influenced the morphological and lexical choices of the translator of the series in Brazil, in the creation of new lexical forms and in the use of words already existing in Portuguese in new contexts or with new meanings, in the target text. For both aims, the creative processes and the primary meanings of the words in question were described. Also, to facilitate the consultation of the analysed lexical creations and to contextualise them, a bilingual glossary was elaborated. Furthermore, among the obtained data, the words Dumbledore, Malfoy and Quirrell, which were maintained in translation, were selected, in order to carry out a comparative and detailed analysis about the symbolic relations involving these three words, in the source and target texts. In theoretical and methodological terms, translation was considered as an interpretative activity that produces meanings and never escapes the hierarchy of cultural values existing in the target language. Furthermore, the presuppositions from ... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

The presented thesis examines lexical and pragmatic instruments used by the leading newspaper in Germany during the Second World War, the Völkischer Beobachter. The objective is to determine the importance of the choice of lexical and pragmatic instruments and the communication strategy applied to influence readers. The targeting of readers by the press is illustrated by descriptions of the political climate and specific historical events. The thesis links language, history and wartime politics. By drawing on academic literature, the author describes the historical context preceding the Second World War, focusing on political events and press bans. Selected key wartime events are linked to linguistic analysis. The National Socialist ideology, led by Adolf Hitler, assists in demonstrating the origins of the typical features of National Socialist language. The newspapers themselves, Völkischer Beobachter, and selected linguistic and pragmatic phenomena are also described. The selected examples were chosen on the basis of a search in the Völkischer Beobachter and subsequent analysis. The linguistic analysis consists of a lexicological classification into linguistic devices of emotionality, expressivity, metaphor, metonymy and idiomatic expressions. The pragmatic devices as communication strategies and...

The topic of this Master's degree thesis are the lexical loanwords from Italian to European Spanish from the diachronic point of view. The first part is dedicated to the problems of language contact focused on lexical borrowings, followed by the characteristics of Italianisms and the history of the mutual contact of Spain and Italy, that led to the adoption of Italian word in Spanish and vice versa. The adaption of Italianisms in Spanish language is also analysed. The research part of this work is based on the so far most extensive and complex publication about Italianisms in Spanish, which at the same time has been strongly criticized by the science community. The expressions marked in Terlingen's work as Italianisms from the field of commerce are submitted to dictionary analysis. Based on approximately 70 historical, etymological and contemporary Spanish dictionaries, it is being verified whether the chosen words are truly loanwords of Italian origin. Every entry has its origin, meaning and ortographical variations evaluated, and the attention is also drawn to the period of time of their first occurrence and their use in Spanish. These aspects are being studied both in historical and the contemporary language. Last, the conclusions about mercantile Italianisms in Spanish are phrased and the...

В работе рассказывается о том, сколько иностранных слов в китайском языке заимствовано в русский язык, путем поиска иностранных слов в китайском языке в 11 словарях и составления таблицы найденных иностранных слов, проникая в русскую речь заимствования становятся формой выражения обычаев и представлений русской культуры. Заимствования также делают русский язык современнее. Появление новых китайских вещей, новых китайских понятий в России требует заимствования новых слов из китайского языка. / The paper describes how many foreign words in Chinese have been borrowed into the Russian language by searching for foreign words in Chinese in 11 dictionaries and compiling a table of the foreign words found, by penetrating into Russian speech borrowings become a form of expression of customs and representations of Russian culture. Borrowings also make the Russian language more modern. The emergence of new Chinese things, new Chinese concepts in Russia requires borrowing new words from the Chinese language.
