The translation of proper names – a functional, onomastic theoretical approach I. Features of names as factors influencing translation The paper examines the questions surrounding the translation of proper nouns from an onomastic viewpoint blended with the results of translation studies, following a functional-communicational approach. Its goal is to create a model, which contains not only the applicable methods available to translators, but the (pragmatic and communicational) aspects and factors that could affect choosing between these. The novelty of the study is that it takes the meaning (denotation and connotation), the category (e.g. personal name) and sub-category (e.g. family name) of proper nouns into consideration, following the practices of prototype theory. Another innovative approach is the emphasise lain on the influence of composition on the translation of names. According to this, names consisting of several words should not be handled as single units, as earlier studies have consid-ered them, but following a two-step method: first holistically (e.g. the Eng. Flint Cliffs : Hung. Flint-sziklák, a place name), and then morphologically, while defining the categories of the name elements (e.g. Flint is a family name, cliffs is a common noun). This shows that translators are not completing a single operation but a combination of operations (transference in the case of the given name, and translation in the case of the common noun). Translations previously deemed ununderstandably heterogenous can thus be explained by applying this methodology.

Communicational Approach

Many are critical of the sermon today because it is essentially a “oneway” type of communication which offers little opportunity for feedback. But such arguments neglect the fact that the sermon does not have to stand alone. On the contrary, from a communicational point of view the sermon can and should be seen as simply one part of an overall communication network which exists in the church as a whole and which is largely unrestricted, allowing open feedback on the part of all. Thus, the real point to be emphasized is not that the sermon should be eliminated, but that conscious efforts should be made to complement the sermon with as many different avenues for feedback as possible. Only when this happens can preaching be maximally effective.

Communicational Approach

Information technology has long been recognised as a cause of social change. Recent developments in information technologies (IT), such as internet, intranet, and extranet, have stimulated considerable interest in how they will impact business organizations. Studies have largely examined the role that IT plays in improving information efficiency and synergies, in promoting collaboration and information sharing both inside and across organizations and in facilitating the transition to new forms of organizing. Most such studies take a technology-centric or human-centric approach. Whereas the former view reifies technology, assuming that its effects are predictable, stable, and performing as intended and designed across time, the latter minimizes IT to the point it becomes infinitely and flexibly interpreted. However, IT media are only significant to the extent that they do not only involve changes in and novel ways of communicating, but most importantly they change the meaning of what it is to communicate and the social and cultural frame that situates communication in unpredictable ways. Taking a communicational approach to organization, the present paper uses Jakobson’s 1960 semiotic model and ideas from Ihde (1990) to show how the implementation of intranets and email systems has amplifying and reducing effects on the interactions among members of a community. Finally, some implications for the theory of implementation of new technologies are drawn out.

The essay approaches the sociocultural and technological issues linked to the communicational process that exists in the user’s relationship with immersive digital environments, specifically: Virtual Reality (VR). A critical look at VR as a communication interface is launched, precisely because it indicates assumptions of enhancing the creation of meanings on media surfaces by leveraging multisensory stimuli that cause the immersion of individual’s body in a 360° framed experience. To instigate the problematization about transformations resulting from these techno-experience, empirical explorations are conducted to Brazilian immersive environments. In addition, data are qualitatively analyzed based on Kerckhove, Gumbrecht and Flusser and others ideas to illuminate the debate of technical-images, digital narratives and appropriations on technological devices, media languages and coding in the digital age.

Critical Aspects

This article reviews work that has examined situations, practices, objects and processes of communication in scientific and technical domains. It seeks to define the specificity of the communicational approach within the field of Science and Technology Studies (STS). It emphasizes the significance of the critical aspects of this approach during its emergence in the 1970s as distinct from other currents of research constituting the communicative approach in STS during the 1980s and 1990s. The discussion highlights the challenges of attempting to simultaneously address the singularity of forms, objects and situations while also accounting for the dynamics of space and time that affect communication issues within the STS field.Cet article présente des travaux ayant pris pour objet des situations, des pratiques, des objets et des processus de communication dans les champs scientifique et technique. Il propose ainsi de définir la spécificité de l’approche communicationnelle au sein du domaine « Sciences, technologies, sociétés » (STS). Il insiste sur la teneur critique de cette approche dans sa phase d’émergence au cours des années 1970-1980, et il distingue différents courants de travaux constitutifs de l’approche communicationnelle au sein des STS dans les décennies 1980 et 1990. Il souligne enfin la difficulté d’articuler à la fois l’attention à la singularité des formes, des objets et des situations et la prise en compte des dynamiques spatiotemporelles de grande ampleur qui influencent les enjeux de communication dans le domaine STS.
