Today, Vietnamese physicians are directing their attention towards works on semantic relations in medical writing in Vietnamese by trying to build terminological databases using phrasal terms. Phrasal term patterns from the common language are examples of motivated form term formation and comply with terminology policy guidelines in Vietnam. The object of this paper is to examine the typology of various constructions of phrasal terms in recent Vietnamese medical terminology, to describe how medical phrasal terms can be produced by their users in Vietnamese medical literature and to show the role of phrasal term patterns in the democratisation of knowledge.

In every society, civilized or not, there is a prejudice against the mentally ill. This prejudice is transmitted to children through a thousand ways, including mass media, which despite appearances, has not markedly changed. In this light of at least a latent social prejudice, what happens to persons exposed to the influence of medical science? How do they change from stereotyped thinking concerning the mental patient, to scientific thinking? It seems that linguistic analysis might help the understanding of the conceptual evolution of doctors and nurses. The common language, having at the same time a denotative and a connotative meaning, every science cannot be happy with it. It must constitute a specialized language, a jargon, which is strictly limited to the denotative meaning. For example, the term ‘crazy’ as used in common language will be designated in psychiatric jargon by technical terms such as ‘psychotic’, ‘hebephrenic’, etc. The expressive role of language being totally excluded from scientific jargon, it is quite possible that a secret and informal language, a slang, will be spontaneously constituted. From an indifferentiated common language evolve, in a scientific milieu, two differentiated languages, a jargon and a slang. This hypothesis seems to be supported by the results of a brief enquiry in a French-speaking hospital: certain slang expressions used secretly to designate a mental patient were found, such as ‘un cas de psy’, ‘un erodé’, ‘un cas de crodome’ and ‘un cas de crodosarcome’. Similarly, psychiatrists were named ‘poètes’ or ‘ceux du vague à l'âme’.

SummaryIn this paper, we present a unified hypothesis about «focusing» conjunctional adverbs and subordinating conjunctions in French. A similar hypothesis is to be taken to hold at all romance languages as we argue after Piot (2003) mentioned above. At first, differences are to be observed between this case (with “focus”) and another case in which the same conjunctional items are purely conjunctions (coordinating or subordinating, but without “focus”). Then, we point out which are the common semantic and syntactic properties of the global “focus” operation related to all these items (parallelism between sentences and nominal phrases correlated by these conjunctional items, inclusion or union semantic relations between nominal phrases in some respects ensembles theory relations alike: the addition of syntactic-semantic specific items shares this inclusion or union relation). In particular, this study highlights, as a result, the role of the subject nature of the conjoined first sentence and the syntactic-semantic nature of the verb-phrase in the second sentence. Another study (to appear) will present the results about distinctions in this operation according to the particular significance of each different item.

The conclusion uses the contrast between the English verse anthology Belvedere, published by John Bodenham in 1600, and Erasmus’ proverb collection of 1499 to suggest how literary culture in England evolves in the course of the sixteenth century: the role of literary arbiter is transferred from an international scholar of formidable learning to an upwardly mobile grocer with a taste for poetry, and the resources of literature have been transferred from Latin, the common language of Europe, to common English. This concluding chapter reprises the themes and argument of the book and ends with the observation that by 1600 the commonalty was not just the labouring class, but also constituted a readership and an audience.

Within the past years, the Green New Deal (GND) became the common language for Northern climate politics, offering a seeming exit path from Northern social and ecological crises while erasing an older Northern climate discourse tied to Southern demands for climate reparations and rights to development. This Eurocentric GND has become the environmental program for an equally Eurocentric social democratic renewal. This article situates the GND in world-systemic shifts, and Northern reactions to such shifts. It situates the GND as one of three possible Eurocentric solutions to the climate crisis: a great elite transformation from above; a left-liberal “reformist” resolution; a social democratic resolution. It then elaborates a possible “People’s Green New Deal,” a revolutionary transformation focused on state sovereignty, climate debt, auto-centered development, and agriculture. Within each proposed resolution, it traces the role of the land, agriculture, and peasants.

The article focuses on the issue of participation of lexical-semantic variants of the polysemous noun Eng. fire in the process of formation of phraseological units. The goal of our article is to find out how the semantic range of the polysemous noun Eng. fire is reproduced in the structure of idioms. To achieve this goal, the author uses the following research methods: descriptive, comparative, the method of dictionary definitions, the method of phraseological application to establish phraseological meanings, as well as the method of establishing the content of language stereotypes. Occasionally, the historical and etymological methods were used, as well as methods of frame modeling and quantitative estimation. The author describes the peculiarities of actualization of the system of lexical meanings of the polysemantic noun Eng. fire at the phraseological level and establishes structural types of phraseological units which are formed with the help of semantemes of the noun Eng. fire. The object of our research is English phraseological units sharing the common key lexical component � polysemanti� noun of thermal semantics Eng. fire. We conduct the research using not only nominative and predicative idiomatic phraseological units, but also comparative phrases, proverbs and speech formulae. In modern phraseology the problem of interrelationships between the lexico-semantic and lexico- -phraseological levels of the language system is currently important. The specificity of functioning of polysemous adjective with thermal meaning Eng. fire in phraseological units is analysed within the framework of research of the general problem of interrelationships between the lexico-semantic and lexico-phraseological levels of the language system. The author finds general trends of sense development of this noun within the structure of idiomatic set phrases sharing the common key lexical component Eng. fire. The analysis shows that lexical meanings of the polysemantic of noun Eng. fire at the phraseological level are actualized unevenly and selectively. In the structure of nominative and predicative idiomatic phraseological units and comparative phrases the key noun Eng. fire implements almost exclusively its original �thermal� semanteme as a formative one, but its lexical semantemes used in the formation of idioms rarely coincide with its phraseo-derived meanings. Individual semantemes of the noun Eng. fire differ with respect to the number of phrasemes they occur in, besides there are many phraseo-derived meanings that don�t have the corresponding lexico-semantic variants of the noun Eng. fire, though some of them have synonymic lexical meanings. To continue the research of semantic relations between lexical and phraseological levels of the language we should involve to our analysis other parts of speech. This aspect, together with the use of information from other languages is necessary for our better understanding of the role of high temperature characteristics, objects and processes in linguistic world image.

Abstract For diets to meet the FAO definition of sustainable, they must be accessible and secure. One aspect of this is the food available in supermarkets and in people's homes; another is that available in public institutions such as schools, hospitals and workplaces. Public procurement officers are responsible for sourcing food in such spaces; it is therefore necessary for these agents to be empowered with knowledge on sustainable and healthy diets. Ministries need to unite around the common goal that is sustainability. In Copenhagen an innovative approach has been adopted to drive this. The Copenhagen Food Strategy is a multisectoral initiative that has been embedded at the contractual level, changing mindsets and practices with a two-way dialogue between those providing the food and those delivering it. It is important to communicate good examples to demonstrate how policy can work to achieve sustainable and healthy diets for all. A practical manual has been developed to train procurement officers so that best practice can be disseminated across the country. Using the SDGs as a common language, processes can be streamlined and disseminated across multiple sectors and councils to achieve healthy and sustainable diets for all.

This article focuses on the main contemplative principles of the ‘Heart Essence’ (sNying thig), a Tibetan Buddhist tradition that is characterized by a vision of non-duality and primordial wholeness. Due to this vision, which asserts an original reality that is not divided into perceiving subject and perceived object, the ‘Heart Essence’ advocates a contemplative practice that undermines the usual intuitions of temporality and enclosed selfhood. Hence, unlike the common principles of intentional praxis, such as deliberate concentration and gradual purification, the ‘Heart Essence’ affirms four contemplative principles of non-objectiveness, openness, spontaneity and singleness. As these principles transcend intentionality, temporality, and multiplicity, they are seen to directly disclose the nature of primordial awareness, in which the meanings of knowing and being are radically transformed. Therefore, the article will also consider the role of these non-dual contemplative principles in deeply changing our understanding of being and knowing alike.
