The writing of texts in more than one language by the same author referred to as a literary creation has a long history. It can be both the original composition and a self-translation by the author with a certain degree of revision of the initial text. The purpose of this article is to consider some cases of author’s bilingualism / polylingualism and analyze its varieties. The material for the research includes literary creations of a number of authors who lived in different historical periods (Joseph Flavius, Ulrich von Hutten, Oscar Wilde, Vladimir Nabokov, Joseph Brodsky, Yevgeny Yevtushenko, Sholom Aleichem, etc.). Usually, in cases where the author uses two / more languages, the opposition of a native language / the second (third, etc.) language is observed. There is also a particular issue of treating the possibility of having more than one native language. In general, in such cases we deal with colloquial / modern languages used by corresponding communities as means of communication. However, there are also situations where one member of a bilingual pair is a language of the culture (Latin and new languages at the Renaissance, Yiddish and Hebrew among a number of Jewish authors, etc.). In any case, the question may arise as to how balanced this kind of bilingual creativity is. Using the categories of sociolinguistics, this issue can be formulated as follows: has the writer retained the code-switching (if yes, then what is the relative importance of both languages in his creative activity) and has it not resulted in a language shift, that is, an almost complete transition to one of the members of the bilingual pair.

Exemplary for other than English-language psychology journals, the impact of recent Anglicization of five former German-language psychology journals on (1) authorship (nationality, i.e., native language, and number of authors, i.e., single or multiple authorships), (2) formal characteristics of the journal (number of articles per volume and length of articles), and (3) number of citations of the articles in other journal articles, the language of the citing publications, and the impact factors (IF) is analyzed. Scientometric data on these variables are gathered for all articles published in the four years before anglicizing and in the four years after anglicizing the same journal. Results reveal rather quick changes: Citations per year since original articles’ publication increase significantly, and the IF of the journals go up markedly. Frequencies of citing in German-language journals decrease, citing in English-language journals increase significantly after the Anglicization of former German-language psychology journals, and there is a general trend of increasing citations in other languages as well. Side effects of anglicizing former German-language psychology journals include the publication of shorter papers, their availability to a more international authorship, and a slight, but significant increase in multiple authorships.

Language Spoken At Home

This creative arts-based inquiry explores an individual case of Mother Language shift and loss through poems and paintings. Language shift is often defined in the Canadian context as the process whereby “individuals abandon their native language as the principal language spoken at home and adopt another” (Sabourin & Bélanger, 2015, p. 727). But is abandon the right verb? And what about adopt? A abandona inseamnă ca ai avut o alegere de făcut. A adopta also means you had a choice and you consciously made it. What if your limba maternă hid in your body, s-a ascuns, out of fear? And what if it still lives inside of you at the cellular level, in your body’s home, adânc, aşteptând momentul potrivit to resurface? These poems and paintings explore the feelings of home as mother tongue, and the effects on identity of gradually losing a first language.

All aspects of literary creation, from creation to expression, have been recorded with perceptive insights and in minute detail by the renowned Sanskrit literary critics. The main topics dealt with by these critics are: the definition and classification of literary creation, viz., poetry, prose, drama etc; the figures of speech (alamkaras), the sentiments (rasas), literary merits and defects (gunas and doshas), style (ritis), and purpose (prayojana). They discuss important ingredients of literary creation such as creative talent (pratibha), erudition (vyutpatti) and practice (abhyasa), the problem of coincidence (samvada), inexhaustible resources, etc. A great literary creation is one that has great imageries, natural descriptions, exquisite miniatures, precious maxims and keen observations of men and matter, besides revealing deep understanding of human character. It exhibits precise phrasing, proportion and restraint, delicacy, sensitiveness, and above all, a profound suggestiveness. Sanskrit literary critics’ views on the relative importance of word and sense in literary creation, their concept of poetry which has spontaneous expression of a deeply felt emotion as its essence, their appeal to make new literary creation, their views on what is essential for literary creation-all these are very valuable contributions towards literary creation. The main purpose of this paper is to help budding literary creators in any language irrespective of time and place by providing new insights.

AbstractThe current study examines Mestizo adolescent and post-adolescent speakers’ overt language attitudes towards their language varieties and bilingual/trilingual codeswitching. Results show that contrary to previous studies where code-switching has typically been negatively perceived even by the speakers themselves, codeswitching has thrived in Belize, particularly among post-adolescent speakers, because they are positively predisposed to code-switching and associate it with their multilingual identity. In contrast, the use of monolingual varieties of Spanish is marked and pejoratively perceived, especially among high school speakers. Interview data revealed that an incipient trend among younger high school speakers is to employ more Belizean Kriol and less Northern Belizean Spanish and codeswitching. This is a trend which merits further investigation as it may be pointing to the genesis of a strong pan-Afro-Belizean linguistic identity among younger Belizeans which cuts across ethnic lines, and which consequently holds implications for issues of language dominance, language shift, and language policy and planning in Belize.

AbstractThis article deals with code switching in a corpus of narratives collected in Sia Pedee (Chocoan) among the Épera of the northern Pacific coast of Ecuador. The reinsertion of Sia Pedee in the nowadays dominant Spanish-speaking ethnic community has resulted in older speakers making use of code switching as a way to flag their ethnic identity and index their attitudes towards propositional content. While code switching seems to be inducing certain incipient changes in Sia Pedee, the seriously endangered state of the native language would prevent those changes from taking definite shape. Similarly, the diglossic condition of Sia Pedee before Spanish is preventing the crystallization of a systematic pattern of language mixing.

The article considers innovative forms of studying and teaching Russian as a foreign language, methods of using new technologies in the practice of teaching non-native language, advantages and disadvantages of new multimedia educational systems. Since teaching a foreign language is, first of all, a communicative activity of students, the teacher needs to intensify the activity of each student in the process of mastering new lexical forms and structures, create living situations for their creative activity. To date, there are many non-standard forms of teacher work that increase the attention and interest of students in both foreign language and culture, history and spiritual heritage of the language studied. This article presents several types of innovative working methods when studying texts, vocabulary and performing practical tasks in a foreign audience.

В статье выявляются закономерности творческой эволюции Анны Баранович (1906-2002), которая принадлежит к поколению бессарабской интеллигенции, стоявшему у истоков формирования искусства республики, чья судьба неотделима от нелегких исторических периодов. Желание выразить красками суть того, что ее интересовало в жизни, вело к усложнению задач. Но сохранялось главное – потребность в гармоническом единении с окружающим миром. Художница выражала энергию жизни в мотивах природы, в облике человека. Целостностью форм и колорита она могла придать эпическое звучание даже небольшим полотнам с простыми предметами, плодами, цветами. Они передают заряд жизнелюбия, сохраненного автором вопреки испытаниям судьбы. Живопись последних лет ее жизни выделяется наиболее активным светоизлучением. This article is making known some characteristic features of evolution in creative activity of Anna Baranovichi (1906-2002). Famous painter, she was a part and parcel of the generation of those Basarabian intellectuals who have put the basis in fine arts’ development in the republic, her fate reflecting in many respects the difficult historical periods. In order to make the colours to express the essence of things and phenomenon of human being, she has always put in her painting the more sophisticated tasks. In her landscapes and portraits she has been expressing the energy of life, keeping the necessity of harmonious unity with the world around. The integrity of forms and colours in her works were giving the epic response just in the case of small canvas with simple objects, flowers or fruit. Her last works are notable for the most active emanation of light, reproducing the supply of love for life that the painter has kept in spite of the or deals of the fate.

Revising the Use of Differentiation in Text-Based Tasks in the Context of Ukrainian–Polish BilingualismThis article describes the specifics of Ukrainian–Polish bilingualism which can be observed in the territory of Ukraine and the present opportunities for studying Polish and Ukrainian. Various ways of using differentiation text-based tasks are proposed in the context of Ukrainian–Polish bilingualism. The article contains a description of differentiation in line with different types of activity. The completion of tasks aimed at familiarization with the text, text analysis, reconstruction, production, and complementation is possible due to different variants of content correlation in Polish and Ukrainian. The differentiation of activities during text analysis, supplemented by students’ own reflections and the results of their creative activity, is realized by finding answers to questions in the text posed in Polish, formulating answers to the questions, and completing the questions. This is made possible in different ways depending on the language used, be it Polish or Ukrainian. Task completion on the reconstruction, construction and complementation of texts is conducted in a similar manner. In case of difficulties, it is possible to use one’s native language in determining the main idea of the text, drawing up a plan, comparing two texts, etc. The use of different types of translation is an important method of differentiation when working with texts. The author also considers native language materials in a textbook’s methodological guidelines to be useful. O kwestii zastosowania zróżnicowanego podejścia podczas opracowywania tekstów przez studentów w warunkach dwujęzyczności ukraińsko-polskiejAutorka omawia cechy dwujęzyczności ukraińsko-polskiej na Ukrainie oraz dostępne możliwości nauki języka polskiego i ukraińskiego. Przedstawia sposoby zastosowania zróżnicowania w pracy uczniów z tekstami w warunkach dwujęzyczności ukraińsko-polskiej. Zamieszcza opis tego zróżnicowania w zależności od rodzaju pracy z tekstem. Podaje, że wykonanie zadań związanych z zapoznaniem się z tekstem, jego analizą, odtworzeniem, konstrukcją i uzupełnieniem tekstu jest możliwe dzięki różnym korelacyjnym opcjom materiału w języku polskim i ukraińskim. Rozróżnienie podejścia podczas analizy tekstu zostało uzupełnione wyrażaniem własnych opinii przez uczniów i wynikami ich działań twórczych. Są one realizowane również poprzez wykonywanie zadań mających na celu odnalezienie w tekście polskim odpowiedzi na pytania, ułożenie takiej odpowiedzi i uzupełnienie pytań. Jest to możliwe do zrobienia w różny sposób, w zależności od użycia języka polskiego lub ukraińskiego. Podobnie uczniowie wykonują zadania polegające na streszczaniu, konstruowaniu i uzupełnianiu tekstów. W przypadku powstania trudności możliwe jest użycie języka ojczystego przy ustalaniu głównej myśli w tekście, sporządzaniu planu, porównywaniu dwóch fragmentów itp. Ważny sposób stosowania zróżnicowania w pracy z tekstem – to użycie różnych rodzajów tłumaczeń. Za przydatne autorka uważa również materiały w języku ojczystym zawarte we wskazówkach metodycznych podręcznika.
