Abstract:
I emigrated from Peru to the United States in the mid1980s. More than 20 years later, a short trip to Latin America helped me come full circle personally and professionally and close the gaps that I had felt developing over the past two decades. This opportunity was provided by a Fulbright Senior Specialist Program award at The University of Costa Rica in San Jose at the School of Modern Languages during 2008. The Fulbright experience was a renewal for me professionally, as it opened a window of opportunities to see the cultural and language commonalties and differences between my academic exp

Abstract:
This study aims to explore persuasion and emotion in Western political discourse, as triggered by the passing of the American IRA, an utterly protectionist act, ostensibly aimed at curbing inflation and fighting climate change. An ad hoc corpus has been compiled containing propagandistic speeches by Joe Biden and responses to this law by EU leaders Von der Leyen and Vestager. A contrastive analysis was carried out, to unveil the lexical traits of persuasive and politically correct language, and then to analyse emotional polarity in either subcorpus. Finally, a discussion on narratives through

Abstract:
The article deals with the peculiarities of colloquial vocabulary as a deviant element of speech, its naming, separation and methods of translation into target language. The ways of realization of colloquial words have been analyzed in the target text through full and adaptive transcoding. Colloquialisms are used by everybody, and their sphere of communication is comparatively wide. These are informal words that are used in everyday conversational speech by cultivated and uneducated people of all groups. Such elements include slang and dialects. Vast use of informal words is one of the promine

Abstract:
The article highlights the cognitive and linguistic aspects of Ukrainian humorous discourse during the full-scale Russian invasion, focusing on the process of interference of words of foreign origin. Particular attention is paid to lexemes and their reinterpretation through cognitive patterns, such as availability heuristics, negative thinking, the accessibility cascade, the friend-foe pattern, the effect of contrast and stereotypical expectations. The study reveals a variety of stylistic means of comism that are caused by the interference of words of foreign origin in humorous Ukrainian disco

Abstract:
An ideologically-bound unit is a reference to a specific ideology that exists in the context of a particular epoch, and can be explored as an intrinsic element of the global vertical context. Undoubtedly, ideologemes represent a certain challenge for simultaneous interpreters who are not always able to adequately perceive the global vertical context of the source utterance and to properly convey the associative and connotative potential of these units. The present study is undertaken to pinpoint the peculiarities of the modern American political discourse, namely the public speeches of Donald

Abstract:
When deaf people work in professional environments and participate in public events, we are often accompanied by sign language interpreters. This usually means wonderfully enhanced access – we can learn, participate and network in ways which are difficult if not impossible on our own. But while we often try to insist that our interpreters are ‘invisible’, that we are the ones learning, engaging in dialogue and consuming services, we are regularly bemused by the public fascination and focus on our interpreters – sometimes at the expense of their attention to us. When interpreters are in our mid
