Abstract:

Introduction. The article deals with the patrilineal system of the Kyrgyz and Russian languages. The results, studies of the terms of kinship of the patrilineal system of the Kyrgyz and Russian languages are presented. It is revealed that the kinship system of the Kyrgyz language belongs to the general Türkic vocabulary fund, and the system of kinship of the Russian language to the general Slavic vocabulary fund, and also considers the characteristic features of these lexical fields. Research methods: Synchronous-comparative, namely typological. The object of this article is a plan of the content of the lexical-semantic field of kinship in the Kyrgyz and Russian languages. Research results. The terms of kinship were considered, such as: «ata», «choӊ ata», «baba», «cuba», «zhoto» and others. The terms are conventionally named: «Patronyms of the older generation» (PSP) and we will try to determine the specifics within this functional field, based on lexicographic sources. The article will consider and identify the semantic features of the patrilineal system or patronyms of the older generation (PSP), the purpose of which is, firstly, a general characteristic that exists in the field of kinship terminology, and, secondly, the definition of the specifics of the language within this lexico-semantic group. Conclusions. The patrilineal kinship system assumes the primacy of the male generation for both Kyrgyz and Russian ethnolinguistics, but in the Kyrgyz language it has a deeper and more stable character.

Abstract:

The present work describes the discursive use in order to characterize how to use the spatial deictic expression here (aquí) using oral samples collected in the city of Santiago de Cuba. Our interest is aimed at exposing not only how this is a specialized way to designate the region next to the issuer, but how it is also possible to use it in other contexts. The expressed pragmatic content turns its use into a phenomenon of great interest that reflects the relationship between language and context in the very structure of languages.

Abstract:

The Yoruba language, a regional lingua franca in Nigeria, which belongs to the Kwa sub-family of Kordofanian phylum of the larger African language family, is spoken in Nigeria, Togo, Ghana, Liberia, Brazil, Cuba, etc. The language attests a very productive feature of reduplication which has attracted the attention of many scholars. But its extended form, tagged, “retriplication” in this paper, remains largely unexplored. This study examines the form and functions of reduplication and retriplication which are two morphological processes where the former serves as a pedestal to the latter. While applying the participant observation method to elicit data from main Yoruba cities in Nigeria, the Pulleyblank (2009) model, as well as the descriptive and context usage approaches are employed to analyse and discuss the data. The study reveals that while reduplication process actualises intensification, nominalisation, emphasis and comparative qualifying, retriplication serves for more intensification, wider nominalisation, more emphasis and superlative qualifying. The research further reveals that, while all cases of verb and adjective reduplicates can be retriplicated without generating unacceptable utterances in Yoruba, the gerundive reduplicates cannot culminate in retriplication. However, kinship reduplicate allows retriplication when stretched to the third generation. The paper concludes by calling for more study on retriplication in other languages of the world, particularly, African and Asian languages that massively exhibit the two phenomena.

Abstract:

In the early 80's, ideas of the communicative approach filtered through to Cuba, but in no way are these ideas widely used in language teaching in the country today. The importance of the tourism industry to Cuba over the past few years has resulted in a careful examination of language teaching for workers in the industry. As a result of this analysis, an experimental programme based on the ideas of the communicative approach was implemented at the Centre for Studies in Tourism in Havana in September 1987. A description of this programme will be presented. Special emphasis will be given to the difficulties encountered by teachers in a foreign language setting who had been previously used to teaching prescribed, teacher-centred, structural methods. One of the other experimental features of this programme was the incorporation of a Canadian focus into the teaching of English in tourism, in an attempt to move away from the consideration of the U.S. and Great Britain as the only sources of English language content and social context. Attempts to extend this type of programme to all sectors of tourism will also be described.

Abstract:

No presente artigo, refletimos sobre o modo como a ideologia se manifesta na linguagem. De maneira específica, analisamos as condições de produção do vídeo Impressões de Cuba, produzido pela Globo News, na semana do dia 17 de dezembro de 2014, quando Cuba e os EUA reataram suas relações diplomáticas. Consideramos para a nossa análise dois fatores fundamentais: o sujeito (jornalista) e a situação, na tentativa de compreender a produção discursiva e seus efeitos de sentido no vídeo sobre Cuba. O presente artigo defende que, para o jornalista, tomado por sua experiência direta e imediata da realidade, as coisas na Ilha já chegam, pelo imaginário, como significado evidente. Antes de ir a Cuba, a ilha já chegara como imagem para o sujeito, que deixa escapar, pela linguagem, seu posicionamento no discurso sobre Cuba.Abstract:Abstract: In this article, we discuss how the ideology is manifested in language.

Our analysis considers two key factors: the subject (the journalist) and the situation, in an attempt to understand the meanings produced about Cuba by the video. The article argues that, taken by his direct and immediate experience of reality, things on Cuban island already come, by the imaginary, as a clear meaning to the journalist. Even before going to Cuba, the island has arrived as an image for the subject, which lets out through the language, his position in the discourse about Cuba.Keywords: Discourse analysis, Ideology, Documentary, Globo News, Cuba

Abstract:

Recent developments in U.S-Cuba relations have resulted in a proliferating global interest in Cuba, including its legal regime. This comprehensive Guide aims to fill a noticeable void in the availability of information in English on this enigmatic jurisdiction's legal order, and on how to conduct research related to it. Covered topics include “The Constitution,” “Legislation and Codes,” “The Judiciary,” “Cuba in the International Arena,” and “The Legal Profession.” A detailed section on “Cuban Legal Materials in U.S. and Canadian Libraries” is also featured. Although the Guide emphasizes sources in English and English-language translation, materials in Spanish are likewise included as English-language equivalents are often unavailable. The Guide's 12 authors are members of the Latin American Law Interest Group of the American Association of Law Libraries’ Foreign, Comparative, and International Law Special Interest Section (FCIL-SIS).

Abstract:

Bilingual immigrants appear to have a health advantage, and identifying the mechanisms responsible for this is of increasing interest to scholars and policy makers in the United States. Utilizing the National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS; n = 3,264), we investigate the associations between English and native-language proficiency and usage and self-rated health for Asian and Latino U.S. immigrants from China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Mexico, Cuba, and Puerto Rico. The findings demonstrate that across immigrant ethnic groups, being bilingual is associated with better self-rated physical and mental health relative to being proficient in only English or only a native language, and moreover, these associations are partially mediated by socioeconomic status and family support but not by acculturation, stress and discrimination, or health access and behaviors.

Abstract:

Cuba has had many challenges to healthcare and education, particularly for its urban poor and rural citizens. The healthcare and education programs were restructured following the Cuban revolution led by Fidel Castro in 1959. The United States imposed an embargo on the country and ceased diplomatic relations in 1961. With the support of the Soviet Union, Cuba established programs that provide free healthcare and free education to all from preschool through university. The literacy rate in Cuba exceeds 99%. Its programs in health diplomacy and literacy promotion have worldwide recognition. With the end of the Cold War, Cuba was able to continue its programs of healthcare and education without Soviet support. In July 2015 a group of speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and hearing specialists visited Cuba to gain an understanding of the Cuban health diplomacy and education systems for persons with communication disorders. This article will look at healthcare services, health diplomacy, services for the deaf, and education in Cuba. With brief review of Cuba pre-and post-revolution it will present a review of Cuba healthcare and education today and a look at the future as the United States moves toward normalization of relations with Cuba.

Abstract:

During the war of independence in Cuba, which started in 1868 and lasted ten years, a number of texts appeared in Cuba and the United States detailing the conflict. All of these texts were written by men with the exception of one, published in the US, that was written by a woman. In this article I discuss this testimony and I compare it with another one published in Cuba after the war, also written by another female survivor. I discuss the way violence and the self is represented in these narrations, and most importantly how they build an archive of deeds to criticize Spain’s official (hi)story of the Cuban conflict.

Abstract:

Giannina Bertarelli (Italia, 1921-Cuba, 1994) ha sido citada en muy escasas ocasiones como parte del panorama cultural de Cuba. Sin embargo, fue una figura influyente no solo en la difusión de las literaturas italiana y francesa a través de sus traducciones, inicialmente para la revista Pensamiento Crítico y luego para el Instituto Cubano del Libro, sino también en los comienzos de la enseñanza del italiano en La Habana y en su rol como periodista. El presente trabajo de investigación pretende esbozar primeramente una breve biografía intelectual para rescatar del olvido la memoria de una mujer extraordinaria que llevó una vida novelesca al dejar su país de origen y establecerse de manera definitiva en una Cuba en plena trasformación política y social. La historia de su vida privada define las facetas de su labor como traductora, que serán expuestas aquí. El objetivo esencial de este trabajo es la reconstrucción del corpus traducido por ella y la reflexión sobre los autores extranjeros publicados (Mario de Micheli, Tommaso Landolfi, Giorgio Bassani, Ippolito Nievo y Alba de Céspedes, entre otros) para comprender los perfiles de las obras (temáticas, estilos, géneros) que Bertarelli asumió como traductora. Para ello se ha de dialogar con los estudios precedentes de naturaleza historiográfica y crítica sobre traducción y literatura europea publicada en Cuba.

Abstract:

Abstract This article discusses language ideologies in relation to political ideologies in the Cuban diaspora in the United States. The findings of three longitudinal attitude studies, two conducted using the methods of perceptual dialectology, and a third with the matched-guise method, indicated that the diaspora’s political beliefs have a robust effect on its beliefs about Cuban Spanish in the diaspora and in the homeland. The perceptions studies showed that the national variety has a high degree of prestige in the diaspora, and that it has very low prestige in Cuba. The results of the matched-guise test showed that participants were unable to differentiate voices recorded in the 1960s and the 1990s, and that social information about residence in Cuba or the diaspora was more important to judgments of correctness than the presence of nonstandard variants. It is argued that the diaspora’s language ideology is maintained through erasure and essentialization: social and linguistic facts are erased, and the homeland is racially essentialized. It is suggested that through its language ideology, the Cuban diaspora claims authenticity and legitimacy vis-à-vis the homeland.

Abstract:

Abstract Objective The ECLECTIC Framework (Fujii, 2018) provides seven components that are pertinent for understanding culturally diverse cases. Education and literacy, Culture and acculturation, Language, Economics, Communication, Testing situation, Intelligence conceptualization, and Context of immigration may impact neuropsychological test performance. Presented within this pediatric case study are examples of common difficulties encountered in conducting evaluations with ethnic and linguistic minorities, as well as considerations to increase equity and validity throughout the evaluation process. Case Description Maria is a 10-year-old, Spanish speaking female who moved from Cuba to the United States in November 2017. Maria relocated with her mother, who was pregnant at the time, and the family lives with Maria’s maternal great aunt. Per evaluations completed in Cuba, Maria has a history of intellectual disability, scoliosis, and untreated seizures. Although not documented, Maria’s mother reported that Maria has a prior diagnosis of “mild autism” made in Cuba. Maria receives special education services in the United States and previously received services in Cuba. Home language and academic instruction are in Spanish. Diagnostic Impressions and Outcomes Cognitive abilities are severely impaired and similar to those of a child between the ages of 2 and 4, with social skills showing more delay. Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder, with accompanying intellectual (Intellectual Disability, Severe) and language impairments is confirmed. A family history of intellectual deficits due to a genetic condition was reported. Consultations with both Neurology and Genetics/Dysmorphology services are highly recommended to understand the etiology of Maria’s significant and globally diffused impairments. Discussion For pediatric cases, the ECLECTIC Framework requires the components to consider the child in the context of their family and the intersectionality between parent and child.

Abstract:

This work uses data from two Spanish language newspapers: Granma from Cuba and El Nuevo Herald from Miami to analyze pragmatic and social factors that underlie the use of reported speech in news texts. This study examines pragmatic and social constraints on journalists’ choice of reporting speech structures. Journalists use direct speech to provide a literal quotation of another’s voice, whereas indirect speech is presents the journalists’ own rendition of the quoted words. The qualitative and quantitative analyses reveal that Granma and El Nuevo Herald exhibit different patterns of use of direct and indirect speech, which are motivated by the two newspapers’ ideological perspectives and the level of political and social power of the news actors.

Abstract:

Four waves of Cuban immigrants have arrived to the United States from the early 1960s with the fourth wave still in progress. The changing reasons these immigrants fled Cuba have resulted in diverse characteristics for each wave of immigration. This qualitative study investigated Cuban American students’ perceptions of their cultural background and Spanish proficiencies. The results of this study indicate that all participants possessed limited Spanish proficiencies and a strong desire to maintain their heritage. Implications are discussed in light of the current political climate in the United States.

Abstract:

In their oft-cited manifesto, the Martinican Creolists exhort Caribbean people to forego their continuing allegiances to the “mythical shores” of various old worlds, and to affirm instead the “alluvial Creoleness” that binds (or that ought to bind) them to each other, and to other communities across the globe with a similar plantation history: “Neither Europeans, nor Africans, nor Asians, we proclaim ourselves Creoles; “[the Creole language] is the initial means of communication of our deep self, or our collective unconscious, of our common genius, and it remains the river of our alluvial Creoleness.” Despite their qualifications – “Creoleness is an open specificity,” for example – they have been chided for simplifying the complicated socio-political histories of the region. Maryse Condé, for example, has noted that the opposition of colonizing French language and resisting Creole language ignores the extent to which plantation heterogeneity and negotiation rendered Creole a language of both “unity and compromise.” On what terms can alluvial relationships that can undercut imperial and diasporic ties be uncovered? What does the idea of a Creole unconscious solidify, restore, revivify, and for whom? In this essay, I am interested in a Jamaican-born novelist’s use of Cuba’s second war of independence in the 1890s to critique Jamaican complacency about British colonialism after the Second World War. Cuba, and a “Creole Latin” world more generally, allows him, on my reading, to proffer hispanophone and francophone plantation histories as a model for anglophone sensibilities in the region. The “Creole Latin” affirmation of nationalism, revolutionary struggle, and strong affective ties to the land and to personal relationships, are uncontaminated by the domineering spirit, legalistic prejudices, bureaucracy and commerce, and negotiated concessions that typify anglophone Protestant modes of life. Since the scene of these ideas in this case is the nineteenth century plantation, then we might ask if the social and political inequities are not reinforced, or whether the pleasures afforded by the romance make such considerations moot.

Multicoloured languages play an irreplaceable role in the whole world as a useful communication tool. With the development of technology and science, varieties of languages have an ideal prospective tendency to evolution during the long and wonderful history. Will they be thriving or decaying?To begin with, aimed to gain general tendency about the quantity of languages’ speakers, we employ the Grey prediction to capture associative curve which can be seen in figure(1). From the trend of this vivid figure, we not only can come to the conclusion that the number of English and Chinese users tend to increase but also find that Spanish development will reach the period of stagnation.Secondly, for further improvement, we take birth rate, death rate, economic factors and the immigration into consideration and establish the language communication model. This model is deduced from the population prediction model and virus transmission model. After data normalization, the eventual curve indicates that current top-ten languages seem to be replace by other languages. This transformation phenomenon also occurs among such top-ten languages. For instance, Hindustani will replace Spanish in the future when seen from table(1).What’s more, after predicting the migration pattern, we can draw the conclusion that some range of languages’ dissemination has obvious change. As show in vivid figure(14), we know English will popularize widely among neighbouring countries such as Canada, Mexico, Cuba and Russia.Moreover, with regard to how to manage international offices’ quantity and locations in the world, we construct the efficiency model with combination of the Bayes’ probability theory and Fussy comprehensive assessment. As a result, we obtain 9 optimal plans to establish the international offices. Intelligible result is showed in table(4) and table(5).Furthermore, taking the variation of global communication and shortage of nature resource into consideration, therefore, we propose the international company to set up no more than 5 offices. And 5 offices tend to be the most optimal plan.In short, our model is reasonable and feasible, which can accommodate to different situation.

Abstract:

Abstract This article studies the impact that the Cuban Revolution had on conservative political actors in Chile during the 1964 presidential campaign. At that time, Cuba served as a dystopian example for anticommunist forces through the direct identification between the Cuban experience and the Chilean Left. They utilized a “language of family” to give meaning to their rejection of any possible establishment of socialism in Chile. In this sense, an eventual electoral victory of the Marxist Left was seen as an attack—as in Cuba—on the stability of the family, traditional gender roles, and even parental control of their daughters’ sexuality. These representations were widely distributed through an anticommunist propaganda campaign known as the “campaign of terror,” which forged transnational networks among local actors, the CIA, and conservative Brazilian women. This triple articulation of anticommunism, Cuba, and gender became a potent discourse in the Chilean electoral campaign.

Abstract:

[First paragraph]The question of Spanish language usage among African-born slaves (known as bozales) and their descendents in Spanish America is the subject of much controversy, and has had a major impact on theories of Creole formation and the evolution of Latin American dialects of Spanish, Portuguese and French. Briefly, one school of thought maintains that, at least during the last 150-200 years of African slave trade to Spanish America, bozales and their immediate descendants spoke a relatively uniform Spanish pidgin or creole, concentrated in the Caribbean region but ostensibly extending even to many South American territories. This creole in turn had Afro-Portuguese roots, derived from if not identical to the hypothetical maritime Portuguese creole (sometimes also identified with the medieval Sabir or Lingua Franca) claimed to be the source of most European - based Creoles in Africa, Asia and the Americas.1 The principal sources of evidence come in 19th century documents from the Caribbean region, principally Cuba and Puerto Rico, where many (but not all) bozal texts share a noteworthy similarity with other demonstrably Afro-Portuguese or Afro-Hispanic Creoles in South America, Africa and Asia.

Abstract:

This article examines Alma Guillermoprieto's use of embodied knowledge in her memoir Dancing with Cuba. Descriptions of embodiment reveal her struggle to reconcile the values of modern dance with Ernesto Guevara's symbolic New Man—the ideal revolutionary used to promote physical labor as the means to a socialist utopia. I argue that Guillermoprieto solves this crisis by turning toward language, in particular language that activates the kinesthetic imagination—an archive of embodied experiences dancers rely on to engage choreography. An emphasis on embodied knowledge in the memoir shows how crucial dancing bodies are to the literary archive of the Revolution.

To perform Playback Theatre effectively, practitioners learn the language of their hosts, live in the same dwellings, eat the same food, and take part in daily activities. Most importantly, Playbackers listen to stories and play these back. Meer's anthropological research in Cuba has been to locate an essential Cuban "we." She finds that her work and Playback are similar in motivation and mission, a teatro comunitario.

Abstract:

During the first three decades of the twentieth century, hundreds of thousands of Haitian agricultural laborers arrived in Cuba seeking employment in the expanding sugar industry. Historically, Haitian cane cutters were marginal and occupied the lowest socio-economic status in Cuban society. Until relatively recently, the maintenance of Haitian spiritual beliefs, music, dance, and language in Cuba were associated with rural isolation and poverty. Today however, the continuation of Haitian customs is no longer linked with isolation, but exactly the opposite: performance troupes, heritage festivals, art exhibitions, the circulation of religious specialists, collaborations with research centers and academia, endorsement by music promoters, and the tourism industry. Cubans of Haitian heritage have found innovative ways to transform the abject into the exotic, and are currently gaining a public voice in cultural production, particularly through folkloric performance.

Abstract:

La historia de la porción oriental de la isla se puede estudiar desde diversos ángulos y criterios. Uno de ellos, quizás de los más apasionantes, es la búsqueda de las fronteras portuarias, asunto muy diferente de las marítimas. El tema, sin embargo, ha recibido escasa atención de la historiografía cubana. Por lo menos se ha publicado muy poco al respecto. Aunque se sabe de la importancia del comercio de contrabando o rescate se le ha dado muy poca relevancia a las gestiones de los terratenientes criollos del oriente de la isla para abrirse un espacio en el comercio internacional. Tampoco se ha valorado el papel que jugaron los puertos y embarcaderos en el oriente de Cuba.

ملخص البحث من الجوانب التي أثمرت عنها الدراسات البينية في التخطيط اللغوي؛ دراسة اقتصاديات اللغة، وعلى الرغم من الحراك الذي تشهده لغات عدة للإفادة من علاقة الاقتصاد باللغة خدمة للجانبين، فإن اللغة العربية لم تستثمر من تلك الزاوية الاستثمار الأمثل، وتحاول الورقة البحثية الحالية إلقاء بعض الأضواء على بعض المفاهيم ذات الصلة مثل اقتصاديات اللغة، والاستثمار اللغوي، والصناعة اللغوية، وعلاقتها بالتخطيط اللغوي والسياسة اللغوية، كما تسعى إلى استعراض بعض الحالات الراهنة للاستثمار اللغوي في بيئات مختلفة من العالم مثل بريطانيا، وفرنسا، وكندا، فضلاً عن بعض الاستثمارات اللغوية الرائدة رغبة لاستخلاص بعض الأوجه الممكنة للاستثمار في اللغة العربية مع الانطلاق من الأبعاد الاستراتيجية للعربية. توصلت الدراسة إلى أن الدول تتسابق لضخ رؤوس أموال كبيرة للاستثمار اللغوي رغبة في تنمية لغوية واستثمارية، وتحقيقا لعائدات اقتصادية كبيرة مباشرة وغير مباشرة، وأن هنالك حاجة ماسة إلى المزيد من الدراسات الاختبارية حول الاستثمار في اللغة العربية للإجابة بعمق حول مكامن الخلل، واستقصاء بعض حالات الاستثمار اللغوي الناجحة. الكلمات المفتاحية: التخطيط اللغوي-السياسة اللغوية-اقتصاديات اللغة-الاستثمار اللغوي-الصناعة اللغوية. Abstract: In many languages there is an attention to the relationship between the economy and the language. The Arabic language has not been discovered widely from that perspective. The present paper attempts to shed some light on the relevant concepts such as language economics, language investment, language industry and its relation to language planning and language policy. It also seeks to review some current cases of linguistic investment in different settings of the world such as Britain, France and Canada to draw some of the possible aspects of investment in the Arabic language. The paper concludes with a review of the most important obstacles to investment in Arabic, which includes the lack of awareness, the non-stimulating regulatory and investment environment, the unstable situation in the region and the stereotypical attitude toward Arab countries in the West. The study concludes that many countries had invested in language significantly to develop this aspect to prepare for acquiring huge, direct and indirect economic revenues. There is an urgent need to sponsor experimental studies to uncover the potentials of investing in Arabic to point out the existing shortcomings vis-à-vis the successful language investment situations. Keywords: language planning- language policy- economics of language- language investment – language industry. Abstrak Dalam banyak bahasa, perhatian diberikan kepada hubungan antara ekonomi dan bahasa. Dalam hal ini, bahasa Arab masih belum lagi terdedah dengan meluas dari sudut tersebut. Kajian ini cuba untuk menumpukan kepada beberapa konsep berkenaan yang relevan seperti aspek ekonomi bahasa, pelaburan bahasa, industri bahasa dan hubunganya dengan perancangan dan polisi bahasa. Ia juga bertujuan untuk menyemak kembali beberapa keadaan semasa berkenaan dengan pelaburan bahasa dalam pelbagai konteks di dunia seperti di Britain, Perancis dan Kanada untuk merumuskan aspek yang mungkin untuk mengembangkan pelaburan terhadap Bahasa Arab yang antara lain yang diperhatikan ialah: kekurangan kesedaran, peraturan dan persekitaran pelaburan yang tidak memberangsangkan, ketidakstabilan Timur Tengah dan juga tanggapan stereotaip terhadap negara-negara Arab oleh Barat. Kajian ini merumuskan yang banyak negara telahpun melabur secara besar-besaran di dalam industri bahasa untuk membangaunkannya untuk seterusnya mendapatkan pendapatan ekonomi berskala besar secara langsung atau tidak langsung. Keperluan untuk menaja kajian percubaan untuk menyingkap potensi melabur dalam bahasa Arab adalah mendesak demi untuk menunjukkan jurang di antara bahasa Arab dan beberapa keadaan pelaburan bahasa lain yang berjaya. Kata kunci: perancangan bahasa – polisi bahasa – aspek ekonomi bahasa – pelaburan bahasa – industri Bahasa.
