Calque In linguistics, a calque (/ˈkælk/) or loan translation is a word or phrase borrowed from another language by literal, word-for-word (Latin: verbum pro verbo) or root-for-root translation. Used as a verb, "to calque" means to borrow a word or phrase from another language while translating its components so as to create a new lexeme in the target language. "Calque" is a loanword from a French noun, and derives from the verb "calquer" ("to trace", "to copy").[1] "Loanword" is a calque of the German "Lehnwort", just as "loan translation" is of "Lehnübersetzung".[2] Proving that a word is a calque sometimes requires more documentation than does an untranslated loanword, since in some cases a similar phrase might have arisen in both languages independently. Examples[edit] "Flea market"[edit] "Skyscraper"[edit] "Translation"[edit] European languages of the Romance, Germanic and Slavic branches have calqued their terms for the concept of translation on these Latin models.[5] See also[edit] Notes[edit]

Bouba/kiki effect This picture is used as a test to demonstrate that people may not attach sounds to shapes arbitrarily: American college undergraduates and Tamil speakers in India called the shape on the left "kiki" and the one on the right "bouba". The bouba/kiki effect is a non-arbitrary mapping between speech sounds and the visual shape of objects. This effect was first observed by German-American psychologist Wolfgang Köhler in 1929.[1] In psychological experiments, first conducted on the island of Tenerife (in which the primary language is Spanish), Köhler showed forms similar to those shown at the right and asked participants which shape was called "takete" and which was called "baluba" ("maluma" in the 1947 version). Although not explicitly stated, Köhler implies that there was a strong preference to pair the jagged shape with "takete" and the rounded shape with "baluba".[2] In 2001, Vilayanur S. More recently research indicated that the effect may be a case of ideasthesia.[5]
Recursos en red para Filología Clásica Lunes, 24 de Noviembre de 2014 00:00 Desde noviembre de 2014 el diccionario está funcionando, aunque solo con una parte del lemario inicial propuesto, por lo que no forma un todo coherente. Un grupo de profesores de latín y griego, de secundaria y universidad, están trabajando para hacer un diccionario en red interactivo y didáctico. Estas son algunas de las características del Proyecto: Esperan que el diccionario con un lemario básico de 1500 palabras esté disponible en red en abierto antes de finalizar 2012. Saludamos esa iniciativa que es muy importante para la didáctica de la lengua griega dada la carencia de instrumentos adecuados para el estudio del léxico.
El Espejo Gótico: Cómo insultar en latín con elegancia El latín es el idioma más eficiente a la hora de insultar a alguien. Cada actitud inapropiada, torpe, o directamente criminal, poseía un insulto específico. Este nivel de excelencia se justifica por una sencilla razón: los romanos valoraban enormemente la fuerza del insulto, y lo convirtieron en una parte esencial del habla cotidiana. Comenzaremos por algunos insultos en latín de baja frecuencia, por clasificarlos de algún modo, y luego analizaremos los insultos más fuertes y creativos. También es importante mencionar que las traducciones de estos insultos en latín, en muchos casos, no significan una gran ofensa para nosotros, pero en la época de los romanos eran tomados como verdaderas afrentas. Uno de los insultos más frecuentes en latín era stulte, «estúpido». A la persona con malos hábitos a la hora de comer, que para los parámetros romanos debía ser alguien realmente grosero, se le llamaba ructator, «eructador». Paedicabo ego vos significa algo así como «voy a romperte el c*».

Chuang Tzu's Chaos Linguistics [The Seven by Nine Squares home page] by Peter Lamborn Wilson Contents Note Suggested method for reading the text: extensive quotations from "Chuang Tzu" (translations by A.C. The bait is the means to get the fish where you want it, catch the fish and you forget the bait. Does Taoism possess a "metaphysics"? Certainly later Taoism, influenced by Buddhism and Neo-Confucianism, developed elaborate cosmology, ontology, theology, teleology, and eschatology - but can these "medieval accretions" be read back into the classic texts, the Tao Te Ching, the Chuang Tzu, or the Lieh Tzu? Well, yes and no. Supernaturalism and materialism both appear equally funny to him. The Chuang Tzu must surely be unique amongst all religious scripture [3] for its remarkable anti-metaphysics. The universe comes into being spontaneously; as Kuo Hsiang points out [4], the search for a "lord" (or agens) of this creation is an exercise in infinite regress toward emptiness. But first let me define a few terms. Kuo Hsiang
Palindrome Semiotics A Chronotope of Revolution: The Palindrome from the Perspective of Cultural Semiotics By Erika Greber (Univ. of Munich / UC Irvine) In the following abstract, I propose to analyze the palindrome in terms of cultural semiotics and to explore the subliminal semantic concepts and metaphorological implications which are involved in the genre's postmodern renaissance and which articulate certain political anxieties (something which applies especially to the recent rise of palindrome writing and criticism in Russian, German and Serbo-Croatian literatures). (2) The palindrome, a special, restricted case of anagram, foregrounds the principle of letter permutation by its strictly sequential proceeding and thus has become the prototype and symbol of anagrammatic letter revolution (in Greek: anagrammatismos, in Latin: revolutio). The idea of the palindrome is closely associated with the material and corporeal aspect of verbal signification. Semyon Kirsanov (1966) Aleksandr Bubnov (1992) transl.
Four Things That Happen When a Language Dies Languages around the world are dying, and dying fast. Today is International Mother Language Day, started by UNESCO to promote the world's linguistic diversity. The grimmest predictions have 90 percent of the world's languages dying out by the end of this century. Although this might not seem important in the day-to-day life of an English speaker with no personal ties to the culture in which they’re spoken, language loss matters. 1. That’s what academic David Crystal told Paroma Basu for National Geographic in 2009. The effects of that language loss could be “culturally devastating,” Basu wrote. Languages have naturally risen and fallen in prominence throughout history, she wrote. 2. The official language of Greenland, wrote Kate Yoder for Grist, is fascinating and unique. Yoder’s article dealt with the effect of climate change on language loss. 3. “Medical science loses potential cures,” she writes. 4. What can you do about all this?
HOW DOES OUR LANGUAGE SHAPE THE WAY WE THINK? Humans communicate with one another using a dazzling array of languages, each differing from the next in innumerable ways. Do the languages we speak shape the way we see the world, the way we think, and the way we live our lives? Do people who speak different languages think differently simply because they speak different languages? These questions touch on nearly all of the major controversies in the study of mind. I often start my undergraduate lectures by asking students the following question: which cognitive faculty would you most hate to lose? Most questions of whether and how language shapes thought start with the simple observation that languages differ from one another. Clearly, languages require different things of their speakers. Scholars on the other side of the debate don't find the differences in how people talk convincing.
