“…One of the most important grammatical characteristics of the Bulgarian language which sets it apart from the rest of the Slavic languages is the existence of a definite article. Bulgarian possesses high number of verbal forms and a strongly developed category of verbal aspect ( (Dimitrova, Koseska, 2012), (Dimitrova, Koseska, Roszko, D., & Roszko, R., 2009a, 2009b). …”

This paper briefly presents a web-application for the presentation of bilingual aligned corpora focusing on Bulgarian as one the two paired languages. The focus is given to the description of the software tools and user interface. The software is developed in IMI-BAS and will be hosted on a server there. Some examples of the usage of the web-application for the presentation of a Bulgarian-Polish aligned corpus are included.

“…Very few solutions have been proposed for semantic tagging of parallel corpora and this impedes the improvement of machine translation, so demandable in the modern world. This issue has been discussed (Dimitrova, Koseska-Toszewa 2012), (Dimitrova, Koseska-Toszewa, D. Roszko and R. Roszko 2009), (Dimitrova, Koseska-Toszewa, Roszko, D. and Roszko, R. 2011).…”

Dialog between a Lexicographer and a TranslatorThe discussion between the authors of the paper concerns the most pressing issues encountered in natural language semantics, as well as in corpus linguistics and computational linguistics. A broad range of knowledge, allowing linguists and information scientists to work together, is required in these areas. The paper describes some primary problems of human and machine translation caused by gaps between different fields of knowledge. The authors suggest that interdisciplinary approach is required when it comes to contrastive studies in linguistics.

“…The topic of this article has not been studied contrastively in the recent years. In the 21 st century, parallel corpora developed for some languages (Dimitrova, Koseska 2009;Dimitrova, Koseska, Roszko, D., Roszko, R., 2010;Duszkin, Satoła-Staśkowiak, 2011;Dimitrova, Koseska, 2012) made easier collecting data for research on forms and expressions of address and politeness. So far the studies in this field have focused mainly on data coming from specific languages.…”

Forms of Address and their Meaning in Contrast in Polish and Russian Languages

Forms of Address and their Meaning in Contrast in Polish and Russian LanguagesMany studies in contemporary linguistics focus on investigating politeness and rudeness in language. This paper, however, has not been intended as a contrastive study of the phenomena in question. Language politeness and rudeness are conveyed by means of expressions of politeness and rudeness which are perceived as entrenched and recurring in specific situations. These expressions convey the expected meaning of politeness and rudeness accepted in the model of social behaviour. If one uses the explicative method such expressions could be reduced to the following formula ‘I inform you that I follow a verbal conduct defined as polite’. Owing to the emergence of parallel corpora of particular languages, it is nowadays easier to collect data for research on forms of address as well as on expressions of politeness in the first half of the 21st century. Investigating the meaning of forms of address, which are part of linguistic repertoire used to express politeness and rudeness should be regarded as an interesting area of research. It is the consequence of the increasing importance of intercultural communication, expansion of international cooperation, and formation of new standards of interpersonal communication aimed at achieving mutual understanding without resorting to violence. It is worth mentioning that currently there are no bilingual dictionaries which would include practical rules for using forms of address. Moreover, dictionaries (especially bilingual ones) also do not list classifiers of politeness, which becomes a shortcoming as regards the purposes of translation and teaching foreign languages. The aforementioned problems apply to print as well as computer dictionaries. A reliable list of forms of address and their meaning may become helpful in intercultural communication. It would be also important to create a Contemporary Dictionary of Expressions of Politeness and Rudeness in a paper as well as a computer version.
