Opis:: This essay showcases the results of a survey conducted on a sample of Italian speakers which focused on their perception of languages. The research, carried out in the second half of 2019, has enabled corroborating the initial hypothesis about the existence of preconceptions and stereotypes associated with the perception of foreign languages and cultures (Elman & McClelland 1986) by Italian people. In particular, a questionnaire was used to clarify which adjectives are commonly associated with selected foreign languages, in order to identify certain trends and stereotypes. The survey is based on ethnolinguistic and language education studies (Cardona 2006), and was performed through data collection techniques used in ethnography and sociolinguistics (Tagliamonte 2006).

Opis:: The aim of the study was an evaluation of different pattern of auditory processing lateralization in musicians and non-musicians. 41 people aged 20-46 participated in the experiment, from which two research groups were selected: musicians ‒ instrumentalists professionally active (N: 21) and non-musicians (N: 20). All of them were right-handed. The dichotic listening test (Kurkowski 2007) was used to assess the laterality of external stimuli. The examination showed the superiority of right-ear perception or binaural speech processing. In the study of non-focused attention, musicians achieved a similar rate of correct responses for the left and right ear, which indicates binaural processing, where they gave more correct responses for the left ear and fewer correct responses for the right ear than non-musicians. The difference between the groups is statistically significant. In the study focused on the right ear, both groups obtained similar high scores. In the left-ear study the musicians gave more correct responses from the perception of stimuli to the left ear than non-musicians. This research confirmed different pattern of auditory processing lateralization in musicians and non-musicians. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tytuł:: Nadsat in Translation: the Lexical World of A Clockwork Orange and the Two Versions of the Polish Translation
Nadsat w tłumaczeniu: leksykalny świat powieści A Clockwork Orange oraz dwóch wersji jej polskiego przekładu
Autorzy:: Górowska, Anna
Opis:: W niniejszej pracy magisterskiej podjęto próbę nakreślenia świata postrzeganego poprzez pryzmat języka powieści Anthony'ego Burgessa A Clockwork Orange, określanego jako Nadsat, oraz języków dwóch wersji jej polskiego przekładu autorstwa Roberta Stillera: Mechanicznej Pomarańczy i Nakręcanej Pomarańczy. W pracy wykorzystano metody ilościowe oraz narzędzia lingwistyki komputerowej. Składa się ona z trzech rozdziałów, uzupełnionych przygotowanymi przez autorkę dla każdej z trzech książek szczegółowymi słownikami Nadsat. W pierwszym rozdziale przedstawiono zakres badań, a więc autorów oryginału oraz tłumaczenia, a także pokrótce kontekst kulturowy, w jakim każda z trzech książek jest osadzona. Ponadto opisane zostały podstawowe funkcje i cechy charakterystyczne języka Nadsat. Drugi rozdział skupia się na teoretycznych podstawach badania: przedstawia Nadsat jako socjolekt, a także kreśli zależności pomiędzy językiem a postrzeganiem świata, opierając się na kognitywnej teorii języka oraz hipotezie Sapira-Whorfa. W trzecim rozdziale przedstawione zostały wyniki przeprowadzonej analizy. Nakreślono ogólny obraz świata wyłaniający się z języka powieści i jej przekładu, a także bardziej szczegółowe aspekty tego świata: człowieka, środowisko oraz życie społeczne w Nadsat.
The thesis represents an attempt to determine the world perceived through the language of A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess, called Nadsat, and two languages of the two versions of its Polish translation penned by Robert Stiller: Mechaniczna Pomarańcza and Nakręcana Pomarańcza. While working on the thesis, quantitative methods as well as tools of computational linguistics were used. The paper consists of three chapters, followed by detailed glossaries of Nadsat, prepared by the author for each of the three books. The first chapter presents the field of research, i. e. the authors of the original novel and its translation, but also briefly the cultural context, which each of the books is situated in. Besides, the basic functions and the characteristics of Nadsat are discussed. The second chapter focuses on the theoretical background for the research: it presents Nadsat as a sociolect but also describes the relation between language and the world perception, drawing upon the cognitive theory of language and the The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. In the third chapter, the author presents the results obtained from the performed analysis: the general image of the world emerging from the language of the novel and its translation as well as some more specific aspect of this world, i. e. the human, the environment and the social life in Nadsat.

Opis:: Numerous studies show that language (in its grammatical forms or morphology) can influence both perceptual judgments, as well as the mental categorization of objects in memory. Previous research showed that using diminutive names of objects resulted in being less satisfied with owning said objects and lowering their perceived value. In the present studies, to explore this phenomenon, we decided to investigate whether the influence of a diminutive on the reduction in the subjective value of an object is determined by the perceived size of the object, in accordance with the „bigger is better” heuristic. In Study 1 participants estimated a banknote to be smaller when it was presented with a diminutive label “banknocik” (banknote with diminutive) than “banknot” (banknote). However, this was not related to the perceived subjective value of the banknote. In Study 2 participants declared that they could buy less with a coin labeled as “pieniążek” (coin with diminutive) than “pieniądz” (coin), but the effect was not linked to the perceived size of the coins. In Study 3 a candy bar labeled as “batonik” (candy bar with diminutive) was evaluated worse than the same product labeled “baton” (candy bar), however, once again this was not related to the evaluation of its size (weight). Thus, we show that the effect of diminutives on the reduction in the subjective value of an object is independent of the evaluation of the size of the object and we consider other explanations for the occurrence of this phenomenon.

Opis:: This study reports the results of an action-based study conducted in an EFL class to examine whether digital video recordings would contribute to the enhancement of EFL learners’ oral fluency skills. It also investigates the learners’ perceptions of the use of digital video recordings in a speaking class. 10 Turkish EFL learners participated in this study. To determine the impact of digital video recording on EFL learners’ oral performance, the speaking module of IELTS was modified as pre- and post-test. In addition to the analysis of the scores assigned to the learners by two raters using an analytic scale, an analysis of learners’ discourse in pre- and post-test was undertaken to determine whether measures of fluency in learners’ output differ as a result of the video recording. The results suggest that the incorporation of digital video recordings into speaking classes improved the learners’ overall speaking proficiency; however, it did not lead to a significant improvement in learners’ oral fluency. Yet, the analysis of the qualitative data showed that the utilization of digital video recordings may not only bolster the learners’ self-confidence, but also encourage them to take risks with the target language.

Opis:: The role of corrective feedback in second language classrooms has received considerable research attention in the past few decades. However, most of this research has been conducted in English-teaching settings, either ESL or EFL. This study examined teacher feedback, learner uptake as well as learner and teacher perception of feedback in an adult Chinese as a foreign language classroom. Ten hours of classroom interactions were videotaped, transcribed and coded for analysis. Lyster and Ranta’s (1997) coding system involving six types of feedback was initially used to identify feedback frequency and learner uptake. However, the teacher was found to use a number of additional feedback types. Altogether, 12 types of feedback were identified: recasts, delayed recasts, clarification requests, translation, metalinguistic feedback, elicitation, explicit correction, asking a direct question, repetition, directing question to other students, re-asks, and using L1-English. Differences were noted in the frequency of some of the feedback types as well as learner uptake compared to what had been reported in some previous ESL and EFL studies. With respect to the new feedback types, some led to noticeable uptake. As for the students’ and teacher’s perceptions, they did not match and both the teacher and the students were generally not accurate in perceiving the frequency of each feedback type. The findings are discussed in terms of the role of context in affecting the provision and effectiveness of feedback and its relationship to student and teacher perception of feedback.

Opis:: The present study seeks to determine whether superior musical hearing is correlated with successful production of second language (L2) intonation patterns. Fifty Polish speakers of English at the university level were recorded before and after an extensive two-semester accent training course in English. Participants were asked to read aloud a series of short dialogues containing different intonation patterns, complete two musical hearing tests measuring tone deafness and melody discrimination, and a survey regarding musical experience. We visually analyzed and assessed participants’ intonation by comparing their F0 contours with the model provided by their accent training teachers following ToBI (Tones and Break Indices) guidelines and compared the results with the musical hearing test scores and the survey responses. The results suggest that more accurate pitch perception can be related to more correct production of L2 intonation patterns as participants with superior musical ear produced more native-like speech contours after training, similar to those of their teachers. After dividing participants into four categories based on their musical hearing test scores and musical experience, we also observed that some students with better musical hearing test scores were able to produce more correct L2 intonation patterns. However, students with poor musical hearing test scores and no musical background also improved, suggesting that the acquisition of L2 intonation in a formal classroom setting can be successful regardless of one’s musical hearing skills.

Opis:: Phonetic education is presented in this contribution as a pedagogical approach and didactic method for teaching and acquiring phonetic-phonological competence in the foreign language classroom at school. To develop such competence, we should overcome the school practice that still today does not seem to deviate from the listen-and-repeat method: the teaching of articulatory phonetics is proposed as a method and tool for learning based on self-consciousness. By discovering the sound dimension of language, and the bodily reality through which it is realised, the student undergoes an educational experience based on perception. The formative value of a phonetic education is framed in the perspective of body pedagogy, in line with an inclusive and democratic approach to language education.

Opis:: Task-based Language Teaching in Asia, especially Indonesia, was more popular in foreign language English teaching. The approach that focuses on the student is regarded to be more efficient than the traditional one. This study was undertaken so as to find out the attitude and perspective of learners regarding implementing language teaching based on tasks (TBLT). 96 learners of the Islamic Junior high school in Indonesia were randomly selected. In order to investigate participants' attitudes and perceptions a task based questionnaire has been designed. By employing the Likert Scale, data were evaluated quantitatively. The results of the study demonstrate that most EFL Indonesian learners have generally good attitudes and views concerning TBLT and so most of them like to join in TBLT English class. In other words, EFL learners are ready to adapt to a new methods of language learning because they are willing to apply TBLT successfully. In this study, some major issues highlighted by the results will be examined and some significant suggestions made by the results are discussed.

Opis:: In reference to cultural patterns in collectivistic societies, teaching and learning are greatly influenced by the teachers’ collectivistic or individualistic cultural orientation (Kaur & Noman, 2015). However, in dealing with both audiences and their teaching platforms, a chasm appears between methodologies and their applications since collectivistic societies are reluctant to accept methodologies perceived as mere Western innovations. In other words, a seemingly pedagogical incongruence arises where direct individualistic Western influence is perceived as unsuitable to a collectivistic mindset. One must keep in mind that family members in collectivist societies, who view themselves as part of a group rather than independent individuals, seem to feel more interdependent and mutually responsible for each other. In addition to Vygotski’s assertion that children’s cognitive development is enriched through social interaction with more skilled individuals (1978), Bandura (1982) emphasizes that the degree to which learners believe in their own self-efficacy influences their functioning cognitively, motivationally, emotionally, and their decision making process. Also, self-efficacy is perceived to accelerate the process of adapting to a new environment while learners adopt new cultural practices and consent to norms and expectations. In our exploration, second-language learners (SLLs) from collectivistic societies advance academically—English as a second language included—within the frame of sociocultural theory, since they seem to be motivated by their culturally- induced sense of obligation to honor their parents and other group members. These SLLs are positively influenced by their prior experiences with the group’s perceptions and expectations of their capability to learn an additional language (Bandura & Schunk, 1981; Schunk, 1991). Our research seems to indicate that this outcome is significantly affected by the self-efficacy and self-reliance produced by prior successes in challenging tasks that may have been mandated by the SLL’s elders. In addition, SLLs also seem to succeed in accomplishing more challenging goals as they observe their families’ values and traditions even when they are in a society that enforces individualistic values.
