  • Phraseology in Technology (Different Projects Related to Terminology) • A) to Present Examples of Relevant Naval Phraseology in English
    PHRASEOLOGICAL AND CORPUS-BASED STUDY OF NAVAL DISCOURSE ENGLISH-SPANISH 13TH TEACHING AND LANGUAGE CORPORA CONFERENCE Dr. Silvia Molina Plaza [email protected] Technical University of Madrid Aims of this workshop Introduction: the importance of phraseology in Technology (different projects related to terminology) • a) To present examples of relevant naval phraseology in English. • b) Look into the origin of common metaphorical & metonymic expressions in English, including unofficial terms. • c) Study these metaphorical units in their contexts of production (EU institutional discourse and written and academic genres). • d) Discuss neologisms. Introduction:Technical Phraseology in the 21st Century (1) • Collocations are a fundamental category of (multi-)word combinations, to which particular attention has been drawn by the domain of phraseology. • The complex nature of this variety of multi-word expressions makes collocations particularly problematic in terms of the search for equivalents across languages> from a translation- quality-assessment perspective and from the dictionary- compilation-and-evaluation viewpoint in lexicography. • There are different projects for plurilingual terminology: Ø IATE (Interactive Terminology for Europe) Ø HUMANTERM (phrasemes related to human aid and NGOs) Ø SIETERM (Intelligent systems and renewable energies) Ø NEURONEO (expert crowdsourcing and nichesourcing) Introduction (2) • Social networks act as a platform for exchanging sources & information among translators and lexicographers+ professional networks: ProZ, tremédica (Karsch 2015, Ramírez Polo 2014, Varga 2017) • Technical phraseology is nurtured by COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE (Lévy 1994)> obtained when different people collaborate. • Phraseology References: Bibliography of Phraseology Cowie, Howarth, Cermák, Dobrovol'skij, Fontenelle, Moon, Omazic, Piirainen, Sabban, Corpas Pastor. • Gledhill (2011)The ‘lexicogrammar’ approach to analysing phraseology and collocation in ESP texts.

  • Mary Rose: the First Ship of Our Standing Navy Transcript
    Mary Rose: The first Ship of our Standing Navy Transcript Date: Wednesday, 25 February 2009 - 12:00AM MARY ROSE: THE FIRST SHIP OF OUR STANDING NAVY Rear Admiral John Lippiett It is on April 21st this year that we will be celebrating Henry VIII coming to the throne, at seventeen years old, and he changed our country radically. The first thing he did was to order to be built the Mary Rose and another ship called the Peter Pomegranate. To anticipate the question about this other ship, Peter was St Peter, Pomegranate was Catherine of Aragon's family crest, and so 'Mary Rose' is probably the Virgin Mary, although custom has it that it was his favourite sister Mary, and the rose the Tudor Rose. The Mary Rose was a revolutionary as a ship. When it was built, in 1509, with its maiden voyage in 1511, it was as scientifically advanced as the space shuttle was in the 1980's. It has a new form of construction for warships in this country. For the first time, we have got a ship that is smooth-sided, that is carvel-built with planks abutting each other to give a smooth side, as opposed to clinker-built, which is where the planks overlap. Carvel ships were built from the keep up and the planks were just laid on top of each other. For the first time, this was building a ship with frames and then putting the planks around it. It was 150 feet long and it was a mighty warship with castles at the stern and bow, the aftercastle and the forecastle (you will probably know that forecastle is now abbreviated to 'focsle' of a ship).

The America’s Cup, one of the most famous competitions between countries, was held here in Newport 12 times from 1930 to 1983, and for nine of those times, from 1958 to 1983, the sailboat used to determine the winners was the 12 Metre, a single-masted sloop of approximately 68 feet (21 metres) in length. Scenes from the docks after Australia II won the 1983 America’s Cup (Photos by Gilles Martin-Raget) Click photo to download During the 12 Metre Cup years, thousands of sailors, support teams, families and spectators from around the world swarmed lower Thames Street and wharves such as Bannister’s where the 12 Metres and their teams headquartered during races that determined a final defender and challenger destined to spar one- on-one for the coveted silver ewer that was “The Cup”. The most memorable Cup in Newport was unfortunately its last; 1983 marked the first winning challenge to the New York Yacht Club, which had 12 METRE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2019 successfully defended the Cup over a period of 132 years. An Australian syndicate representing the Royal Perth Yacht Club wrested the precious trophy from its decades-old resting place, breaking a winning streak that was the longest on record in any sport.
