  • A Confectionery Map of Regional Specialties
    The Great North American Road Trip THE 2021 PETER’S® CHOCOLATE CALENDAR A Confectionery Map of Regional Specialties One of the great pleasures of domestic travel in North America is to see, hear and taste the regional differences that characterize us. The places where we live help shape the way we think, the way we talk and even the way we eat. So, while chocolate has always been one of the world’s great passions, the ways in which we indulge that passion vary widely from region to region. In this, our 2021 Peter’s Chocolate Calendar, we’re celebrating the great love affair between North Americans and chocolate in all its different shapes, sizes, and flavors. We hope you’ll join us on this journey and feel inspired to recreate some of the specialties we’ve collected along the way. Whether it’s catfish or country-fried steak, boiled crawfish or peach cobbler, Alabama cuisine is simply divine. Classic southern recipes are as highly prized as family heirlooms and passed down through the generations in the Cotton State. This is doubtless how the confection known as Southern Divinity built its longstanding legacy in this region. The balanced combination of salty and sweet is both heavenly and distinctly Southern.

Because of this close relation between the two concepts; translation studies have recently put emphasis on the study of translation and culture. The aim of this study is to descriptively analyse translation of material culture elements in Buket Uzuner’s novel Uzun Beyaz Bulut-Gelibolu translated into English as The Long White Cloud-Gallipoli by Pelin Thornhill Arıner within the framework of domestication and foreignization strategies. The study focuses on determining how translation procedures by Peter Newmark that are used in translation of cultural elements affect the governing translation strategy, namely domestication and foreignization in translation of the selected novel.The procedures are divided into two strategies as domesticating and foreignizing strategies. Naturalization, Cultural equivalent, Functional Equivalent, Descriptive Equivalent, Synonymy, Modulation, Translation Label, Compensation, Componential Analysis, Reduction and Expansion and Paraphrase are analysed under domestication strategy while Literal Translation, Transference, Through Translation and Paraphrase, Notes, Additions are analysed under foreignization strategy. The results indicate that out of 75 material culture elements, domestication was used 39 times while foreignization was used 36 times and there is no prevailing translation strategy in the translation Keywords: translation, culture, Newmark, procedures, domestication, foreignization 1.

    Palaver Palaver 3 n.s. (2014), n. 2, 175-196 e-ISSN 2280-4250 DOI 10.1285/i22804250v3i2p175 http://siba-ese.unisalento.it, © 2014 Università del Salento Lindita Xhanari (Latifi), Kledi Satka (Shegani) University of Tirana "Balkan Turkisms" and their lexical and grammatical features Abstract Turkish language has been one of the most important sources of enrichment of the vocabulary of the Balkans’ languages, during 5 centuries of Ottoman congestion. All Balkan languages have given and taken from each other. The impacts on these languages have been merely of local character and were limited to border dialects. In contrast to these effects, Turkish borrowings are spread so uniformly in the Balkan languages, that a significant number of them can be defined as"Balkan Turkisms". In this work, we aim to bring to readers attention a clear overview focusing on: Common fund of Balkan Turkisms and its lexical and grammatical characteristic. Examples of the use of Turkish words in texts of different Balkan languages (Albanian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Croatian, Macedonian, Bosnian, Greek, Romanian) can be traced to the early fifteenth century. The process of borrowing from Turkish culminated in the nineteenth century. For the Balkans, Turkish was the language of communication within the Ottoman Empire. Most of Turkish lexeme has not only been adapted to Balkan languages, but has also become a natural component of the general and regional language. The borrowed words were not only accepted by the spoken languages of the Balkans, but they 175 Lindita Xhanari (Latifi), Kledi Satka (Shegani) also joined the literature, the language of religious teaching, that of administrative documents and other written texts.

  • Festiwal Chlebów Świata, 21-23. Marca 2014 Roku
    FESTIWAL CHLEBÓW ŚWIATA, 21-23. MARCA 2014 ROKU Stowarzyszenie Polskich Mediów, Warszawska Izba Turystyki wraz z Zespołem Szkół nr 11 im. Władysława Grabskiego w Warszawie realizuje projekt FESTIWAL CHLEBÓW ŚWIATA 21 - 23 marca 2014 r. Celem tej inicjatywy jest promocja chleba, pokazania jego powszechności, ale i równocześnie różnorodności. Zaplanowaliśmy, że będzie się ona składała się z dwóch segmentów: pierwszy to prezentacja wypieków pieczywa według receptur kultywowanych w różnych częściach świata, drugi to ekspozycja producentów pieczywa oraz związanych z piekarnictwem produktów. Do udziału w żywej prezentacji chlebów świata zaprosiliśmy: Casa Artusi (Dom Ojca Kuchni Włoskiej) z prezentacją piady, producenci pity, macy oraz opłatka wigilijnego, Muzeum Żywego Piernika w Toruniu, Muzeum Rolnictwa w Ciechanowcu z wypiekiem chleba na zakwasie, przedstawiciele ambasad ze wszystkich kontynentów z pokazem własnej tradycji wypieku chleba. Dodatkowym atutem będzie prezentacja chleba astronautów wraz osobistym świadectwem Polskiego Kosmonauty Mirosława Hermaszewskiego. Nie zabraknie też pokazu rodzajów ziarna oraz mąki. Realizacją projektu będzie bezprecedensowa ekspozycja chlebów świata, pozwalająca poznać nie tylko dzieje chleba, ale też wszelkie jego odmiany występujące w różnych regionach świata. Taka prezentacja to podkreślenie uniwersalnego charakteru chleba jako pożywienia, który w znanej czy nieznanej nam dotychczas innej formie można znaleźć w każdym zakątku kuli ziemskiej zamieszkałym przez ludzi. Odkąd istnieje pismo, wzmiankowano na temat chleba, toteż, dodatkowo, jego kultowa i kulturowo – symboliczna wartość jest nie do przecenienia. Inauguracja FESTIWALU CHLEBÓW ŚWIATA planowana jest w piątek, w dniu 21 marca 2014 roku, pierwszym dniu wiosny a potrwa ona do niedzieli tj. do 23.03. 2014 r.. Uczniowie wówczas szukają pomysłów na nieodbywanie typowych zajęć lekcyjnych. My proponujemy bardzo celowe „vagari”- zapraszając uczniów wszystkich typów i poziomów szkoły z opiekunami do spotkania się na Festiwalu.
