  • The Psycholinguistic Background of L1 Polish Students of L3 Spanish
    ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ ARTICLES MARTÍN TESTA 10.15290/CR.2018.22.3.04 University of Warsaw The Psycholinguistic Background of L1 Polish Students of L3 Spanish Abstract. The study was aimed at exploring the psycholinguistic background of Polish students of L3 Spanish. Two groups of students (B1 and B2) were asked to fill out a survey with questions related to proficiency, self-confidence, language identity, usefulness, prestige, stress, sound, and frequency of use. The last part of the survey included some questions about psychotypology, as well. In terms of foreign language anxiety, Spanish was ranked by most of the students as the most stressful language. A follow-up session was carried out with them in order to try to discuss the reasons behind their choices, and their feedback helped to shed some light on the topic and raised further questions about the role and impact of Polish teachers of Spanish in Poland. Keywords: sociolinguistics, stress, foreign language anxiety, L3 Spanish, third language acquisition, multilingual- ism, psychotypology. 1. Introduction The following study was aimed at exploring the psycholinguistic background of Polish students of L3 Spanish from a multilingual point of view. That is why, the study begins with a short sum- mary of the the situation of English both in Europe and, more precisely, in Poland in order to give a general picture of the linguistic situation in which the participants of this study grew up. The next section deals with the impact of positive attitudes on language learning and a short review of Dewaele’s (2010) findings in terms of foreign language anxiety (FLA).

  • The Language of the Incontinent Body in Margaret Laurence's the Stone
    Technologies of Identity: The Language of the Incontinent Body in Margaret Laurence’s The Stone Angel DONNA PALMATEER PENNEE N AN ESSAY ENTITLED “Identity, Genealogy, History” Nikolas Rose explains the Foucauldian sense of “technology” that is signalled I in this paper: Technology, here, refers to any assembly structured by a practical rationality governed by a more or less conscious goal. Human tech- nologies are hybrid assemblages of knowledges, instruments, persons, systems of judgement, buildings and spaces, underpinned at the pro- grammatic level by certain presuppositions about, and objectives for, human beings.… Perhaps the insistence upon an analytic of human technologies is one of the most distinctive features of the approach, … an analysis which does not start from the view that the technologizing of human conduct is malign, but rather examines the ways in which human beings have been simultaneously capacitated and governed by their organization within a technological field. (132; emphasis added) Rose’s terms help to clarify something of what is meant by the “produc- tivity” of “power,” and, while “not start[ing] from the view that the technologizing of human conduct is malign” can permit a more complex view of the historical field than is usually available through cause-effect lenses, I want nevertheless to address the malignancy of technologies of the self. This hurtfulness of history is represented in the literal and figu- rative workings of the incontinent body in Margaret Laurence’s The Stone Angel, a novel that displays the armature of a self simultaneously capaci- tated and governed by the force fields of negative difference.

Hence, the nation's linguistic diversity is very rich: there are eleven official languages – being Zulu, Xhosa and Afrikaans the most spoken ones – and many non-official languages spoken in the whole country. Since the establishment of the English language during the settlement of British colonies in the region, South African English has been influenced by many languages which have had an impact on aspects such as vocabulary, pronunciation or grammar. The aim of this paper resides on creating a data of indigenous and Afrikaans borrowings in South African English to classify them into different categories and analyze them. In order to do this, the borrowings have been collected from three novels of two South African writers – Life and Times of Michael K (1983) by J.M.

Indi- vidual interest and enthusiasm as well as the foundation of CEACS contributed to the Canadian Studies “boom” in 2000-2012, when Canadian Studies Centers were founded in several important Romanian universities, the number of Canadian Studies classes at BA and MA levels increased, large research projects were completed, PhD theses were initi- ated and quite a few defended. Key words: Romanian-Canadian relations; Canadian Studies in Romania; CEACS; re- search projects; teaching; academic events 1. The broad picture The last two decades of the 19th century witnessed the beginnings of the Romanian migration towards Canada, but the Canadian state was brought to the attention of the average Romanian as a well-defined political and cultural entity only starting with the significant year 1967, when a touring Canadian exhibition revealed to us the history and the main attractions of a country celebrating the centennial in its present form. From 1990 onwards, in
