    A FOREIGN COUNTRY: GROWING UP IN RHODESIA Nigel Suckling Draft: © January 2021 1 I – MUNALI – 5 II – LIVINGSTONE – 43 III – PARALLEL LIVES – 126 IV – LUSAKA – 212 V – GOING HOME – 244 APPENDIX – 268 2 FOREWORD As a child you have no measure of how fast the world around you is changing. Because you’re developing so quickly yourself, you assume your environment is static and will carry on pretty much the same as you grow into it. This is true for everyone everywhere, naturally. Most old people can, if suitably primed, talk indefinitely about the changes they’ve seen in their lifetimes, even if they’ve never moved from the place where they were born; but some environments change more drastically than others, even without a war to spur things along. One such was Northern Rhodesia in southern Africa in the 1950s and 60s. As white kids growing up then we had no way of knowing, as our parents almost certainly did, just how fragile and transient our conditions were – how soon and how thoroughly the country would become Zambia, with a completely different social order and set of faces in command. The country of course is still there. In many ways its urban centres now look remarkably unchanged due to relative poverty. The houses we grew up in, many of the streets, landmark buildings and landscapes we were familiar with are still recognizably the same, much more so in fact than in many parts of Europe. What has vanished is the web of British colonial superstructure into which I and my siblings were born as privileged members, brief gentry on the cusp of a perfectly justified and largely peaceful revolution that was soon to brush us aside.

  • Linguistic and Extralinguistic Challenges in Translation of English Footwear Terminology Into Romanian

The footwear terminology represents a great interest and challenge in translation, as world-famous brands, daily competing with each other, create almost monthly new models of footwear, thus, introducing new terminological designations for shoes and requiring their adequate translation using certain translation techniques. A large layer of English footwear specialized vocabulary is rendered into Romanian by calque, description and transcription in the absence of the proper equivalent in the target language. Subsequently, language replenishment with borrowed lexical units takes place, having a positive effect on the language vocabulary volume. However, the abundance of foreign words creates misunderstandings in the specialized communication of representatives of different target audiences. Moreover, in the modern intercultural specialized communication there appeared a tendency to use brands names adapted for the Romanian market instead of words denoting types of shoes. Key words: terminology of accessories and fashion, polysemy, cross-cultural borrowing, eponymic terms, syntactic transformations, terminological equivalent. CZU 811.111:685.3 Introduction Phenomena and concepts of the modern world spread across all countries and continents at tremendous speed, despite state borders, level of development of state economy, languages and cultures. To make the intercultural communication faster and more comfortable languages of international communication are involved, their implication having a gradual character on the basis of modern means of their distribution.

From Renaissance Chopines to Baroque Heels Bata Shoe Museum, Toronto, Nov 18, 2009–Sep 20, 2010 Reviewed by: Murray Colin A., Toronto The Bata Shoe Museum opened in Toronto in 1995 as the brainchild of Sonja Bata of the Bata Shoe Company. With a collection of 12,000 objects, this unique museum is dedicated exclusively to the history of the shoe and has a history of informative exhibitions on specialized topics, such as the one currently on display, “On A Pedestal: From Renaissance Chopines to Baroque Heels.” Curated by Elizabeth Semmelhack, this exhibition showcases 50 shoes of the sixteenth and seven- teenth centuries, all of which were designed to elevate the stature of the wearer [1]. The chopine, most popular in Spain and Italy in the sixteenth century, is a kind of platform shoe made of wood or cork and covered in leather or textile. The heeled shoe, in which the heel is built up in height independently of the sole (unlike the blocky or columnar soles of the chopine) was worn by men and women and was most popular in Northern Europe in the seventeenth century. Bringing together this many examples of a select type of shoe in one place is no small achievement, as they had to be borrowed from institutions in Italy, Spain, Austria, Sweden, the United States, the UK, and Canada.

But Shakespeare, who was, according to these classifications, both a tragedian and a comedian, used those same words in a different sense.

The faculty modified this custom that was begun in the earliest days of Cornell University in 1938 as follows: Upon the death of a member of the University Faculty, the President or Dean of Faculty shall formally notify the Faculty at the next meeting and those present shall rise in respect for the memory of the deceased member. The Provost shall then appoint a committee to prepare an appropriate memorial statement. Such statements shall not be presented in the form of resolutions, as in the past, but shall be annually collected, edited, and printed by the University in a memorial booklet, which shall be sent to members of the Faculty, to the families of the deceased members, and shall be filed with University records.

  • Semiotics of Fashionspeak
    UDC 81’373.4:746.4 SEMIOTICS OF FASHIONSPEAK Nina Khrystych, PhD in Pedagogics, Assistant Professor of Foreign Philology, Translation and Applied Linguistics Department, SHEI «Pereiaslav-Khmelnytskyi Hryhorii Skovoroda State Pedagogical University», Pereiaslav-Khmelnytskyi, Ukraine, e-mail: [email protected] Received February, 11, 2019; Accepted June, 4, 2019 Abstract The article is devoted to the semiotics of modern fashionspeak. The semiotic sign which creates image is studied in the article. The main idea is that forming and functioning of fashionspeak is based on linguistic theories. The author proves that fashionspeak holds symbolism having the capacity to express one’s unique style, identity, profession, social status, and gender or group affiliation. The author leads the idea that the connection between the text and fashion should be sought in the decoding of linguistic signs that creates differences between a male and a female fashion. The male fashionspeak is represented by using the words of the semantic field “strength” while the semantic field of female fashionspeak is “beauty”. Hence, men’s image is verbalized by the Nouns “strength”, “power”, “confidence”, “reliability” etc. while women’s image is verbalized by “pretty”, “beautiful”, “attractive”, “awesome”, “lovely”, “gorgeous”, “glamorous”, “sexy”, “chic”, etc. The author emphasizes that DRESS CODE concept does not include only “clothes” but also some external attributes of culture such accessories, perfumes, lifestyle, hairstyles, and so on. The axiological meaning in men’s and women’s DRESS CODE can easily increase an individual’s self- significance by portraying the desirable values in accordance with their lifestyle. Therefore, the author believes that semiotics of clothes can be intentionally created.
