Hur skapas en rebelltjej på svenska?

What’s a Rebel Girl in Swedish? On the Translation of Elena Favilli and Francesca Cavallo’s Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls Abstract: This article investigates the translation of Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Tales of Extraordinary Women, a children’s book written and published by Elena Favilli and Francesca Cavallo in 2016. Within the framework of Gideon Toury’s Descriptive Translation Studies and Katharina Reiss’ text typology, the study focuses on the Swedish translation Godnattsagor för rebelltjejer: 100 berättelser om fantastiska kvinnor from 2017, including comparisons with the Danish, French, and Norwegian translations, with a view to discover the differences between the text versions. Analysis shows that the Swedish translation is less source-text dependent than the other translations, downplaying the fairytalization of the stories and tending to strengthen the informative component of the text. Poetic language and metaphors are less apparent in the Swedish translation, while hedging, explicitation as well as specification of time, place and chronology contribute to making the text more factual. A further finding is that more adult language is used in the Swedish translation. The article ends by summarizing the main findings and discussing a few explanations for the adaptation of the Swedish translation with regard to its target language context.

Pragmalinguistic Features of Informative Documentary Texts in Military Discourse (Based on Documents of the Great Patriotic War)

This article describes genre-forming features of informative documentary texts of military discourse, such as communicative goal, author’s image, addressee’s image, event content, factor of the future, and factor of the past. The following terms are studied here: documentary text, speech genre, and informative speech genres. The documentary text is considered as a kind of а speech genre, realized in writing. In the course of the research, the most frequent informative documents of military discourse (Great Patriotic War period) were selected, i.e. summary, dispatch, and report. Having analysed the definitions of the abovementioned speech genres and the corresponding documentary texts, the author was able to determine their communicative goals, single out the main (inform) and additional (ask, suggest) genre-forming intentions. It was revealed that the speech addressee in informative speech genres can be both an executive officer and a group of persons, information about them (detailed or not) being presented in the initial and final formulas of the document. The author’s image in the main texts of documents is either implicit or manifested with the help of performative verbs. The speech addressee is abstract and is only indicated in the initial formula of the document, in most cases by the person’s position. Informative documents should meet the following requirements: impersonal and multi-event nature, presentation of the informative component by events of the past and the present, creation of a futural perspective in texts with incentive intentions. The analysis of the factor of the past showed that the summary and the analytical report are initiative genres of written communication, while the dispatch and the operations report are reactive speech genres. Having studied the factor of the future parameter, the author concluded that informative speech genres underlie other informative and directive genres. For instance, dispatches and reports are created on the basis of summaries, whose main intention is to inform. The texts of dispatches and reports, having additional intentions of asking and suggesting, form the basis for directive documentary texts.

H-BIM objects for modern stone facing. Genesis and informative contents for the shell of the station of Messina

The revolution of the BIM methodology lies in the informative component attributable to digital entities, more challenging to define for the historical buildings due to the need to resort to documentary sources and diagnostic investigations instead of datasheets or virtual «pre-packaged» objects. In line with a research about the shell stone facing of the Station of Messina, a stylistic feature recurring in the public buildings of the 1930s-1940s, this study aims to conceive specific «H-BIM objects» so that they can represent new channels for collection and processing of data, in support of adequate Building Dossier and Maintenance Plan for cultural heritage.

COLORIST SPACE OF THE STORY “THE BLACK SEA” BY K. PAUSTOVSKY

e article is devoted to the reconstruction of the fragment of K. Paustovsky’s coloristic picture of the world on the basis of the story “The Black Sea”. The color range used by the writer to create a color continuum is revealed. The color spectrum is presented as a field structure with 4 zones, the zoning is based on quantitative and qualitative characteristic and demonstrates the uniqueness of the writer's idiostyle: starting from the area around field core, the informative component of color term gives way to the figurative one; the connection of color and light is indissoluble; the color terms functionality, which is primarily oriented towards the visualization of space, time and a person in them, reveals the dialectical interrelation of color, light, space and time. The color spectrum dominants (black, white, red). They reflect the individual author's color preferences: the dominance of black; the constant opposition black – white, indicating the writer's romantic worldview; and the standard of Russian color language perception. Based on spatial and color nominations combination, the coloristic space of the story is reconstructed. It is represented with spaces: archaeological, “world of things”, military, air navigation, city and house spaces, sea navigation, necropolis space, natural, creative, man spaces. The dominants are the space of nature, man, sea navigation. The specificity of time coloristic visualization, which in many cases becomes possible due to the spatial and temporal coordinates intersection, is identified. Thus, the dialectical interrelation of color, space and time in the story – its color chronotope – is manifested.

Modeling the Propagation of Elastic Ultrasonic Waves in Isotropic and Anisotropic Materials when Excited by Various Sources

This work is devoted to the investigation of the characteristics of acoustic emission waves to establish their relations with the parameters of the fracture of the structure of the material. The paper presents the results of the analysis of acoustic emission signals recorded during the propagation of ultrasonic waves in metal sheet materials using piezoelectric sensors. The specimen was a rectangular aluminum plate. The piezoelectric sensor recorded acoustic emission signals generated by the Hsu-Nielsen source. The piezoelectric sensor is located in the center of the aluminum plate. Then sources are generated with different hardness to model various kinds of cracks at each specific location. To determine the informative component of a useful acoustic emission signal, the Morlet wavelet transformation was used. When excited by a fracture pencils of different hardness, the magnitude of the wavelet differ in the energy and intensity of the spectrogram.

Воспоминания российских офицеров как источник по истории русско-турецкой войны 1828–1829 гг. (на примере А.И. Михайловского-Данилевского и Ф.Ф. Торнау)

“Memories of Russian officers as a source on the history of Russian-Turkish war of 1828–1829. (On an example of A.I. Mikhailovsky-Danilevsky and F.F. Tornau)”. In the article is made a comparative analysis of the memoirs of officers of various links of the Russian army on the Russian-Turkish war of 1828-1829. A.I. Mikhailovsky-Danilevsky had little personal experience of participation in the immediate life of troops in a campaign in 1829. Therefore his generalizing opinion, as a manager, paradoxically combined with the low informativeness. F.F. Tornau has passed campaign in 1829 at the lowest officer posts of the General Staff. Therefore, his memories more deeply and versatile. Informative component of sources is divided us into four blocks. A significant place in the memoirs is given to life of the rearward and the army. However, it is mainly the life of the officers. Soldier's everyday life in these memoirs practically not displayed.

Statistical basis of socio-geographical study of Ukrainian diaspora

The processing of census results is an important part of social and geographical researches of Ukrainian diaspora. The aim of this article is analysis of main ethnic and cultural criteria which have been used in the census. The peculiarities of their usage in 27 countries, where is numerous Ukrainian diaspora, were described. Main criteria for identifying of Ukrainians were defined and characterized for the purposes of sociogeographical researches of Ukrainian diaspora. Among them are ethnic and linguistic criteria. Three groups of countries on the specifics of usage of ethnic criteria and four groups of countries on the specifics of usage of language were distinguished. The typology of countries in relation to informative component of Ukrainian population was accomplished based on studying the programs of census. According to this criterion, three groups of countries were identified: countries where the results of Ukrainian population census can be set accurately; countries where the results of Ukrainian population census can be set approximately; countries where the results of Ukrainian population census can’t be determined. Key words: census, ethno-cultural criteria, ethno-linguistic criteria, mother tongue, home language, ethnicity.
