A brief overview on gender representation of monster animal characters in children's literature [Articol]
(Editura USM, 2026) Bodean-Vozian, Olesea; Suhari, Inga
This study investigates the representation of gender in monster animal characters in children’s literature from a comparative viewpoint. These non- human characters frequently embody culturally constructed gender norms. It is generally accepted that authors make deliberate and strategic choices in the construction of their characters. Currently, in particular, these choices often reflect a conscious effort to challenge and subvert traditional gender stereotypes. In this research we examine a corpus of English and Romanian children’s works covering various literary periods and genres with the aim of exploring the way gendered traits, roles and behaviours were assigned to non-human characters. Particular attention is given to linguistic indicators, visual characterisation and mechanisms through which gender identity is constructed. Additionally, we analyse the rate of occurrence of male vs female monster animal characters and male vs female pronouns. Particular attention is given to the ways translators trade off linguistic creativity, sound symbolism, naming conventions and cultural references associated with these characters.
Comment favoriser le developpement cognitif en français langue étrangère dans une seance de comprehension et production écrit? [Articol]]
(Editura USM, 2026) Benaouali, Fouzia; Adib, Yasmine
This paper seeks to highlight several key aspects related to reading comprehension and writing tasks in French as a foreign language at the university level. From the learner’s perspective, the aim is to shed light on the language acquisition process; from the perspective of teaching practices, the aim is to analyse existing pedagogical approaches. And to better understand the issue of written production in French as a foreign language, we examine the reasons why it has taken on a significance it has never had before: this is the issue of writing in French as a foreign language. We also explain how data from cognitive psychology shed light on the nature of learning. The goal is to see how a significant portion of the acquisition of general proficiency in French as a foreign language has been attributed to the use of these learning techniques or strategies.
Self - discipline as a determinant of personal and professional success [Articol]
(Editura USM, 2026) Bardier, Adelina
In this article, we will examine the concept of self-discipline, its importance and role in achieving success, as well as its impact on a person’s life, taking into account statistical data obtained from a survey of a certain social group. Let us consider whether self-discipline can really have a determinant effect on a person or whether only its incorrect perception is destructive for mental health. Let us raise the question of how to achieve self-discipline and what psychological blocks may stand in the way of achieving self-control and self-consciousness. In addition, we will consider the influence of sport on a person’s life, as an area that requires great willpower and self-control. Self-discipline is of a great importance in a person’s life and in our days, this topic is becoming increasingly popular in our society and can be seen everywhere on social networks, how people promote a healthy lifestyle, psychologists give advice on how to stop procrastinating, speakers organize motivational meetings, webinars, but some researchers still argue about whether self- discipline has a positive or negative effect on personality development and psychological well-being. So let us figure out what self-discipline is and how it affects a person's life, whether it can really lead to personal and professional success.
Legal terminology translation: humans vs algorithms [Articol]
(Editura USM, 2026) Baghici, Nicoleta
The translation of legal terminology represents one of the most challenging areas of specialized translation, requiring not only linguistic competence but also deep understanding of legal systems, cultural nuances, and the intended legal effect of documents. Within the fast advancement of Neural Machine Translation (NMT) and Large Language Models (LLMs), the question arises: can algorithms replace human legal translators? This article examines the complexities of legal language, compares human and machine translation approaches, identifies the strengths and weaknesses of each, and proposes a hybrid model as the most effective solution for legal translation in the contemporary digital landscape. The article argues that while algorithms excel at speed and consistency, only human translators possess the semantic, pragmatic, and juridical competence necessary to ensure absolute precision in legal documents.
Dinamica limbilor franceză şi română. Noi paradigme traductologice [Articol]
(Editura USM, 2026) Badea, Georgiana I.
The current context of Romance languages, and specifically of the French language, is marked by a creative tension between the preservation of academic norms and the pressure of globalization. This paper explores the evolution of the French language through the lens of functional and critical translation studies, analyzing how the "vulnerability" of the source text and the "identity" of the translation are redefined in the era of algorithms. Current divergences have surpassed the difficulties once posed by translation units—even those labeled as realia or culturemes; the new paradigm now focuses on the integration of Neural Machine Translation (NMT) and AI, the ethics of the translator as a post-editor, and intellectual property. An emerging constraint concerns the production of "easy-to- read" texts at the expense of the responsibility not to "betray" the author's style. The challenge also derives from the ability to integrate classical theoretical heritage into modern translation pedagogy, where post-editing transforms the classroom into a laboratory for critical analysis. Gamification and hybrid learning are becoming methods to teach the nuances of the French language to a digital generation and to train a different kind of translator. Although technology accelerates the communication process, human expertise (both linguistic and translational) remains the only one capable of managing the cultural and emotional subtleties of languages in a translation relationship. We conclude that the future of translation and translation studies lies in redefining the translator as a post-editor and cultural mediator equipped with advanced technological tools, capable of maintaining the vitality of the interlinguistic and intercultural space.
