LIMBAJE SPECIALIZATE. DIDACTICA AFORISTICĂ
(CEP USM, 2023) Mincu, Eugenia; Macovei, Dorina
Latin is the “language of communication” par excellence, of understanding the reality, of cultivating universal-existential values. The frequent use of the Latin corpus (in various fields of activity), its popularization, etc. demonstrates the vitality of the Latin language, which is considered a model of scientific, personal, and professional training. Latin aphorisms and phrases are a form of human didactics. The article concerns Latin idiomatics correlated to teaching specialized languages. At the level of professional training, we distinguish fixed aphorisms and phrases (legal, medical terminology, etc.) and interdisciplinary Latin aphorisms and phrases. At the level of personal training, these formulas cultivate good qualities: for example, the feelings of: respect –Pulchra res homo est si homo est/A human being is a beautiful ifhe is human, etc.; tolerance – De gustibus et coloribus non disputandum/Tastes and colours are not discussed; temperance: Si tacuisses,philosŏphus mansisses/Had you kept silent, you would have remaineda philosopher, etc. At the same time, we refer to the translinguistic status of the aphoristic corpus and the interlinguistic differences (Romanian, French, English, Russian, etc.) as a result of this multilingualand intercultural status.
