A comparative analysis of the use of ‘thereof’ in an English non-translated text and the English machine- and human-translated versions of the Hungarian criminal code
(2022) Kovács Tímea; Anglisztika Tanszék; Angol Nyelvészeti Tanszék; KRE – Bölcsészet- és Társadalomtudományi Kar
Owing to the recent rise of neural language translation, a paradigm shift has been witnessed regarding the role of translators and reviewers. As neural machine translation is increasingly more capable of modelling how natural languages work, the traditional tasks of translators are being gradually replaced by new challenges. More emphasis is placed on pre- and post-editing (revision) skills and competences, presumably enabling the production of higher quality and near human-made translations. In my paper, I attempt to demonstrate through the qualitative and quantitative comparison of machine-translated legal texts (acts) to human-translated ones the relevant challenges and dynamic contrasts arising in the process of translating. Through the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the original Hungarian (source language) Criminal Code and its English (target language) machine and human translations, I aim to highlight the peculiar challenges emerging in the process of translation. I also aim to demonstrate what patterns can be observed in translations produced by human and non-human translators.

Cross-border collaboration in teaching dictionary skills
(Institut za hrvatski jezik i jezikoslovlje , 2024) Margalitadze Tinatin; M. Pintérné Márkus Katalin; Angol Nyelvészeti Tanszék; Anglisztika Intézet; KRE - Bölcsészet- és Társadalomtudományi Kar
The paper presents a project devised by Georgian and Hungarian lexicographers which aims at improving dictionary use skills and dictionary culture in Georgia and Hungary. The project is based on previous experience, studies and findings of its authors at Ilia State University (Georgia) and Károli Gáspár University of the Reformed Church in Hungary. The feedback gathered from theoretical lexicography courses and the needs of the students emerging from these courses revealed the necessity to concentrate more on practical issues of teaching dictionary skills. The cross-border cooperation project will be divided into two stages. At the initial stage, the shortcomings in dictionary skills among students, as well as the special needs of students and teachers will be identified with the help of a questionnaire, supplemented by interviews and tests to refine the data. The results of the survey will be used in the next stage for the development of teaching materials, which will include a workbook (in print and e-book format), a teacher’s book (in print and e-book format), as well as a variety of online tools and exercises for language learners which will help them explore reference skills from many different angles and in different situations.

Developing Dictionary Skills through Monolingual and Bilingual English Dictionaries at Tertiary-level Education in Hungary
(2023) P. Márkus Katalin; Dringó-Horváth Ida; Oktatásinformatikai Továbbképző Központ; Anglisztika Intézet; Angol Nyelvészeti Tanszék; KRE – Bölcsészet- és Társadalomtudományi Kar
Among reference works, dictionaries are particularly important in foreign language learning. Dictionaries provide language learners with a wide range of data, however, wading through the mass of data and information can be a daunting task. Mastering dictionary skills should be important in the language learning process; however, in official educational documents in Hungary, there are no clear guidelines on how to develop these skills. By integrating dictionary skills into the curriculum and teaching them explicitly in lessons, teachers could play an important role in bridging the gap between lexicographers and dictionary users. In the present study, we report on our methods of teaching lexicography and dictionary skills to students at a Hungarian university. The authors are speaking from experience, the discussion and accompanying material are based on more than 15 years of teaching practice. To ensure that the training can meet the expanding needs of young students, a longitudinal study was launched in 2020 to examine students' changing habits and needs. The aims of the article are threefold: first, to encourage the teaching of lexicography at university level by providing concrete methods, then to highlight the importance of dictionary skills, and finally, to emphasise the importance of integrating the effective teaching of the use of electronic dictionaries into dictionary didactics. In this context, the article underlines the need to incorporate new evaluation criteria as well as to develop new skills for digital dictionaries, different from those for print dictionaries, into education.

Dictionary Skills in Teaching English and German as a Foreign Language in Hungary: A Questionnaire Study
(2023) P. Márkus Katalin; Fajt Balázs; Dringó-Horváth Ida; Oktatásinformatikai Továbbképző Központ; Anglisztika Intézet; Angol Nyelvészeti Tanszék; KRE – Bölcsészet- és Társadalomtudományi Kar
This study investigates the dictionary use of graduates in English and German as well as their attitudes towards teaching and learning dictionary skills in the classroom. The first section of the paper offers a historical overview of research on dictionary use and dictionary didactics in Hungary. This is followed by the detailed description of the quantitative research, which aims to investigate the participants’ (n=197) self-reported preferences and attitudes regarding dictionary use, their dictionary consultation behaviour, and the role of dictionaries as an aid to language learning and teaching. The research results partly confirm the trends revealed in previous international studies (e.g. increased use of online tools, reluctance to pay for dictionaries, low prestige of teaching dictionary use); they also show that there is a need for dictionary use skills to be taught from an early age and for placing a special emphasis on features and search strategies in the case of digital dictionaries. Based on these findings, the authors plan to design a core ‘dictionary skills’ module (with teaching aids and handbooks), which could be incorporated into a variety of courses in tertiary education.

Male-female relationships across cultures in Ann Y. K. Choi’s Kay’s Lucky Coin Variety (2016)
(Károli Gáspár Református Egyetem, 2020) Nagy Judit; Anglisztika Intézet; Angol Nyelvészeti Tanszék; KRE - Bölcsészet- és Társadalomtudományi Kar
Y. K. Choi’s recent novel, Kay’s Lucky Coin Variety (2016) contains ample references to the differences between Western and Eastern ways of courtship, romance and marriage. Applying Kim Min-Sun’s cultural communication theory to the analysis as described in her book entitled Non-Western Perspectives on Human Communication (2002), the paper will explore how the diasporic Korean-Canadian female protagonist, Yu-Rhee/ Mary’s ideas and experience of male-female relationships are affected by her Korean cultural heritage and the Canadian environment in which she grows up.

A jogi szaknyelv és a szaknyelvi fordítás – sajátos jellegénél fogva – a fordítástudományon és szaknyelveken belül is külön ágat képvisel. Több szerző foglalkozik a jogi szaknyelv jellemzőivel, valamint a nyelveken, kultúrákon és jogi intézményi rendszereken átívelő interlingvális jogi fordítás legfontosabb problémáival. Ugyanakkor a gépi fordítás az elmúlt pár évben megfigyelhető robbanásszerű fejlődése és az annak nyomán kialakult új és egyre nagyobb jelentőséggel bíró utószerkesztés (poszteditálás) újabb kihívások elé állítja a fordítástudományt és a gyakorló fordítókat. Ha egyre több szöveg és azok fordítása válik elektronikus formában szinte mindenki számára könnyen elérhetővé, az milyen új feladatok és elvárások elé állítja a fordítókat és utószerkesztőket (poszteditorokat)? Hogyan alakul át a fordítói minőségi sztenderd fogalma? Hogyan definiálhatjuk az ideális (jogi) szaknyelvi fordítást, mely mind a gépi, mind a humán fordítás minőségi szintje lehet?

Self-assessment of academic writing in an online learning environment
(2022) Adorján Mária; Anglisztika Intézet; Angol Nyelvészeti Tanszék; KRE - Bölcsészet- és Társadalomtudományi Kar
Successful academic writing courses include self-assessment opportunities for foreign language learners. Encouraging students to actively engage with their own texts is even more relevant when courses are offered in a hybrid or entirely online learning environment. During distance education, when measuring learning is becoming problematic, students reflecting on and experimenting with their work can inform the teacher, but more importantly, can promote a deeper understanding of the writing process and the written product. An effective revision and self-editing of a draft requires top-down and bottom-up approaches to the text. This study discusses how students can assess their own writing on three levels: lexically, syntactically, and at the discourse level by incorporating corpus linguistic tools in their self-assessment process. This includes vocabulary profiling, evaluating cohesion and analysing variation in register and genres. The exercises are beneficial in undergraduate language courses and also in teacher and translator training.

Teaching Cultural Differences through Korean Canadians: Teaching Material Development for English as a Foreign Language Classes
(2019) Nagy Judit; Bánhegyi Mátyás; Anglisztika Intézet; Angol Nyelvészeti Tanszék; KRE - Bölcsészet- és Társadalomtudományi Kar
Students of English as a foreign language must possess intercultural communicative skills in order to be able to interpret and discuss the cultural diversity that surrounds them when they use English for communicational purposes. This paper claims, and is based on the conviction, that the development of these skills takes place primarily through teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) in most educational contexts. This approach is facilitated by the fact that the English language functions as the most widely used foreign language in the context of culture teaching.

“The Heave of the Swell” – Metaphors of the Sea in Short Stories from Atlantic Canada (1900-1930)
(2021) Nagy Judit; Anglisztika Intézet; Angol Nyelvészeti Tanszék; KRE - Bölcsészet- és Társadalomtudományi Kar
“The Heave of the Swell” – Metaphors of the Sea in Short Stories from Atlantic Canada (1900-1930). The paper examines the use of sea metaphors in Atlantic Canadian short stories written between 1900 and 1930. Lakoff and Kövecses’s cognitive concept of the metaphor will provide the theoretical framework for the identification and classification of sea metaphors surfacing in the texts to be analysed. Using the socio-cultural background information provided in the first part of the paper, the more substantial second part will constitute the actual analysis, which will concentrate on the sea metaphor use of the works of prominent Atlantic Canadian short story writers from the golden age of the sea story.

The use of the term ʻcombining form’ in some monolingual English dictionaries
(2019) Pődör Dóra; Anglisztika Intézet; Angol Nyelvészeti Tanszék; KRE – Bölcsészet- és Társadalomtudományi Kar
This paper examines the use of the term ʻcombining form’ in eight English monolingual online dictionaries. The definitions given for this compound as a headword are compared and analysed, and the lexical categorization of the examples cited in the definitions is also checked against their categorization as headwords. Thus the internal consistency of these dictionaries can be scrutinized, and the similarities and the differences in the treatment of certain bound morphemes that linguists normally classify as ʻcombining forms’ can be revealed in these dictionaries and even within the same dictionary family.

Transzkreáció, copywriting, szoftverlokalizáció: fogalmi meghatározások
(Károli Gáspár Református Egyetem, 2018) Kovács Tímea; Anglisztika Intézet; Angol Nyelvészeti Tanszék; KRE – Bölcsészet- és Társadalomtudományi Kar
The aim of this study is to give a definition of ‘Copywriting’, ‘Transcreation’, and ‘Software Localization’ as well as examining what linguistic and nonlinguistic aspects pose the greatest challenges in the process of translation. The author demonstrates through her own examples the relevant challenges arising in the foregoing types of translation by relying on the results of background research conducted with professional translators. The examples demonstrate the peculiar challenges in the process of transcreation at a (socio)pragmatic level, and in software localization at a linguistic structural level. Such challenges are triggered by dynamic contrasts activated in the process. At the end of this study, the author attempts to comprehensively compare the relevant aspects of writing and translation activated in the process of ‘copywriting’, ‘transcreation’, and ‘software localization’.
