The role of gaming in vocabulary acquisition
Mislav Malević
Video igre podržavaju svaki dio učinkovitog učenja pružajući: jak i zanimljiv narativ (kontekst), namjerne interakcije (autentičnost), emocionalni angažman (motivacija), sloboda neuspjeha (greške) i mogućnosti samostalnog odlučivanja (autonomija učenika). Učenje poboljšano igrom pruža skup učinkovitih strategija, kao što su jezična ponavljanja i kontekstualni tragovi, za vježbanje i korištenje vokabulara u autentičnom kontekstu. Neke od strategija kao što...

The role of personal pronouns in forming community and individuality in J. R. R. Tolkien's "The Fellowship of the Ring"

This thesis takes a pragmatic approach towards analyzing how personal pronouns are used in order to form a sense of community or express individuality in J. R. R. Tolkien’s The...

The translation and audience reception of proper names in the official and amateur subtitles of The Witcher
The translation and audience reception of proper names in the official and amateur subtitles of The Witcher
Tea Božičević
Audiovisual translation has been studied in academic circles since the 1950s, but it was considered an inferior translation activity (Díaz Cintas, 2004). Today, it is a well-developed and an established type of translation that some engage with as a hobby. This has led to the development of fansubs: subtitles created by fans who are usually not formally educated in the field of translation. This practice was a response to unsatisfying subtitles for Japanese anime in the 1980s, but it has...
The translation of law enforcement and drug dealers' slang in "The Wire"
The translation of law enforcement and drug dealers' slang in "The Wire"
Luka Boričević
When translating slang, the subtitler must decide whether to preserve or standardize the expression. The decision is based on the time and space constraints, but also affected by paratextual considerations such as the type of client (public/private TV), their norms and instructions. This study was conducted to inspect their influence on slang preservation vs. standardization through a comparative analysis of the Croatian subtitles of The Wire S01E01 which aired on both a public (HRT) and a...

Things Left Unsaid: Linguistic Analysis of Silences found in Three Novels by Thomas Hardy
Things Left Unsaid: Linguistic Analysis of Silences found in Three Novels by Thomas Hardy
Lucija Jalžabetić
Silence plays an integral role in our lives. It is present in everyday conversations, as both the starting and the ending point of each of our utterances. Although they seem markedly different, speech and silence operate together in delivering the speaker’s message and may convey as powerful a message as they may also present a lack thereof. Because silence is oftentimes considered to be ‘other’ than speech, it has scarcely been the focus of linguistic research. However, when studied,...
Thomas Hardy’s Architecture: Fragments of a Lost Aesthetic
Thomas Hardy’s Architecture: Fragments of a Lost Aesthetic
Mihael Cvetnić
The paper examines the ways in which Thomas Hardy’s abandoned career as a draughtsman and assistant architect (1856-1873) carries over into his literary work. Taking as its case study Hardy’s late works, the poetry and the novels written in 1880s and 1890s, it focuses on the role descriptions of spaces play in his writing. The aesthetic tension between architectural restoration and preservation in the 19th century, as exemplified by theoretical writings of Viollet-le-Duc and John Ruskin,...
