Press Release
\nBucharest, Tuesday 18 September 2012<\/p>\n

Online Publication<\/p>\n

Contemporary Literature Press,
\nunder The University of Bucharest, in conjunction with The British Council, and The Romanian Cultural Institute,<\/p>\n

Announces the publication of<\/p>\n

Pragmatics,
\nby Daniela Sorea.<\/p>\n

(ISBN: 978-606-8366-33-3)<\/p>\n

In order to become familiar with a foreign language in the more advanced stages of appropriating it, we need to learn a set of complex rules: how to combine words in order to be polite or impolite, distant or more intimate, formal or familiar, and so on. In short, we must know how to make ourselves understood in a very subtle manner to people living in the place where the given language is being spoken. This is what Daniela Sorea’s book of Pragmatics focuses on: how to fit words into a particular context, how to translate what we mean to say into sentences that will make sense in a variety of ways to speakers of English. Pragmatics is not a branch of linguistics, for it is first and foremost a branch of semiotics. As a subsidiary of that, language implies so much more than just words…<\/p>\n

C.G. Sandulescu’s Introduction to this book of Pragmatics published by Contemporary Literature Press tells the readers that Roman Jakobson’s Scheme of Communication (Sender-Message-Receiver + CODE + CHANNEL) simplified life more than considerably for the average teacher of English as a second language. But Sandulescu also adds that there is a risk attached to the idea of communication as a scheme: it consists in one’s becoming excessively restrictive, and even rigid in one’s restrictiveness. With N. Chomsky, for instance, History, Etymology, Literature, Psychology, Sociology and all the rest are not taken into account. Langue gets so free from civilisation that it becomes more than easily FORMALISED as an aim in itself.<\/p>\n

Dr. Daniela Sorea is a member of the English Language and Literature Department of the University of Bucharest, as a Reader. She follows in the footsteps of Paul Grice. With his essay ‘Logic and Conversation’, Grice changed thinking on language in the early 1970’s once and for all. Sorea’s book ultimately examines the indestructible connection that exists between language studies, on the one hand, and literature studies, on the other hand. She illustrates her theory with varied contemporary texts: from books to popular magazines, from films to Television series. Her approach is linguistic, and also broadly „cultural”. She considers both statement and understatement. As she herself puts it, she investigates „how humans adapt to language and how language adapts to humans”. And, moreover, she always has in view the teachers of English as a second language. Lidia Vianu<\/p>\n

Pragmatics, by Daniela Sorea is formally launched on Tuesday 18 September 2012. But it is available for consultation and downloading on receipt of this Press Release, at the following internet address:<\/p>\n

Pragmatics,
\nde Daniela Sorea.<\/p>\n

(ISBN: 978-606-8366-33-3)<\/p>\n

\u00cen studiul avansat al unei limbi str\u0103ine, ne g\u0103sim \u00een fa\u021ba unor reguli care dep\u0103\u0219esc simpla cunoa\u0219tere a fiec\u0103rui cuv\u00e2nt \u00een parte, reguli pe care trebuie s\u0103 le respect\u0103m. Trebuie s\u0103 \u00eenv\u0103\u021b\u0103m cum s\u0103 ne folosim cuvintele pentru a exprima c\u00e2t mai bine o atitudine: este important s\u0103 reias\u0103 clar din ceea ce spunem dac\u0103 suntem politico\u0219i ori nu, dac\u0103 vorbim pe un ton familiar ori unul oficial, dac\u0103 ne implic\u0103m afectiv ori ne p\u0103str\u0103m distan\u021ba prin cuvintele noastre. \u00cencerc\u0103m, a\u0219adar, s\u0103 ne facem \u00een\u021bele\u0219i de c\u0103tre vorbitorii limbii pe care o folosim \u2014 lucru care presupune mai mult dec\u00e2t cuno\u0219tin\u021be de vocabular, intr\u00e2nd de fapt \u00een aria subtil\u0103 a unui cod cultural.<\/p>\n

Volumul de Pragmatic\u0103 al Danielei Sorea se ocup\u0103 tocmai de func\u021biile contextului. Fiind o ramur\u0103 a Semioticii, Pragmatica implic\u0103 mult mai mult dec\u00e2t cuvinte izolate, tot a\u0219a cum limba \u00eenseamn\u0103 mult mai mult dec\u00e2t ceea ce numim Lingvistic\u0103.<\/p>\n

\u00cen Introducerea la acest volum despre Pragmatic\u0103 publicat acum de Contemporary Literature Press, Profesorul C. George Sandulescu aminte\u0219te de Roman Jakobson \u0219i Procesul Comunic\u0103rii, cu ceea ce implic\u0103 acesta: Sursa Informa\u021biei, Mesaj, Receptor, Cod, Canal de Comunicare. Aceast\u0103 reprezentare schematic\u0103 a u\u0219urat mult sarcina pred\u0103rii limbii engleze. Dar tot Sandulescu atrage aten\u021bia lingvi\u0219tilor asupra riscului major de a reduce \u0219i simplifica lucrurile p\u00e2n\u0103 la pierderea ideii de \u00eentreg. N. Chomsky, de pild\u0103, d\u0103 la o parte istoria, etimologia, literatura, psihologia, sociologia. Pentru adep\u021bii lui, langue este un concept separat de civilisation, o formalizare care se dep\u0103rteaz\u0103 mult de con\u021binut.<\/p>\n

Daniela Sorea este Conferen\u021biar la Catedra de Limba \u0219i Literatura Englez\u0103 a Facult\u0103\u021bii de Limbi Str\u0103ine din Universitatea Bucure\u0219ti. Ea se \u00eenscrie, mai degrab\u0103 printre adep\u021bii lui Paul Grice, acela care, cu eseul „Logica Conversa\u021biei”, a schimbat hot\u0103r\u00e2t teoria limbajului la \u00eenceputul anilor 1970. Prin urmare, autoarea se concentreaz\u0103 tocmai asupra leg\u0103turii profunde dintre studiile de limb\u0103 \u0219i cele de literatur\u0103. Ea \u00ee\u0219i exemplific\u0103 afirma\u021biile cu texte contemporane de cele mai diverse facturi, de la c\u0103r\u021bi la reviste de larg\u0103 circula\u021bie, de la filme la seriale de televiziune. Abordarea ei este \u00een acela\u0219i timp lingvistic\u0103, dar \u0219i „cultural\u0103” \u00een sensul cel mai cuprinz\u0103tor. Se ocup\u0103 de text, dar \u0219i de subtext. O intereseaz\u0103 „cum se adapteaz\u0103 omul la limbaj, dar \u0219i cum se adapteaz\u0103 limbajul la om”. Demersul ei unificator se adreseaz\u0103 \u00een mod direct profesorilor care predau limba englez\u0103 \u0219i care vor g\u0103si \u00een acest volum ceea ce c\u0103r\u021bile de teorie pur\u0103 nu le mai pot oferi. Lidia Vianu<\/p>\n

Pragmatics, de Daniela Sorea, se lanseaz\u0103 oficial la data de mar\u021bi 18 septembrie 2012, dar cartea poate fi consultat\u0103 \u0219i desc\u0103rcat\u0103 din acest moment la adresa de internet:<\/p>\n
