The paper attempts to list the dilemmas proper names present to literary translators based on the author’s own and others’ literary translations. There is no consistent rule governing whether or not to translate proper names in Hungarian. Generally names embedded in the text are dealt with according to the client’s requirements, the context and the literary translator’s resources. This is the case even if a name does not simply serve as an identifier, to separate an entity unambiguously, but has significant meaning, refers to something important or contributes to the overall ambience. There are arguments for and against the translation of proper names; using the originals is timesaving, cost-efficient and makes reference to the original easier, while translation provides the reader with extra information, to say nothing of the ’magical vibes’ of the name, the evoked feeling of unfamiliarity or familiarity, the atmosphere produced by it. As every case differs, a translator must take all significant factors into consideration and make a decision that will greatly influence the reception of a literary work. Although it may seem logical to expect consistency within a work, series or oeuvre, the paper attempts to show why consistency in dealing with proper names is something a literary translator aspires to, but never fully achieves.

The paper provides an onomastic examination of the fantasy book series entitled A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin, mainly focusing on personal and animal names. The author explores the system and rules behind name giving in the novels, with respect to the different characters and societies that appear in the story. The paper also seeks to find similarities to and differences from the relevant aspects of real life name giving practices, such as dynastic name giving or bynaming. The magical powers of names play an important role in the novel sequence. The possibility, precision and motivation of translating personal and animal names is also treated in the paper. Finally, the author gives a short, thus incomplete overview of the potential in a deeper onomastic examination of the A Song of Ice and Fire series.

The aim of this study is to present the problems that may be raised by the translation of proper names on different levels of context, and the methods with which translators can solve these issues. To this end, using the framework of relevance theory, the author first clarifies the concepts of translation, meaning and context. Section 4 attempts to define a proper name and then, comparing the semantic structures of proper names and common names, proposes that there is no qualitative semantic difference between the two categories. Consequently, the translation of proper names essentially raises the same questions as the translation of common names, thus the translation operations applied to them must be selected with as much regard to the context as in the case of common names. Section 5 defines four translation operations called transfer, translation (proper), substitution, and modification. Following which Section 6 illustrates their uses in solving translation problems on various levels of context through examples.

Recently prestigious local publishing houses have been publishing a growing number of geographical descriptions of Hungary in English. While these publications are of outstanding design, the authors do not use the names of geographical objects in Hungary in a standardized manner. As a result, the foreign reader may find distinct variants of the same name within the same book. This can encumber the interpretation of information, and the identification of certain geographical features on maps. The author examines the peculiarities of naming lakes in Hungarian and in English while exploring the spelling rules behind the name forms in both languages. The author then compares several examples taken from Hungary with the names of lakes in English-speaking countries. Finally, the author proposes that the English standardized equivalents of the Hungarian names for lakes should be used more consistently.

En este artículo se busca analizar los efectos y las transformaciones urbanas acaecidas durante el periodo de globalización en la pequeña ciudad de Angol, ubicada en la Región de La Araucanía, Chile. Los resultados dan cuenta de que la globalización neoliberal ha tecnificado la agricultura, expandido las plantaciones forestales y robustecido el sector servicios de la comuna dándole continuidad a procesos de migración rural-urbano. Mientras los sectores antiguos de la ciudad están experimentado una renovación urbana, aquellos distritos periféricos se han expandido espacial y poblacionalmente. Esto es por la construcción de viviendas sociales, cuestión que se ha traducido en un aumento de la segregación a pequeña escala, sin fragmentación urbana, ni desintegración funcional gracias a la tendencia hacia la policentralización gatillada por la globalización neoliberal.

Considering that the regional origin of foods can increase consumer acceptance, the relative importance of the designation of origin (DO) in the decision to purchase tomatoes in Temuco and Puerto Montt, Chile was evaluated, consumer segments were distinguished according to their preferences by administering a survey to 400 people. A conjoint analysis was used to determine that the variety of tomato (41.8%) was more important than DO (19.5%) and price (17.0%). Presentation and size were the least important attributes. Consumers preferred long-life tomatoes and in bunch, with Angol DO at the lowest price. A hierarchical cluster analysis distinguished three segments. The first (52.5%) was sensitive to variety. The second (13.0%) was also sensitive to variety, but they preferred to pay the highest price. The third (34.5%) was sensitive to price. All three segments preferred the tomato with Angol DO. The segments differed significantly according to gender, size of family group and level of satisfaction with their food-related life. The results indicate a good acceptance of tomatoes with Angol DO; however, particular relevance must be given to the variety of tomato produced.

This paper seeks to analyze the effects and urban transformations that occurred during the period of globalization in the small town of Angol. his city is located in the Araucania Region, Chile. he results show that the neo-liberal globalization has modernized agriculture; forest plantations expanded and strengthened the service sector of the commune giving continuity to processes of rural-urban migration. While the older sectors of the city are experiencing urban renewal, those outlying districts have expanded spatial and demographic thanks to the construction of social housing, an issue which has resulted in increased small-scale segregation without urban fragmentation, or functional disintegration due to the trend towards policentralización triggered by neoliberal globalization.

To explore how the global status of English influences knowledge production and circulation, this paper focuses on citations in English-medium national and English-medium international journal articles. Drawing on text, ethnographic, and corpus data from a longitudinal study in four national contexts, we argue that citation practices vary significantly along geolinguistic lines – that is, in terms of who gets cited, where and by whom – and that such differences are highly consequential. We argue that multilingual scholars face particularly difficult decisions which can in part be understood as a tension between the politics of knowledge building and knowledge measuring. We conclude by calling for greater recognition of this tension in discussions about English as an academic lingua franca and in Anglophone centre gatekeeping practices. A dolgozat országos és nemzetközi tudományos szakfolyóiratok hivatkozási gyakorlatát elemzi, és azt vizsgálja, hogyan befolyásolja az angol nyelv globális státusza a tudományos ismeretalkotás és ismeretközlés folyamatát. Négy különböző országban végeztünk longitudinális kutatást, és szövegelemzéssel, valamint etnográfiai és korpuszalapú módszerekkel nyert adatainkból megállapítottuk: a hivatkozás gyakorlata nagymértékben függ geolingvisztikai tényezőktől, vagyis az, hogy mely szerzők, mely országokban, kikre hivatkoznak, igen eltérő lehet, és ezek az eltérések jelentős következményekkel járnak. Ebből számunkra kitűnik, hogy a több nyelven publikáló kutatóknak különösen nehéz döntésekkel kell szembesülniük, melyek egyik forrása az a feszültség, amely a tudománypolitika ismeretépítéstés ismeretértékelést szolgáló irányelvei között húzódik. Dolgozatunk következtetésében rámutatunk, hogy ennek a feszültségnek több figyelmet kellene kapnia az angol, mint tudományos közvetítő nyelv szerepéről szóló elemzésekben, valamint az angol nyelvű publikációs központok szerzőkkel szemben támasztott követelményrendszerében és szelekciós gyakorlatában.
