The present study explores the effects of reading and translating violent content on translation students' affect, narrative transportation and strategies to reproduce manner information in the target text. Our hypotheses predict that negatively valenced content will influence translation students' strategic behavior, levels of affect and narrative transportation differently from more neutral, positive content both after reading and translating. Results show that students added more manner information and made more mistakes in the negative text than in the neutral one. Violent content does not significantly impact students' levels of negative affect, but increases their levels of narrative transportation to a greater extent than neutral content both after reading and translating. Nevertheless, results point to the greater potential of translation to foster narrative transportation.

Motion-event typology has moved into a “post-Talmian” terrain of approaches focusing on an open-ended number of patterns across languages and constructions. Following a proposal to distinguish between four typological clusters, we systematically compared the motion event descriptions in four languages suggested to exemplify these clusters: Swedish, French, Thai and Telugu, with the help of an elicitation-based study. 20 adult native speakers of each language were asked to describe 52 motion events, 38 of which were translocative. The stimuli varied with respect to the parameters caused/uncaused, bounded/unbounded motion as well as the viewpoint from which they were filmed. The descriptions were analyzed following Holistic Spatial Semantics and compared with respect to the categories Path, Direction, Region, Landmark, Manner and Cause, as well as the means of expressing these. The four languages patterned differently in significant ways. In terms of Path expression, French lagged behind the other languages, but with respect to Direction, it patterned together with Swedish. We demonstrate a number of such criss-crossing patterns, showing that there is no way to group the languages, thus implying at least four distinct typological prototypes. Further, we show that different kinds of motion situations, corresponding to different constructions, need to be compared separately.

This article revisits the idea of parallelism between the two semiotic planes – expression and content – focusing on two seemingly contradictory analogies found in the structural literature, namely expression figuræ : sign expressions :: content figuræ : sign contents and phonic features : phonemes :: semantic features : signifieds. It is shown that, though it may not seem to be the case at first glance, both analogies describe the same types of relations and can be regarded as equally valid from the point of view of their respective theoretical frameworks and levels of analysis. However, a functional synthesis of the two views ultimately reveals an asymmetry in the categorical structure of the two planes, a situation that is explained by the nature of the relationship between expression and content.

This paper analyses the use of verbal tense forms in Wangerooge Frisian, a West Germanic language spoken on the Wadden Sea island Wangerooge until the early twentieth century. Specifically, the use of the present, past, and perfect constructions is investigated in a corpus of texts from the nineteenth century. It is argued that the Wangerooge Frisian perfect could be used as a non-firsthand evidential strategy marking the propositional content as hearsay or inferred. While such evidential perfects are cross-linguistically well attested, they are generally thought to be uncommon in Western European languages. The Wangerooge Frisian case thus shows the value of lesser-studied vernaculars for the typology of European languages.
