The paper investigates the possible conceptual bases of differences between seemingly synonymous and easily definable temporal expressions. Looking at the usage patterns of nominal temporal phrases in reference corpora of English and Polish we attempt to relate these subtleties to the different granularity of the cognitive scales on which construals of time quantities in general are based. More specifically, we focus on a subset of nominal temporal expressions which adhere to the “number + time unit” pattern, matching what Haspelmath (1997: 26) describes as “culture-bound artificial time units”. Using the British National Corpus (BNC) and the National Corpus of Polish (NCP), we first analyse both the variation and the regularity found in naturally-occurring samples of Polish and English. Finally, we compare the patterns of use emerging from the two corpora and arrive at cross-linguistic generalisations about the conceptualisation of time quantities.

The aim of this article is the characterization of chosen temporal expressions in the Book of Psalms of Mikołaj Rej. The author, who analyses the chosen fragments of the piece in a linguistic and stylistic way, depicts the originality and independence of Rej from Latin sources: the Wulgata and the Campensis in translations of those expressions that concern temporal relations. The author proves that the superior aim of the Rej’s translation piece was on the one hand the revision of Biblical realities and on the other hand the particular care of stylistic translation’s form.

Temporal Expressions in Polish Corpus KPWrThis article presents the result of the recent research in the interpretation of Polish expressions that refer to time. These expressions are the source of information when something happens, how often something occurs or how long something lasts. Temporal information, which can be extracted from text automatically, plays significant role in many information extraction systems, such as question answering, discourse analysis, event recognition and many more. We prepared PLIMEX - a broad description of Polish temporal expressions with annotation guidelines, based on the state-of-the-art solutions for English, mainly TimeML specification. We also adapted the solution to capture the local semantics of temporal expressions, called LTIMEX. Temporal description also supports further event identification and extends event description model, focusing at anchoring events in time, ordering events and reasoning about the persistence of events. We prepared the specification, which is designed to address these issues and we annotated all documents in Polish Corpus of Wroclaw University of Technology (KPWr) using our annotation guidelines.

Český občanský zákoník nedávno zavedl rozlišení mezi dvěma výrazy označujícími časový úsek: dobou a lhůtou. Oba z těchto výrazů se často v běžném jazyce používají jako synonyma, a proto představují riziko, že je překladatel neidentifikuje jako termíny. Podle našeho názoru nejsou definice formulované autory zákona dostatečné, aby uživatelům odborného jazyka osvětlily zamýšlený rozdíl (cf. Goźdź-Roszkowski, 2013: 100). Cílem této studie je popsat rozdíl mezi termíny pomocí kvalitativní analýzy jejich kolokačních vzorců a profilu v občanském zákoníku. Druhá část se věnuje analýze možných ekvivalentů v angličtině (time limit, period, deadline, time) a jejich kolokací v zákonech psaných v angličtině. K analýze je použit srovnatelný korpus českého občanského zákoníku a vybraných civilních předpisů z anglicky mluvících zemí. Poznatky získané analýzou mohou být zdrojem překladových řešení pro překladatele právních textů mezi češtinou a angličtinou.

Czeski Kodeks cywilny wprowadził od niedawna rozróżnienie pomiędzy dwoma oznaczeniami okresu czasu: lhůta i doba, które są często używane wymiennie w czeskim języku potocznym i tym samym mylone przez tłumaczy, nie uznających je za terminy. Przyjmuje się, że definicje zawarte we wspomnianej ustawie nie opisują różnicy znaczeniowej tych terminów w stopniu zadowalającym dla nie prawników (cf. Goźdź-Roszkowski, 2013:100). Artykuł ten ma na celu opis różnic znaczeniowych tych terminów w oparciu o analizę jakościową ich wzorów kolokacyjnych oraz profilu, tak, jak są one używane we wzmiankowanym Kodeksie. Dalsza część artykułu zawiera analizę możliwych ekwiwalentów (time limit, period, deadline, time) oraz ich kolokacji w oparciu o ustawę podaną w języku angielskim. Analiza przeprowadzona została w oparciu o korpus zbudowany z czeskiego Kodeksu Cywilnego i porównywalnego korpusu tekstów ustaw w języku angielskim. Konkluzje tej analizy posłużą do określenia strategii dostępnych tłumaczom podczas borykania się z określeniami czasu w parze czeski-angielski.

The Czech Civil Code has recently introduced differentiation between two terms denoting a period of time: lhůta and doba. Both of these terms are used, often interchangeably, in ordinary Czech language and are thus susceptible to failure by translators to be recognized as terms. It is believed that the definitions provided by the draftsmen of the said code do not describe the difference in meaning sufficiently for non-lawyers to understand (cf. Goźdź-Roszkowski, 2013: 100). Therefore, this paper aims at describing the difference in meaning of these terms on the basis of a qualitative analysis of their collocational patterns and collocational profile, as used in the wording of the said law. The second part of the paper consists of an analysis of potential English equivalents (time limit, period, deadline, time) and their collocates as used in legislation drafted in English. The analysis is based on a corpus compiled of the Czech Civil Code and a comparable corpus of civil legislation drafted in English. The findings of the analysis will outline the strategies available to translators dealing with temporal expressions at the Czech-English interface.
