The article is an attempt to show the temporal and the linguistic aspect of any historical event. The author relies chiefly on the achievements of German humanist sciences and the example of the French Revolution. The major aim of the publication is to capture the singularity of modernising transformations in the domain of political life.
The article presents a concept of gradual cyclical progression of material in the practice-oriented teaching of characteristics of specialised language in translation classes for beginners, which was developed by the author for the course Fundamentals of German-Polish Translation. The starting point for the development of the concept was Roelcke‘s concept of specialised language ([1999] 2020: 69–154) and the context of the course (degree programme, course aims, the profile of the graduate, the situation of translators in the translation market). Next, the concept is presented in terms of the division of material and its implementation in the class, where a gradual cyclical progression of the material discussed was most important, which is justified with examples. Since the concept owes its origin to the everyday practice of translators, the paper is based much more on the translator’s own experience and reflections than on a broader analysis of the relevant literature, which is usually theoretically oriented and does not provide any concrete hints on how theoretical knowledge could be implemented in practice oriented translation teaching.
