Linguocognitive feаtures of proper nouns in English and Uzbek languages
This study explores the linguocognitive features of proper nouns in English and Uzbek, focusing on their semantic, cognitive, and cultural aspects. Proper nouns are not only linguistic units but also reflections of cultural identity, historical background, and societal norms. The research examines the formation, classification, and cognitive processing of proper nouns in both languages, highlighting similarities and differences in their usage. Special attention is given to how proper names encode cultural information and influence perception in different linguistic communities. The study also discusses the role of cognitive linguistics in understanding the conceptual nature of naming conventions.Findings indicate that proper nouns in English and Uzbek share universal cognitive patterns, yet differ in morphological structure, semantic motivation, and sociocultural significance. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of onomastics, cross-linguistic cognition, and cultural linguistics.

A Comparative Study of the Characters of Qaido and Iago in Literature
The Shakespeare of the Punjabi language and the Shakespeare of the English language are quite unique in their humanistic approach. They artistically encapsulate their time, which is not frozen but constant, making it possible to say that they are not specific to a particular era; rather, they are universal and belong to all ages. Their characters are not confined to the past; rather, their characters transcend past, present, and future. For instance, Heer and Ranjha are universal characters. These two can be found in every culture in various forms and perspectives. Similarly, Romeo and Juliet are recognizable in all cultures, but the two satanic and evil characters are quite universal: Qaido and Iago.

Homo precarius
Mariana Baloşescu proposes a critical vision of the postmodern man. She uses the less common concept of homo precarius, with which she associates postmodernist thinking, valuing the original meaning of the Latin root - prex. Mariana Baloşescu's analyses of representative theoretical and literary texts demonstrate that homo precarius renounces the ideal (as harmony between the person and the Divinity), breaks ties with Christian and Jewish memory and engages in an experience of freedom of thought from which, however, he fails to obtain a clear awareness of moral responsibility. On the contrary, he ends up self-undermining his moral conscience, his understanding of good and evil. By openly opposing posthumanist ideology, Mariana Baloşescu therefore invites the reader to a harsh assessment of their own postmodern consciousness. Her book is a lucid meditation, in search of a way out of the crisis of humanism, other than posthumanism. And the subtle message that emerges from reading the book is the need for love for man and the need to return with confidence to the memory of humanity, where the sources for the rebirth of the ideal and moral consciousness are. (Porfirie Pescaru)

How does music influence the creation of dance? How might dance and music be understood to exchange and transfer their content, sense and process during both the creative process and the interpretative process?

Writing Forward
This collection of essays by a team of internationally respected researchers at the cutting edge of translation studies was inspired by the idea of "writing forward" as a strategy for theatre translation proposed by David Johnston, the award-winning translator and scholar.Opening this volume is a conversation between David Johnston and Lawrence Venuti in which they explore a broad range of topics that bear on the translation of theatrical texts for performance. The chapters that follow are grouped into three main parts. Part One, "Extending Translation", contains essays whose respective theoretical emphases test, push, and stretch traditional conceptual boundaries. Part Two, "Translating for Theatre", zooms in on various aspects of theatre translation. Part Three, "Translation and Creativity", shifts the focus beyond the stage to other forms of artistic expression: poetry, painting, film, and television. Finally, in the short play Noli me tangere, written especially for this volume, Juan Mayorga reflects on theatre as the art of distance, and on the mysteriousness of translation as the art of negotiating that distance.Thinking about and practicing translation as "writing forward" underscores its perpetual provisionality and hermeneutic openness; its ability to surprise and stimulate but also remind and reassure. By enriching our understanding of translation, performance, and creativity, this volume will no doubt inspire further explorations into their fascinating complexities. Useful and important reading for advanced students and researchers of literature, theatre, culture, and translation.
