Vytautas Ambrazas Office language tips. Corrected ir supplementary edition / Institute of Lithuanian Language; [prepared by Pranas Kniūkšta), Vilnius: Publicatiir ons of the Institute of Science Encyclopedias, 1998, 339 p. The 1993 edition of the “Office Language Tips” and the 1994 re-edition of the same were no longer available in the bookstores, and many of those who had purchased this favorite book had read it quite a lot. Since this type of book is relevant and necessary for those who manage business correspondence, for a large number of civil servants, and because a lot has changed over the past few years, the Language Culture Department of the Lithuanian Language Institute has prepared a new, revised and supplemented edition of “Office Language Tips”. In preparing this book, the authors (the main editor and curator Pranas Kniūkšta) had to review the phenomena and facts of the office language themselves and select them. It was abandoned outdated and disappeared from the business papers. In the “Tips” are no longer included such words as atsinešti (to express attitude, behaviour- ), davinys (to describe facts, data), išnešti (when there is no carrying, e.g., to carry out a decision, proposal, reprimand) and others. About two hundred legal, administrative language and writing concepts and terms (action, county, association, audit, auction, company, budget, check, department, fax, facsimile, fund, credit, media, mayor, customs, loan, 220 program, municipality, certificate, telecommunications, management, etc.) that have appeared or become more actively used in the writings of cases over the past year are included as headings. In fact, there are even more new positions, since the individual sections often contain examples of the use of compounds formed with the heading word as subheadings. For example, the issue of shares, the shareholder, the share package and the use of compounds are discussed in addition to the share. And the old articles are often expanded, adapted to current realities. For example, the minimum monthly salary, the basic salary, which came from normative acts, appeared next to the salary. The evaluation of some phenomena and the recommendations for use have also been revised. The topics discussed are carefully selected and relevant. In addition, it would have been desirable to expand the “Tips” even more. For example, although the book contains a number of generalizing headings denoting grammatical categories or otherwise, the inappropriate use of the plural (purchases, payments, transports, volumes, etc.) was not discussed. The presentation principles and structure of the new “Tips” material remained basically the same. The articles are arranged in alphabetical order of the title words, these words are explained, their use is illustrated. At first glance it might seem that common root words are too often described by separate articles (e.g.: apmokamas, apmokestinti, apmokėti, įmoka, įmokėti, išmoka, mokestis, mokėti, užmokestis), — one would like to read about them in one place. Partly for this reason, there is also duplication. However, this is not a drawback of the book —in most cases, the reader will not read the entire text, but will look for the fact of the language of his interest and will be sent links from one article to another. The interpretations of words (concepts) in the “advices” (although usually not very detailed) are sufficiently reliable, showing that the advisors are not only language teachers, but also well acquainted with legal matters, understand the subtleties of the office. To the reader who has found a careful word, the meaning of the word is first explained in a direct (definition) or descriptive way, what is appropriate and usable is said, attention is drawn to possible errors, and advice is given in one way or another. It is clear that the authors of the book have carefully monitored the state of the office language and, as far as possible, have tried to prevent language defects. For example, national is presented in the “Tips” as a rapidly spreading adjective used where necessary and where not necessary. It is said that it is used to describe things that are common to the whole state or to the state as a whole and has a broader meaning than state (e.g., national budget, national prize, national currency), while it is explained that this adjective is not suitable when talking about nation and nationality: not national, but national school, not national, but national minorities. The great value of the book and many practical benefits are given by existing illustrative sentences or other examples. Although this is not important in terms of language, it is good that the editors of the “Tips” have somewhat updated the examples — instead of no longer existing they have inserted the names of current organizations, changed and deleted outdated dates. Such illustrative examples have become more psychologically compelling. Compared to the previous “Office Language Tips”, the new thing is that a computer version of the “Tips” has been prepared together with the book. 221 ar su ir su ir In these times of computerization, this makes it possible for those ir who are accustomed to “Jliteratūros”, to check one more fact of the language in their usual way. Of course, it is ar difficult to expect that “Office Language Tips” can solve all existing language problems in business letters. It is a formal language, and is subject to the requirements — of the standard language, the laws of language. ir If the person in the institution has not learned the Lithuanian language well, does not feel its system, the learned use of one other clericalism ar will not improve the situation. iš But this is a matter ne for language learners alone. As it is, for ir Lithuania “harmonizing” su European The Union, į the chancery iš language of literally translated conventions, treaties and ir other documents would not again be flooded with primitive ir foreign values. Symptoms of such a disease, unfortunately, are already present. This testifies to the meaning of the discussed publication "Office Language Tips" shows ir that the end of this work (as an ir opportunity jį for further improvement) not to see. Gediminas Samulionis DIALECTOLOGUE IŠ On September 29, 1999, after a long illness, the famous Lithuanian dialect researcher, doctor of humanities, died Elena Greenwich. Ji born 1928 m. of June 10 d.
