CLIE-2020 aims at investigating the potential manipulative force of figurative language, especially metaphors, used in the public sphere and media in particular, especially in a time of pandemic. The metaphor of war was widely exploited for the covid-19 epidemic by state leaders, government officials or prominent politicians (e.g. Romanian President Iohannis: “we are in the middle of a war; our heroes in the frontline are the doctors and the healthcare professionals”; President Trump called himself a “war-time president”, fighting against an “invisible enemy”; Queen Elizabeth II said “we will meet again”, reverberating a Second World War song, etc.) in order to legitimise the national imposition of the state of emergency. It is nonetheless important to beware the hazards of such powerful framings, as the reality of a war turns people into warriors, calls to obedience, propagates panic and instigates to hatred or racist action against the culprits (see President Trump referring to it as the “China virus”). Ideological manipulation through figurative language (metaphors, as well as hyperbole or irony) is a consequential phenomenon that needs to be further explored as it critically impacts not only national and international decisions and courses of action, but also our daily life, interactions and behaviours (the encroachment of social-distancing rules turned those of us who did not follow them and/or scorned the severity of the pandemic into ‘traitors’ and ‘deserters’).

DEVELOPING TRANSLATION TECHNIQUES IN A BUSINESS ENGLISH CLASSROOM Teodora Popescu 1 Decembrie 1918 University of Alba Iulia, Romania Abstract This article brings forth a possible teaching paradigm that re-evaluates the pedagogical benefits of teaching translation techniques to business students. While rejecting the one-sided structural/grammatical translation method, we propose a model based on the Lexical Approach which draws on the lexical, paradigmatic, as well as syntagmatic equivalence between the source language and the target language. Key words: Translation competence; Translation skills; Translation education; Equivalence. (6) Body of the text: regular font, TNR (11 pt) Headings: bold, aligned left, separated from the text by a blank line, Arab numbering Emphasis Bold should only be used for the title, subtitles, and headings.Italics should be used for emphasis, examples interpolated in the text, non-English words and book/journal titles.‘Single quotation marks’ enclose translations, e.g. Romanian active circulante - ‘current assets’.“Double quotation marks” enclose brief citations running in the text (longer quotations, indented on all sides, are not put between quotation marks). Footnotes: regular font, TNR (9 pt)Footnotes should be marked consecutively throughout the text by a number directly following a punctuation mark. Figures, tables etc. Figures, tables etc. should be provided on a separate page (with appropriate reference in the text) or inserted as moveable objects in the text. Citations and quotations Citations and quotations are followed by parentheses containing author’s surname, year of publication and a reference to page(s) – e.g. (Popescu 2004:45). Brief citations are interpolated in the text, between double quotation marks. Longer quotations (5-10 lines) should appear as separate blocks, indented left and right and separated from the text by an extra-line space above and below, without quotation marks. (7) References: regular font, TNR (10 pt) References should be indicated in the typescript by giving the author’s name, with the year of publication in parentheses - e.g. (Popescu 2004:45). If several papers by the same author from the same year are cited, a, b, c, etc. should be put after the year of publication. The references should be listed in full at the end of the paper in the following standard form: For books: - single author:Handy, C.B. (1985). Understanding organizations.
