An important writer who highlighted the topic of women and rooms is Charlotte Perkins Gilman, a journalist and a feminist intellectual in her time. Mainly, she had an interest in political and social justice, but the inferior status that women had inside the marital relationship was the central objective of her writing. In various works, Gilman claimed that women’s requirement to remain in the context of marriage deprived them of the opportunity to explore their full creative and intellectual potential, while also depriving society of women with skills suitable for public and professional life. She argued that the traditional family hierarchy was something that did not make any family member content - neither the husband, who was transformed into a master, nor the wife, who had become an unpaid domestic worker, and certainly not the children, who were subordinated to both of their parents. She also had a strong opinion on women’s economic freedom, firmly believing that it could be beneficial to society itself. By promoting those ideas, Gilman was a predecessor of Virginia Woolf’s concepts and thoughts in A Room of One’s Own.

This article seeks to emphasize the importance of teaching vocabulary in primary school. Vocabulary development occurs as students interact repeatedly with new words, enriching their personal vocabulary. This growth is stimulated through listening, speaking, reading, and writing activities. Language acquisition naturally progresses from simple words to complex sentences, with listening and speaking skills typically developing before reading and writing. Therefore, classroom instruction should reflect this sequence; prioritizing reading and writing skills over speaking can obstruct language learning. A solid vocabulary base is vital for effective communication and serves as the foundation for essential language skills, including reading, listening, speaking, writing, spelling, and pronunciation. A strong vocabulary allows students to engage meaningfully with English, whether through conversation, enjoying media, or composing messages, making vocabulary enhancement critical for second language proficiency.

This article analyses the specific features of advertising discourse, drawing on various discourse theories through the operationalisation of concepts such as discursive context, co-text, peritext, hypertext, and discursive tradition. Advertising creativity aims at constructing the advertising text by exploring the resources of language, engaging both the idiomatic and expressive competence of the speaker and the receiver.

As a text type, the culinary recipe belongs to the category of procedural texts, and as a communicative activity, its purpose is to present the process of preparing a dish. This type of text exhibits different formal characteristics depending on whether it is in written or oral form. In this article, we conduct a comparative analysis of a corpus of written recipes by M. Kogălniceanu and Costache Negruzzi, Mihai Lupescu, and others, alongside a corpus of oral culinary recipes collected through field surveys as part of the eCULTFOOD project. By analyzing these texts, we aim to highlight defining features of the culinary recipe's profile.

This article explores the Imagist poetics of William Carlos Williams, focusing on three of his iconic works: Spring and All, The Red Wheelbarrow, and Portrait of a Lady. Through his precise and vivid imagery, Williams captures the mundane beauty of everyday life while rejecting traditional metaphors and embellishments. The analysis examines how Williams' background as a physician and painter informed his artistic vision, enabling him to merge visual and textual art into an innovative poetic form. The article delves into the structural and thematic elements of each poem, highlighting Williams' use of fragmented language, stark realism, and minimalist aesthetics. From the symbolic rebirth in Spring and All to the introspective simplicity of The Red Wheelbarrow and the sensual objectification in Portrait of a Lady, the study illustrates how Williams' poetry transforms ordinary moments into profound artistic expressions. Ultimately, this work underscores Williams' significant contribution to modernist literature and the enduring impact of Imagism in redefining poetic form and meaning.
