Findings
of investigation
While
doing the research on the Internet, I suddenly came up with an idea
to ask my Russian schoolmates about the translation of inscriptions
on the clothes. 12 people were asked. Students gave 12 wrong
answers from 49 (25%).
According
to results of my online-poll, where 19-22 people were asked, about
91% of respondents wear clothes with inscriptions in
English.
All of
asked people think that they know the translation of the text on
their t-shirts. But pursuant to other questionnaire, 12 from 49
inscriptions were translated wrongly (25%), that tell us that
fourth of respondents do not know what clothes
“speak”.
About an
equal number of respondents pay or don’t pay attention to the
English inscriptions on the clothes. About an equal number of asked
people choose their t-shirts according to the brand/human
characteristics or choose clothes with funny words/with the names
of music or sport groups.
Conclusion
Clothes
with inscriptions are one of the most popular garments. Almost
everyone has it.
The
inscriptions on the clothes existed many centuries ago. Both
children and adults all perceive English words on the clothes as a
stylish finishing element. And it is really a tribute to fashion.
The inscriptions on the clothes in English should be treated
carefully because a smart idea sounds ridiculous, if it isn’t
properly formulated in a foreign
language.
The
analysis of the collected material showed that the level of English
knowledge is connected with using English inscriptions on clothes.
We cannot tell about a great valid of our research but our study
also showed the inextricable link with the culture of the language
level of the individual.
Nowadays,
English is everywhere: on the goods and signs of stores,
electrical, clothing, on the Internet. It is taught in schools,
universities and courses. Inscriptions in English can be thus
express way which will help quickly, cheaply and effectively
replenish your vocabulary.
It`s
important to remember that we are responsible for information on
our clothes.
So our hypothesis has been
proved. Not everyone knows the meaning of the words
written on the clothes in spite of good language
level.
