34-495: " Central Range " or "Central Mountain Range" is a calque of the range's Chinese name, the Zhōngyāng Shānmài or Shānmò . It is also sometimes simply called the Zhongyang or Chungyang Range in English. During the Qing Dynasty , the range was known as the Ta-shan , from the Wade-Giles romanization of the Chinese name Dàshān , meaning "Big Mountains". In a broad sense, Central Mountain Range includes its conjoint ranges such as Xueshan Range and Yushan Range ; thus

68-617: A diminutive or, in Chinese , adding the word " cursor " ( 标 ), making shǔbiāo "mouse cursor" ( simplified Chinese : 鼠标 ; traditional Chinese : 鼠標 ; pinyin : shǔbiāo ). Another example is the Spanish word ratón that means both the animal and the computer mouse. The common English phrase " flea market " is a loan translation of the French marché aux puces ("market with fleas"). At least 22 other languages calque

102-537: A UHF aerial is required. MHEG-5 is the middleware standard for digital teletext . Programme information is displayed through the receiver's own inbuilt EPG. Either DVB or Teletext subtitling can be displayed when broadcast. Mary Curtis became Director of Digital Switchover (DSO) in September 2010 and reported to the Director General. She oversaw the transition from Analogue to Digital TV broadcast, which

136-461: A change to their "Strategy 2024" they plan to retain RTÉ GOLD. These services are due to close in 2024. RTÉ's time shift channels (+1 channels) are also due to close by 2028 under this plan. RTÉ operates two DVB-T PSB multiplexes for transmission of Saorview television and radio channels. Both multiplexes are free-to-air and feature MPEG-4 encoding. Initially, only one multiplex was available on

170-630: A competition for a commercial DTT service. In August 2013, the BAI confirmed that it would launch another attempt of finding a service provider for the commercial DTT service. This was to allow the PSB side to proceed with an ASO transition to DSO, a stabilized economic backdrop by that time (3 years time) to emerge and changes in the Broadcasting Act 2009 to allow it have statutory mediation powers in dealing with RTÉNL (now 2RN) that it currently has with

204-751: A practice known as interpretatio germanica : the Latin "Day of Mercury ", Mercurii dies (later mercredi in modern French ), was borrowed into Late Proto-Germanic as the "Day of Wōđanaz " ( Wodanesdag ), which became Wōdnesdæg in Old English , then "Wednesday" in Modern English. Since at least 1894, according to the Trésor de la langue française informatisé , the French term calque has been used in its linguistic sense, namely in

238-567: A publication by Louis Duvau: Un autre phénomène d'hybridation est la création dans une langue d'un mot nouveau, dérivé ou composé à l'aide d'éléments existant déja dans cette langue, et ne se distinguant en rien par l'aspect extérieur des mots plus anciens, mais qui, en fait, n'est que le calque d'un mot existant dans la langue maternelle de celui qui s'essaye à un parler nouveau. [...] nous voulons rappeler seulement deux ou trois exemples de ces calques d'expressions, parmi les plus certains et les plus frappants. Another phenomenon of hybridization

272-502: A satellite service, called Saorsat, would be offered to complement the terrestrial DTT service. Saorsat will enable Irish public service channels to be made available, unencrypted, for the first time, as a means of covering the last 2% of the population who will be unable to receive the Saorview terrestrial service. RTÉ said the combined offering was designed to be the most cost-effective solution for viewers and broadcasters; to offer for

306-415: A similar phrase might have arisen in both languages independently. This is less likely to be the case when the grammar of the proposed calque is quite different from that of the borrowing language, or when the calque contains less obvious imagery. One system classifies calques into five groups. This terminology is not universal: Some linguists refer to a phonological calque , in which the pronunciation of

340-402: A trial basis with a full launch on 26 May 2011. By legislation it was required to be available to approximately 90% of the population by end of October 2010 in a public testing capacity and nationwide by December 2011. The national public launch was preceded by a public information campaign, which began on 15 March 2011, with television and radio advertising beginning on 17 March 2011. Saorview

374-471: A view to commercial DTT being operational in 2013" . It continued: "it is the considered view of the Authority that as part of the preparation for the successful launch of commercial DTT in the future, legislative change will be necessary to enable the Authority to have formal relationships with the applicants, as obtains at present, and with RTÉNL" . To date, the BAI have not announced any plans for

408-515: A word is imitated in the other language. For example, the English word "radar" becomes the similar-sounding Chinese word 雷达 ( pinyin : léidá ), which literally means "to arrive (as fast) as thunder". Partial calques, or loan blends, translate some parts of a compound but not others. For example, the name of the Irish digital television service Saorview is a partial calque of that of

442-731: A word or phrase from another language while translating its components, so as to create a new lexeme in the target language. For instance, the English word skyscraper has been calqued in dozens of other languages, combining words for "sky" and "scrape" in each language, as for example Wolkenkratzer in German, arranha-céu in Portuguese, grattacielo in Italian, gökdelen in Turkish, and matenrou(摩天楼) in Japanese. Calquing

476-425: Is distinct from phono-semantic matching : while calquing includes semantic translation, it does not consist of phonetic matching—i.e., of retaining the approximate sound of the borrowed word by matching it with a similar-sounding pre-existing word or morpheme in the target language. Proving that a word is a calque sometimes requires more documentation than does an untranslated loanword because, in some cases,

510-444: Is the creation in a language of a new word, derived or composed with the help of elements already existing in that language, and which is not distinguished in any way by the external aspect of the older words, but which, in fact, is only the copy ( calque ) of a word existing in the mother tongue of the one who tries out a new language. [...] we want to recall only two or three examples of these copies ( calques ) of expressions, among

544-431: The 2008 licence process. The BAI said at the time: "the Authority now considers that it will not be feasible to introduce commercial DTT as originally intended until after Analogue Switch Off (ASO) at the earliest. The position will be reviewed towards the end of 2011 and the Authority may seek expressions of interest in the provision of commercial DTT at that point. A competition could potentially be held during 2012 with

578-514: The BAI would now welcome the opportunity to discuss the findings of the report and the policy implications arising at an early date." There are a large number of hidden channels that are not visible on most receivers which are presumably reserved for future services: At 10   am on 24 October 2012 all analogue television transmitters in Ireland were switched off and Saorview became the primary source of Irish terrestrial television. The process

612-525: The French expression directly or indirectly through another language. The word loanword is a calque of the German noun Lehnwort . In contrast, the term calque is a loanword, from the French noun calque ("tracing, imitation, close copy"). Another example of a common morpheme-by-morpheme loan-translation is of the English word " skyscraper ", a kenning -like term which may be calqued using

646-476: The UK service " Freeview ", translating the first half of the word from English to Irish but leaving the second half unchanged. Other examples include " liverwurst " (< German Leberwurst ) and " apple strudel " (< German Apfelstrudel ). The " computer mouse " was named in English for its resemblance to the animal . Many other languages use their word for "mouse" for the "computer mouse", sometimes using

680-422: The broadcasters and interested parties but not with 2RN. 2RN is currently regulated by ComReg . In August 2013 a report into Commercial DTT by Oliver & Ohlbaum was given to the BAI, the report outlined the main problems associated with DTT in Ireland including the lack of free-to-air services on Saorview. Based on this report the BAI have decided not to proceed with a licence competition for pay-DTT. The report

714-518: The first time 100% coverage of public service television services in Ireland, and to provide full national backup coverage on satellite in the event of an emergency or catastrophic failure of the DTT system . Approval for the revised National DTT plan and the new Saorsat satellite service was announced by the Minister for Communications at the end of July 2010. Test loop transmissions were detected from

748-433: The highest elevations, subalpine forests are dominated by conifers, including Taiwan hemlock, Taiwan spruce ( Picea morrisonicola ), and Taiwan fir ( Abies kawakamii ). Calque In linguistics , a calque ( / k æ l k / ) or loan translation is a word or phrase borrowed from another language by literal word-for-word or root-for-root translation . When used as a verb , “to calque” means to borrow

782-526: The most certain and the most striking. Since at least 1926, the term calque has been attested in English through a publication by the linguist Otakar Vočadlo  [ cs ] : Notes Bibliography Saorview Saorview ( / ˈ s ɛər v j uː / SAIR -vyoo ) is the national digital terrestrial television (DTT) service in Ireland . It is owned by RTÉ and operated by 2RN . The service began operation on 29 October 2010 on

816-517: The name of the DTT service of the United Kingdom . Saorview is available from 64 DTT transmitters covering 98% of the population as of the end of Q3 2012. The previous analogue terrestrial television (ATT) network was available to 98% of the population from 150 ATT transmitters, however TV3 and TG4 were not available on all transmitters. The service is a DVB-T/MPEG-4 HD broadcast that is received via set-top box (STB) receiver or iDTV and

850-557: The platform on 1 February 2023. In September 2023 TG4's time shift service, TG4 +1, and its children's channel, Cúla4 , were added to the line up. As of November 2023 there are 16 television services, of which 3 are HD, and 12 radio stations of which only 2 are non-RTÉ radio stations. July 2016 Irish TV said it would join the Saorview platform, however this did not happen due to the eventual closure of Irish TV. As part of RTÉ's "New Direction" they plan to drop RTÉ Radio 1 Extra, RTÉ Radio Jr, RTÉ 2XM, RTÉ Chill and RTÉ Pulse, but in

884-411: The service, the second public service Mux was launched with the introduction of RTÉ One in upscaled HD on 21 October 2013. A further four multiplexes are available for commercial pay DTT. 2RN has the capacity to provide commercial DTT capacity on its network for pay TV services that can agree terms with it and the BAI. However the option to launch commercial muxes was not pursued in the aftermath of

918-453: The subtropical pine Pinus massoniana . As elevation increases, the evergreen broadleaf trees are gradually replaced by deciduous broadleaf trees and conifers . At higher elevations, Cyclobalanopsis glauca replaces laurel and Castanopsis as the dominant tree. Above 3,000 m (9,840 ft), deciduous broadleaf trees like Formosan alder (Alnus formosana) and maple (Acer spp.) mix with Taiwan hemlock (Tsuga chinensis). At

The Central Range lies within the Taiwan subtropical evergreen forests ecoregion, and the composition of the forest varies with elevation. The coastal plains and lower elevations are covered by evergreen laurel- Castanopsis forests dominated by Cryptocarya chinensis and Castanopsis hystrix with scattered stands of

986-483: The word for "sky" or "cloud" and the word, variously, for "scrape", "scratch", "pierce", "sweep", "kiss", etc. At least 54 languages have their own versions of the English word. Some Germanic and Slavic languages derived their words for "translation" from words meaning "carrying across" or "bringing across", calquing from the Latin translātiō or trādūcō . The Latin weekday names came to be associated by ancient Germanic speakers with their own gods following

1020-880: Was RTÉ One HD on 16 December 2013. TG4 HD joined the platform on 1 December 2022. UTV Ireland joined Saorview for its launch on 1 January 2015. It was later bought by rival TV3 and rebranded as be3, later all TV3 channels would be rebranded as Virgin Media Television, and this channel was renamed Virgin Media Three. Radio Maria Ireland was added to the service in September 2018, while in December 2021 UCB Ireland radio joined Saorview. On November 30, 2021, Sky News joined Saorview on Channel 23. Virgin Media Four began broadcasting on 24 August 2022. Sky -owned Challenge joined its sister channel on

1054-900: Was completed in October 2012. The service was launched in 2011 with the ASO campaign phase beginning Dec 2011. Two campaigns were launched. The first campaign was marketing Saorview and was paid for by RTÉ, this cost RTÉ over €3million, meanwhile, a second campaign featuring Gay Byrne was also launched by the Department of Communications, it also cost in the region of €3million. Both campaigns used social media such as Facebook and Twitter alongside their own websites www.goingdigital.ie (now defunct) and saorview.ie . Saorview on launch carried just one High Definition (HD) channel — RTÉ Two HD , along with 7 Standard Definition (SD) channels and along with RTÉ's 10 radio stations. The second HD channel to launch

On its publication Bob Collins, Chairperson of the BAI said "The contents of the report raise a number of policy implications for consideration by Government and also for the BAI, having regard to its statutory obligations and its enduring objectives in respect of diversity and plurality. In submitting copies of the review to the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources,

Following the failure of the commercial DTT process RTÉ submitted a revised DTT plan including an FTA satellite option to the Department of Communications in mid-June 2010 for approval. RTÉ publicly announced at an Oireachtas Joint Committee on Communications discussion in mid-July 2010 that
