Talk:Marszałek sejmu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Move

Shoudln't this be moved? The English versions of this term are used quite often:

• Marshal of the Sejm - Google: 450
• Speaker of the Sejm - Google: 516
• Sejm Marshal - Google: 403--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 19:30, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

When there exists, for a Polish term, an adequate English equivalent term, especially a cognate, I think we should consider it. Accordingly, in this case I favor "Marshal of the Sejm," which also preserves the original Polish title's sequence of sememes.

"Sejm Marshal," I think, creates a clash with the two adjacent "m's," and might be confused, in speech, with "Same Marshal."

If the Polish "marszałek" had no cognate formal equivalent in English — which it has in "marshal" — then "Speaker of the Sejm" might serve as a dynamic equivalent.

On second thought, I think I like "Marshal of the Sejm" better. Appleseed (Talk) 04:43, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
