Odbiorca tłumaczenia w międzykulturowym treningu mediacyjnym (na przykładzie prac chińskich studentów polonistyki)
The target recipient in the intercultural training of mediation skills (based on examples of the translations of Chinese students of Polish language and culture)

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present and describe the development of textual mediation skills in the approach proposed by companion volume to Common European framework of reference for languages (CEFR CV) from 2018. The approach described in CEFR CV was applied during a translatology course for Chinese students of Polish language and culture, whose intersemiotic and intralingual translations are analyzed in this paper. According to Heinz Vater the ‘text’ is a linguistic (written or oral) phenomenon that comes into effect in a context and is understandable (complete) within a given situation. It should also be cohesive (grammatically correct) and coherent (semantically consistent). Examples of difficulty with all these indicators of textuality were found in the work of Chinese students, ranging from lack of cohesion, through lack of coherence, to the communicative dependence of the target text on the source text and not taking into account features of the target recipient. The authors focus on this last aspect and discuss the ways the students’ translations present the world and protagonists depicted in the source texts. Successful (i.e., target recipient-oriented) and unsuccessful translation solutions are indicated and potential causes of disruptions in the mediation process are identified.
