Memory Training through Visualization in Consecutive Interpreting

Author(s): Iulia Bobăilă / Language(s): English Issue: 02/2009

El artículo se propone señalar algunas posibilidades de mejorar la memoria en la interpretación consecutiva mediante la visualización. A través de unos fragmentos de discursos concretos, se analizan las posibles ventajas de esta técnica, pero se llama también la atención sobre las trampas inevitables que surgen si una memoria bien entrenada no está acompañada por unos sólidos conocimientos extralingüísticos. Asimismo, se presenta la modalidad de utilizar algunos elementos de la teoría cognoscitiva de la metáfora en la enseñanza de la interpretación.

Speech Analysis, Production, and Delivery in Early CI Training

Author(s): Bogdan Aldea / Language(s): English Issue: 02/2009

Les cours d‘introduction à l‘interprétation de conférence sont généralement considérés comme étant d‘une grande importance et la littérature du domaine propose de nombreuses recommandations quant aux types d‘exercices à faire dans cette étape. Notre intervention voudrait faire accréditer l‘idée qu‘on devrait ajouter aux exercices d‘écoute active et de mémorisation une approche centrée sur l‘objet de travail des interprètes, à savoir le discours. Nous sommes persuadé que les exercices impliquant l‘analyse d‘un discours, alors qu‘il est accompagné d‘une représentation graphique de sa structure, ainsi que la préparation et la présentation des discours par les étudiants sur la base d‘une telle structure graphique peuvent contribuer au développement des compétences nécessaires et faciliter les étapes ultérieures du processus d‘apprentissage, à savoir le travail en autonomie, la prise de notes et la réexpression du contenu.

Myths, Stereotypes and Their Currency in Translation Studies

Author(s): Adriana-Cecilia Neagu / Language(s): English Issue: 02/2009

Notre article se propose d‘analyser une série d‘idées reçues, de longue date ou plus récentes, qui concernent la pratique traduisante et qui constituent ce que, dans la perspective de la théorie critique et de la théorie de la culture, nous appelons une « philosophie transculturelle ». Nous partons de la thèse selon laquelle, dans le métadiscours de la traduction littéraire, les grands récits se sont dissous pour la plupart sous l‘impact de la révolution postructurale, tandis que, dans le milieu non littéraire, ce sont les manières stéréotypées et totalisantes de conceptualiser la traduction qui ont perduré, les interventions critiques tardant à assimiler les grands principes de la conscience moderne du langage. Un des principaux objectifs de notre étude est d‘observer la perpétuation de ces mythes dans les cultures de la traduction d‘aujourd‘hui. Nous abordons ici la traduction littéraire et non littéraire, aussi bien que celle générale et spécialisée, à partir de la perspective offerte par plusieurs textes fondamentaux de la philosophie du langage et de la traductologie.

L’intraductibilité – une fatalité ?

Author(s): Judith Moise,Liana Ștefan / Language(s): French Issue: 02/2009

There is always the possibility of a relative successful translation between two terms, two languages, two cultures, but their translation is not perfect, always leaving the hope for the better, as it opens the door for a new interpretation. A translation is only the beginning, never a promise of exhaustiveness. Therefore, our aim is to discuss the text significance, and the possibility for reaching that point where the incompatibility between languages and cultures can be overcome. The examples we have selected and analyzed prove that a translator may identify means and ways to convey the meaning of the source text, even if there is a linguistic and cultural untranslatability. There is no doubt that a text whose aesthetic function prevails contains elements which make translation more difficult, in comparison with a text with a communicative function but, eventually, there are solutions to solve this problem. And our paper is trying to make some suggestions in this respect.

La terminologie technique et scientifique entre métaphorisation et traduction : le cas des doublets en roumain

Author(s): Gabriel Marian / Language(s): French Issue: 02/2009

Scientific terms often derive from common words, and, while they may function as metaphors or analogies when transfered into other languages or to other language levels, they undergo a series of linguistic adaptations that lead to specific lexical fluctuations. French and English are the two main sources to generate the Romanian scientific vocabulary; they sometimes come to form sets of words that stand for the same concept. This is especially the case of the most recent terms, but, at the same time, some older definitions still feature two different lexical structures. This problem may be solved once the term is translated (not transcripted) into Romanian and the source-language for the terms in cause is definitely set and maintained.

Européanisation de la Roumanie ? L’interprète de conférence et l’histoire récente

Author(s): Izabella Badiu / Language(s): French Issue: 02/2009

In the following article we attempt to give an overview of the way in which the current Romanian booth has come into being. Since 1989, Romania as a country has gone through some very rapid and drastic changes which also brought about the need for high-level interpreters. The turning point was of course Romania's adhesion to the European Union in 2007. How interpreter training evolved in the last decade and whether it is bound to shift again are the issues at the core of our interrogation.

Innovative Ways of Teaching Translation

Author(s): Adina Cornea / Language(s): English Issue: 01/2008

Translation studies are a branch of linguistics that has gained a major importance in the current context of globalisation and EU enlargement. Given the market opportunities and the customer’s needs, our aim at the Applied Modern Languages Department is to teach translation from a multidisciplinary perspective. In the larger framework of translation theory, the present paper aims at describing certain new teaching methodologies and didactic aims of our translation seminars.

De quelle quantité et de quel type de théorie un traducteur a-t-il besoin? Et pourquoi?

Author(s): Bernd Stefanink / Language(s): French Issue: 01/2008

Die Überwindung kultureller Barrieren erfordert vom ÜbersetzerKreativität. Wir plädieren für eine entmystifizierte Kreativität, die als Problemlösungsverfahren („problem solving activity“ im Sinne von Guilford 1950) angesehen werden muss. An unseren Lernern durchgeführte Bedarfsanalysen haben gezeigt, dass sie oft zu guten kreativen Lösungen gelangen, diese aber dann wieder aufgeben, aus Angst den Text zu„verraten“. Auch Selbstzeugnisse professioneller Übersetzer zeugen vondieser Befürchtung. Dies weil sie nicht über die nötigen theoretischen Grundlagen verfügen, um sich gegen die Vorwürfe – auch die eigenen – des „Verrats“ zu wehren. Ihre Lösungen sind nämlich das Ergebnis assoziativer Verkettungen, die die Regeln kategoriellen Denkens sprengen. DieserAufsatz soll zeigen, dass ihr intuitives Vorgehen durch den hermeneutischen Ansatz gerechtfertigt wird, welcher seinerseits seine wissenschaftliche Grundlage in der neueren Kognitionsforschung findet. Damit wird ihnen die Möglichkeit gegeben, ihre kreativen Problemlösungen „intersubjektivnachvollziehbar“ (Stefanink 1997) zu machen. Die Kenntnis diesestheoretischen Hintergrunds und die wissenschaftliche Fundierung ihres Vorgehens soll dem Übersetzer den nötigen Mut zu seiner Kreativität geben. Dem Didaktiker soll sie Wege aufzeigen, die Kreativität zu lehren.

Invitation à la … corrida

Author(s): Renata Georgescu / Language(s): French Issue: 01/2008

Conference interpreting is one of the most challenging and demanding professions in the world today. By analogy with the elements of the equally challenging practice of bullfighting, the paper seeks to highlight the difficulties and the pitfalls attendant to the work in this field, while at the same time capturing some of its unique beauty and fascination.

Fordítási hiedelmek

Author(s): Attila Benő / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: V/2018

The article presents and analyses some widespread myths about translation. After the interpretation of language myths in general, it describes such translational myths as the following: translating means replacing words; the word is the unity of the translation; translating is finding lexical meanings defined in dictionaries; any bilingual person can translate. The author presents scientific arguments against these misleading conceptions about translation, and emphasizes the necessity of describing other translational myths rooted in ordinary thinking.

Socjologiczno-lingwistyczne zagadnienia przekładu Przepisów gry w piłkę nożną

Author(s): Michał Sobczak,Emilia Pankanin / Language(s): Polish Issue: 7/2017

The present paper deals with selected sociolinguistic aspects of translation of The Laws of the Game from English into Polish. Particular attention was drawn to the importance of football in the contemporary world from the perspective of sport sociology. The authors addressed also the language of sport and described its most distinctive characteristics. The results of the analysis suggest that the main reason for the translation of The Laws of the Game containing translation mistakes is not only the insufficient experience and background knowledge of its translators but also the pressure of time.

The Metaphor of Sound in Leslie Saunders’ Volume of Poems No Doves / Fără porumbei

Author(s): Clementina Mihailescu,Eric Gilder / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2014

The issue of translation, shortly commented upon via Quirk, Levy, Bassnett, Bell, Dubois, Chițoran and Bantaș, has been and still is a solid background for approaching poetic contributions, in our case, Saunders’ poetry translated into Romanian. For the aesthetic value of the volume entitled No Doves / Fără porumbei to be properly revealed, sound patterns as stylistic instances suggesting the dimension of space and time, these two pure forms of intuition in Kant’s philosophy, will be identified and analysed in relation with meaning via Jung's archetypes and Bachelard's aesthetics.

Levý, Jiří: Umění překladu. Tři fáze překladatelovy práce. Translatologická analýza českého a německého vydání

Author(s): Elizaveta Getta / Language(s): Czech Issue: 1/2019

This paper compares the original version of the chapter “Tři faze překladatelovy prace” from Czech Theorist Jiři Levy’s book Umění překladu, with its German translation. The original was published 1963 in Czech; in 1969 Walter Schamschula translated it into German with the cooperation of the author. Since the work has a strong relation to the Czech language and culture, a range of changes needed to be made in the German translation. The dicrepancies can be divided into two main groups: textual and lexical. The first group includes examples of translation problems typical for Czech translations that could be replaced by analagous examples in German translations. Another important part consists of omissions and additions occurring in both versions due to numerous irreplaceable examples based on Czech language and culture. There are also certain phenomena that were found too specific to be conveyed to the German readership. These specific parts have entirely different content in both languages and therefore are included as changes on the textual level. The group of lexical differences involves particular words that were crucial to understanding the main points yet could not be translated with one clear German equivalent. The contrastive analysis is supported by documents from the Archives of Masaryk University in Brno that provides essential information about the translation process.

Aktuální problematika, tendence a metody česko-maďarského uměleckého překladu

Author(s): Annamária Péntek,Elizabeth Kőrösová / Language(s): Czech Issue: 1/2019

This study deals with problematic features of Czech-Hungarian translation, focusing primarily on issues regarding translations of contemporary Hungarian literature, not only from the aesthetic point of view but from a linguistic one as well. The study examines possible methods and processes in Czech-Hungarian literary translations published from 2000, highlighting translation solutions for non-standard issues. Within translatological research, various translation solutions are examined, taking into account grammatical and lexical features of the two languages. The study includes a summary of Czech-Hungarian translation difficulties as a practical guide for novice translators. An analysis of frequent mistakes in translating from Hungarian to Czech makes up a portion of this work. The study presents a survey of the problems in translating calques, dialects, and slang. Translation solutions are demonstrated with specific examples from translations of three Hungarian novels: A kőszívű ember fiai by Mór Jókai; Feleségverseny by György Spiró; and A lány, aki nem beszélt by Krisztina Tóth.

Archivní prameny v translatologickém výzkumu – kde je hledat a jak s nimi pracovat?

Author(s): Kateřina Středová / Language(s): Czech Issue: 1/2019

With a growing tendency to examine the translations in the context of their social, cultural and historical situation, translatologists must increasingly work with historical sources. Translatologists are mostly unaware of the functioning of the archival environment in which these historical sources are stored and processed. That is why this article is conceived as a presentation of the legislative rules that the researcher must follow while working in the archive, as well as the methods used to criticize and interpret the sources.

Význam překladatelské kritiky a její vliv na českou překladatelskou estetiku

Author(s): Petr Kabelka / Language(s): Czech Issue: 1/2019

This paper presents the results of a project called Kritika překladu včera, dnes a zítra (subproject of the project Bohemistika: moderní filologie v 21. století of IGA 2018). The focus of this subproject were translation quality assessment and methods which can be employed as a basis for analysis of translated texts. The aim was to apply a new translation quality assessment model based on the model created by Lance Hewson using diverse types of translated texts. The three presented studies are concerned with the analysis of audiovisual translation (namely film subtitles), poetry translation (namely Japanese poetic form tanka) and translation of pragmatic texts (namely official documents of the European Union). All of the above-mentioned works employ the same theoretical framework which is designed not only for academic analyses but also for the use in public space, i.e. for instance in journalistic texts (reviews of translated texts etc.).

Językowy obraz świata zdehumanizowanego: na przykładzie obrazu chorych umysłowo w powieści Elfriede Jelinek Die Klavierspielerin i jej przekładzie na język polski autorstwa Ryszarda Turczyna

Author(s): Joanna Kubaszczyk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 31/2019

The article analyzes a fragment of the novel Die Klavierspielerin by Elfriede Jelinek and its translation into Polish by Ryszard Turczyn. Jelinek’s novel can be regarded as a social novel, in which the author performs not only an analysis of individual fate but also of the society, where an individual is treated as a “social product”. The analysis of the human and social condition takes place in Jelinek’s work through a language that mercilessly reveals the way the protagonists think, as well as social mechanisms. The article shows how Jelinek’s language reveals contemporary dehumanization in relation to the elderly and the mentally ill. Based on the theory of cognitive metaphors, the author analyzes textual worldview: she assumes after Lakoff and Johnson, and indirectly also after Jelinek, that linguistic metaphors are manifestations of conceptual metaphors. At the same time, the article attempts to investigate whether and how much this linguistic worldview has been reproduced in the Polish translation of the book.
