Construir, deconstruir y reconstruir

Autor: Gemma Andújar , Jenny Brumme

Número de Páginas: 224

¿Qué tienen en común la poesía en prosa, la novela infantil, el cómic, el monólogo teatral y las películas de ficción que presentamos en este libro? El denominador común es que los textos analizados pretenden evocar en la ficción la naturalidad, vivacidad y afectividad que se esperan encontrar en la conversación cara a cara; coinciden en la voluntad de crear en el lector o espectador la impresión de que los personajes están hablando como en un diálogo real y cotidiano. Este fenómeno de oralidad fingida, oralidad prefabricada o mímesis de la oralidad desempeña un papel clave en la traducción y encuentra soluciones que se estudian en el presente libro.

Implicación emocional y oralidad en la traducción literaria

Autor: Montserrat Cunillera , Hildegard Resinger

Número de Páginas: 229

C mo se traduce lo que dicen a viva voz los personajes de las obras literarias, y cu les son las estrategias que han utilizado los traductores de estos textos? Este libro tiene por objetivo analizar los retos de orden ling stico, estil stico, social e incluso ideol gico que plantean para la traducci n literaria los mecanismos de la oralidad fingida utilizados por autores como Petronio, Sterne, Slavici, Salinger, Pasolini, Vargas Llosa, Gary, Riera o Hastings. Se explora el entramado heterog neo de voces de los protagonistas, del narrador, e incluso del p blico ficticio, para poner de manifiesto el lugar crucial que esta heterogeneidad de voces desempe a en las construcciones narrativas e ilustrar los complejos caminos que los traductores recorren para plasmarla en una lengua diferente.

La función evocadora de la fraseología en la oralidad ficcional y su traducción

Autor: Sybille Schellheimer

Número de Páginas: 355

Las unidades fraseológicas a menudo se han asociado con el lenguaje hablado. Por un lado, confieren expresividad y subjetividad al enunciado. Por otro lado, su convencionalización, fijación y valor pragmático las convierten en unidades prefabricadas a la disposición del hablante para resolver situaciones comunicativas recurrentes. Además, la mayoría de estas unidades se relacionan con variantes no estándar de la lengua. Por lo tanto, los fraseologismos constituyen uno de los recursos mediante los cuales se puede evocar el lenguaje hablado en textos escritos. El objetivo de este trabajo es investigar este potencial evocador que tiene la fraseología en el marco de la oralidad ficcional en base a un estudio descriptivo de la novela ‘Emil und die Detektive’ de Erich Kästner y de sus traducciones al castellano y al catalán.

Lingüística Migratoria e Interpretación en los Servicios Públicos

Autor: Marta Estévez Grossi

Número de Páginas: 574

La Lingüística Migratoria y la Interpretación en los Servicios Públicos se combinan en este estudio para describir las prácticas comunicativas de la migración gallega en Alemania en la segunda mitad del siglo XX. El análisis se centra en la ciudad de Hannover, que se toma como ejemplo paradigmático de la situación de la comunidad en Alemania. Las entrevistas narrativas, basadas en Historia Oral, conforman un corpus que permite examinar las dinámicas lingüísticas de la 1.ª generación de migrantes gallegos/as que, a su llegada al país, se vio inmersa en un contexto trilingüe gallego-español-alemán. La investigación muestra las estrategias aculturativas seguidas por la comunidad y evidencia una necesidad de servicios de interpretación que efectivamente fue cubierta, si bien no por el Estado alemán.

Número de Páginas: 285

À l’ère de la migration de masse, les procédés de communication permettant l’échange entre la société d’accueil et les migrants gagnent de plus en plus d’importance. Dans ce contexte, la traduction joue un rôle clé. Cet ouvrage a pour ambition d’apporter une dimension novatrice au discours scientifique sur la traduction en milieu migratoire et d’ouvrir de nouvelles pistes de recherche dans le domaine de la traductologie. Dans une perspective interdisciplinaire, les auteurs font dialoguer des approches traductologiques, linguistiques et juridiques, enrichies parfois de réflexions philosophiques et didactiques. Des études de cas illustrent le travail des traducteurs au tribunal, à l’hôpital ou dans des centres d’accueil. D’autres travaux portent sur les tensions psychologiques et émotionnelles qu’éprouvent les interprètes en milieu social ainsi que sur leur formation.

Autor: María Teresa Sánchez Nieto

Número de Páginas: 268

The contributions in this volume illustrate some noteworthy tendencies in current Corpus-based Translation and Interpreting Studies: the reflection on the state of research on the characteristics of translated language, the extension of descriptive proposals into minority languages, the diversification of applied proposals and the growing importance of corpora for the study of interpreting. Las aportaciones de este volumen representan algunas tendencias destacables en los actuales estudios traductológicos basados en corpus: la reflexión sobre el estado de la investigación en torno a las características de la lengua traducida, la extensión de las propuestas descriptivas a lenguas minoritarias, la diversificación de las propuestas aplicadas y la creciente importancia de los corpus para el estudio de la interpretación.

Audiovisual Translation

Autor: Frederic Chaume

Número de Páginas: 229

Audiovisual Translation: Dubbing is an introductory textbook that provides a solid overview of the world of dubbing and is fundamentally interactive in approach. A companion to Audiovisual Translation: Subtitling, it follows a similar structure and is accompanied by downloadable resources. Based on first-hand experience in the field, the book combines translation practice with other related tasks – usually commissioned to dialogue writers and dubbing assistants – thus offering a complete introduction to the field of dubbing. It develops diversified skills, presents a broad picture of the industry, engages with the various controversies in the field, and challenges prevailing stereotypes. The individual chapters cover the map of dubbing in the world, the dubbing market and professional environment, text segmentation into takes or loops, lip-syncing, the challenge of emulating oral discourse, the semiotic nature of audiovisual texts, and specific audiovisual translation issues. The book further raises a number of research questions and looks at some of the unresolved challenges of this very specific form of translation. It includes graded exercises covering core skills that can...

[Re]Gained in Translation, Volume 1–2

Autor: Sabine Dievenkorn , Shaul Levin

Número de Páginas: 1016

Volume 1: Translations of the Bible take place in the midst of tension between politics, ideology and power. With the theological authority of the book as God’s Word, not focusing on the process of translating is stating the obvious. Inclinations, fluency and zeitgeist play as serious a role as translators’ person, faith and worldview, as do their vocabulary, poetics and linguistic capacity. History has seen countless retranslations of the Bible. What are the considerations according to which Biblical retranslations are being produced in current, 21st century, contexts? From retranslations of the Hebrew Bible to those of the Old and New Testaments, to mutual influences of Christian and Jewish translational traditions – the papers collected here all deal with the question of what is to be [re]gained with the production of a new translation where, at times, many a previous one has already existed. Volume 2: Times are changing, and with them, the norms and notions of correctness. Despite a wide-spread belief that the Bible, as a “sacred original,” only allows one translation, if any, new translations are constantly produced and published for all kinds of audiences and...

Advance Translation as a Means of Improving Source Questionnaire Translatability?

Autor: Brita Dorer

Número de Páginas: 554

It is widely recognised that optimum translation quality is often difficult to achieve owing to problems in the source text. For large-scale cross-cultural surveys source questionnaires need to be translated into multiple target languages in order to produce comparable data across participating countries and cultures. ‘Advance translations’ have been applied in such surveys to improve the translatability of source questionnaires. The author used a think-aloud study to test the usefulness of advance translation into French and German. The study involved experienced professional questionnaire translators and applied qualitative and quantitative analysis. The study confirmed the usefulness of advance translation, at least for the languages and source texts used.

Translation and Comprehensibility

Autor: Karin Maksymski , Silke Gutermuth , Silvia Hansen-schirra

Número de Páginas: 295

This volume collects papers presented in the panel “Translation and Comprehensibility” at the EST conference 2013 in Germersheim. In line with the conference topic “Centres and Peripheries”, the papers do not only deal with mainstream topics in translation studies, but with some research “peripheries” as well, such as advance translation or intralingual translation. All papers have in common that they relate translation research to aspects of comprehensibility addressing them from several different perspectives, such as source text defects, quality ensurance during text production, or evaluation of comprehensibility in the target text.

Song Translation: Lyrics in Contexts

Autor: Johan Franzon , Annjo K. Greenall , Sigmund Kvam , Anastasia Parianou

Número de Páginas: 498

Song Translation: Lyrics in Contexts grew out of a project dedicated to the translation of song lyrics. The book aligns itself with the tradition of descriptive translation studies. Its authors, scholars from Finland, Great Britain, Greece, Italy, Norway and Sweden, all deal with the translation of song lyrics in a great variety of different contexts, including music and performance settings, (inter)cultural perspectives, and historical backgrounds. On the one hand, the analyses demonstrate the breadth and diversity of the concept of translation itself, on the other they show how different contexts set up conditions that shape translational practices and products in different ways. The book is intended for translation studies scholars as well as for musicologists, students of language and/or music and practicing translators; in short, anybody interested in this creative and fascinating field of translational practice.

Languacultural Hybridity and Translation

Autor: Zahra Reyhani Monfared

Número de Páginas: 250

In an increasingly globalised world, the cultures of Orient and ­Occident are no longer firmly separated. This hybridity is also a part of literature—a concept which needs to be explored in Translation Studies. This study examines its evolution across language, culture, literature, and translation. It introduces a sociolinguistic approach for studying marginalized hybrid texts and their translations into English, focusing on the power dynamics that dichotomize the world into First/Third worlds. The author examines how sociological factors in central societies affect the acceptance and recognition of marginalized literary works within Western literary circles and world literature. The study analyses classical and modern Persian literature. It highlights the double-voicedness in these texts. By illustrating how hybrid elements from Rúmí’s mystical poems and Hidáyat’s surrealistic prose are re­created in their English translations, it elevates the analysis of hybrid elements to a languacultural level.

Karin Michaëlis’ Bibi books

Autor: Anna Wegener

Número de Páginas: 400

Karin Michaëlis (1872–1950) was one of the most important Danish authors of the early 20th century and achieved enormous international success with her Bibi books about the life and adventures of a free-spirited Danish girl named Bibi. The series was not particularly popular in the author’s native country, however. This book unravels the intricate reasons behind the strikingly asymmetrical reception of the Bibi series at home and abroad while at the same time deconstructing this homeabroad dichotomy by showing that the Bibi books are an example of transnational children’s literature. They did not have their “home” in Denmark in that Karin Michaëlis wrote them specifically for foreign publishers, first and foremost the German Herbert Stuffer. The book further argues that the Danish texts are rewritings rather than originals and explores some of the salient textual features of the Danish and German Bibi books. Finally, it examines the series’ reception by young Italian readers in Fascist Italy and Karin Michaëlis’ Italian translator.

Translation Competence and Language Contrast – A Multi-Method Study

Autor: Iryna Kloster

Número de Páginas: 416

Experience in translation does not always correlate with the quality of the target text. Also, the evaluations of translation work vary considerably among evaluators. Why not shifting the focus of attention from the final translation to the underlying translation process when assessing translation competence? Iryna Kloster applies a multi-method approach to model the translation competence based on empirical parameters, such as gaze behavior, dictionary use, revisions as well as subjective evaluations of comprehension and translation difficulty. Eye tracking, keystroke logging, screen recording and retrospective interviews were applied to collect data in the experimental groups consisting of novice and semi-professional translators. As a consequence, the author suggests using language contrasts for researching translation competence. She draws conclusions based on hypotheses testing, provides justification by triangulating quantitative and qualitative data and discusses the results in the light of empirical translation studies as well.

Interpreting U.S. Public Diplomacy Speeches

Autor: Erin Boggs

Número de Páginas: 154

Interpreting U.S. Public Diplomacy Speeches is an attempt to bring a methodical consideration of social context into the interpreter’s approach to analyzing discourse. In this book, speeches delivered by U.S. diplomats to foreign audiences are described using elements of Dell Hymes’ SPEAKING model. This will help interpreters to shape their interpretation of this text type and supply a flexible means of better understanding discourse in any culture. This book is intended as a resource for non-U.S. interpreters who want to know more about interpreting for U.S. government officials or other U.S. American people. It could also interest anyone curious about how cultural context can affect the work of interpreters.

Translation, Mediation and Accessibility for Linguistic Minorities

Autor: María Pilar Castillo Bernal , Marta Estévez Grossi

Número de Páginas: 387

Linguistic minorities are everywhere, and they are diverse. In this context, linguistic mediation activities – whether translation or interpreting – are key to the social inclusion of any kind of linguistic minority. In most societies autochthonous linguistic minorities coexist with foreignspeaking minorities and people with (or without) disabilities who rely linguistically or medially adapted on texts to access information. The present volume draws on this broad understanding of the concept of linguistic minorities to explore some of the newest developments in the field of translation studies and linguistics. The articles are structured around three main axes: • accessibility of content, especially audiovisual translation • intralingual translation, including initiatives regarding plain language, easy-to-read and easy language • mediation for minorities in a broader sense and language ideologies.

The Interface between Scientific and Technical Translation Studies and Cognitive Linguistics

Autor: Ralph Krüger

Número de Páginas: 482

Scientific and Technical Translation (STT) is a highly complex and knowledge-intensive field of translation and cognitive linguistics is a usage-based linguistic framework which provides powerful theoretical tools for modelling knowledge organisation and representation in discourse. This book explores the interface between scientific and technical translation studies and cognitive linguistics by discussing the epistemological, contextual, textual and cross-linguistic dimensions of scientific and technical translation from a cognitive linguistic perspective. Particular emphasis is placed on explicitation and implicitation as indicators of the interaction between text and context in STT. The corpusbased investigation of the two phenomena illustrates the complex knowledge requirements pertaining to scientific and technical translation and demonstrates the explanatory power of cognitive linguistics with regard to important textual and contextual aspects of STT.

[Re]Gained in Translation II

Autor: Sabine Dievenkorn , Shaul Levin

Número de Páginas: 555

Times are changing, and with them, the norms and notions of correct­ness. Despite a wide-spread belief that the Bible, as a “sacred original,” only allows one translation, if any, new translations are constantly produced and published for all kinds of audiences and purposes. The various paradigms marked by the theological, political, and historical correctness of the time, group, and identity and bound to certain ethics and axiomatic norms are reflected in almost every current translation project. Like its predecessor, the current volume brings together scholars working at the intersection of Translation Studies, Bible Studies, and Theology, all of which share a special point of interest concerning the status of the Scriptures as texts fundamentally based on the act of translation and its recurring character. It aims to breathe new life into Bible translation studies, unlock new perspectives and vistas of the field, and present a bigger picture of how Bible [re]translation works in society today.

The Translator's Approach

Autor: Radegundis Stolze

Número de Páginas: 303

ContentsThe book presents the hermeneutical theory of translation focusing on the translator as a person. Translation is a dynamic task to be performed on the basis of a deep understanding of the original and an adequate strategy for authentic reformulation in another language. The theoretical foundations of hermeneutics laid by Schleiermacher, and later on developed by Heidegger, Gadamer and the phenomenologist Husserl, are presented, combined with a critical discussion of current theories in Translation Studies.The theoretical presentation is complemented by a collection of twelve text examples from various genres for a description of the practical translation process in the English and the German language, when one applies the hermeneutical categories of orientation. Thus the book is not only an introduction to translational hermeneutics but may also be used as a handbook for translator training.The AuthorRadegundis Stolze (*1950), Dr. phil., M.A., Dipl.- bers., lecturer at the University of Technology Darmstadt, visiting professor, seminar-leader, academic author and accredited practical translator.

Translation and the Westernization of Eighteenth-Century Russia

Autor: Sergey Tyulenev

Número de Páginas: 271

The book considers the role of translation in the reformation of Russia along Western European lines in the eighteenth century. Translation is presented as a key social-systemic factor in the dynamics of the relationship between the system and its environment — between Russia and Western Europe. The author draws on contemporary historiography and social theory, primarily Niklas Luhmann’s social systems theory, but also concepts of other sociologists and historians, such as Gumilev, Bourdieu, Habermas, Jameson, amongst others. This allows the author to conduct a comprehensive analysis of social involvements of translation. Importantly, this case study aspires to pave the way for research of the social role of translation of universal validity.

Número de Páginas: 272

This volume is a collection of articles presented at the conference Translation Studies: Moving In - Moving On in Joensuu, Finland, December 2009. The papers deal with the question of how and under what circumstances target cultures accept or reject concepts, ideas or linguistic features that cross cultural and linguistic borders through translation. The discussions rely on varying empirical data including advertisements, audiovisual translations, encyclopedia as well as translations of literary prose, drama and history texts. As the multiplicity of the data implies, the methodologies used also vary widely from corpus-linguistic methods to analysis of paratexts, and from crosslinguistic analysis of source and target texts to contextualization of target texts in their respective target cultures. The target cultures and languages dealt with in the articles include Catalan, Chinese, Czech, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Russian and Spanish.

Achieving Consilience

Autor: Margherita Dore

Número de Páginas: 239

At Master’s level, students in Translation Studies may choose to complete their course by compiling a dissertation by commentary. Such projects involve detailed discussions of the strategies and procedures that students opt for when translating a source text of their choice (be it literary, audiovisual, or technical). However, the vast majority of these dissertations by commentary usually remain stored in university libraries. Achieving Consilience: Translation Theories and Practice brings to the fore the theoretical and practical potential of these dissertations by commentary. It demonstrates how theories in Translation Studies can be fruitfully, consciously and systematically applied during the translation practice, thus helping to transcend the received wisdom according to which theorists and practitioners share little common ground. Additionally, the contributors to this volume evince their ability to apply a research-driven approach to their analysis by comparing their work with official translations or other field-related texts. As such, this essay collection will contribute to a better understanding of the translator’s decision-making process, and will offer future...

Traducir la voz ficticia

Autor: Jenny Brumme

Número de Páginas: 305

In this study, the rendering of verbal expression in the translation of fictitious voices in literature is viewed in its entirety on the basis of original German and Spanish texts. Eight key works, including stories, novels, and plays from the last fifty years and their translations into other languages (English, French, Portuguese, Catalan, and Rumanian), have been examined in order to deduce the means of verbal expression and the chain of variation elements that evoke and simulate orality in written texts.

Translating Fictional Dialogue for Children and Young People

Autor: Martin B. Fischer , Maria Wirf Naro

Número de Páginas: 421

Literary and multimodal texts for children and young people play an important role in their acquisition of language and literacy, and they are a flourishing part of publishing and translating activities today. This book brings together twenty-one papers on the particular aspect of the translation of feigned orality. As the link between the literary and the multimodal text, fictional dialogue is the appropriate place for evoking orality, lending authenticity and credibility to the narrated plot and giving a voice to fictitious characters. This is illustrated with examples from narrative and dramatic texts as well as films, cartoons and television series, in their respective modes of mediation: translating, interpreting, dubbing and subtitling. The findings are of interest from the scholarly point of view of contrastive linguistics, for the professional practice of translating, interpreting, dubbing and subtitling and in the educational context.

Cruzando puentes

Número de Páginas: 375

Desde su emancipación de la lingüística y la literatura comparada, la traductología se ha perfilado como campo de estudio definido por su multidisciplinariedad. Trazar una panorámica exhaustiva de la traducción, teniendo en cuenta todas sus especialidades, desde la literaria a la audiovisual o la científico-técnica, es únicamente posible si se aborda desde un conjunto de disciplinas que incluyen, además de la lingüística o la literatura, áreas tan diversas como la antropología cultural, la psicología o la sociología. Este volumen presenta las principales líneas de investigación en desarrollo en torno a la traducción, como proceso y como producto. En él se recogen las aportaciones de especialistas que se aproximan a la traducción de las lenguas española y alemana desde diferentes perspectivas, diversas y al tiempo complementarias: estudios léxicos y gramaticales, fraseológicos, terminológicos, literarios y culturales.

La traducción a través de los tiempos, espacios y disciplinas

Número de Páginas: 364

La traducción ya no se considera como la simple transferencia de contenidos de una lengua a otra por medio de equivalencias léxicas, sino como un proceso constructivo, en cuyo centro actúa el sujeto del traductor. El volumen tiene el propósito de abrir, desde una perspectiva constructivista, el diálogo entre las diversas disciplinas que alimentan la traslatología (sobre todo la lingüística, la literatura, las ciencias culturales, y la didáctica). Los trabajos se apoyan en una gran variedad de géneros textuales y contextos mediáticos, y abarcan diferentes épocas de la historia del español. Para hacer justicia a la condición de la traducción como práctica, se incluyen también tres testimonios de traductores, que, desde su perspectiva personal, dan cuenta de los retos y tareas que emanan de la traducción.

Theaterdolmetschen – Phänomen, Funktionen, Perspektiven

Autor: Irina Bondas

Número de Páginas: 240

Anlässlich von Festivals, Gastspielen und internationalen Theaterkooperationen werden Inszenierungen aus dem Ausland eingeladen. Meistens stellt sich dabei die Frage nach der Sprachmittlung zwischen der fremden Sprache des Bühnengeschehens und dem einheimischen, sprachunkundigen Publikum. Neben Übertiteln hat sich in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten im deutschsprachigen Raum das Dolmetschen etabliert. Hierzu bietet das vorliegende Buch zum Theaterdolmetschen eine Einordnung in den breiten Gesamtkontext der „Translation im Theater“. Die Ausführungen basieren auf einer Fülle geeigneter Fallstudien und auf Experteninterviews mit Vertretern führender internationaler Festivals aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum. Zahlreiche Beispiele zur Illustration sowie zwei russischsprachige Gastspiele, die hinsichtlich ausgewählter Aspekte exemplarisch analysiert wurden, bieten fundierte Erkenntnisse.
