    Los De Abajo Analysis

    When a scholar or author writes, the ideas are conceived in the original language taking into consideration rhythm, colloquialisms and general culture. With translation some specific words or phrases can lost its power or cultural meaning. There is a real need regarding the translation of primary sources to share key information regardless language limitations. Nevertheless, research scholars should use the original sources in order to capture and comprehend the whole meaning of colloquialisms, context, and subtext of the whole…

    Summary of Katharina Reiss’s Article About Text Types, Translation Types and Translation Assessment

    In the Reiss’s later work, Translation assessment, she claims that linguistic translation has a long history no shorter than human history. She also suggests that it is clever to have critical thinking in translation not only now but in future since there have been always criticism of translating. Simultaneously, Reiss points out the challenges faced by todays’ translators that the areas of translation expands faster and wider than ever, which result in a enormous need of translation materials that include not only “literary texts” but also “pragmatic texts” in the translation theory research. To deal with such huge amount of translation materials, Reiss insists that it is still necessary to find out hitherto unknown cross-relationship or make overlooked associations clearer till now, which would contribute to make translation problems systematic, translation teachable and assessment of translation more objective. To achieve this, Reiss suggests…

    Differences Between Snell-Hornby And Munday

    Second, Reiss (2012) proposed that both linguistic components and non-linguistic ones should be considered. However, there is not a strict sequence of these considerations in the translating process. Instead, Snell-Hornby made a fixed order of these considerations by using levels from A to F. By doing so, it is clearer to direct translators because non-linguistic components tend to be more important to texts such as modern literature and it would be better to consider non-linguistic components first as Snell-Hornby suggested in level C. In this view, the theory of Snell-Hornby is…

    TRANSLATION OF THE DISCOURSE MARKER ACTUALLY: A CORPUS-BASED ANALYSIS

    TRANSLATION OF THE DISCOURSE MARKER ACTUALLY: A CORPUS-BASED ANALYSIS

    Lexical items such as actually, well, in fact, anyway, oh well, I mean carry little or no lexical meaning and are therefore referred to as words that are “simply salt-and-peppered through a text to give it flavor” (Lutzky, 2006:3). Their use guarantees effective and productive conversation among the speakers. Such words are defined by many scholars as discourse particles or discourse markers. Discourse markers are widely used in spoken discourse, usually in daily informal conversation. However, this research concentrates on the usage and function of these words in written discourse, as they appear in fiction. Discourse markers as a special phenomenon have been studied from various perspectives. As previous studies (see, for example, Aijmer 1986,Shiffrin 1987, Fraser 1999, Klerk 2006) have shown, discourse markers not only enhance the speech but also perform multiple functions and ensure cohesion and coherence on the part of the speaker. The item actually, for instance, as a discourse marker has been studied by many scholars from a pragmatic standpoint alongside with such markers as really, well, and in fact.…

    Vocabulary- Banking

    An increasing number of universities in Vietnam have added courses in translation to their curricula; however, the textbooks available for such courses are few. This unit has been written with these courses in mind. The unit is designed to provide the learners with some basic principles of translation which will be generally useful to translation courses in universities and colleges, to help the learners avoid some errors they may encounter when they translate a text, to provide the learners with essential English sentence patterns that could be very useful for the learners in learning and practicing translating and to provide the learners 20 assignments related to the theory they have learned. The desire of the author is to make available the principles of translation which have learned through personal experience in translation and teaching translation, and through interaction with colleagues involved in translation projects in many universities in Central Vietnam. Since it is assumed that the students will be speakers of Vietnamese language, many of these exercises involve translating from or into their mother tongue. The material is presented in a way that it can be used in a self-teaching situation or in a classroom. An attempt has been made to keep technical terms to a minimum. When technical vocabulary is used, every effort is made to clarify the meaning of such vocabulary or to provide its meaning in Vietnamese. This has been done so that the unit can be used by any student translator, even though his exposure to linguistic and translation theory has been minimal. This is an introductory unit. The lessons give an overview presenting the fundamental principles of translation and the rest of the unit illustrates these principles. The overriding principle is that translation is meaning-based rather than…
