Arnold Bennett, Giovanni Verga, David Herbert Lawrence. Transitional realism, translation and dialect

2012

This work investigates the relationship between translation, tran- sition and realism in connection with the development of di- alectal forms, the concept of city and travel images in late-nine- teenth-century literary production in Europe, with particular em- phasis on French, English and Italian realist literature. The process of transiting, which entails a mechanism of transformation resulting in innovation and change, is common in translation, realist literature, travel, and dialect as a linguistic break with stan- dard language. If translation is a system of transferring meaning from one set of language signs into another set of language signs, realism in literature is par excellence t…

Päivitettyä perinnettä : saamelaisen nykyrunouden saamelaiskuvastoja

2017

This doctoral dissertation investigates the imagery of Sáminess in contemporary Sámi poetry. The research material of the study consists of poetry collections published in North Sámi and Norwegian by eight Sámi authors: Inger-Mari Aikio (previously Aikio-Arianaick), Inga Ravna Eira, Rawdna Carita Eira, Irene Larsen, Rauni Magga Lukkari, Hege Siri, Nils- Aslak Valkeapää, and Ellen Marie Vars. The emphasis is on poetry published at the turn of the 2010s. The study examines how Sáminess has been depicted and constructed in poetry from the 1980s onwards. The four original research articles ask how images traditionally connected to Sáminess and indigenousness are used in contemporary poems and h…

Web 2.0 under the light of free software

2009

The development of Web 2.0 has favoured a closer relation between Internet users and the different web applications that facilitate creating, sharing and structuring digital information in a horizontal and collaborative way through so-called social software. Social software includes tools that are familiar to us all, such as chats, forums, blogs, wikis, syndication standards (RSS type), social tagging, multimedia file sharing, social networking, etc. They are tools oriented to give the user a greater capacity of interaction, and a stronger control over the content and the format in which they can be presented.

Comparing the Effect of Product-Based Metrics on the Translation Process

2021

Characteristics of the translation product are often used in translation process research as predictors for cognitive load, and by extension translation difficulty. In the last decade, user-activity information such as eye-tracking data has been increasingly employed as an experimental tool for that purpose. In this paper, we take a similar approach. We look for significant effects that different predictors may have on three different eye-tracking measures: First Fixation Duration (duration of first fixation on a token), Eye-Key Span (duration between first fixation on a token and the first keystroke contributing to its translation), and Total Reading Time on source tokens (sum of fixations…
