The Translation of Chinese Medical Terms into English. Linguistic Considerations on the Language of TCM

2009

The growing diffusion of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) in the Western world on the one hand, and the major role of English as the language of scientific communication and international exchange on the other, have led to the need for accuracy and standardization in the English terminology of Chinese medical concepts. The complexity of Chinese medical language, not only due to the innumerable quantity of ideograms1, but above all to their correct interpretation and to the philosophical foundations which TCM is based upon, has raised several debates among linguists, translators and physicians. One of the main issues concerns the approach to be adopted in the translation of Chinese terms i…

“I’d take a p in the gutter over Julia Roberts any time”: comparing professional and amateur translations of word play in How I met your mother

2012

Suomalaisina olemme tottuneet siihen, että suuressa osassa televisio-ohjelmistamme on tekstitykset. Jos kielitaitomme on hyvä, huomaamme kuitenkin usein virheitä tekstien käännöksissä. Huolimattomuusvirheiden lisäksi kääntäjä on saattanut käsittää jotain väärin tai hänellä on ollut muuten hankaluuksia kääntää jokin tietty repliikki. Erityisen mieleenpainuvia käännöksiä huomaa etenkin komediasarjoissa, joissa hankalasti käännettävät sanaleikit ovat suuressa osassa. Sanaleikkejä käännettäessä jokaisella kääntäjällä on omat käännösstrategiansa ja tämä vuoksi yksikään käännös ei ole täysin samanlainen. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena onkin tarkastella sanaleikkien kääntämistä kahden eri käännöks…

EU criminal justice and Italian law: investigating terminological gaps

2018

Legal translation entails a basic knowledge of the legal systems involved, familiarity with the relevant terminology and competency in the specific legal writing style of the target language. Apart from terminological lacunae and lexical gaps, the translator has to consider not only the textual conventions in the source language that are often culture-dependent and may not correspond to conventions in the target culture, but also the linguistic structures found in the source language that may have no equivalent structures in the target language. In this this regard, the EU carries this process to new heights for a number of reasons: it is a novel creation; law plays a central part in the ex…

Âzyk do Kieva dovedët: âzykovaâ kommunikaciâ v oblasti turizma

2008

The paper covers the issues related to the intercultural communication in the area of tourism. The problems of linguistic communication are considered from the point of view of the adequacy of the translation of texts or statements related to the promotion of a country, a region, a place and a tourist objects into Russian or German. Historical information included in the texts of tourist guides appears to be an important matter in this area, because in the historiography of particular linguistic and cultural areas of language, there are noticeable differences in perception and interpretation of some historical facts. A notable issue is the adeąuacy of the translation of proper names relatin…

Autor y lector en la traducción catalana del Decamerón de Boccaccio: análisis de una asimilación

2013

Resumen: Ese trabajo analiza la traduccion catalana del Decameron de 1429 centrandose en las particularidades de la narrativa, especialmente la relacion entre el autor y el lector. Sin dejar de lado aspectos propios de la traduccion en aquel momento, se enfatiza el valor de este texto, en ocasiones considerado una mera adaptacion, como una obra humanistica, un documento de la asimilacion del humanismo italiano en la Corona de Aragon. El texto catalan es una muestra de como se entendieron las ideas narrativas del autor italiano, pues muchos de los que se han considerado defectos en la obra responden a estrategias narrativas en funcion de un determinado publico y una determinada cultura. Se t…

Le graphic novel italien Peppino Impastato un giullare contro la mafia et sa traduction française

2018

Eddie Campbell dans son Graphic Novel Manifesto définit ce nouvel art «a movement rather than a form», un courant d’auteurs dont le but est d’élever la bande dessinée à des niveaux plus ambitieux, d’autant plus que l’objet de leurs œuvres dérive de l’histoire passée où récente d’un Pays. Le critique et essayiste italien Goffredo Fofi considère le graphic novel la forme expressive la plus vitale au monde aujourd’hui au même niveau que les documentaires cinématographiques. Traduire un graphic novel comporte tous les défis de la traduction d’une bande dessinée et d’un récit avec en plus, dans le cas de Peppino Impastato, la difficulté linguistique due à l’emploi de formes dialectales du sicili…

L'écart et l'entre-deux : traduire la culture

2011

Comparative linguistics seems to suggest that the gap between two languages can be filled by grammar. But mapping the structural gaps between languages hardly makes for the more fundamental gap that is created by the writing of a new text, a supposedly identical addendum to the first. Writing that new text entails questions about the nature of texts, their intentions, their interpretations. Translation must therefore develop a hermeneutical approach. This critical stance is about sorting out what belongs to the languages and what belongs to the text as a specific unit, as a cultural and authorial unit. Because of its cultural nature, translation questions the way one can carry meaning acros…
