AbstractChanges in the barrier mechanisms in the eye should determine the rational route for the administration and dosage of each drug in the treatment of traumatic injuries and other pathologies.

Tämä tutkielma käsittelee verbaalisen huumorin kääntämistä sarjakuvissa ja sen aiheuttamia haasteita kääntäjille. Tutkielma keskittyy Mikki Hiiri -sanomalehtisarjakuviin, joiden alkuperäisiä, englanninkielisiä versioita ja suomenkielisiä käännöksiä vertasin. Tavoitteena oli selvittää, mitkä aineistossa esiintyvät verbaalisen huumorin muodot ovat erityisen haastavia mahdollisimman tarkan ja lähdetekstille uskollisen kääntämisen näkökulmasta, ja millaisia käännöstekniikoita suomalaiset kääntäjät näissä tilanteissa käyttivät. Laajemmassa kontekstissa tutkielman tavoitteena oli osaltaan valaista aihetta, jota on tutkittu varsin vähän sarjakuvantutkimuksen alalla. Tutkimusaineistona toimi viisi …

2021

International audience; “When” posts have now become a staple of microblogging platforms such as Twitter, Tumblr or Facebook.

In the case of the posts selected for the present study, this relationship is metaphorical: the caption and the image, which are juxtaposed without mediation, act respectively as a verbal tenor and …
