Forms of translation
This document discusses the different forms of writing in translation, including literary translation, informative translation, technical translation, cultural translation, and vocative translation.
Literary translation focuses on translating literature while maintaining artistic quality. Informative translation aims to convey the overall message or theme of a text without focusing on word-for-word translation. Technical translation deals with non-literary texts related to technical fields and requires subject knowledge. Cultural translation focuses on cultural processes and movements between cultures rather than fixed texts. Vocative translation involves translating terms used to directly address readers or listeners.
The document provides examples and explanations of each translation form to explore how translators approach texts differently depending on their literary, informative, technical, cultural, or

Four Levels Of Translation
This document discusses translation units and the hierarchy of linguistic units that should be considered when translating from one language to another. It notes that Catford and Halliday proposed considering the sentence, clause, group, word, and morpheme as translation units from largest to smallest. Larger translation units allow for a more idiomatic translation. The document also discusses maintaining naturalness, accuracy, and deviations from language norms when necessary to reproduce the style of the original text.
Lecture 2 Differences between Writing & Speech
The document discusses the differences between writing and speech. Some key differences are: 1) Writing is usually permanent whereas speech can be corrected and changed as it is spoken. 2) Written language tends to be more complex with longer sentences and clauses, while spoken language has repetitions and interruptions. 3) Writers can use punctuation, layout and graphics while speech uses tone, volume and timing.
Doc 20190302-wa0035
This document defines and provides examples of different types of sentences:
- A sentence is a group of words that conveys a complete thought or idea through a subject and predicate. There are four main types of sentences - simple/declarative, imperative, interrogative, and exclamatory.
- Declarative sentences make statements and end with periods. Imperative sentences give commands and end with periods or exclamation points. Interrogative sentences ask questions and end with question marks. Exclamatory sentences express strong emotion and end with exclamation points.
- The document provides examples of each sentence type and a practice identifying whether sample sentences are declarative, imperative, interrogative, or exclamatory.
Levels of translating
The document discusses four levels of translation: the textual level, referential level, cohesive level, and naturalness level. The textual level involves decoding the syntactic structures of the source text and encoding them in the target text. The referential level deals with the meaning and message of the text by decoding idioms, expressions, and the pragmatic function. The cohesive level links the textual and referential levels by considering the tone, mood, and train of thought and following discourse analysis.
TRANSLATION AND INTERPRETATION
Translation and interpretation involve transferring ideas between languages. Translation is the process of representing written text in one language using the words of another. Interpretation involves orally conveying messages from one language to another. Both require competency in the source and target languages as well as understanding of different fields, styles, and cultural differences between languages to accurately transfer meaning. Qualities of good translation include being able to translate back to the original language and yield the same meaning, as well as testing comprehension through questions. Interpretation requires quick oral translation and knowledge of various topics to flexibly convey messages between speakers of different languages.
Written Task 1
Written task 1 for the Language A course requires students to write an 800-1000 word imaginative piece demonstrating their understanding of coursework, such as a letter between characters from a novel read in class. Students must also submit a 200-300 word rationale explaining their decision making process for the task and providing necessary background for understanding. The possibilities for the imaginative piece are endless so students must be careful to avoid irrelevant work.
Translation Types
The document defines and describes various types of translation including:
- Oral and written translation which can be done consecutively or simultaneously
- Computer-assisted translation which uses computer programs to aid the human translation process
- Machine translation which uses computer programs to translate without human intervention
It also discusses different types of translation based on factors like the unit, aim, tasks/objectives, and number of translators involved. Some translation types discussed include: literal, idiomatic, committee, common language, dynamic, and thought-for-thought translations.
Levels of translating, presented by dr. shadia yousef banjar
The document discusses Peter Newmark's four levels of translating:
1. The textual level involves rendering the syntactic structures of the source text into the target text.
2. The referential level deals with decoding the meaning and message of the source text and encoding it into the target language.
3. The cohesive level links the textual and referential levels by establishing cohesion and tone/mood.
4. The naturalness level focuses on constructing the target text so that it reads naturally in the target language.
The methodology of translation with special reference to sanskrit to persian
The methodology of translation with special reference to sanskrit to persianchandragupta bhartiy Bhartiyachandragupta
The document discusses various aspects of translation methodology with special reference to translating from Sanskrit to Persian. It begins by defining translation and outlining its purposes. It then describes different types of translation based on material, means used, and functional basis. It discusses computer-aided translation and machine translation. It identifies eight common translation techniques - word-for-word, literal, communicative, adaptive, free, idiomatic, semantic, and faithful translation. It also outlines linguistic and cultural problems in translation and conditions for good translation and translators. It concludes by stating there is no single translation method and free translation is useful for literature.4th material structure
This document discusses direct and indirect speech. It defines direct speech as a direct quote without changes and indirect speech as reporting what someone said without using their exact words. It provides examples of changing verbs, pronouns, and time references when converting from direct to indirect speech. The learning objectives are for students to understand reporting verbs and be able to distinguish between direct and indirect speech and complete exercises changing statements into the different forms.
Diction
Diction refers to the correct use of words when speaking or writing in a given language. Good diction means using words properly without regard to meaning. Diction comes from the Latin word for "way of speaking". When speaking or singing, it is essential to avoid vices or defects in diction, which can interfere with communication. There are about 25 vices of diction, including vulgarisms, barbarisms, cacophonic hiatus, solecism, dequeism, cacophony, monotony, amphibology, and cosism. Placement of the voice and diction are important for producing sound correctly.
English module for intermediate students
This document is an English module submitted for a university course. It contains several units on developing English speaking skills. The module aims to help students speak English more effectively and confidently through activities involving vocabulary building, pronunciation, and engaging in various communication situations. It provides guidance on constructing presentations, agreeing and disagreeing in discussions, and developing oral proficiency.
Translation Methods
This document discusses various methods of translation based on whether the emphasis is placed on the source language or the target language. It identifies word-for-word, literal, faithful, and semantic translations as focusing on the source language, while adaptation, free translation, and idiomatic translations emphasize the target language. The document states that semantic and communicative translations best fulfill the main aims of accuracy and economy. It also discusses how the type of text, such as vocative, informative, or expressive, impacts which translation method is most appropriate. Other briefly mentioned methods include service, plain prose, information, and academic translation.
Peter newmark textbook of translation
This document provides an introduction to translation principles and methodology. It discusses several key points:
- The purpose is to offer a course for students and self-learners to learn translation skills.
- Translating into one's native language allows for more natural, accurate and effective translation, though most translators work out of their native language.
- A good translator has sensitivity to language and can write their own language skillfully, more so than subject expertise. Experience improves one's writing and avoids errors.
- Many factors like author style, content, readership expectations can pull a translation in different directions, making the task complex with no single correct solution. The goal is a satisfactory translation that can always be improved
What do we translate
This document discusses translation methods and the challenges faced by translators. It describes translation as transferring meaning from the source language to the target language as closely, completely, and accurately as possible. This includes syntax, vocabulary, style, and phonology.
The document outlines several methods of translation, including literal vs. free translation, semantic vs. communicative translation, and formal equivalent vs. dynamic translation. It also discusses two main difficulties for translators - difficulties related to items/vocabulary and sentence structure/style. Specific challenges include words having different meanings depending in context and translating idioms.
Complex Explanation of Direct and Indirect Speech
This document discusses two methods for reporting speech: direct speech and indirect (or reported) speech. Direct speech uses quotation marks to report a speaker's exact words, while indirect speech does not use quotation marks and reports the gist of what was said without using the exact words. The document provides examples of how to punctuate direct speech correctly and advises writers to primarily use indirect speech in their writing for clarity and to avoid slowing down the pace, only occasionally employing direct speech for emphasis.
Direct and indirect speech (2)
This document discusses two methods for reporting speech: direct speech and indirect (or reported) speech. Direct speech uses quotation marks to report a speaker's exact words, while indirect speech reports the general idea without quotation marks and can involve changing pronouns and verb tenses. The document provides guidelines for punctuating direct speech and discusses when each speech method is most effective in writing.
My Third COT
The document is a lesson plan for English 7 students at Eastern Potia National High School. The lesson plan focuses on using direct and reported speech appropriately. It includes 7 learning tasks to help students understand the differences between direct and reported speech and how to properly change direct speech to reported speech. The tasks involve analyzing speech bubbles, converting direct quotes to reported speech, and applying the skills to a news article about illegal gambling.
Translation vs. Interpretation
This document provides an introduction to translation and interpretation. It defines key terms like translation, interpretation, source language and target language. It distinguishes between translation and interpretation, noting that translation involves written text while interpretation can be simultaneous or consecutive. It also outlines some of the necessary skills, fields of specialization, challenges and rewards of working as a translator or interpreter. The document concludes by discussing requirements for training and contact information for further information.
Direct and indirect speech
There are two ways to report speech: direct speech uses the speaker's exact words within quotation marks, while indirect speech reports the meaning without exact words by potentially changing pronouns and verb tenses. Direct speech can show a character and add variety but long speeches can bore readers. Indirect speech allows for brevity to maintain pace and contrast between spoken words and internal thoughts. Writers should use indirect speech mainly and reserve direct speech for emphasizing characters' key points.
Substitution and Ellipsis
This document discusses different types of substitution and ellipsis that can be used in English grammar. It explains how pronouns like one, demonstratives, and quantifiers can substitute for nouns. It also discusses substituting verbs with forms of "do" and using "so", "it", or "that" to replace verb phrases. The document provides examples of substituting clauses with verbs like "expect", "think", and omitting words like nouns, verbs, and infinitives to avoid repetition.
Architecture warm up
The document lists famous landmarks ordered from earliest to latest construction date, with the Colosseum built around AD 80 being the oldest, followed by the Taj Mahal in 1648, the Eiffel Tower in 1889, Tower Bridge in London in 1894, the Empire State Building in 1931, and the Sydney Opera House completed most recently in 1973.

Opinion essays
Opinion essays require a clearly stated opinion on a topic supported by reasons. They should include an introduction stating the topic and opinion, multiple body paragraphs presenting supporting viewpoints and reasons as well as opposing viewpoints, and a conclusion restating the opinion. Writers must decide their stance, develop paragraphs with topic sentences, and use linking words and introduction/conclusion techniques.
For and against_essay
For and against essays discuss the advantages and disadvantages of a topic in a balanced manner. They are structured with an introduction paragraph presenting the topic without opinion, followed by main body paragraphs on arguments for and against with justifications and examples. The conclusion paragraph includes the author's opinion or balanced summary. Opinion words are only used in the conclusion, and a formal style without strong language is generally used. Each main body paragraph begins with a topic sentence introducing the argument, followed by supporting sentences with justifications and linking words. Effective openings and closings can address the reader, include a quotation, or pose a rhetorical question.
