Modulation, equivalence, and adaptation are translation techniques. Modulation means using different words or phrases while maintaining the overall meaning. There are recorded and free types of modulation. Equivalence refers to words or phrases that mean the same thing across languages. There are different types of equivalence. Adaptation involves shifting aspects of one culture to express them in a different culture, like in translations of TV or movies.

Minimalist program
This document provides an overview of the Minimalist Program (MP) proposed by Chomsky in 1993. It discusses the redundant and necessary levels of representation, including Logical Form and Phonetic Form. Principles like economy of derivation and economy of representation are explained. The document also covers topics like phrase structure, movements, feature checking, and the Full Interpretation Principle in MP. The conclusion states that MP aims to minimize theoretical concepts in syntax to achieve universality of grammar.
Seminar applied linguistics
The document discusses the interactionist approach to second language acquisition (SLA). It explains that the interactionist approach focuses on how social interaction and modified input through negotiation of meaning promotes language acquisition. The interaction hypothesis posits that interactional modification makes input comprehensible, comprehensible input promotes acquisition, and therefore interactional modification promotes acquisition. The document also provides a critical review of some key aspects of the interactionist perspective, such as the role of modified input and the importance of social context in SLA.
Minimalist program
This document provides an overview of the Minimalist Program (MP) in linguistics. It discusses the following key points:
1. The MP aims to develop a simple linguistic model with minimal components and operations. It builds on principles of economy of derivation and representation from earlier theories like Government and Binding Theory.
2. Core concepts in the MP framework include morphosyntactic features, uninterpretable features, interpretable features, phases of derivation, probes and goals. Derivations proceed through numeration, spell-out at phases, and interpretation at the interfaces of phonetic form and logical form.
3. A phase is a syntactic domain like CP or VP that structures the derivation. Probes are

The document provides an overview of the history and key concepts in linguistics. It discusses:
- Structuralism and the idea that language can be analyzed into smaller units like phonemes, morphemes, and words.
- Transformational grammar and the idea that syntactic rules can transform and rearrange structures. This helped explain phenomena like discontinuous constituents.
- Modern theories like lexical functional grammar, optimality theory, and the minimalist program that continue to refine our understanding of language structure and use.
The document also defines core subfields like phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics; and discusses theoretical approaches like rationalism that view language as rooted in the mind.Language change )
Languages change for various social, political, and environmental reasons. Large-scale language changes are often driven by invasions, colonization, and migration which bring languages into contact. Language change also occurs through natural processes like how children learn language from previous generations and introduce variations. There are different types of language change including changes to sounds, vocabulary, and word meanings. Sound changes alter the phonological system over time through processes like the Great Vowel Shift in English. Vocabulary adapts with new terms for inventions and concepts being borrowed from other languages. The meanings of words can broaden or narrow in scope through semantic shifts.
MELT 104 Functional Grammar
Functional grammar analyzes language based on its communicative functions rather than formal rules. It views grammar as a set of options or choices used to construct texts and make meaning in different contexts. Functional grammar looks at various levels of language, including the clause, phrase, word class, and morpheme levels, to understand the resources used for analyzing experiences, interactions, and message construction. There are several frameworks that employ a functional approach, including systemic functional grammar, functional discourse grammar, and lexical functional grammar.
Linguistic oriented theories,behaviorism and innatism
The document summarizes three main theories of first language acquisition: behaviorism, innatism, and cognitivism. Behaviorism, proposed by Skinner, views language learning as a process of habit formation through imitation, repetition, and reinforcement. Innatism, proposed by Chomsky, posits that children are born with an innate language acquisition device and universal grammar that allows them to learn the rules of any human language. Cognitivism incorporates aspects of both by recognizing the importance of cognitive processes and environmental influences in language development.
Language Change Part 1
The document discusses different views on language change, including seeing change as decay, progress, or a neutral process. It outlines the long tradition of lamenting language change, particularly among 18th century writers who admired Latin and saw English as declining as it lost inflections. Even in the 20th century, complaints continued about declining standards of speech and the growing unintelligibility of English. The document also contrasts prescriptive approaches focused on correctness and rules with descriptive approaches that study how language is actually used.

Universal grammar
Universal Grammar Theory proposes that humans are born with innate, internal rules of grammar that facilitate language acquisition. According to Noam Chomsky, who introduced this theory, these rules are biologically determined and part of the Language Acquisition Device in the brain. The theory contrasts with empiricist views that the mind is a blank slate by proposing that humans have an innate language instinct.
3 models of morphology
There are three principal models of morphology:
1) Item and Arrangement (IA) which analyzes word forms as sequences of concatenated morphemes.
2) Item and Process (IP) which analyzes words as the result of applying rules to alter lexemes into word forms.
3) Word and Paradigm (WP) which is word-based and considers paradigms as the central concept, making generalizations about relationships between inflected word forms.
Morphology. words and lexemes
The document discusses morphological processes in English including inflectional and lexical morphology. It covers topics such as:
- Inflectional morphology deals with changes in word forms to express concepts like number, case, and tense, while lexical morphology focuses on word formation through processes like compounding, affixation, and conversion.
- In inflectional morphology, nouns inflect for number and case, verbs for tense and person/number, and adjectives have comparative and superlative forms.
- Lexical morphology examines processes like compounding, affixation, conversion and others to understand how new words are formed from existing word elements or bases.
- Productivity refers to whether a word
Generative grammar
This document provides an overview of generative grammar as established by Noam Chomsky. It discusses how generative grammar aims to describe the infinite number of well-formed sentences in a language using phrase structure rules and a lexicon. The two key components of generative grammar are the phrase structure component, which generates sentences using rules, and the lexicon, which provides lexical information. Together these components can account for language creativity, recursion, and native speaker competence or judgements about grammaticality.
2 study-of-houses-model-of-translation
The document discusses House's model of translation quality assessment and its application to analyzing a short story and its translation. House's model assesses translation quality through a systematic comparison of the original text and its translation at the levels of language, register (including field, tenor, and mode), and genre. It categorizes errors in translation as either covertly erroneous errors due to mismatches in register dimensions, or overtly erroneous errors involving denotative mismatches or target language errors. The document applies House's model to analyze a translation of John Steinbeck's short story "The Grapes of Wrath" into Persian to determine if it is a covert or overt translation as defined by House's typology.
The universal grammar approach
This document discusses Noam Chomsky's theory of Universal Grammar and its implications for first and second language acquisition. Some key points:
- Chomsky proposed that all humans are born with an innate, universal grammar that explains underlying linguistic knowledge. This helps explain why language acquisition follows similar developmental patterns across languages.
- Universal Grammar consists of principles that are universal across languages and parameters that can vary between languages. Learners need only set parameter values based on the language input.
- Evidence from first language acquisition supports the idea that children arrive at complex grammatical rules too quickly to learn from input alone, suggesting an innate linguistic system.
- Universal Grammar can account for both first and second language acquisition, as second language
Regional variation
This document discusses various linguistic concepts related to regional variation and dialects, including:
1) Regional dialects arise from variations in language associated with different places, and are an easy way to observe language variety.
2) Over time and distance, dialects can diverge and become unintelligible to one another, as seen with the evolution of Latin into the distinct languages of French, Spanish, and Italian.
3) Dialect atlases aim to map the geographical boundaries of linguistic features using lines called isoglosses, showing where different pronunciations, words, or syntactic features are used on either side.
4) Bundles of intersecting isoglosses often delineate clear dialect boundaries between regions.
What is Applied Linguistics?
This document provides an overview of applied linguistics and how knowledge of linguistics can help teachers support English learners. It defines applied linguistics as investigating and addressing language-related problems in both first and second language acquisition. The document outlines key aspects of linguistics including phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. It explains that while teachers do not need the same depth of knowledge as applied linguistics experts, they should understand language acquisition theories and how knowledge of linguistics can help them teach English, support communication skills, evaluate students appropriately considering their backgrounds, and socialize students into the school culture.

Types of language change
This document summarizes different aspects of language change, including lexical, semantic, phonological, and syntactic changes. It provides examples of how languages borrow words from other languages and coin new words through processes like compounding, derivation, clipping, blending, and acronyms. Semantic change can occur through broadening or narrowing word meanings and shifts in meaning. Phonological changes happen through processes like loss or addition of phonemes and metathesis. Syntactic changes involve modifications to word order, reanalysis of grammatical structures, and grammaticalization where words evolve into grammatical elements.
Universal grammar
Children are able to acquire language despite being exposed to incomplete and erroneous data. Chomsky's theory of Universal Grammar (UG) explains this by proposing that the human brain contains innate knowledge about language in the form of principles and parameters. According to UG, all languages share common structural properties governed by principles, but they can vary in terms of parameters like word order. UG allows for both systematicity and variation across languages during language acquisition.
What is pragmatics ppt final
Pragmatics is the study of meaning as communicated by speakers and interpreted by listeners. It considers how context, including social and cultural factors, affect meaning. A key aspect is speaker meaning - what the speaker intends to communicate through their utterance. Speech acts theory analyzes utterances as actions like statements, requests, promises. Pragmatics also examines implicature or implied meaning, presuppositions, and how context helps determine reference. It bridges semantics and real-world language use.
Discourse as dialogue
1) Dialogue precedes monologue in language development, as turn-taking and interaction are among the first communicative skills babies develop through conversations with parents.
2) There are two types of discourse: reciprocal, which allows for interaction/feedback, and non-reciprocal, such as a book. Most discourse involves some level of reciprocity.
3) Monologues are often constructed with an imagined receiver in mind, forming a kind of connection to dialogue. Sentences may be adjusted based on assessing the receiver's response.

Adaptations, also known as “Free Translations” are when the translator substitutes cultural realities or scenarios for which there is no reference in the target language.
semantic field in fairy tales
This document is a thesis submitted by Tamar Papalashvili to her supervisor Dr. Manana Garibashvili on the topic of semantic fields in fairy tales. The thesis includes an introduction outlining the goal and research questions. It then discusses semantics and semantic analysis, defines semantic fields and provides examples of hyponymy, antonymy and synonymy. The document analyzes semantic fields within fairy tales, noting their simple plots and characters. Examples of semantic fields from fairy tales are provided, such as "evil" and "the princess and the dragon". The conclusion states that semantic field theory provides useful ways for learners to deeply understand vocabulary and helps learn unknown words belonging to the same field. References are
Translatability and untranslatability
The document discusses the controversy over whether translation between languages is possible or impossible. This debate stems from differing views on the nature of language and meaning. Some ancient religions viewed language as sacred and doubted the validity of translation. Later, the view developed that true symmetry between semantic systems of different languages is not possible, making full translation unattainable. However, others argue translation is possible to some degree if meanings are expressed indirectly or certain procedures like adaptation are used to compensate for gaps between languages. The document provides several examples of linguistic and cultural elements that pose challenges for translation.
Lingua franca
The document discusses the concept of a lingua franca, which is a language used for communication between groups that do not share a native language. It provides examples such as Arabic serving as a lingua franca in the Islamic world historically and English currently serving as a global lingua franca. When languages are used as lingua francas, they often undergo simplification, reduction, and interference from other languages, which can result in the development of a pidgin language over time if it becomes stabilized and acquires native speakers. Pidgins are then subject to creolization if they are learned as a first language by children and expand in structural complexity and social uses.
Contrastive analysis
Contrastive analysis is the systematic study of two languages to identify their structural differences and similarities. It was originally used to establish language families but was later applied to second language acquisition in the 1960s. The contrastive analysis hypothesis claimed that elements similar between a learner's first and second language would be easier to acquire, while differences would be more difficult. However, empirical evidence showed this could not predict all errors, and some uniform errors occurred regardless of first language. This led to the development of error analysis and the concept of interlanguage, seeing second language acquisition as its own rule-governed linguistic system rather than an imperfect version of the target language.
Principles of parameters
The document discusses the principles and parameters framework for language acquisition proposed by Chomsky and Lasnik. It explains that universal grammar consists of a finite set of principles common to all languages and a finite set of parameters that determine variation between languages. Children acquire language by learning the parameter settings of their native language based on innate linguistic principles. The document provides examples of parameters like head directionality and the pro-drop parameter. It also discusses how phrase structure rules and lexical subcategorization frames realize principles within syntactic structure.

Upon completing the course, students will gain a general knowledge of translation principles and become familiar with applying English sentence patterns in their own translations.
Translation theory and practice
This document discusses translation theory and types of translation. It begins by defining translation as conveying meaning between languages and discusses translation studies as an interdisciplinary academic field. It then outlines several types of translation - free translation which conveys general meaning without strict form, literal translation which translates word-for-word, and communicative/dynamic translation which renders contextual meaning comprehensibly. The document also discusses criteria for quality translation including accuracy, clarity and naturalness.
Theory of translation2013
This document provides an overview of the theory of translation. It begins with some fundamentals, defining translation as interlingual communication with the goal of transforming a text in the source language into an equivalent text in the target language. It discusses types of equivalence that can be achieved, including formal, partial correspondence, and situational equivalence. It also covers levels of equivalence, such as word-building, morphological, word, phrase, sentence and text levels. The document outlines types of translation including equivalent, literal, free, and description translations. It discusses some grammatical problems in translation involving equivalence and non-equivalents between English and other languages. The document is a lecture on the theory of translation that summarizes key concepts in under
Translating_and_Interpreting..pdf or ppt
This document discusses various topics related to translation, including definitions, procedures, methods, problems, and categories of translation. It summarizes different scholars' perspectives on translation, such as Newmark, Bassnett, and Gentzler. It also outlines Nida's translating procedures, Newmark's distinction between translation methods and procedures, and various translation methods proposed by Newmark, including word-for-word translation, literal translation, faithful translation, semantic translation, adaptation translation, free translation, idiomatic translation, and communicative translation. The document also discusses full vs. partial translation and total vs. restricted translation. Finally, it briefly covers types of interpreting, interpreting skills, ethics, strategies/testing, and quality criteria.
Eugene nida Principles of Correspondence
Eugene Nida discusses several principles of translation. There are no perfect translations between languages as there is no complete correspondence. Translations can be either formal/literal or free/paraphrased. Key factors in translating include the message, author purpose, and audience. Formal equivalence focuses on form and content correspondence while dynamic equivalence focuses on equivalent impact and natural expression in the receptor language. Cultural and linguistic distance also impact translation difficulty.
Translation loss and gain
This document discusses translation loss that can occur at different linguistic levels when translating between languages. It identifies inevitable loss, which occurs due to differences between the language systems, and avertable loss, which is due to failures by the translator. Translation loss can happen at the morphological, syntactic, semantic, textual, and stylistic/rhetorical levels. Specific examples are provided like tense and aspect in English versus Arabic, conditions, cultural concepts, coordination vs subordination between the languages, and translating metaphors. The document aims to raise awareness of the various challenges in translation between languages.
Humberto monografia pdf
This document is a research proposal for translating a document about teaching inferential comprehension strategies in English L2 and their impact on Spanish L1. The proposal provides background on translation and defines it. It discusses the rationale, objectives, and significance of translating this document. The literature review covers important translation techniques like direct (word-for-word, literal, linguistic borrowing, calque) and indirect/oblique (transposition, modulation, equivalence, adaptation, reduction, omission). The methods section outlines the translation process using Vinay and Dalbernet's techniques, including understanding the text, drafting, revising, and contrasting with the original. References and a timetable are also included.
Types of corpus linguistics Parallel ,aligned...
Parallel corpora consist of original texts and their translations between two or more languages. They are aligned so that corresponding segments, such as sentences or paragraphs, can be matched between languages. This allows users to search for words or phrases in one language and see the translations in the other language. Parallel corpora can be used for contrastive linguistics to analyze similarities and differences between languages, as well as for translation studies and lexicology. Examples of parallel corpora include the English-German Translation Corpus and the English-Norwegian Parallel Corpus. Comparable corpora contain similar text types and genres in different languages or language varieties to allow for comparison. Aligned corpora explicitly link translated elements, such as sentences, phrases, or words, between

Ip in translation final
The document provides an overview of translation loss and gain. It discusses the different types of translation loss, including inevitable loss due to differences between language systems and avertable loss due to translator error. It outlines levels of loss, including morphological, syntactic, semantic, textual, and stylistic/rhetorical. Specific examples are given for each level, such as tense and aspect differences causing semantic loss or excessive coordination distorting textual cohesion. The document also notes how translation gain can occur through compensatory strategies or when a target language expression more clearly conveys the intended meaning.
Problem of Style in Translation
This document discusses problems of style in translation. It begins by defining style and its importance in translation. There are two types of style involved: the source text style and the target text style. The source text style results from the author's conscious and unconscious choices, while the target text style is influenced by the source text style, the translator's choices, and target language norms. The document then outlines various problems of style in translation, including graphology, phonology, syntax, lexical, semantic, and pragmatic problems. Specific examples are provided for each type of problem. The conclusion emphasizes that style must be preserved in translation to maintain the same interpretations and effects as the original text.
Humberto monografia
This document is a research proposal for a translation project titled "Teaching Inferential Comprehension Strategies in L2 English and Their Impact on L1 Spanish". The proposal provides background on the importance of translation and defines key concepts. It outlines the objective of faithfully translating a chapter on teaching reading comprehension strategies from Spanish to English. The proposal discusses the significance of the project for Spanish-speaking language educators and students in developing reading skills. Direct and indirect translation techniques that will be used are also reviewed from translation literature.
Kinds of translation
This document discusses various types and aspects of translation. It outlines Roman Jakobson's three types of translation: intralingual, interlingual, and intersemiotic. It also discusses literary vs non-literary translation, translation methods like metaphrase and paraphrase, and concepts like equivalence in translation. Types of translation are classified based on extent, level, ranks, and the document provides examples to illustrate different strategies and considerations for translation.
Direct and gram
The direct method of teaching foreign languages refrains from using the learner's native language and uses only the target language. It focuses on developing oral skills through techniques like questioning and demonstration without translation. In contrast, the grammar-translation method uses the learner's native language and focuses on learning grammatical rules and translating sentences between the target and native languages to develop reading skills. It pays less attention to speaking and listening. While the direct method aims to build direct associations between language and experience, the grammar-translation method's goals are to enable reading literature and develop general mental discipline through translation.
Translation studies 2nd lecture.ppt
The document discusses several key problems and challenges in translation between languages. It notes that translation involves both linguistic and cultural elements, and that finding full equivalence between words in different languages is very difficult. Some specific issues covered include differences in culture, syntax, semantics, and the translation of genres like poetry, drama, and prose. The document also discusses the concept of inevitable losses that occur during translation due to differences between language systems, as well as avoidable losses due to translator errors. Overall, it presents translation as an challenging task that requires deep understanding of multiple languages and cultural contexts.
Second language acquisition and learning ppt.pptx
This document discusses second language acquisition and learning. It distinguishes between acquisition, which is the natural development of ability through use of language, and learning, which is a more conscious process. Some of the key barriers to acquisition are discussed, such as the difference from first language acquisition and the passing of the critical period. A variety of language teaching methods are also outlined, from grammar-translation to communicative approaches, as well as concepts like input, output, interlanguage and communicative competence. The document advocates taking an interdisciplinary approach to understanding second language learning.
Second language acquisition
- Second language acquisition can occur through natural communication with others or through conscious learning. It is easier for children to acquire a second language, as there is often a "critical period" for language acquisition.
- Factors like stress, lack of motivation, and insufficient practice can create barriers to second language acquisition. Learners develop "interlanguages" that have properties of both their first and second languages. Over time, these systems may fossilize and cease developing.
- Negotiation of meaning through interactions like foreigner talk can help learners develop their second language knowledge and intake. Transfer from the first language can also influence second language production and cause errors.

The grammar translation method focuses on translating texts and studying grammar rules. It was originally used to teach Latin and Greek in the 19th-20th centuries. Under this method, students memorize vocabulary lists and grammar rules, the teacher explains rules deductively, and accuracy and memorization are emphasized. Little attention is paid to speaking or listening skills, and the goal is to read and understand literature through translation exercises. Critics argue it lacks theory and motivation for students.

Modulation,equivalence and Adaptation.pptx
- 2. Modulation: Means using a word or phrase that is different in source language and target language. Technique of shaping or regulating the words of source text. Used within same language. Exact way of saying things.
- 3. Types of modulation:: Recorded modulation: Called as Standard modulation Used in bilingual dictionaries. Free modulation: Secondary type of modulation. Practical in case of TL rejects the literal translation.
- 4. What is Equivalence? A word or a phrase that means exactly the same thing in both languages. An expression from a language which has the same meaning in the other language. Ex: English-I don’t understand. French – Je ne comprends pas.
- 5. Anton popovic- a slovak translation scientist and text theoretician classified equivalence into four types: Linguistic equivalence Paradigmatic equivalence Stylistic equivalence Textual equivalence/Syntagmatic equivalence
- 6. Eugene Nida the American linguist • Formal equivalence • Dynamic equivalence Formal equivalence: Formal equivalence focuses attention on the message itself, in both form and content. Also called “Structural equivalence” and “gloss translation”. Makes reader understand the customs, thoughts and expression.
- 7. Dynamic equivalence: • Quality of a translation occurs when prototext meaning is conveyed to the receptor language. • Similar relation between the reader or the listener and the text. • Aims to complete expression in a natural way.
- 8. Adaptation: Also called “cultural substitution” or “cultural equivalence”. Shift in culture environment. Adaptation – as a tool Known as “free translations” Where it can be seen? On TV shows or movies
- 10. Basis Modulation Equivalence Adaptation Meaning Method where translators try to maintain the naturality. A word or phrase with exact meaning. Something specific to one language culture is expressed in a different way. Usage Helps translator generate a change in the view point of message. Enables communication. Better communication goals will be achieved. Cultural difference between speakers.
