Peter newmark
Peter Newmark was an English professor of translation studies at the University of Surrey. He made significant contributions to the field of translation studies, introducing concepts like semantic and communicative translation. Semantic translation focuses on accurately transferring meaning from the original text, while communicative translation emphasizes making the text easily understandable for the target readership. Newmark explored translation methods and procedures, distinguishing between a literal faithful approach and a freer, more adapted style. He viewed translation theory as applied knowledge rather than a science.
Peter Newmark
Peter Newmark was a British linguist known for his influential work in translation studies in the 20th century. He launched the first postgraduate diploma in technical and specialized translation in the UK. Newmark defined translation as transferring meaning from one language to another while maintaining functional relevance. He proposed two main approaches: semantic translation, which prioritizes accuracy and preserving authorial intent, and communicative translation, which aims to produce the closest natural reader experience in the target language.
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
The process of translation
This document discusses the process of translation and outlines four key levels to consider: 1) the source text level, 2) the referential level of objects/events, 3) the cohesive level of grammar/tone/presuppositions, and 4) the level of naturalness appropriate to the context. It also describes two approaches to translation - starting sentence by sentence or reading the full text first to understand tone/intent before translating, and emphasizes the importance of considering the textual, referential, cohesive, and naturalness levels for an accurate translation.

This module deals with the specific elements in a written communicative process and the different types of treatments it undergoes when translating from English into Spanish or vice versa.
Translation, Function Of The Text
The document discusses different theories of translation, focusing on Newmark's theory which is based on Buhler's functional theory of language. Buhler identified the main functions of language as the expressive, informative, and vocative functions. Newmark classified texts according to their dominant function as expressive, informative, or vocative. The translation method should focus on retaining either the author's intent (semantic translation) or the readership's response (communicative translation) depending on the text's dominant function.
Types of Translation, By Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar
The document discusses 8 types of translation: word-for-word, literal, faithful, semantic, communicative, idiomatic, adaptive, and free. For each type, it provides a brief definition of the approach. For example, word-for-word translation preserves the source language word order and translates words based on their most common meanings. Faithful translation attempts to reproduce the precise contextual meaning within target language constraints. Communicative translation renders the exact meaning in a way that is readily acceptable and comprehensible.
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.

As the topic suggests, the presentation deals with the role of a translator/ interpreter. It also signifies some of the features of good translations as well as translators.
Types of translation
The document discusses different types of translation including: literal translation, which translates text word for word; faithful translation, which attempts to reproduce the precise meaning of the original text while using target language structures; communicative and semantic translation, which focus on message and style; idiomatic translation, which conveys meaning using equivalent idioms in the target language; adaptive translation, which takes greater freedom in translating poetry and plays; free translation, which reproduces the general meaning but not necessarily the form; and instructor Dr. Shadia Banjar.
Translation strategy
The document discusses various translation strategies used by translators. It describes global translation strategies that determine how close a translation is to the original text, including word-for-word, literal, faithful, and semantic translations. It also discusses local translation strategies at the word or phrase level, such as direct strategies like literal translation and indirect strategies like equivalence translation, shifts in grammar or viewpoint, and componential analysis to describe concepts. The strategies aim to balance accurate meaning with natural language in the target text culture and language.
Types of translation
There are eight types of translation: word-for-word, literal, faithful, semantic, communicative, idiomatic, adaptive, and free. Word-for-word translation preserves source language word order and translates words by their most common meanings. Communicative translation renders the exact contextual meaning of the original in a way that is readily acceptable and comprehensible to the target readership. Adaptive translation preserves themes, characters, and plots but converts the source culture to the target culture and rewrites the text.

Translation and Language Functions
Based mainly on chapter 3 from Peter Newmark (A Textbook of Translation) about the functions of language.
Language funtions in translation
This document discusses different language functions and text types. It outlines six main functions: expressive, informative, vocative, aesthetic, phatic, and metalingual. The expressive function focuses on expressing feelings or opinions. The informative function aims to convey factual information about a topic. The vocative function addresses a readership and must be immediately comprehensible. The aesthetic function uses language to please the senses through sound and metaphor. It also defines key terms related to different language functions like onomatopoeia, alliteration, rhyme and meter.

This document discusses extra-linguistic factors that influence translation. It identifies several key factors translators and critics must consider, including the immediate context, subject matter, time, place, audience, speaker, and affective implications. Extra-linguistic determinants are a pragmatic category in translation criticism, as critics must understand how these factors shaped the original text and evaluate whether translators properly transferred their effects.
Eugine Nida
This document discusses different linguistic theories of translation, including Eugene Nida's theory that translation should focus on faithfully conveying what the author intended to say. It also discusses the variety of translation theories that have emerged due to the many perspectives translation can be viewed from, such as differences in languages, cultures, intended uses of translations, and communication circumstances. The document outlines philological, linguistic, communicative, and sociosemiotic perspectives on translation and notes there is no single full theory of translation due to it being a complex technology dependent on many disciplines.
Criticisms of Jullianne House's Model of Translation Quality Assessment
The document discusses House's model of translation criticism and "functional equivalence" approach. It makes several key points:
1) House's model aims for translations to match the original text's function, with "covert translations" being the only type that can fully achieve functional equivalence.
2) However, achieving functional equivalence is challenging due to differences in source and target language/cultures.
3) While House's model provides guidelines, preserving function alone does not guarantee equivalence, and other factors like intention, strategy, and interpretation need to be considered.
Introduction to Translation Theory
This document discusses translation theory and practice. It defines translation as conveying meaning between languages and discusses why translation is important for connecting global economies and spreading ideas. The document outlines different types of translation including free translation, literal translation, and communicative translation. It also discusses characteristics of good translations and translators, including accuracy, clarity, naturalness, passion, and translation skills. Finally, it summarizes John Dryden's three types of translation and Roman Jakobson's three forms of translation.
Types of translation
This document discusses different types of translation including semantic, literal, official/technical/administrative, and functional translation. Semantic translation aims to preserve meaning and structure in the target language through interpretation. Literal translation is a word-for-word approach that can distort meaning. Official/technical translation requires subject expertise to translate specialized texts like manuals. Functional translation conveys the general meaning without preserving cultural aspects, but still communicates the intended message. Examples are provided to illustrate each type.
Translating process
Translation has been proposed as a method for teaching and learning foreign languages by having students translate texts into the foreign language. However, critics argued that translation interferes with the natural language learning process. While controversial, translation continues to be widely used in foreign language classrooms as a technique to develop language proficiency and promote understanding of linguistic differences and similarities between languages. Translation can trigger discussions about language and culture that involve intercultural communication skills.
Theories and concepts about translation
This document discusses theories and concepts about translation in the new century. It covers translation as a human activity that enables idea exchange across languages. Translation involves aspects of philosophy, linguistics, psychology and sociology. It is viewed as both an art and a science requiring language structure knowledge and artistic skill. The possibility and challenges of translation are examined, especially between written vs oral cultures. Criteria for a good translation include conveying ideas, structure, culture and being easily understood while preserving literary subtleties. Knowledge of source language grammar and vocabulary is important.
Research in translation studies
This document outlines areas of research in translation studies, including text analysis and translation quality assessment, genre translation, multimedia translation, translation history, and the translation process. It discusses both conceptual and empirical research. Empirical research uses methodology like quantitative and qualitative methods, case studies, corpus studies, text analysis, and interviews. Research questions can be exploratory to understand what is happening, or descriptive to analyze translations and understand patterns. Hypotheses are used if researchers want to generalize findings.
Theory of translation
This document provides an overview of the theory of translation and discusses various types and levels of equivalence in translation. It covers the following key points:
- The goal of translation is to transform a text in the source language into the target language while reproducing the content, message, and implications as fully as possible.
- Equivalence in translation is variable and there are different types, including formal, partial correspondence, and situational equivalence. Equivalence can occur at the phonetic, word, phrase, sentence and text levels.
- Grammatical transformations are often needed in translation to achieve equivalence due to differences in source and target language structures. Literal translation is generally unacceptable as it can distort meaning.
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.
Translation definition
Translation is the expression of what is expressed in one language into another target language, while preserving semantic and stylistic meaning. It involves replacing the representation of a text in one source language with an equivalent representation in a second target language. Translation is rendering a written text into another language in a way that reflects the author's intended meaning. It is a process that attempts to establish equivalents between two texts expressed in different languages, where the equivalents depend on the nature of the texts, their objectives, and the relationship between the two cultures and conditions.

This document discusses translation methods for political literature and terms. It begins by introducing the topic and objectives of studying translation approaches for political texts. It then covers several key points:
1) Defining the aims and types of translation, including literary, special, and sociopolitical translations.
2) Explaining the specific features of political literature, such as use of terminology, idioms, and stylistic elements.
3) Describing the challenges of translating political terms accurately, given ambiguities and lack of direct equivalents between languages.
The document provides guidance on classifying political vocabulary to facilitate more effective translation of political documents and literature.
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.

There are 8 types of translation: word-for-word, literal, faithful, semantic, communicative, idiomatic, adaptive, and free. Word-for-word translation preserves source language word order and translates words by their most common meanings. Literal translation converts source language grammar to equivalent target language structures but translates lexical items out of context. Faithful translation attempts to reproduce the precise contextual meaning of the original within target language constraints while preserving degrees of deviation from source language norms.

The document discusses the theory and practice of translation as described in a 1969 book by Richard R. Taber and Eugene A. Nida. It outlines that translation involves understanding how a target audience will perceive a text by considering cultural presuppositions. A translator must establish priorities like contextual consistency, dynamic equivalence, orality, and expressions acceptable to the intended audience. The focus of translation is communicating the message effectively to the receptor rather than stylistic elements of the original text.
Translation Methods
This document discusses various methods of translation based on whether the emphasis is placed on the source language or the target language.

This document provides an overview of translation and interpretation. It defines key terms like translation, interpretation, source language and target language. It distinguishes between simultaneous and consecutive interpretation and describes the skills required of translators and interpreters. The document also discusses different approaches to translation like word-for-word, sentence-level and conceptual translation. It emphasizes that translation requires understanding concepts and culture in addition to language.
Topics.pptx
This document discusses different definitions and perspectives of translation. It defines translation as substituting text from one language to an equivalent text in another language. Translation is also defined as replacing a written message from one language to another while maintaining the same meaning. Additionally, translation involves studying elements of the source language text like lexicon, grammar, culture to determine meaning, then reconstructing that meaning using appropriate elements of the target language and its culture. The document also outlines various types of translations like technical, scientific, literary, and media translations. It provides an overview of the translation process including initial analysis of the text, translating in short chunks, accuracy checking, taking a break, and final polishing. Essential translator skills are also listed.
Translation methods
This document discusses different techniques for translation between languages. It identifies eight main types of translation, from word-for-word to communicative translation. Literal translation maintains the source language word order but translates individual words, while faithful translation converts grammar but aims to fully preserve meaning. Semantic and adaptive translation are more flexible while still aiming to convey the original meaning. Idiomatic and free translation focus more on the target language readership and culture.
Methods Of Translation
There are eight types of translation: word-for-word, literal, faithful, semantic, adaptive, free, idiomatic, and communicative. Word-for-word translation maintains the source language word order and translates words based on their most common meanings. Faithful translation attempts to reproduce the precise contextual meaning of the original while preserving grammatical and lexical deviations. Communicative translation renders the exact contextual meaning in a way that is readily acceptable and comprehensible to the target readership.

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.
Approaches and Limits of Translation
The document discusses two approaches to translation: the semantic approach and the communicative approach. The semantic approach attempts to render the exact meaning of the original text, making it more complex and prone to overtranslation. The communicative approach attempts to produce a similar effect on the target language readers as the original, making it smoother and clearer but risking undertranslation. Both overtranslation and undertranslation have drawbacks, with overtranslation providing excess information and undertranslation potentially lacking necessary details.
Translation in brief
Translation involves transferring meaning from a source language to a target language. During the translation process, considerations must be given to grammatical and structural differences between languages as well as cultural differences or gaps. The translated text should appear natural in the target language while maintaining coherence, connections, and faithfulness to the original without adding or omitting information. Context and level of formality are important factors in choosing accurate vocabulary.
Meeting 7 - Translation.pptx
1. The document discusses the need for translation between languages, especially from English to other languages in developing countries to spread information and knowledge.
2. It defines translation as transferring meaning from the source language to the target language while maintaining the overall meaning, even if the structure or words change.
3. The document outlines several challenges in translation including differences in language structures, culture, technical terms, and time constraints, and describes various translation methods along a spectrum from word-for-word to meaning-based approaches.
Translation methods
This document outlines eight types of translation: 1) Word-for-word translation focuses on preserving source language word order and translating words individually without context. 2) Literal translation converts source language grammar to target language equivalents while translating words individually. 3) Faithful translation attempts to reproduce the precise contextual meaning and transfers cultural words. 4) Semantic translation considers aesthetic value and allows exceptions to complete fidelity. 5) Adaptation is the freest form used for plays and poetry, converting source culture to target culture.

Peter Newmark's Sementic Translation
- 2. Peter Newmark’s Semantic Approach to Translation Syeda Fatima Tuz Zahra
- 3. Semantics • “The branch of linguistics and logic concerned with meaning.” • The two main areas are logical semantics, concerned with matters such as sense and reference and presupposition and implication, and lexical semantics, concerned with the analysis of word meanings and relations between them. • “The meaning of a word, phrase, or text.”
- 4. Semantic Translation • According to Newmark, ‘semantic translation attempts to render, as closely as the semantic and syntactic structures of the second language allow, the exact contextual meaning of the original’ (1981, p. 39). • No change of the information is possible as The translator usually tries to produce in Target Language the closest possible equivalent to Source Text.
- 5. Characteristics of Semantic Translation: • Semantic translation has a source language bias; it is literal and the loyalty is to the ST (source text) author. • It remains with the original culture and assists the reader only in its connotations if they constitute the essential message of the text. • It tends to over translate – it is more specific than the original in transferring nuances of meaning. • Semantic translation relates to the word or the word- group. (1981, p. 60).
- 6. Semantic Translation is: • Author-Centred • Related to speech • Easy reading • Semantic and Oriented • Usually more awkward, more detailed, more complex, but briefer • Informative • Attempts to preserve the author’s spirit
- 7. Non Apparent Features Include: 1. Register, 2. Phonetic, and 3. Contextual meaning • “By applying the semantic translation method, each word in the source text needs to be translated faithfully. At the same time, the grammatical structure of the source language needs to be adjusted towards the target language”.
- 8. Examples: • 1 • 2 • 3 • 4 Word to Word Translation, conveys meaning too Alternate sentences can be semantically correct but may not be used in T.L Semantic translation' is similar to Nida's formal equivalence as it focuses on the rendition of the contextual meaning of the SLT according to the syntactic and the semantic characteristics of the TLT.
- 9. Example: • For example, to translate the Arabic proverb • عليك ويوم لك يوم • One can say: “ A day for you, a day against you”. This is grammatically and semantically correct, but it is not typically used in the Target Language. • The equivalent proverb should be: “You win, you lose some”, which is totally different from the original phrase.
- 10. . .
