The papers compiled in the present volume reflect the key theme of the most recent Duo Colloquium sessions – contextuality. The psychological notion of context has been central to translation research for decades, and it has evolved along with the development of translational thought, translation types and tools. The theme of contextuality can be understood at any level, from the geopolitical to the textual, and embraced by both academic and professional considerations of translational and interpreting phenomena. It is centred on context, contexts and/or decontextualisation in translation and interpreting theory and practice from a variety of disciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspectives. Discussing the above-mentioned notions is the subject of the present volume.

TRANSLATA III ist die dritte einer Reihe von Konferenzen zur translationswissenschaftlichen Grundlagenforschung. Die Tagungen finden alle drei Jahre in Innsbruck statt und sind als Austauschforum der Disziplin ‚Translationswissenschaft‘ konzipiert. Neben den drei Plenarvorträgen enthält der Band ausgewählte Beiträge aus den folgenden Sektionen: Translationstheorie und Translationsprozessforschung, Translationskompetenz und Translationsdidaktik, Fachübersetzen und Terminologie, Übersetzung literarischer und audiovisueller Texte, Translationsmarkt und Translationspraxis – neue Entwicklungen und Konsequenzen für die Ausbildung. TRANSLATA III is the third in a series of triennial conferences on Translation and Interpreting Studies, held at the University of Innsbruck. The series is conceptualized as a forum for Translation Studies research. Besides the plenary lectures, this volume includes selected papers from the following conference sections: translation theory & translation process research, translator competence & translator training, specialised translation & terminology, audiovisual and literary translation, translation market & translation practice – new developments and implications for translator training.

Translation is rooted in diversity and its nature necessarily resides in accommodating differences of all sorts: lexical, textual, macrotextual, intertextual, individual, social, cultural, political, et cetera. This collection of papers, which deals with literature, poetry, hospital situations, minority languages, proverbs and so on, gives a good picture of how differences are accommodated in translation across languages but also across cultures. They form a good starting point for comparison between translation practices and translation approaches. They reveal how Indian and Western scholars perceive translation.

El volumen recoge trabajos que son el fruto de los resultados de investigación de los años cruciales de la pandemia por COVID-19, desde la traducción automática neuronal, la traducción biosanitaria o la medicina gráfica y la traducción, hasta otros ámbitos de la traducción y la interpretación en contextos especializados: didáctica de la traducción, traducción y terrorismo, traducción literaria, historia de la traducción, traducción en el ámbito agroalimentario, audiodescripción y subtitulación para sordos, etc. Todas las contribuciones aquí presentadas suponen una panorámica actual de la traducción y la interpretación, como el título del volumen indica, en tiempos de pandemia.

La traduction de la littérature de migration représente un défi particulier pour les traducteurs, car ils doivent jouer le rôle de véritables médiateurs culturels. Ils font face non seulement aux idiosyncrasies de la langue utilisée par les auteurs, mais aussi à un mode de pensée et une perception de valeurs spécifiques à leur culture d'origine. L'ouvrage est structuré en trois parties correspondant à des aires géographiques et culturelles couvertes par les différentes œuvres analysées. Tandis que la première partie est consacrée aux perspectives européennes, les contributions de la deuxième partie mettent l'accent sur des contextes africains et américains. Les analyses réunies dans la troisième partie se focalisent sur des traductions situées entre l'orient et l'occident.

El ámbito de los videojuegos no deja de crecer a diario y, con él, surgen nuevas oportunidades laborales para diversos entornos profesionales. Entre ellos, destaca especialmente un campo de nueva especialización que suele pasar desapercibido, como es el de la interpretación en el ámbito de los videojuegos (IAVJ), la cual tiene un calado cada vez mayor dentro de la industria. En este estudio se repasan todos los contextos en los que es necesaria la IAVJ, así como también se analizan algunos ejemplos de trabajos en este ámbito y se plantean una serie de recomendaciones de cara a una adecuada formación y a un correcto desempeño de la práctica profesional.

Este es el primer libro de una serie que formará parte de las publicaciones impulsadas por el Título Propio de Especialista en Traducción para la Industria del Videojuego (ETIV) de la Universidade de Vigo. Este volumen recoge doce capítulos realizados por dieciocho autores y autoras, especialistas en traducción e interpretación, arquitectura, diseño, sociología y lingüística. Las diferentes contribuciones son el resultado de estudios empíricos y teóricos basados en la (para)traducción que nos remiten al campo sociológico, tecnológico y de entretenimiento, así como al texto y a los paratextos.

TRADUCCIÓN & PARATRADUCCIÓN (T&P) es el título de la nueva serie de volúmenes que lleva el mismo nombre que el Grupo de Investigación TI4 de la Universidade de Vigo que creó el término traductológico de paratraducción.

This book intends to present the challenges and new perspectives in the field oftranslation studies in parallel with the improvements in the academic and scientificworld with a specific focus on the themes of translation studies, ecocriticism,subtitling, retranslation, feminist and queer translation, descriptive translationstudies, text mining, multimodality in translation, and legal translation. Whilepresenting such wide-ranging research and analyses from various points of view ofoutstanding scholars in Turkey, our greatest wish is to build a common ground onwhich to build discussions in order to contribute to the ongoing studies in the field.

Le thème de globalisation communicationnelle continue d'inspirer. Nous nous proposons à la lumière des événements géopolitiques, sociolinguistiques, géolinguistiques récents de revenir sur ce sujet qui est devenu plus que jamais actuel et surtout va dans une direction qui nous surprend, nous interpelle, nous fait réfléchir. Cet ouvrage fait part de ces échanges et réflexions. Pour décrire ce réel de globalisation, pour constater si l'anglais lingua franca est l'instrument d'unification, quelle est l'importance accordée à l'aspect purement pragmatique de la langue face à ses subtilités sémantiques ; stylistiques et discursives, quels sont les enjeux linguistiques, quels sont les nouveaux défis de la traduction et de la didactique des langues étrangères? Dans cette perspective, la globalisation est un phénomène complexe qui appelle une étude pluridimensionnelle, pluridisciplinaire ; interdisciplinaire et transdisciplinaire.

Biomedical translation is a complex activity that goes far beyond finding equivalent terms in another language. Communication and safety problems may occur in scenarios such as the following: (i) if translators are unaware of the conceptual, lexical, and pragmatic complexities of medical translation; (ii) if they do not possess advanced translation competence; or (iii) if they are not familiar with standards and workflows of the sector, or with documentation techniques. They should also be aware of the terminological and technological tools commonly used in the healthcare industry. This book provides viable solutions for English-Spanish medical translators who face such problems. It also integrates widely accepted theoretical paradigms and presents the most up-to-date resources and tools.

Modern Approaches to Translation and Translation Studies serves as a collection of research describing the development of the discipline and its journey that has not been completed. The book deals with the latest developments within Translation Studies from the perspective of Turkish translation scholars. It consists of thirteen chapters with the participation of fourteen different authors working at universities in Turkey as academicians or having pursued or still pursuing their PhD within Translation Studies. The book contains topics such as translation technologies, meta-cognitive approaches in translation, eco-translatology, translators'employability, approaches in literary translation, feminist translation, intra- and inter-lingual translation, legal translation, multimodality, translatability/ untranslatability, and translation education.

The book aims to present a comprehensive palette of new approaches and diverse topics in the field of Translation Studies, and specifically discuss various issues correlated with the notion and elements of national identity and their translation. The collection of seventeen selected chapters is intended for researchers, scholars, academics, professional translators and other specialists in the field who direct their attention and practice towards some popular and niche research areas and scientific interests.

This book offers a wide selection of carefully selected studies examining some of the most compelling issues, which have been explored in the area of literary translation. The contributions were authored by an international group of scholars who focused on the recent developments in the field, encompassing the complex aspects of cultural transfer; translation of stylistic devices; and the importance of convention and ideology. However, the most distinctive feature of this book is that it offers a multifaceted view of the condition of the contemporary national identities and its linguistic transfer from different perspectives within various source language/target language pairs.

Essays collected in this book discuss textual and discursive formulations of dominance and resistance. The authors analyze how they are narrated and re-narrated, framed and reframed in different social, political and language communities and realities, through different media and means, and translated into different contexts and languages. As the ways we name, rename, or label events, people and places have implications in the real world, the essays are also meant to investigate the ways in which we partake in negotiating its construction, its changing meanings and senses through the stories we tell and the practices we live by.

Like many other human activities, translation is related to different forms of power. It can be the ability to control and set the rules. With written translations of significant works of culture, it has often been the powerholders who supported and promoted or impeded them, depending on their own preferences or their understanding of the actual sociopolitical needs. The powerholders in question are individual or collective decision-makers at various levels of the sociopolitical hierarchy who determine policies and allocate funds for approved projects. This book focuses on the possiblities of various approches to translation and power as a research topic within Translation Studies.

This collective volume, with contributions from renowned authors, aims to analyse crucial issues in the field of community interpreting at the present time.

Los trabajos que contiene el volumen son fruto de trabajos recientes en el ámbito académico, profesional y en el seno de proyectos de investigación.

This book explores the covert and overt creative potential　of misunderstanding. Viewed from the authors'perspective, misunderstanding proves an elementary and unavoidable aspect of linguistic and cultural communication that can have a surprisingly beneficial impact on social relations and concomitantly stimulate the emergence of new cultural forms. As the authors of the book prove, cross-cultural contact is definitely a dynamic and asymmetric process rather than a static and symmetric transfer of values from one culture to another.

The objective of this book is to continue the reflection on the innovative potential of misunderstanding in　cross-cultural encounters　which we started by publishing the first part of the book (Understanding Misunderstanding. Vol. 1: Cross-Cultural Translation, Peter Lang 2019). The main purpose of these two corresponding volumes is to embrace not only the cross-cultural adaptation of texts, ideas and discourses in distant geo-historical contexts, but also the culturally-based mechanisms of creatively transforming and re-shaping the source-text in target environments. The notions of misunderstanding and semantic transformation are seen as crucial in this process, yet still not widely acknowledged.

Das vorliegende Buch umfasst zehn Beiträge aus dem Bereich der Fachsprachenforschung. Der erste Teil leistet einen Beitrag zur Diskussion über Entwicklungstrends in der modernen Fachsprachdidaktik einschließlich der Methoden und Techniken des Fachsprachenunterrichts, der Motivation der Lernenden, des Einsatzes moderner Technologien beim Erlernen von Fachsprachen und des Aufbaus einer engeren Zusammenarbeit mit einem authentischen beruflichen Umfeld. Der zweite Teil widmet sich der Übersetzung in einem spezialisierten Kontext, der Analyse des Fachdiskurses und der schriftlichen und mündlichen Fachkommunikation. Die Beiträge stammen von Wissenschaftlern aus acht Ländern und geben einen aktuellen Einblick in ein wichtiges linguistisches Forschungsfeld. The book consists of ten chapters on research into specialized language. The first part is a contribution to the current discussion on trends in today's LSP (Language for Specific Purposes) teaching, with a special focus on teaching methods and techniques, student motivation, the use of the latest technology in LSP and working more closely with the actual professionals in the field for the benefit of the students. The second part focuses on specialized translation, discourse analysis in LSP and written and spoken professional communication. With authors from a number of countries worldwide, the book offers a unique approach to the field of LSP studies.

El contacto de lenguas es un factor determinante del cambio lingüístico que contribuye a la adopción y aclimatación de diversas tradiciones discursivas. La traducción, fenómeno en el que se manifiesta dicho contacto, ha desempeñado y sigue desempeñando un papel fundamental en la evolución de las lenguas y en su perfil variacional. En este volumen, el lector encontrará una selección de trabajos que abordan el fenómeno de la variación lingüística en diferentes épocas del español. Todos ellos contribuyen a reivindicar el valor de los textos traducidos como objeto de estudio filológico en el que se ven implicados perspectivas de análisis, métodos y campos disciplinares diferentes pero necesariamente vinculados en la investigación traductológica, como la crítica textual, la literatura, la morfología y la sintaxis históricas, la teoría de la traducción y el análisis del discurso.

El presente volumen recopila un total de 32 trabajos pioneros y representativos de las nuevas tendencias en Traducción e Interpretación de tres ámbitos tan diversos como son la fraseología, la interpretación y la traducción audiovisual, así como la didáctica de dichas disciplinas. Con él pretendemos contribuir a aumentar el horizonte investigador de estas materias, ampliándolo a lenguas menos tratadas, como el ruso o el árabe, o incluso minoritarias, como el rumano o el catalán, y llevándolo incluso a variantes de la lengua francesa como sería la antillana. El volumen nace asimismo con la vocación de contribuir a ensanchar el perfil didáctico de estas disciplinas, emergentes en el ámbito de la Traducción y la Interpretación.

Los Estudios de Traducción basados en corpus han avanzado a pasos agigantados desde la última década del siglo XX. Así, este libro ofrece una selección de contribuciones que recogen las últimas novedades en torno a los Estudios de Traducción e Interpretación, así como en el aprendizaje de segundas lenguas, basados en corpus. Las contribuciones abarcan esferas tan diversas como la enseñanza-aprendizaje de la traducción y de la interpretación, la práctica traductora y de la interpretación o el uso de herramientas de traducción asistida por ordenador, todo ello a través del uso de corpus, y aplicado a lenguas tan diversas como el inglés, el español, el alemán, el italiano, el francés o el catalán.

The book focuses on the phenomenon of archaization in literary translation. It analyzes the concept of archaism, pointing to its strongly evaluative aspect and highlighting the difficulties connected with supplying its clear and acceptable definition. Archaism and archaization are strongly rooted in nostalgia, understood as the human yearning for stability and harmony. Far from being an idle embellishment or an empty postmodernist game, archaization emerges as a vehicle for powerful emotions embedded in dominant discourses fostered by educated European elites. Archaism, like nostalgia, eclectically and arbitrarily recreates the past, in accordance with dominant political and cultural agendas. Both phenomena idealize the past, forcibly purifying it from all unwanted elements.

This book explores a range of topics situated in the overlapping areas of theoretical linguistics, applied linguistics and translation studies. The first part of the book comprises five original contributions on topics ranging from general linguistics to applied linguistics while the second part comprises eleven original contributions exploring selected aspects of theoretical, descriptive and applied translation studies. This book also initiates the publishing activity of the Department of Translation Studies, established at the Institute of English Studies, University of Wrocław, Poland.

Court interpreting understood as services provided for court stakeholders and court's private clients is a subdiscipline which has emerged as an area of investigation within Interpreting Studies. Although the research in court interpreting has been enjoying prominence at an international level, there are still aspects of the profession which need further analysis. This book is aimed at presenting qualitative research into court interpreting in Poland, and in particular, where the Polish-English and (to a lesser extent) Polish-Spanish language pairs are involved. The study pertains to the descriptive research into court interpreting where the interpreter is perceived as an active participant in the interaction obliged to satisfy the principles of professional ethics.

Mit diesem Buch zu Problemen der Operettenübersetzung untersucht die Autorin ein Thema, das in der Wissenschaft nur vereinzelt behandelt wurde. Denn obwohl der Sprachmittler aktiv an der Erschaffung einer zielsprachigen Inszenierung beteiligt ist, wird sein Wirken im Theaterkontext oftmals marginalisiert oder gar ignoriert. Ziel der Autorin ist es, einen ersten Einblick in das Feld der Operettenübersetzung zu geben. Dazu zeigt sie Probleme wie Sangbarkeit, Sprechbarkeit und Aufführbarkeit auf und arbeitet mittels Erkenntnissen aus anderen wissenschaftlichen Bereichen Lösungsansätze heraus.

This book provides a comprehensive view of intercultural specifics resulting from the translation and reception process of precedent phenomena (precedent names, texts, statements, situations) in different linguistic and socio-cultural spaces – Russian, Slovak and German. The author analyses language and translation itself as a phenomenon of culture in form of interdisciplinary research and thus links translation studies with philosophy, literary science, culture, and intercultural psychology. His comparative research provides a detailed analysis of precedent phenomena in the work Moscow to the End of the Line by V. Erofeev (Russian-Slovak-German comparative aspect). His conclusions and commentaries enrich the sphere of translation and reception of intercultural units.

Das Buch erläutert die Ästhetik des Literaturübersetzens, wie sie seit dem 18. Jahrhundert praktiziert wird. Sie beruht auf den Prinzipien der Subjektivität, Linearität und Oralität, die in Novalis'Begriff der «schriftlichen Stimme» konvergieren. Der Weg zur lebendigen rhetorischen Schriftlichkeit des Übersetzens beginnt bei Leonardo Bruni und führt über Luthers Bibel zur performativen Übersetzung Herders, die von A. W. Schlegel bis in die Gegenwart das Gutenberg-Zeitalter prägt. Am Beispiel der Dialektübersetzung wird auch die elastische Grenze der (Un)Übersetzbarkeit untersucht. Der zweite Teil behandelt exemplarisch die Übersetzung von Drama, Narrativik und Lyrik. Der dritte Teil feiert das narzisstische Vergnügen, das mit der Kunstform des literarischen Übersetzens einhergeht.

The academic discipline of translation studies is only half a century old and even younger in the field of bilateral translation between Japanese and Turkish. This book is the second volume of the world's first academic book on Turkish↔Japanese translation. While this volume gathered discussions on translation studies with theoric and applied aspects, literature, linguistics, and philosophy, the second volume deals with the history of translation, philosophy, culture education, language education, and law. It also covers the translation of historical materials and divan poetry. These books will be the first steps to discuss and develop various aspects of the field. Such compilation brings together experienced and young Turkology and Japanology scholars as well as academics linked to translation studies and translation, and also translators. Both volumes contain 24 essays written by twenty-two writers from Japan, Turkey, USA and China.

The aim of this monograph is to present the traces of intercultural encounters between Poland and Latin America realized by means of literary translations produced in the post-war period. It considers various aspects of the reception of Polish translations of Spanish American prose in 1945-2005 by examining their presence on the book market in the communist times and after 1990 in free market conditions. The analyses of critical texts show the attitudes of Polish critics towards this prose over the years. Survey research presents motives, behaviours and needs developed in different epochs by Polish readers. The interdisciplinary character of the monograph involves methodology inspired by translation, reception and cultural studies, sociology of literature and intercultural semantics.

The volume proposes a comprehensive collection of carefully selected studies investigating some of the most intriguing problems explored in the field of literary translation. The contributions authored by an international group of scholars and professional translators focus on the newest developments in the field including the complex problems arising from intercultural translation; translation of stylistic devices, adjustment to literary and linguistic conventions, ideological aspects influencing translation; the use of footnotes and the future perspectives of translation studies.

This book is directed at lexicographers and professionals in Translation Studies and English Language Teaching. Chapters by translation scholars alternate with chapters by teachers of English; within them, sections on the contents of the works discussed alternate with sections on their use and/or usability. Each of the chapters offers a glimpse of interesting research possibilities that practice raises, the issues we need to investigate and explain, as well as how to turn some of this research into practical action. The book proves that dictionaries continue to play an important part in our daily and academic lives, though it is not always clear how they should fit into the overall pattern of curriculum design, teaching materials or learning styles.

L'interculturel étant constitutif du culturel, et la traduction fonctionnant comme un outil de médiation entre les cultures, il semble indispensable d'étudier les liens entre l'un et l'autre. La figure qui est au cœur des études traductologiques est celle de l'Autre, et le traducteur doit trouver le juste équilibre entre identité et altérité, mais aussi entre dénotation et connotation(s), entre explicite et implicite, entre littérature et culture. Pour mener à bien cette « négociation » (Umberto Eco), il lui faut tenir compte d'éléments aussi variés que le différentiel cognitif entre les lecteurs de l'original et ceux de la traduction, la variabilité des connotations culturelles de certains termes et les éthé discursifs mobilisés dans le texte à traduire.

La terminologia specialistica riveste un ruolo centrale nell'attività di interpretazione, sia simultanea che consecutiva, e nella preparazione che la precede. Ciò vale sia nel caso in cui sia prevista una resa dalla lingua nativa (lingua A) alla lingua straniera (lingua B), sia quando si deve interpretare dalla lingua B alla lingua A. La preparazione terminologica risulta però particolarmente importante nella direzione linguistica A–B, poiché si verifica spesso il caso in cui non è un termine in quanto tale a creare difficoltà traduttive, bensì il contesto in cui compare. L'autrice si propone dunque di elaborare un modello di preparazione basato su un approccio sintagmatico e un'analisi contrastiva, che consentono di analizzare i termini inseriti in un determinato contesto d'uso.

In dieser Monografie werden ausgewählte Kulturtexte des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts unter Anlehnung an die Interpretationskategorien Fremdheit, Gedächtnis und Translation gelesen. Um das Deutungspotential dieser drei Leitbegriffe einer kulturorientierten Literaturwissenschaft zu entfalten, werden sie einer metaphorischen Extension unterzogen und in diversen Konfigurationen zusammengeführt. Der so entwickelte Analyserahmen erlaubt es aufzuzeigen, wie sich die Werke von so unterschiedlichen Autoren wie Thomas Mann, Bruno Schulz, W.G. Sebald und J.S. Foer sowie ihre interlingualen, intersemiotischen und sonstigen Translationen gegenseitig beleuchten. In den Blickwinkel rücken dabei Wechselbeziehungen zwischen kulturwissenschaftlichen Diskursen wie die Übersetzungs- und die Gedächtnisforschung.

This book presents a wide range of topics and approaches in the nowadays Translation Studies, which includes popular, trendy issues as well as niche subjects that are rarely taken up in research. The chapters can be grouped into four thematic divisions that capture some major interests of translation scholars. They discuss the nature of the discipline as such and its dimensions, its development and tendencies in some countries, the process of translation from the perspective of translation practice as well as culture-specific elements in translation.

Dieses Buch gibt einen Überblick über die Rolle des Deutschen als plurizentrische Sprache am Beispiel der österreichischen Varietät des Deutschen. Dabei werden Aspekte wie Diminutive, der historisch-kulturelle Hintergrund oder die Zensur der österreichischen Literatur (Austriazismenwegfall) angeführt sowie weitere Funktionen der österreichischen Varietät herausgearbeitet. Nach einer Analyse von Wörterbüchern wird auf die nötigen Konsequenzen für die Sprachdidaktik (plurizentrische Lehrbücher) und Translatorik (plurizentrisch geschulte Übersetzer) eingegangen. Eventuelle Kontroversen in der Auffassung, ob und inwieweit das Deutsche eine plurizentrische Sprache sei, werden schlussendlich durch die Theorie der anthropozentrischen Linguistik ausgeräumt.

This book bridges the gap between phonological and Interpreting Studies. It first presents interdisciplinary studies on interpreters and interpreting receivers. The subsequent chapters discuss phonology, phonological transfer and bilingual processing. The author also touches upon expertise and quality in interpreting, including phonological development. The final chapter presents a study on prosodic transfer in interpreting. Put succinctly, this book is about the role and importance of phonology and phonological processes in studying, practising and working on one's interpreting.

El volumen incluye contribuciones sobre los aspectos ideológicos de la traducción. Sus contribuciones abarcan una temática muy amplia que va de la selección de textos a traducir, las reescrituras y (nuevas) lecturas de textos antiguos; hasta la recepción de textos canónicos y periféricos en las culturas meta. Los autores entrelazan traducción e ideología en tanto prácticas multívocas y provocadoras enfocando las políticas de traducción, edición y cultura; la traducción de documentos oficiales; el proceso y las estrategias de traducción. El libro constituye una aportación investigativa de primera mano desde variados sitios de intersección en el más reciente panorama traductológico global.

This book addresses epistemological and political aspects of the discursive pursuit of authenticity and various ways in which the inauthentic is devalued and marginalized. The essays critically analyze various means by which the authentic is searched for, staged, admired, dismissed, replicated or simply taken for granted. What is at work in such discursive practices is a poetics of imitation. This is seen as a paradoxical kind of poetics which renounces the authenticity of the created text for the sake of its semi-religious offering to the origin. Such a divination of the Authentic posits translation as an idolatrous act accompanied by a suspicion of its simultaneously being iconoclastic.

Das Buch greift aktuelle Forschungsprobleme im Bereich der Translatorik, der Translationsdidaktik und der (Fremdsprachen-)Didaktik auf. Die Autoren betrachten die Sprachenkonstellationen Deutsch und Polnisch sowie Englisch und Polnisch. Sie analysieren unter anderem die Aspekte der Übersetzung von Höflichkeitsformeln und Eigennamen. Sie untersuchen ebenfalls die Funktion von Portfolio im Übersetzungsunterricht als didaktisches Instrument und thematisieren die Bestimmung der Ziele und die Begründung der Beurteilungskriterien für die Übersetzungsleistung in der Fachübersetzung. Den Fokus legen die Beiträger auch auf verschiedene Aspekte der Literaturübersetzerausbildung und betrachten überdies die linguistische Analyse von Reisereportagen, die Personalisierung des Lehrprozesses (Tutoring) sowie Aufgabencharakteristika des Österreichischen Sprachdiploms.

Dieser Band ist ein Plädoyer für die Anerkennung der biologischen Realität, die der Translation als menschlicher Handlung zu Grunde liegt. Die Autorinnen stellen konventionelle Axiome des translationswissenchaftlichen Kanons in Frage und gleichzeitig eine neue Definition von Translation vor. Aus der Synthese vermeintlicher Dichotomien wie Biologie oder Kultur, emotional oder rational, Denken oder Fühlen entstehen neue Begrifflichkeiten, welche die Translation in ein neues Licht rücken. Der biokulturelle Ansatz der Autorinnen verankert Sprache, Kommunikation und Kognition fest in der Spontaneität des Lebens und erklärt diese als dynamische bio-logische Prozesse.

This book offers an interdisciplinary rethinking of the role of translation in the perception and reception of cultural texts. It also discusses human everyday discursive practices at the time of fluctuation of meanings and the decline of the authentic. The authors focus critically on the phenomenon of imitative replacement by all sorts of simulacra. The essays are addressed to literary and translation scholars as well as to all those interested in finding keys to understating the complex relationship between languages and cultures.

Für die Übersetzung von Rechtstexten ist der Vergleich der Rechtssysteme unabdingbar. Das Buch erläutert und vergleicht die übersetzungsrelevanten Aspekte des deutschen und polnischen Verwaltungsverfahrensrechts sowie der Rechtslehre beider Staaten. Den theoretischen Rahmen bildet dabei die Anthropozentrische Translatorik. Die Autorin untersucht mit Hilfe der Eyetracking-Analyse die kognitiven Prozesse während des Übersetzens. Sie rekonstruiert mit der Blickbewegungsmessung die kognitiven Prozesse der Versuchspersonen während des Übersetzens.

De par leur force de changer les facettes, de se métamorphoser en fonction des particularités linguistiques, de la situation de communication, des intentions des instances interlocutives, du domaine de représentation, les notions d'implicite, de présupposition et de sous-entendu (bref du Dit et du Non-dit) se retrouvent aux fondements de toute architecture discursive. Les recherches de ce volume se proposent de définir ou redéfinir ces notions, de découvrir les mécanismes de production des stratégies discursives basées sur l'implicite, ainsi que les modalités d'expression du vouloir dire et du dire. Elles se revendiquent de la sémantique, de la pragmatique et de la grammaire diachronique et synchronique. La traductologie et les discours de spécialité bouclent la structure du livre.

Almost everything that one claims about meaning is likely to be questioned or disputed. Translation studies also abound in numerous controversies. However, there is no doubt that translations entail a transfer of meaning, even if the exact sense of the word'meaning'remains vague. The same applies to the term'translation equivalence'. This book is an attempt to cope with conceptual, terminological, theoretical, and practical difficulties resulting from this nebula of issues. Numerous examples of translated legal, religious and artistic texts are provided to substantiate the claim that translation equivalence, except in the most trivial sense of the term, is indeed a delusion. The book is addressed to all those persons who are interested in mutual relations between semantics and translation studies.
