Grammar translation

Speech act is generally associated with pragmatic equivalence. It is that approach which asserts that in a translation process what is said has to be translated in addition to what is meant.

account for L2 development? Is it necessary? Can it hinder fluency? The controversy involving explicit and implicit learning boosts many studies in SLA field. Some researches (e.g. Krashen, 1981; Paradis, 1994) do not see much contribution of explicit grammar teaching in L2 development, whereas others (R. Ellis, 1994) argue that explicit knowledge accelerates form-meaning mapping and helps to attain certain types of knowledge, such as academic or professional speaking and writing, that are not…

Introduction Translation is the act of rendering a written text from one language into another. It is the action of interpretation of the meaning of a text, and subsequent production of an equivalent text, also called a translation, that communicates the same message in another language, which is why the outcome has to be close to the original meaning. If the goal of the translation is to understand the culture, it is more useful to comprehend the meaning. The translation must take into…

opposed to meter, grammar, or rhyme scheme. To this purpose, the translation attempts to stay as close to the original text as possible, with a few subjective decisions made to preserve some of the connections which are made in the french. The first of these decisions actually occurs in the title itself, “Le Crépuscule du soir”. “Crépuscule” is literally “twilight”, and both words contain the ambiguity of referring to either dusk or dawn, so “twilight” is an acceptable translation. “Soir”,…

Sabrina Butler Professor Adams English 103 5/14/15 Outlook on Death in Dickinson’s “Because I Could Not Stop for Death” Death is considered by many to be the heartbreaking termination of existence; the moment when one is compelled to despair, to concede loss, and yield to the inescapable. As discouraging as this outlook on death may appear, one may be amazed at why Emily Dickinson preferred to make death one among the major themes in her poems. Because numerous poets of the 19th century composed…

Doing a close reading of a poem has a set up strategy. Close reading involves so many variables. At times, the voices in the poem are exceptional, at times, the genre of the poem is important; at times, the grouping of keywords, imagery, or at times it just takes time to find the right impression of the poem. Simple put poems are a way for the writers to express feelings about issues considered critical. The choice of the style to be used in the poem has a way of communicating with the reader.…

challenge. Second, it implicitly advertises the documentary through asking the reader questions (ST line) (which may be answered in the documentary) and tells the reader when and where to watch the documentary. If we assume that the client for this translation project is the source writer, it may be because the documentary will be shown on British television. The ST and the TT therefore have the same…

Curiosity and imagination are wonderful things, especially when combined and questions arise. I wonder what the dead do when they die? What does a person feel when they lose something that was hard earned? What do those questions look like when they’re answered in a poem? What do those poems look like when they are brought to life in animation? All good questions that Billy Collins and a couple of talented artists have attempted to answer. Their products are then put out for the world to see and…

The language of poetry I have found myself in this situation many times before. The whole class staring at me because I started to speak, but what stumbles out seems to be foreign from what was in my head. I catch sight of what I am trying to say and I know it is perfect, yet the words are jumbled and hesitant. Everyone contemplating what they have heard, even though I swear they did not come out of my mouth. Which builds a wall between them and I, a language barrier restricting them from me…
