This book was released on 2006 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Notre époque se caractérise d'une part par l'éclatement des domaines économiques, financiers et technologiques et, d'autre part, par une fragmentation culturelle grandissante ayant pour résultat une perception et un maintien plus poussés des différences culturelles. L'accent mis de nos jours sur les aspects culturels conduit bien souvent à des malentendus et empêche de ce fait, dans de nombreux cas, la compréhension qui est sensée être établie. Dans ce contexte, la communication interculturelle prend une importance grandissante et ce, dans quasi tous les domaines. Traducteurs et interprètes peuvent alors pleinement jouer leur rôle de médiateurs dès lors qu'ils possèdent une formation professionnelle et académique adéquate qui doit obligatoirement tenir compte de ces nouvelles données. Dans le cadre du Forum de la CIUTI de 2005, les différents aspects du choc des civilisations, tel que Huntington (1996) l'a décrit, et du rôle des traducteurs et interprètes dans la triade « culture, communication et traduction », sont examinés dans quatre volets différents. Le multiculturalisme en tant que défi à la communication, la diversité culturelle et la paix, ou encore à la mondialisation culturelle avec ses défis et ses perspectives y jouent un rôle prépondérant.

Book excerpt: Quality assurance has been a major issue in Higher Education discourse during the past decade. Evaluations, accreditations and assessments have almost become standard procedures within the framework of translation studies. This quest for quality has not only to integrate market needs and new market requirements, but also novel strategies in training - whereby training learners and trainers has to be given equal attention. Translation quality has become a key issue in the interlinguistic and intercultural communication market as well as in the translator education environment. It has to be looked upon as a multifaceted issue to which all major players have to contribute: institutes of higher education, labor market and individual translators. Within the framework of the CIUTI FORUM 2008, the speakers emphasized the different aspects of quality from the point of view of the trainer, the professional and the market. This volume tries to highlight all those quality issues from an international, interdisciplinary and multifaceted perspective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for the previous edition of the Encyclopedia of Translation Studies: 'Translation has long deserved this sort of treatment. Appropriate for any college or university library supporting a program in linguistics, this is vital in those institutions that train students to become translators.' – Rettig on Reference 'Congratulations should be given to Mona Baker for undertaking such a mammoth task and...successfully pulling it off. It will certainly be an essential reference book and starting point for anyone interested in translation studies.' – ITI Bulletin 'This excellent volume is to be commended for bringing together some of [its] most recent research. It provides a series of extremely useful short histories, quite unlike anything that can be found elsewhere. University teachers will find it invaluable for preparing seminars and it will be widely used by students.' – The Times Higher Education Supplement ' ... a pioneering work of reference ...'– Perspectives on Translation The Routledge Encyclopedia of Translation Studies has been the standard reference in the field since it first appeared in 1998. The second, extensively revised and extended edition brings this unique resource up-to-date and offers a thorough, critical and authoritative account of one of the fastest growing disciplines in the humanities. The Encyclopedia is divided into two parts and alphabetically ordered for ease of reference. Part One (General) covers the conceptual framework and core concerns of the discipline. Categories of entries include: central issues in translation theory (e.g. equivalence, translatability, unit of translation) key concepts (e.g. culture, norms, ethics, ideology, shifts, quality) approaches to translation and interpreting (e.g. sociological, linguistic, functionalist) types of translation (e.g. literary, audiovisual, scientific and technical) types of interpreting (e.g. signed language, dialogue, court). New additions in this section include entries on globalisation, mobility, localization, gender and sexuality, censorship, comics, advertising and retranslation, among many others. Part Two (History and Traditions) covers the history of translation in major linguistic and cultural communities. It is arranged alphabetically by linguistic region. There are entries on a wide range of languages which include Russian, French, Arabic, Japanese, Chinese and Finnish, and regions including Brazil, Canada and India. Many of the entries in this section are based on hitherto unpublished research. This section includes one new entry: Southeast Asian tradition. Drawing on the expertise of over 90 contributors from 30 countries and an international panel of consultant editors, this volume offers a comprehensive overview of translation studies as an academic discipline and anticipates new directions in the field. The contributors examine various forms of translation and interpreting as they are practised by professionals today, in addition to research topics, theoretical issues and the history of translation in various parts of the world. With key terms defined and discussed in context, a full index, extensive cross-references, diagrams and a full bibliography the Routledge Encyclopedia of Translation Studies is an invaluable reference work for all students and teachers of translation, interpreting, and literary and social theory.

This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of translation memories and machine translation have led to new quality assurance practices where translators have found themselves checking not only human translation but also machine translation outputs. As a result, the notions of revision and interpersonal competences have gained great importance with international projects recognizing them as high priorities. Quality Assurance and Assessment Practices in Translation and Interpreting is a critical scholarly resource that serves as a guide to overcoming the challenge of how translation and interpreting results should be observed, given feedback, and assessed. It also informs the design of new ways of evaluating students as well as suggesting criteria for professional quality control. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as quality management, translation tests, and competency-based assessments, this book is geared towards translators, interpreters, linguists, academicians, translation and interpreting researchers, and students seeking current research on the new ways of evaluating students as well as suggesting criteria for professional quality control in translation.

Download or read book Translating the European House written by Stefan Baumgarten and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-17 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology of papers, written by Christina Schäffner, brings together a selection of articles on the theme of translation and politics. Written from the perspective of translation studies and critical discourse analysis, it provides an overview of the textual and ideological factors that determine processes of translation within the arena of international politics. The selected articles afford a fascinating insight into the dynamics of intercultural exchange against the backdrop of European politics from the fall of the Berlin Wall to debates on EU enlargement. By taking a context-sensitive approach to linguistic description, this book will be of interest to scholars in various adjacent fields of research, such as (applied) linguistics, (intercultural) communication studies, media studies, political science and the sociology of globalisation, as well as to relevant higher education programmes around the world. The discipline of translation studies has made its mark by conceptualising translation as a form of cross-cultural communication that transcends asymmetrical relations of power, foregrounding issues such as (colonial) domination, (cultural) hegemony, and ideology. To date, however, there has been no compelling evidence of the linguistic implications of transnational political communication, and little research has been done to help us to understand how political discourse at the international level presupposes translation. Featuring a wealth of examples from political text and talk, each article here links contextual features to the linguistic choices of political actors. By moving beyond national and cultural boundaries, these analyses help the reader to get to grips with the discursive implications of power politics, and to open up a new debate for a novel area of studies that might be termed cross-cultural political discourse analysis.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diese Festschrift ehrt Martin Forstner, Professor an der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz und zeichnet einige der wesentlichen Initiativen eines grossen Gelehrten und Wegebereiters nach, dessen Forschung und Publikationen für die Translationswissenschaft als richtungweisend gelten. Seine Freunde und Kollegen der CIUTI widmen ihm diesen Band in Dankbarkeit für sein Wirken auf nationaler und internationaler Ebene. Die hier behandelten Themen spiegeln die vielfältigen Facetten der Translationswissenschaft wieder. So ist die akademische Ausbildung, in welcher Evaluierung eine Schlüsselrolle spielt, ebenso Gegenstand der Überlegungen wie die neuen Wege, welche diese Ausbildung einschlagen sollte, damit unsere Absolventen nicht nur heute, sondern auch in Zukunft den Anforderungen des Marktes entsprechen können. Auch den veränderten geopolitischen Konstellationen, welche althergebrachte Muster in Frage stellen und die Ausbilder zwingen, neue Richtungen in der Translationsdidaktik zu nehmen, wird Rechnung getragen. Das vorliegende Werk beinhaltet ferner die Modellisierung von Übersetzungstheorien, die Aspekte der Theaterübersetzung, die Rechtsterminologie für das Sprachenpaar arabisch-deutsch, die neuen Marktanforderungen, die interkulturelle Kompetenz, skizziert die Beziehung zwischen Philologie und Übersetzung, stellt Überlegungen zur Bolognareform an und unterstreicht, dass Bilingualismus nicht zwangsweise mit übersetzerischer Kompetenz gleichzusetzen ist. Dieses Buch enthält 8 Beiträge auf Deutsch, 6 auf Französisch, 6 auf Englisch und 2 auf Italienisch.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our current knowledge society, as exemplified in our universities, is booming. The socialization of knowledge production, along with the development of interand transdisciplinary research groupings within traditionally discipline-based teaching institutions is equally increasing, even to the extent, that new terminology is coined to better specify this cross-sector collaboration. One of these new concepts which have emerged within the framework of interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity is heterogenic cooperation. This concept describes the bringing together of knowledge from different sources and can be observed mainly when specialists are dependent on skills and knowledge which do not exist within the framework of their own scientific domain. The ultimate result of heterogenic cooperation will enlarge any cooperation by integrating partners from different domains, fostering collaboration in a common project with a homogeneous result. In a nutshell: the pathway from heterogeneity to homogeneity. The proceedings of the CIUTI FORUM 2012 highlight different types of networks leading not only to better practices and academic quality but also to new and innovative partnerships. Such as a solid integration of partners from industry and professional associations as well as from the language services of the United Nations, the European Parliament and the European Commission. This volume also strives to outpace in fine the status of Translation Studies as a hybrid discipline in order to be able to serve other scientific domains as a source of knowhow, skills and competences. This book contains contributions in English, French and German.
