Download or read book Diccionario de procedimiento parlamentario Dictionary of parliamentary procedure written by María Cristina Magee and published by Colegio de Traductores Públicos de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires. This book was released on 2023-05-11 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Desde siempre en nuestro país, la traducción de las diversas instancias del procedimiento parlamentario ha causado dificultades que, en ocasiones, han llevado a graves errores de interpretación que ni el paso del tiempo ha logrado subsanar. Como sucede con la jerga de toda especialidad, el vocabulario utilizado en el Congreso y en las legislaturas provinciales y municipales para el tratamiento de sus iniciativas legislativas es específico, y todo intento de alejarse de él puede llevar a desinteligencias y situaciones engorrosas. Mucho antes de la creación del Congreso argentino, nuestras Cámaras legislativas intentaron reproducir —a través de la traducción— terminología y procedimientos para poder celebrar sus sesiones. Para ello, se recurrió a los cuerpos legislativos de larga data, como el Parlamento de Gran Bretaña, el Congreso de los Estados Unidos y la Asamblea Legislativa de Francia. Entre los muchos diccionarios de especialidades, es difícil encontrar en estas latitudes uno sobre procedimiento parlamentario; y hasta el momento, no hay ninguno bilingüe que abarque la cantidad de términos específicos que contiene este diccionario. Consciente de esta carencia, me he atrevido a elaborar, palabra por palabra, esta obra de características desconocidas en el país, tomando para ello la jerga propia de nuestro Congreso Nacional y la del Congreso de los Estados Unidos. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The translation of the different steps of the parliamentary procedure in our country has always raised difficulties, which at times, have led to serious misinterpretations, not always solved even by the passing of time. As it happens with the jargon of any specialty, the vocabulary used in Congress and provincial and local legislatures in the consideration of their legislative initiatives is specific, and all attempts to move away from it may lead to misunderstandings and awkward situations. Long before the creation of the Argentine Congress, our legislative houses attempted to reproduce—through translation—terminology and procedures to be able to successfully hold their meetings. To that end, it was found appropriate to resort to the old legislative bodies, such as the British Parliament, the Congress of the United States of America and the Legislative Assembly of France. Among the many specialty dictionaries in these latitudes, it is difficult to find one on parliamentary procedure; and up to the present, there is no other bilingual dictionary containing the number of specific terms that this dictionary contains. Being aware of this deficit, I have dared to build up, word by word, this work of unknown characteristics in the country, employing, to that end, the jargon of our National Congress and that of the Congress of the United States.

Book excerpt: From the Classroom to the Courtroom: A guide to interpreting in the U.S. justice system offers a wealth of information that will assist aspiring court interpreters in providing linguistic minorities with access to fair and expeditious judicial proceedings. The guide will familiarize prospective court interpreters and students interested in court interpreting with the nature, purpose and language of pretrial, trial and post-trial proceedings. Documents, dialogues and monologues illustrate judicial procedures; the description of court hearings with transcripts creates a realistic model of the stages involved in live court proceedings. The innovative organization of this guide mirrors the progression of criminal cases through the courts and provides readers with an accessible, easy-to-follow format. It explains and illustrates court procedure as well as provides interpreting exercises based on authentic materials from each successive stage. This novel organization of materials around the stages of the judicial process also facilitates quick reference without the need to review the entire volume — an additional advantage that makes this guide the ideal interpreters’ reference manual.

Download or read book Met foras de sentencias judiciales de Estados Unidos trasladadas a la doctrina y la jurisprudencia de la Argentina written by Marisa Alejandra Nowiczewski and published by Colegio de Traductores Públicos de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires. This book was released on 2023-09-19 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Una de las críticas más recurrentes al discurso jurídico español se refiere a su oscuridad e impenetrabilidad. En particular, el uso de la metáfora, entre otras figuras del lenguaje, representa uno de los factores que contribuyen a que el discurso jurídico resulte incomprensible aun para aquellos familiarizados con el mundo del derecho. Esto se debe a que, en muchos casos, se adoptan figuras o ideas propias del derecho estadounidense mediante procedimientos de trasvase, como la traducción literal, que cuando se aplican como misma y única estrategia de traducción conducen a un fracaso comunicacional entre el emisor experto y sus receptores, ya sean legos o miembros de la comunidad jurídica. En relación con la traducción al español de metáforas de sentencias judiciales de EE.UU. que se emplean en la jurisprudencia y la doctrina de la Argentina, consideramos que la reproducción de la misma imagen en la lengua meta (Newmark, 1988) o traducción literal es el procedimiento más utilizado para traducir las metáforas del inglés al español. Es de destacar que no existen trabajos de investigación, en la Argentina o en otro país hispanohablante, cuyo objetivo sea el estudio de este procedimiento de traducción en particular aplicado a la metáfora jurídica. En este trabajo de tesis analizamos las metáforas mencionadas a partir del enfoque lingüístico-cognitivo propuesto por Lakoff y Johnson (1980), abordamos su traducción al español y aportamos evidencia empírica que permite corroborar nuestra hipótesis. Compilamos un corpus de veinte metáforas presentes en sentencias de tribunales de EE.UU. y de textos de jurisprudencia y de doctrina de Argentina que incluyen esas metáforas. Se proce al análisis contrastivo de las metáforas en los textos de partida y sus traducciones en los textos de llegada mediante un modelo que parte de una aproximación translation-oriented (Nord, 1991a) y del examen de los factores extratextuales e intratextuales que propone la autora (1991a) y que han abordado las teorías de análisis del discurso. One of the most frequent criticisms leveled at legal discourse in Spanish is that it is obscure and impenetrable in nature. The use of metaphor, among other figures of speech, is a major contributing factor in making legal discourse incomprehensible even to those familiar with the world of law. The reason for this is that in many cases, legal devices or concepts of American Law are adopted by means of translation methods such as literal translation which, when systematically applied as the only strategy, usually lead to communication failures between expert source text producers and target text receivers, whether laymen or legal professionals. In this thesis, we argue that reproducing the same image in the target language (Newmark, 1988) or literal translation is the most widespread method to translate, from English into Spanish, metaphors in U.S. court opinions that are employed in Argentine court decisions and scholarly texts. It should be noted that previous work, whether from Argentina or other Spanish-speaking countries, has failed to address this method in particular as applied to the translation of legal metaphors. In this study, we analyze the metaphors mentioned above using the cognitive-linguistic approach to metaphor launched by Lakoff & Johnson (1980), discuss their translation into Spanish, and provide empirical evidence to support our claim. We assembled a corpus of twenty metaphors in U.S. court opinions, and of Argentine court decisions and scholarly texts including those metaphors. Using the corpus, we compare the metaphors in the source texts and their translations in the target texts by using a model that is based on (i) a translation-oriented text analysis (Nord, 1991a), and (ii) the assessment of intratextual and extratextual factors proposed by Nord (1991a) and and extratextual factors proposed by Nord (1991a) and addressed by discourse analysis theories.

This book was released on 2023-01-03 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Es un libro diseñado para estudiantes y profesionales dedicados a la enseñanza y la traducción del idioma inglés. Presenta dichos y proverbios famosos, modos de uso frecuentes en lengua castellana y expresiones propias del habla coloquial en la Argentina y su traducción al inglés. Este es un singular tipo de diccionario no exhaustivo de correspondencia o conformidad entre frases, giros, expresiones y modismos en castellano e Inglés, de ahí el neologismo CONCORDARIO, puesto que no se trata de un diccionario en el sentido propio. Inútil es buscar aquí exacta similitud verbal, porque tal cosa con frecuencia no existe, desde que el significado de una expresión o un modismo posee gradaciones de matiz y contundencia expresiva, además de las variantes específicas, conforme a la situación en la que se emplea o el particular registro que el lenguaje asume. Tampoco hay una sola forma de correspondencia entre dos expresiones dadas, pues en muchos casos, la conformidad suele variar de acuerdo al contexto. La lista está ordenada por secuencia alfabética de la palabra subrayada que integra la expresión, e incluye aquellos giros idiomáticos o formas de dicción cuya traducción no logra deducirse generalmente de una versión hecha vocablo a vocablo. En este sentido, la versión inglesa intenta en ocasiones traducir la idea detrás del uso particular del modismo, cuando aquella se acerca a una equivalencia del giro o la frase castellana.
