Power distance and intercultural pragmatics through translation
Offensiveness and sexual blackmailing in Aristophanes’ Lysistrata
Des femmes non mères volontaires ( childfree ) à la lumière de l’histoire personnelle et du lien social contemporain
La présente recherche vise à explorer l’expérience de l’absence de maternité volontaire et le sens subjectif qui lui est attribué. L’échantillon était composé de cinq femmes grecques qui se définissent comme non mères par choix (deux d’âge adulte émergent et trois d’âge moyen). Nos résultats mettent en valeur le sens donné par chacune des cinq femmes au concept de choix dans le cas de la non-maternité, à la coexistence de l’amour pour les enfants…
Introducing the special issue on the pragmatics of translation
Identity formation and patriarchal voices in theatre translation
Understanding migration through translating the multimodal code
Refiguring Asianness in tourism advertising
Identities are often reshaped, in translanguaging contexts, to fit narratives circulating in target environments. Analysis of parallel tourism data shifts is a rich resource for tracing how space identities may travel cross-culturally. The study tackles representations of Asianness as manifested through English and Greek parallel texts, in tourism advertising, to reveal locally internalized ‘speaker positionings’ which significantly affect the ‘p…
Communicating Crisis through English-Greek Translation
The study tackles crisis communication through the press, which reshapes the construction of crisis events, vulnerability, and resilience across English articles and their Greek translations. The strategies involve (a) distinguishing between approaches across English and Greek relative to crisis type, (b) reshaping representations of victims, and (c) assigning responsibility to powerful others. Linguistic variation in re-mediating suffering throu…
Shaping public view
Media research problematizes processes of mediation and the media-audience relationship. The study explores a second-order but equally important type of mediation process, that of press translation. It examines a set of pairs of English original and Greek translated headlines culled from various Greek newspapers (2005–2015). It highlights translation shifts which have the potential to drive the interest and values of some locations and political …
Politeness shifts in English-Greek political science discourse
Translation practice is a code interaction situation (Schäffner and Adab 1997; Cronin 2003; Heine and Kuteva 2005; House 2006), which can bring about change in target linguistic systems through the cumulative effect of hegemonic donor languages on reception ones. The study traces development of politeness-related features in English-Greek samples of translated political science discourse. A pilot study first identifies a set of shift types betwee…
Translanguaging aspects of modality
This article explores aspects of modal marker use in English and Greek and suggests that parallel data may significantly contribute to raising learners’ intercultural sensitivity in the FL classroom, as an instance of TOLC (Translation in Other Language Contexts). Parallel data seem to assume a dynamic potential (privileging learner autonomy and developing self-study skills), which other traditional approaches to the use of the modal system lack,…
Reflections on the relational in translation as mediated interaction
Metaphorical conceptualizations of vertical and horizontal space in English press articles and their Greek translations
The paper examines variation in the way the conceptualization of the vertical and the horizontal dimension is registered in original English and translated Greek press reports. It highlights intercultural variation which gives rise to different collocations across English source and Greek target press items. This intercultural variation may be one of the reasons why Greek learners’ EFL production is hard to reach near-native command of the counte…

Greek and English linguistic identities in the EU
Translated and original texts have been claimed to differ with respect to their linguistic make-up. Parallel versions of texts seem to reflect aspects of the identities represented by the respective languages. The study exploits this potential, in the EU context, with a view to raising awareness of linguistic and cultural differences between English and Greek. A descriptive approach to parallel English and Greek EU material reveals aspects of lin…
Socio-political narratives in translated English-Greek news headlines
This paper explores interculturality through a cross-disciplinary perspective. It draws on political and translation theory to discuss differences in English-Greek news headlines, which contribute to constructing a different reality in the two environments. As anticipated by critical perspectives to discourse analysis (Wodak 1997; Chilton 2005; Baker 2006; Schiffrin 2009), the text is informed by collective narratives that shape experience. Drawi…

The study shows that source and target versions of ads can accurately mirror linguistic preference across source and target environments. It points to culture-specific, genre-specific and gender-specific linguistic preference imprinted in ad discourses. It examines genre-internal variation in print-based advertising in the English-Greek translation paradigm. It explores variation in discursive preference manifested in target versions of business-…
Writing
Cross-cultural variation in written discourse has attracted less attention than similar variation in oral communication, although such studies are useful in quite a few areas of application, especially translation. The article intends to investigate tendencies in abstract writing between researchers from English-speaking countries and Greece. The data come from the Proceedings of the 9th World Congress of Applied Linguistics held at Thessaloniki-…
Advertising in Translation
The role of advertising can be perceived quite differently across cultures. Analysts, therefore, are advised to approach advertisements with some understanding of the expectations in a particular culture (Rotzoll 1985). Such advice is particularly important in translating advertisements since the various strategies and techniques employed for persuasion have to be adjusted in the target culture in order for the intended perlocutionary effect to b…
Offensive language in English‐Greek translation
Using three texts as paradigms, this article discusses how the treatment of taboo issues varies across cultures. The article focuses on how offensive language (references to sex, defecation, etc.) is dealt with in English‐Greek translation, in three different genres, and how this reflects cross‐cultural variation in the toleration shown by audiences in these two cultures. In a news translation situation, Greek cannot tolerate offensive items, whe…
Causal shifts in news reporting
Persuasion strategies often involve the expression of cause‐and‐effect relationships between discourse segments. Since persuasion strategies often vary cross‐culturally, relationships in discourse may also be subject to cross‐cultural variation. A 12,000 word sample of translated articles in Greek newspapers was contrasted to the longer source versions in the English‐speaking press. In some cases explicit cause‐and‐effect relationships were trans…
