Knickerbockers, nightshirts, robes, and a hat with a stuffed vulture on top
The current study discusses the translation procedures applied to clothing, appearance, adornments, and decorations in the seven Harry Potter books in Bulgarian. Making use of Aixelá’s (1996) methodology, the study aims not only to map and discuss the dominant translation procedures for the aforementioned categories, but to note any differences in the renditions of magical and real-world items. The results prove that the most common translation p…
Natural vs artificial intelligence and neural machine translation in specialised translation
The current study aims to identify the differences between human and hybrid translation, analyse the impact of Neural Machine Translation and Artificial Intelligence on the final product, and evaluate the performance of two groups of students translating specialised texts. The first group relies on advanced technology, utilising both Neural Machine Translation and Artificial Intelligence, while the second group depends solely on natural intellige…
Fantastic names and how to translate them
The current paper presents an empirical research that studies the approaches governing the process of transformation from English into Bulgarian of elements in the source text which are heavily loaded with culture, symbolism and meaning. More precisely, the article pays attention to the transformation of personal names, titles, names of fantastic beasts (animals), names of objects and institutions, as well as geographical names excerpted from a b…
Machine translation post-editing – Current situation and the future of translator training in Bulgaria
The current paper is an attempt to analyse the situation on the market for specialised translation services, and more precisely for Machine Translation in Bulgaria. It provides an overview of some of the generic MT systems and analyses the results coming from the translation of two types of text. The aim of the paper is to raise awareness about the results of Neural Machine Translation and to reveal the need for MT post-editing courses
Bridging English and Bulgarian Intensifiers and Adjectives
It is perfectly natural that users of English and Bulgarian alike find some combinations of intensifiers and adjectives possible while others sound too strange to be used. The paper deals with the constraints that govern the collocation of intensifiers and adjectives in English and in Bulgarian and proves that these restrictions are predictable and lie in conceptualisations of both constituents. What is more, the study proves that the same criter…
Translation Equivalents in British and Bulgarian Print Media
The paper deals with collocations of intensifiers and adjectives existing in original English and Bulgarian texts and aims to pair them as possible translation equivalents, thus helping to map the possible renditions of one and the same concept in two languages. It uses a non-parallel, comparable corpus of letters to the editor, published in British and Bulgarian newspapers and magazines, and applies a method for extracting bilingual expressions …
""Absolutely"" modifying adjectives in British and Bulgarian newspapers in comparison with the British national corpus
The paper studies the collocations formed by ‘absolutely’ used as an adverbial intensifier for modifying adjectives in a corpus of Letters to the Editor, published in British and Bulgarian newspapers, and the BNC. The results of the study show the similarities between the collocations of ‘absolutely’ in English and Bulgarian as well as the resemblances in the choice of a syntactic position of the modified adjectives in both languages
