Feeding the imagination
Audio description is a mode of audiovisual translation which renders visual information, including action, accessible to the visually impaired. Because languages differ in their typical means for describing motion events (i.e. Talmy 1985; Slobin 1996a), the audio-described experience available to speakers of different languages may likewise differ, a phenomenon we have dubbed ‘thinking-for-audio-describing’ (cf. thinking-for-speaking, Slobin 1996…
Audio description across languages
Thinking-for-audio-describing
This study examines motion events in the English and Spanish audio-described versions of the film The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, pursuing two main research questions. First, to determine the ways in which linguistic typology and factors inherent to audio description (AD) have a combined impact on the lexicalization of motion events in the product of AD. Second, to identify the distinct features of the Thinking-for-audio-describing phenomenon.…
Manner-of-speaking in a corpus-based translation study of narrative texts
This contribution examines manner-of-speaking (e.g. murmur, mutter ) in a German>Spanish parallel corpus of narrative texts. This research was prompted by the fact that this phenomenon had not yet been paid due attention in the “Thinking-for-Translating” framework, in comparison with the phenomenon of manner-of-motion (e.g. limp, run ). The starting point of this paper is thus the widely confirmed fact that, in previous works focusing on the tran…
Didáctica de la traducción jurídica a partir de recursos en línea
En esta contribución presentamos una experiencia docente basada en la traducción especializada (inglés-español), más concretamente en la traducción de géneros jurídicos. La novedad de esta propuesta consiste en el uso de recursos abiertos en línea en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Es decir, herramientas que, de manera autónoma y flexible, permitan al estudiante llevar a cabo tareas de pre-traducción tales como el análisis del género textual…
Promoción de ciudades Patrimonio de la Humanidad
Esta contribución presenta un estudio de traducción español-inglés basado en un corpus formado por las páginas web turísticas oficiales de las 15 ciudades españolas que hasta la fecha han sido declaradas Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad de la UNESCO. Nos centramos en la traducción de los referentes culturales y, más concretamente, en el léxico relacionado con la comida y la bebida. Las técnicas de traducción observadas se agrupan si…
Why typology matters
This research highlights the importance of linguistic typology to our understanding of translation universals. It tests two potential universals: process-oriented implicitation and product-oriented explicitation. Drawing on the hypothesis of thinking-for-translating, this paper analyses these universals in terms of the expression of Manner-of-motion, one of the semantic components which displays asymmetries between satellite-framed languages (e.g…
Eating and drinking seen through translation
This paper presents an exploratory study on translators’ decisions when encountering food-related translation difficulties in a parallel corpus of German original narrative texts and their translations into Spanish and Catalan. For this purpose, all food- and drink-related lexemes in the German original texts were extracted and classified in semantic groups. As a second step, the source and target text fragments of lexemes related to foodrelated …
