The training sessions were designed to improve practical skills and to raise participant…
Different Explicitness in Translations of Korean Feminist Literature
This study examines the English and Thai translations of two Korean literary works, Kim Ji-young, Born 1982 and Please Look After Mother. Using a feminist translation approach, the study found that the four versions employ most of the word choices, sentence modifications, explanations, and footnotes as feminist texualisation, but the translators for each of these novels do not fully adopt this feminist stance. Both the English and Thai translator…

The first part examines how translators-in-training translated references to non-normative sexualitie…
A piece of Thailand recontextualized in Hong Kong
Despite having an ethnic Chinese majority, Hong Kong, a special administrative region of China, is a diverse society with migrants and temporary workers from various ethnic, sociolinguistic, and cultural backgrounds (e.g. Indians, Nepalis, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Indonesians, Filipinos, and Thais) as a result of historical and economic factors. To date, most (socio)linguistic studies on the global city have focused on the two dominant languages…

Self-translation for tapping into affinity with Chineseness
This study aims to investigate how Viktor Axelsen, one of the world's most renowned badminton players, employs self-translation via Instagram to forge a stronger bond and affinity with the Chinese-speaking audience. We use ambient affiliation and appraisal frameworks to analyse the athlete's communing approaches. We have identified six approaches characteristic of his online communing: Entertaining, Embodying, Endorsing, Empathising, Encouraging,…
Leniency toward the disadvantaged
This article examines the representations of Myanmar migrant workers and the Thai government’s press conferences in Thai and English during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through the lens of critical discourse analysis, the migrant workers were portrayed as helpless recipients of assistance, subtly reinforcing the alienation of migrants against the host society’s attempt at egalitarianism. The Thai government was positioned as a “protector,” strengthenin…
When ‘us’ becomes ‘them’
Public discussions of non-normative sexualities are generally ‘tolerated’ in many Thai public spaces; however, being visibly homosexual in Thailand can mean being susceptible to discrimination and stigmatization. In this study, children’s ability to re-narrate their life worlds is articulated and through an a/r/tographic articulation of the assemblages of their onto-epistemic social relations drawn from their everyday encountering of images of ge…

The participants ( n = 26) were clustered into different groups based on their shared viewpoints on sources of job satisfaction. The findings…
Self-translation by an academic in exile
In the wake of the twelfth successful coup in 2014, Thailand began to crack down on academics critical of the junta’s authority. Many fled to other countries but continue to be politically active, both online and offline. This study examines the case of Pavin Chachavalpongpun, an exiled political scientist and outspoken opponent of the military coup, and his self-translated academic book condemning the illegitimate seizure of power. His original …
A Less than Lay-Friendly Translation
Information on drug use should be easily comprehensible and provide clear instructions without relying on expert advice. Drawing upon the concept of lay-friendly translation (Askehave and Zethsen 2002, 2014; Jensen 2013), this study examines the translated information leaflets and labels of drug-related and cosmeceutical products in Thailand to understand characteristics of supposedly reachable language use. The findings reveal both lay-friendly …

Data were collected through card-sorting task and follow-up interviews. The findin…

A sense of (dis)connectedness

Based on an inductive, exploratory analysis, our study focuses on the specific language use that facilitated the creation and perpetuation of LGBTQ+ “othering”. Our data were drawn on a purposive sample of posted comments on Facebook that made explicit and active forms of criticism of LGB…
Saving Face of the ‘Saviour’
Thailand became a military dictatorship in May 2014, after the army deposed the democratically elected government. After being chastised for his lack of legitimacy and appeasing his opposition, Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha began to give official interviews to the international press in his second year in office and intermittently delivered the mandatory live broadcast address to the public. This paper focuses on English translations of Pr…

Translation of Pronouns and Deictic Positioning in the Thai Prime Minister’s Weekly Addresses

The English translation is considered a new feature of this political genre, with implications for Thailand’s political situation.
