“The positive impact of technology in translation”
Get PDFIt is widely known that translators play a key role in the growing market for intercultural technical communication and it is already a fact that technology can assist them in several areas of their work. However, the use of technology in real translation working environments has not been developed to the fullest. Through this tiny research from the wide field of technology’s impact in translation, I aim to address to the issue of how the available technology tools can best be used to enhance the translators’ job and increase their efficiency without compromising their creativity or lowering the required quality of their products.
This paper attempts to clarify the role technology plays in the translation profession, focusing mainly on looking at the positive impact of technology, despite of many questions and doubts. Some of us have embraced technology with a positive attitude as a new way of living and working, while others are skeptical and hesitate to accept a present where machines have already invaded our privacy. Regardless all the criticism, the fact is that all sectors of society are experiencing a series of ongoing changes due to technology. Needless to say, translation, as part of society, is inevitably being affected too by this global technology. Translation is both an industrial product and process, and its methods have to adapt to the new industry requirements. In this context, this paper suggests that translation professionals have to address these changes positively and accept that technology and computers are our friends and not our enemies
Self-assertive Female Characters in Kate Chopin’s Fiction
Get PDFThe late nineteenth century American novelist and short story writer, Kate Chopin is well-known for her compelling portraiture of women in her fiction. Quite often, editors would turn down many of her short stories because her female characters were considered too emancipated and passionate for her time. They were often, daring women who lived out their strong impulses and tried to challenge the conventions of the nineteenth century. They were self-assertive and courageous women who wanted to decide over their own lives. Kate Chopin herself was a daring and self-assertive writer. She wrote about some taboo topics in the nineteenth century, such as female sexuality, childbirth and pregnancy. Chopin is considered the first woman writer in America to accept passion as a legitimate subject for serious fiction. Kate Chopin saw and understood all aspects of the female psyche and her particular interest was woman’s awakening to her true nature, whether traditional, emancipated or a mixture of the two. Of particular interest for this paper are a number of these self-assertive female characters in Kate Chopin’s fiction
Difficulties in Learning and Producing Passive Voice
Get PDFThis study examines how learners learning English produce and judge English passive voice structures. The ultimate goal of this study is to contribute to an understanding of the extent, nature and sources of learners' persistent difficulties with some syntactic properties of the language they are acquiring.
It is to examine whether word order errors in the production of English passive voice by L2 learners stem from lack of knowledge or from difficulties with automatic implementation of L2 procedures. To examine whether errors in the production of English passive voice by L2 learners (in our case, English) can be attributed to transfer of L1 (in our case, Albanian) properties and vice versa, Albanian and English patterns are compared.
Taken together, the facts indicate that difficulties with English passive voice structures are a consistent phenomenon in L2 acquisition, and do not follow in a direct way from properties of the L1. Furthermore, the facts show that learners' errors are associated with some syntactic configurations, suggesting that L2 learners divert similar grammatical hypotheses and make use of similar mechanisms for language acquisition
Some lexical, grammatical and functional features of phraseological units in English and Albanian
Get PDFThe task of defining what an idiomatic expression is remains still a rather difficult one. The border between literal and idiomatic expressions is still controversial. The difficulty in defining phraseological unitss is due to several factors. Current treatment of phraseology in specialised registers acknowledges the need for corpus-based studies of the prototypical lexico-grammatical patternings and discourse functions of lexical phrases across disciplines. Thus, the aim of this paper is to deal with some lexical, grammatical and functional features of phraseological units in order to understand their nature and to deal with idiomatization as a process. More precisely, this research study intends to explore prototypical lexico-grammatical features and patterns of phraseological units in English and Albanian. This analysis is based entirely on corpus evidence, since all collocational patterns discussed are extracted mainly from literary texts in both languages, specifically compiled for the current research study
