The development of translation theories in Europe
No full textEste artigo trata do desenvolvimento dos estudos da tradução na Europa, no siculo XX. O maior enfoque está na mudança da perspeciiva de pesquisa, da comparação entre línguas para a confrontação de textos e da focalização datradução como atividade pragmática para a investigação do pensamento do tradutor (perspectiva cognitiva). Paralelamente à discussão dos conceitos teóricos, comenta-se também o desenvolvimento institucional dos estudos da tradução.Der vorliegende Aufsatz behandelt die Entwicklung der europäischen Übersetzungswissenschaft im 20. Jahrhundert. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf dem Wandel der Forschungsperspektive vom Vergleich einzelner Sprachen hin zur Gegenüberstellung von Texten und von der Betonung des Handlungscharakters der Übersetzung hin zur Untersuchung des übersetzerischen Denkens (kognitive Perspektive). Parallel zur Diskussion theoretischer Konzepte, ist auch die institutionelle Entwicklung der Übersetzungswissenschaft Gegenstand der Untersuchung
Phenomenology and Rhetoric in Hermeneutic Translation
Full text linkTranslational Hermeneutics as a discipline is central in Translation Studies. It redirects academic interest from language structures and cultural differences onto the person dealing with them, the translator. The translator, with intellectual, social and individual aspects of identity, combines intuition with reflection in the mediating process. S/he has in his or her strategy a dual perspective on the texts: s/he asks for their socio-cultural background, and analyses holistically the level of the text’s language structure, never proceeding in a word-for-word manner. Comprehension requires relevant cultural and specialist knowledge guiding the phenomenology in understanding, whereas proficiency in specific text genres and styles, textual logic, and semantic webs with cultural key words is rhetorically necessary for writing a translation. The application of this dynamic translation competence is demonstrated using an [email protected] Stolze (*1950), Dr. phil., M.A., Dipl.-Übers., lecturer at the Technische Universität Darmstadt TUD (Faculty for linguistics and literature), visiting professor, seminarleader, and accredited practical translator specializing in legal translation.

KRITERIEN DER EVALUIERUNG VON ÜBERSETZUNGEN
No full textFor to define something as a "translation error" and, if necessary, to sanction it, a reference point is needed. Here the three dimensions of signs in use according to the Organon model of language (BÜHLER 1934) can be usefully applied: referent – symbol – symptom.This means that when analyzing a translation, violations of the idiomatic target linguistic system may first be identified: orthography, syntax, semantics, stylistics, coherence. These five areas can be critically analyzed even without comparing them with the original, andit becomes already clear at this stage whether the text has been fully understood.Once the translation has been assessed on the basis of the five internal linguistic aspects of the text, certain so-called "manipulations" in the target text may be observed as changes to the text in comparison with the original, which can be traced back to a deliberate orunconscious decision by the translator from a text-external perspective. Certain passages might be considered inappropriate for the target recipients. This can hardly be labelled an "error", as there is no reference point for what would be "correct". Such areas oftranslational deviation from literalness include functional purpose, a particular political ideology, a time-bound interpretation, formal associations of words, or artistic adaptation. 
Benchmarks of translation evaluation in didactics
No full textThe evaluation of translations intends to assess the quality of those texts. However the perspectives on quality by the translator trying to formulate a translation, by a client who pays for it, and by the translation teacher who has to evaluate the learning progress, are different. Classroom evaluation is based on a static text analysis, while the client has a prospective interest in translations to use them functionally for proper interest. The translator applies a dynamic strategy in search of an adequate formulation. All three perspectives on translation quality can be subsumed under one model of the translational categories.A avaliação de traduções visa medir a qualidade dos textos traduzidos. Contudo, o tradutor que tenta formular a tradução, o cliente que paga por ela e o professor de tradução que tem de avaliar o processo de aprendizagem têm perspectivas diferentes em relação à qualidade. A avaliação em sala de aula baseia-se na análise estática do texto, ao passo que o cliente tem um interesse prospectivo pelas traduções, já que sua intenção é usá-las funcionalmente a fim de atender seus próprios interesses. O tradutor, por sua parte, emprega uma estratégia dinâmica na busca de uma formulação adequada. Essas três perspectivas acerca da qualidade de traduções podem ser reunidas sob um modelo único das categorias tradutórias
The hermeneutic approach in translation
Full text linkThe process of translating is an intercultural activity enabling
communication among people. The mediation of messages across language boundaries is carried out by translators as individuals with linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Translation Studies therefore develop and describe the translator’s competence. The basic principles of translation which seem to have the status of eternal truths, as Snell-Hornby (1992: 9) put it with reference to Alexander Tytler, “might be identified as follows: mastery of both source
and target language, knowledge of the material, ease of style and an understanding of the author’s message.” These principles of translation, serving as an approximation of the translator’s competence, point to the underlying priority in translation, i.e. the necessity of understanding a text prior to proceeding further. How is that understanding possible?The process of translating is an intercultural activity enabling
