Literary texts use language units and tools of almost all styles and are all included in the literary system. Translation as a process of rewording the speech from the source language into the translation language, without changing the content, its idea, gives us the possibility to say that all relations between lingual lexical units of two or more languages can be divided into three main types. In this case, we can speak about the similarities and non-similarities language units between two or more languages. These similarities and non-similarities of language units require from the translator the use of translation transformations. Through the method of comparing the original text with the translated text, we can discover the linguistic elements added, removed or altered in translation. The discovery of these elements during the translation indicates the way the text is handled by the translator, the way it is used to overcome the difficulties encountered and the translation method used by him. This also enables us to distinguish the relations between lingual lexical units and the way of surpassing the difficulties that occur as a consequence of their non-similarities Recognizing the variants of translation transformations and the way they are used, remain one of the key factors in the translator's success.","PeriodicalId":106963,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Linguistics and Translation","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129644903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has been made possible through translation and localization of software products and Applications so that firstly, people can access those products and Applications in the language that they understand better and secondly, the products and sites are packaged in the form that is acceptable by the target culture. In order to deliver properly localized products and Applications, the role of the localization translator as an expert in linguistic and cultural mediation is crucial. This paper looks at perspectives and strategies employed by localizers to localize some of Google software products and Internet sites. This is done from the point of view of Translation Studies and particularly from the communicative-functional approach to translation. The paper looks into the linguistic, mechanical, cultural and other translatorial dimensions to translations that play out to facilitate the communicative function of Google’s software products that have been localized in Kiswahili.","PeriodicalId":106963,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Linguistics and Translation","volume":"147 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134367737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, note-taking skills do not receive a fair amount of attention in interpreting textbooks, previous studies on and textbooks of consecutive interpreting usually overemphasize the individuality of the note-taking method and symbols system while neglecting the regularity and universality underpinning the note-taking system. This paper addresses this neglected aspect of consecutive interpreting note-taking textbook research and chooses four major note-taking textbooks published in China, comparing and analyzing their merits and demerits in terms of their positioning, theoretical elaboration of note-taking skills and the choice of note-taking practice materials etc. Four suggestions are presented as the findings of this study: 1). Clarify textbook positioning. 2). Combine note-taking techniques with selected exercise topics. 3). Diversify training materials and training methods. 4) Offer audio or video practice material so as to form a three-dimensional note-taking textbook system, which may hopefully provide some food for thought for the further compilation, development and research of note-taking textbooks.","PeriodicalId":106963,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Linguistics and Translation","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114367289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The following conclusions were obtained: (1) all matrix is grammatical Chinese. The carriers located in the matrix are fixed expressions, or formulaic language; most recipients are made up of two Chinese characters, a few of which are even nonwords in Chinese; Donors are closely related to famous persons, popular brands, pop songs, popular software packages, and films and TV shows, which embody popularity, modernism and prestige. (2) When a recipient is replaced by a donor, the number of Chinese characters combination is not always equal to that of the corresponding donors, for most of two-character combinations will decrease to monosyllabic English phonetic loanwords. In addition, English phonetic loanwords can derivate further both vertically and horizontally. (3) The English phonetic loanwords are used in Chinese context mainly for playful effects, low-level cosmetic effects and the marking effects of multicultural identities.","PeriodicalId":106963,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Linguistics and Translation","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122006008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since a writer’s personal beliefs have influence on her/his works, then, it was normal for Chekhov to be influence by his personal religious beliefs. This story emphasizes the idea that the life of a human is far more valuable than money and it is immeasurable. Moreover, according to the Holy Quran human life is very appreciated. In \"The Bet\", the prisoner, sleeping as the banker enters, has written a letter stating that he will leave the room just five hours before completing the terms of the bet, thereby forfeiting his right to the fortune. Identifying and understanding intertextuality plays a significant role for a better reading experience which creates new interpretations as it brings another context, idea, story into the text and also offers one way for us to understand texts more properly. Therefore, Chekhov's \"The Bet\" can be interpreted in the light of intertextuality similar to any written text in the world using intertextual forms such as parody, pastiche, retellings, homage, and allegory. Intertextual elements can be seen in the Bet especially in the lawyer's letter that the lawyer writes abandoning the bet money. The information in the letter demonstrates there is no reason for the murder anymore, because it transfers the lawyer's new found beliefs.","PeriodicalId":106963,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Linguistics and Translation","volume":"395 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122785461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research paper aimed to determining the students’ attitude and identifying main negative effects of lecturers’ use of mother tongue in English as foreign language classes at universities. This is a cross-sectional study on graduate-level students at five universities in Vietnam in October 2021. We administered a self-reported questionnaire to 385 graduate students on their attitude and practice towards the use of mother tongue in learning English from Vietnamese lecturers, and assess their perceived impacts on students’ speaking and listening skills. Descriptive analyses were used to summarize the results. Nearly all lecturers in the surveyed universities use first language in their lectures, half of respondents assumed that native language was used 20 to 50% of lecture’s time. Most students assessed the two main purposes for using first language were to convey grammar (27.8%) and difficult new words (25.8%) better. 60.0% of students agreed that it is better if both mother tongue and English are used by lecturers in English lessons. While more than half of the respondents disagreed that lecturers’ use of mother tongue impacted negatively on students’ pronunciation, 51% opposed that lecturers’ use of mother tongue limited students’ listening skills. Majority of foreign language classes in graduate level in Vietnam’s universities used both foreign and native language. Most students had a positive outlook on the impact of this dual-language system, however not being aware of the disadvantages of using mother tongue in teaching English to their speaking and listening skills.","PeriodicalId":106963,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Linguistics and Translation","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133039088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
