Food narratives are capable of performing a number of functions ranging from evoking a sense of coziness and comfort to being a cause of temptation and power struggle, and these functions ought to come under the spotlight when translating children’s books. This article focuses on the English-Greek examination of translation patterns in the Captain Underpants series and on the critical discussion of the translation strategies that have been employed for the transferring of food items to Greek children. To this end, thirty-five examples of food references are analyzed using a purpose-built schema of translation procedures. The results indicate that translators make a conscious attempt to bring foreign dishes closer to the target language culture by adopting a variety of modification and substitution procedures. This study highlights the intrinsic role that the translation tendencies of preservation, modification, substitution, expansion, transcreation, omission, and creation play in enabling food translation, thus bringing to the fore the important yet neglected area of food translation in children’s literature which can have a profound impact not only on literary but also on translational landscapes.","PeriodicalId":44441,"journal":{"name":"Babel-Revue Internationale De La Traduction-International Journal of Translation","volume":"34 4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81189426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It draws on a newly built\u0000 unidirectional comparable and intermodal corpus named the LegCo+, which features legislative proceedings in the Legislative\u0000 Council of Hong Kong (including originals and their translations and interpretations from Cantonese to English), as well as\u0000 original plenary speeches delivered by native English speakers in the UK Parliament. It investigates the variation patterns of\u0000 four simplification features in three dimensions, namely, standardized type-token ratio (STTR) and list heads for lexical\u0000 diversity, lexical density for informativeness, and average sentence length for lexical sophistication. It aims to uncover the\u0000 effects of mediation and genre, as well as their interaction effects on linguistic variation. The results indicate that texts of\u0000 different mediation statuses and genre categories vary with respect to simplification patterns. From a comparable perspective,\u0000 interpretations rely on a narrower range of vocabulary than non-interpretations, but they are also more informative, and such\u0000 informativeness is dependent on genre categories. Intermodally speaking, interpretations exhibit consistent patterns of\u0000 simplification, indicating a strong modality (or mode of mediation) effect.","PeriodicalId":44441,"journal":{"name":"Babel-Revue Internationale De La Traduction-International Journal of Translation","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85457650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article begins with a discussion of neutrality in prosody and with a contextualization of AD voicing.\u0000 It then presents an acoustic analysis of a corpus of audio descriptions in Catalan, English, and Spanish. Based on the results of\u0000 this analysis, a perception test is designed, and its results are discussed here. The perception test involves participants with\u0000 sight loss (31 in Spanish, 35 in Catalan, 40 in English) and without sight loss (29 in Spanish, 46 in Catalan, 31 in English) who\u0000 are asked to define what a neutral voice is for them. Respondents are also asked to select the male and female voices that they\u0000 consider most neutral. The qualitative analysis of the replies, together with the selection made by participants for both male and\u0000 female voices across three different languages, sheds some light on how neutrality (or non-neutrality) could be defined. The study\u0000 does not aim to determine what acoustic features voices should have in the context of audio description but tries to better\u0000 understand what a neutral voice is, considering that this has traditionally been a frequent expression in research on audio\u0000 description delivery.","PeriodicalId":44441,"journal":{"name":"Babel-Revue Internationale De La Traduction-International Journal of Translation","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81653096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Are these tasks two sides of the same coin? These are some of the questions that recent developments in machine translation have brought to translation studies. The quality of the texts rendered by the new neural engines is good enough to challenge the traditional role of the human translator. Some voices even question whether there might be any place left for translators if, in the near future, their role is finally superseded by that of the post-editor. This paper offers a comprehensive view of the many aspects of post-editing with a view to shedding some light on the nature of this task. I first explore how the progress in machine translation has turned post-editing into an essential activity. Then, I present a proposal for a categorization of research areas in post-editing within the framework of translation studies. The central discussion of this paper revolves around three key ideas: (1) the conceptualization of post-editing as more than a simple, fast and inexpensive task; (2) the framing of post-editing as a dynamic process; and (3) the claim that defining quality in machine translation post-editing is not as straightforward as it may seem. The ultimate goal of this paper is to lay the foundations for further discussion into what it is that post-editing means for translation studies.","PeriodicalId":44441,"journal":{"name":"Babel-Revue Internationale De La Traduction-International Journal of Translation","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74623977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the notable example of Njegoš’ lyrical poem A Night More Precious than a Century we presented the\u0000 specific algorithm of the decoding procedure in deciphering the complex semantics of the author’s symbol, as well as the method of\u0000 finding its translation equivalent in the Russian language. The analysis starts from the point of view of modern translatology,\u0000 linguistics, and literary studies and adequately takes into account the relevant data of Njegoshology, as an interdisciplinary\u0000 science. To elucidate the complex nature of the symbol, as a linguistic sign and its function in the literary text, as well as the\u0000 possibility of its translation into Russian, various methods were applied: contrastive, etymological, interpretive analysis in the\u0000 synchronic and diachronic plane. The conducted analysis illustrates the fundamental importance of attentively examining symbols\u0000 from various aspects, starting from the most elementary linguistic level within the source language, through the literary in the\u0000 style of the epoch and the idiostyle of the prominent writer and concluding with the interlingual translatological approach. This\u0000 multifaceted interpretation contributes to resolving the semantics of the symbol and finding its translation equivalent.","PeriodicalId":44441,"journal":{"name":"Babel-Revue Internationale De La Traduction-International Journal of Translation","volume":"69 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78712069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
