Foreignization and Domestication Ideology of Indonesian Cultural Terms in Janda Dari Jirah Translated into English

This study aims to identify and analyze the categories, translation methods, and translation ideology of Indonesian cultural terms in the novel Janda Dari Jirah translated into The Widow of Jirah. The method of collecting the data in this study was observation, meanwhile descriptive qualitative method was applied in analyzing the data. The theories of cultural categories, translation methods, and translation ideology were used to analyze the data. There are five categories of cultural terms found in the novel. Moreover, the translation methods applied by the translators were word-for-word translation, literal translation, faithful translation, semantic translation, adaptation, free translation, and idiomatic translation. With regards to the translation ideology, foreignization was more dominantly applied than domestication.

Cultural differences in vocal emotion recognition: a behavioural and skin conductance study in Portugal and Guinea-Bissau

Cross-cultural studies of emotion recognition in nonverbal vocalizations not only support the universality hypothesis for its innate features, but also an in-group advantage for culture-dependent features. Nevertheless, in such studies, differences in socio-economic-educational status have not always been accounted for, with idiomatic translation of emotional concepts being a limitation, and the underlying psychophysiological mechanisms still un-researched. We set out to investigate whether native residents from Guinea-Bissau (West African culture) and Portugal (Western European culture)—matched for socio-economic-educational status, sex and language—varied in behavioural and autonomic system response during emotion recognition of nonverbal vocalizations from Portuguese individuals. Overall, Guinea–Bissauans (as out-group) responded significantly less accurately (corrected p < .05), slower, and showed a trend for higher concomitant skin conductance, compared to Portuguese (as in-group)—findings which may indicate a higher cognitive effort stemming from higher difficulty in discerning emotions from another culture. Specifically, accuracy differences were particularly found for pleasure, amusement, and anger, rather than for sadness, relief or fear. Nevertheless, both cultures recognized all emotions above-chance level. The perceived authenticity, measured for the first time in nonverbal cross-cultural research, in the same vocalizations, retrieved no difference between cultures in accuracy, but still a slower response from the out-group. Lastly, we provide—to our knowledge—a first account of how skin conductance response varies between nonverbally vocalized emotions, with significant differences (p < .05). In sum, we provide behavioural and psychophysiological data, demographically and language-matched, that supports cultural and emotion effects on vocal emotion recognition and perceived authenticity, as well as the universality hypothesis.

Translation of Idioms: How They are Reflected in Movie Subtitling

Idiomatic expressions are expressions with a figurative meaning different from their literal meaning, and therefore, they cannot be understood literally. This study aims to scrutinize some aspects of the translation of idiomatic expressions in a mystery movie entitled ‘Murder on the Orient Express’. Seventy-seven idiomatic expressions were found in the movie. The idioms can be categorized as follows: keywords with idiomatic uses (16) idioms with nouns and adjectives (2), idiomatic pairs (1), idioms with prepositions (7), phrasal verbs idioms (26), verbal idioms (5), idioms from special subjects (1), idioms with key words from special categories (16), and idioms with comparison (3). Phrasal verbs idiom was the most frequently occurred because idioms are mostly organized by verb comprising the combination of verb and preposition or verb and adverb. Further, the rendering of the idioms from English as the Source Language (SL) into Indonesian as the Target Language (TL) employed some strategies; translation by paraphrase was the highly frequent translation strategy. The strategy of using an idiom of similar meaning but dissimilar form was also located in the high-frequency position of the continuum. Furthermore, using an idiom of similar form and meaning and translation by omission were the translation strategies of low frequency. Translation by paraphrase was frequently used because the translator wanted to convey the meaning as clearly as possible while also considering the cultural difference between SL and TL. To sum up, the idiomatic expression dominantly used in the movie was phrasal verbs (34%), while the strategy that was mostly applied in translating them was translation by paraphrase (56%).

ENGLISH IDIOMS TRANSLATION’S SPECIFICATIONS IN UZBEK LANGUAGE

Abstract. The given article aims to determine and systemize the semantic and phonological transition of English idioms into Uzbek language by means of translation, taking into account the lingua-cultural peculiarities of these two languages, that are represented here as main objects of my research. Methods. This research comprises two key methods of translation, that are called literary translation and consecutive translation. The specificity of literary translation of English idiom expressions into Uzbek and Russian from the point of view of the maximum possible preservation of their, first of all, semantic, and then lexical, and linguistic content is revealed. The possibilities of adequate transmission of meanings and images, mechanisms and principles of literary translation of idioms, as well as the use of a comparative method to achieve the assigned tasks are considered. The main task of the comparative method is to compare the system and structure of languages for various linguistic characteristics. In essence, the comparative method is equivalent to typological study of languages

Translation of the Lampung Language Text Dialect of Nyo into the Indonesian Language with DMT and SMT Approach

Research on the translation of Lampung language text dialect of Nyo into Indonesian is done with two approaches, namely Direct Machine Translation (DMT) and Statistical Machine Translation (SMT). This research experiment was conducted as a preliminary effort in helping students immigrants in the province of Lampung, translating the Lampung language dialect of Nyo through prototypes or models was built. In the DMT approach, the dictionary is used as the primary tool. In contrast, in SMT, the parallel corpus of Lampung Nyo and Indonesian language is used to make language models and translation models using Moses Decoder. The result of text translation accuracy with the DMT approach is 39.32%, and for the SMT approach is 59.85%. Both approaches use Bilingual Evaluation Understudy (BLEU) assessment.

Analysis of Indonesian Students’ Language Transfer of English Idiomatic Sentences

The complexity of transferring language might mislead students as translators to mistranslate texts due to errors. Errors can be in the form of a message (meaning) or language, which also consists of grammar and lexicon. Transferring language also needs consideration of equivalent language transfer from the source language (SL) to the target language (TL). The present research identifies the error types, the source of errors, and the types of idiomatic translation that were done by English Department students of University of Islam Malang. The subjects of the research were 77 of the fifth semester students who took Translation course. The core data of this research were the students' translation works from English to bahasa Indonesia and unstructured interviews. This study employed a descriptive qualitative design. The data of the research were obtained from the result of the students' translation during the course. The data obtained also showed that more students commit errors on language than errors on message. The errors of language exist in the form of lexical aspect; they are conjunction, verb, and noun. In addition, the source of errors tends to happen because of the interlingual factors than the intralingual factors. The idiomatic transfer from the source language to the target language was done by shifting the meaning of idiom, instead of through word to word translation.

Entre la convención y la creatividad. Unidades fraseológicas con la palabra corazón en la traducción polaca de la novela “El amor en los tiempos del cólera”

El presente estudio investiga la traducción de las expresiones fijas que contienen la palabra corazón en la versión polaca de la novela El amor en los tiempos del cólera. Esta versión de la novela nunca ha sido objeto de estudios de traducción. El estilo de García Márquez es original y artístico, pero al mismo tiempo abunda en expresiones idiomáticas, que se suman a su calidad natural y auténtica. A menudo el autor modifica intencionalmente esas expresiones. Las expresiones idiomáticas, tanto las regulares como las modificadas, constituyen un desafío para un traductor. El estudio adopta el enfoque de la Lingüística cognitiva, que ha demostrado ser adecuada y eficaz en los trabajos de traductología de Elżbieta Tabakowska (2001, 2008), Krzysztof Hejwowski (2004, 2017) y Tomasz P. Krzeszowski (2016). El análisis ha revelado algunas dificultades en la traducción de estas expresiones, debido a la falta de equivalencia en diferentes niveles: en el nivel de contenido conceptual, constructivo, grado de convencionalidad y cohesión léxica. Se analizan y discuten las estrategias utilizadas por el traductor para resolver esos problemas.

Using IndoWordNet for Contextually Improved Machine Translation of Gujarati Idioms

Gujarati language is the Indo-Aryan language spoken by the Gujaratis, the people of the state of Gujarat of India. Gujarati is the one of the 22 official languages recognized by the Indian government. Gujarati script was adopted from Devanagari script. Approximately 3000 idioms are available in Gujarati language. Machine translation of any idiom is the challenging task because contextual information is important for the translation of a particular idiom. For the translation of Gujarati idioms into English or any other language, surrounding contextual words are considered for the translation of specific idiom in the case of ambiguity of the meaning of idiom. This paper experiments the IndoWordNet for Gujarati language for getting synonyms of surrounding contextual words. This paper uses n-gram model and experiments various window sizes surrounding the particular idiom as well as role of stop-words for correct context identification. The paper demonstrates the usefulness of context window in case of ambiguity in the meaning identification of idioms with multiple meanings. The results of this research could be consumed by any destination-independent machine translation system for Gujarati language.

College English Teaching between Chinese and English Idioms

An idiom is a phrase which is an established and fixed part of a particular language. Idioms are the essence of language and they bear the cultural characteristics and cultural information of a nation. The culture differences reflected in idioms are mainly shown in four aspects. They are differences in context, custom, religion and history. Idioms’ characteristics have a close relationship with source. The two languages between Chinese and English have some similar cultural characteristics. These differences and similarities make translation of idioms quite difficult. Therefore, cultural translation methods are very important. In order to have a better transmit in idioms culture, we should avoid making mistakes in idiom translation. English-Chinese translation is one of the important means of learning English, especially the translation of English idioms. Translators often need careful scrutiny, should not take the words literally. Making the translation of idioms is in line with the idioms using habits, but also with their implied meaning. This paper tries to analyze some idioms from the background knowledge. Therefore, discussion on correct understanding idioms is an important prerequisite for translation.

Dynamic Phrase Generation for Detection of Idioms of Gujarati Language using Diacritics and Suffix-based Rules

Gujarati is the language used for everyday communication in the state of Gujarat, India. The Gujarati language is also officially recognized by the constitution and the government of India. Gujarati script is based on the Devanagari script. An idiom is an expression, phrase, or word that has a different meaning from the literal meaning of the words in it. Idioms represent the cultural heritage of Gujarati language. Idioms are used in Gujarati language for effective communication and convey of an accurate message. No Machine Translation System does the accurate translation of Gujarati idioms to English or any other language. Different idiom phrases can be generated by adding diacritic(s) as well as suffix to the root or base form of the idiom. Many forms of single idiom make automatic idiom identification as well as machine translation more challenging. This paper focuses on the design and implementation of diacritics and suffix-based rules for dynamic phrase generation and detection of idioms of Gujarati language. This implementation helps in identifying Gujarati idiom present in any possible form in the Gujarati text. The obtained results with the execution of 7050 different Gujarati idiom phrases yield an accuracy of 99.73%. The results are encouraging enough to make the proposed implementation useful for Natural Language processing tasks related to Gujarati language idioms.

Translation of Idioms and Metaphors in Hasan Erkek’s Play Eşik: Difficulties and Solutions

TThis paper presents a discussion of the strategies adopted to translate the idioms and metaphors from Turkish into English in Hasan Erkek’s play Eşik. The translation of Eşik – translated into English as Threshold – provides a great many examples of linguistic devices, which led translators to adopt various translation decisions on the line between closeness to the original and closeness to the target culture. This study focuses on the idiomatic and metaphorical expressions that constituted difficulties in the translation. For the purpose of this study, Baker’s (2017) typology of strategies provided a framework for explaining the translation decisions as this typology was specifically developed for the translation of idioms and fixed expressions. In translating a play there are certain factors such as making it performable for actors and making it immediately understandable for the audience. While moving back and forth between target- and source-orientedness, the translation solutions were also required to set the balance between performability and understandability. Thus, rather than opting for a general approach applicable to the whole text, the translators dealt with each specific case in its own right and in its specific context. In this paper, the various strategies used in the translation of the idiomatic and metaphorical expressions in Eşik into English were analysed in consideration of Nord’s functionality and loyalty principles.

IDIOMATIC EXPRESSION TRANSLATION STRATEGY IN RHONDA BYRNE’S BOOK THE MAGIC

One of the problems in translation is idiom. Idiomatic expressions are unique because their structures cannot always be translated literally and even tend to form new meanings. This research aims to analyze the strategy of English idioms translation in Rhonda Byrne’s book The Magic which was translated into Indonesian entitled The Magic by Susi Purwoko and to find out the most dominant strategy used by translator.

English - Indonesian Translation of Idiomatic Expressions Found in The Adventure of Tom Sawyer: Strategies Used and Resulted Equivalence

This study was focused on the analysis of idiomatic expressions translated from English into Bahasa Indonesia from novel “The Adventure of Tom Sawyer. The analysis included on the translation strategies utilized by translator in transferring idiomatic expression and the relationship toward translation strategies and equivalence of idiomatic expression translation. The results of the study showed that (1) free translation strategy became the frequent strategy used by the translator of the novel which led to the conclusion that in rendering idiomatic expression in the children literary book was mostly done by re-creating the idiomatic expressions in the target language. (2) the translator tended to re-create the words and phrases in the target language neglecting the words and grammatical units of source language in order to get the similar meaning and essence of the source language (3) the use of translation strategies in the translation of idiomatic expression had close relationship with the resulted equivalence of idiomatic expression in Indonesian. In translating the idiomatic expression, it is better if the translator knows the context of the situation where the narrator tells about the story in the novel to improve the quality of the translation. In addition, it is also recommended that the use of translation strategy in rendering idiomatic expression should be based on the genre of the text and also the target readers in order to achieve best quality of equivalence.&#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D;

The Translation of Idioms by Idiomatic Equivalent

Fixed expression and idioms are part of the translated discourse. They are ready -made constructions that summarize an idea or a concept by using outstanding formulas. Translate these expressions is a big challenge for the translator. Thus, a well done translation does not mean mastering the linguistic skills of both languages, since the text does not contain just linguistic facts. It is also about culture, emotions, connotations, style and the author’s genius. Formulaic language often presents significant issue in translation just as well as finding a fixed expression as equivalent.
