Germanistikabsolventen/-innen am Servicedesk – Chancen oder Schwierigkeiten für das Fach?

Author(s): Beata Grzeszczakowska-Pawlikowska / Language(s): German Publication Year: 0

The training of German teachers at Polish universities is no longer as self-evident as it was in the 1990s – ever fewer students are taking courses in German as a Foreign Language. There are many reasons for this trend: on the one hand the hegemony of English as a global language, the decline in the demand for teachers of German and the corresponding demographic low; on the other, the miserable pay conditions for Polish teachers and comparatively high salaries in the business sector. It is therefore not surprising that an increasing number of university students of German wish to develop careers as specialists in various economic sectors. This is especially the case as the demand for employees with a knowledge of German is currently particularly high. This raises the question of what the employment market means in concrete terms for degree programmes in German at Polish Universities. Should prevailing market conditions be seen as an opportunity to reorientate a subject that is currently attempting to protect established disciplinary norms or do they rather constitute a challenge, for example to (still) traditionally socialised university lecturers employed in arts and humanities disciplines? This paper will explore these questions.

Author(s): Joanna Konieczna-Serafin / Language(s): German Publication Year: 0

The article discusses mediostructures in bilingual Polish-German and German- -Polish LSP dictionaries. The first part presents the structure of dictionary references and two types of mediostructures, namely, internal and external, which stems from the intertextuality of the dictionary. Then, on the example of selected entry articles, means functioning as the internal and the external mediostructure were examined, i.e. graphic symbols, abbreviations and references to sources in two bilingual dictionaries. The study shows that the presented dictionaries have different reference systems and thus offer the user unequal information on the level of other structures of the dictionary, that is, the micro- and the macrostructure.

タとテイルの形容詞的用法の習得に関する横断的研究―トルコ人日本語学習者を対象として―

Author(s): Esra Kira / Language(s): Japanese Publication Year: 0

There exists a case in Japanese that an adjectival form, in which a verb attaches in predicate position, can be replaced with a different adjectival form in prenominal position. For instance, an adjectival verb with –teiru in predicate position appears with –ta in prenominal position in principle. This type of –ta and –teiru adjectival reading is called “adjectival –ta/–teiru.” Form alternation by structural position does not exist in Turkish. In Turkish, the counterpart – Ik has only an adjectival function as –teiru, while –mIş has both adjectival and verbal functions as –ta. This can cause learners to make –Ik correspond to – teiru and –mIş to –ta. The similarities and differences as stated above often make acquisition of adjectival forms difficult. Moreover, the fact that only the adjectival –teiru is demonstrated in “Minna no Nihongo”, but not adjectival – ta and its alternation, poses a problem for the first step of language acquisition. In this study, the use of adjectival forms and factors that affect acquisition were investigated through a questionnaire study. As a result, it was found that effect of form alternation and demonstrating only –teiru at beginner level cause errors in case of lower intermediate (1st&2nd year) students, while the effect of form alternation decreases. Nevertheless, teaching only –teiru affects acquisition adversely even for advanced (3rd&4th year) students. According to a result of a translation test, students in all levels translated –teiru to –Ik and – ta to –mIş, which concludes that the similarity noted can cause errors.

Bereszith Harry’ego Dudy na tle polskiej tradycji przekładowej Księgi Rodzaju

Author(s): Małgorzata Nowak / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article discusses the poetic rendering of the Book of Genesis: Bereszith, czyli Księga Rodzaju (Genesis) wierszem przez Harry’ego Dudę [Bereszith, or the Book of Genesis in Verse by Harry Duda] (Lublin 2017). Following his own translation strategy worked out for his other biblical translations, in his Bereszith, Duda employs rhymed poetry. The formal organization of the poem is that of quatrain with the ABAB rhyme scheme and the regular Polish alexandrine metrical line. The poetic language of Harry Duda’s Book of Genesis is accurate and thorough; bookish in a general perception. His stylistic solutions can at times be questionable (vernacular and dialectal word choice, some items of rare or specialist kind). These forms mostly occur in the rhyming endings of the lines and their presence need to be seen as imposed by the adopted rhyming strategy; Although the poet declares his use of „relatively contemporary language style”, his work unveils historically marked lexical and grammatical items, which add to the elevation and the tarnish of a biblical text in translation.

Adama Kazimierza Czartoryskiego uwagi o sztuce przekładu jako przejaw świadomości lingwistycznej osiemnastowiecznych elit

Author(s): Magdalena Hawrysz / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The aim of the article is a description of translation theory, which can be reconstructed on the basis of the comments scattered in the work by Adam Kazimierz Czartoryski Thought about Polish writings [Myśli o pismach polskich]. This theory is considered to be an element of the 18th century linguistic awareness of then social elites. This subject can be observed through the prism of the following issues: 1) types of translation, 2) properties of Polish, 2) relation to neologisms, including borrowings. Adam Czartoryski’s reconstructed translatological concept is mature, multi-faceted and modern not only at this time, which is determined by the fact that not only aspects of the language system are included in the translation process but also cultural and communication perspectives are taken into account. The reconstructed theory complements the linguistic landscape of the Enlightenment elite; it also provides another proof of its high level.

Esthétiques de la traduction

Author(s): Jean-René Ladmiral / Language(s): French Publication Year: 0

The translation of literary works may constitute the object of several, however convergent subjects: the poetics of translation, stylistics, literary semiotics, rhetoric, comparative literature, the aesthetics of translation, etc. Jean-René Ladmiral is in favour of the aesthetics of translation, because this is a more general category within which the other approaches may be integrated. The object of study of the aesthetics of translation will be the difference that might appear between literary genres rooted in different cultures, which may turn out to be a real challenge for s/he who translates literature. Thus, the aesthetics of translation tackles the long-standing problem of literalism. Last, in connection with the literary domain itself, the author sketches a general aesthetics of various means of translation.

Pratiques (en marge) de la critique des traductions

Author(s): Muguraş Constantinescu / Language(s): French Publication Year: 0

Translation criticism, the equivalent of literary criticism in the history and theory of translation, though convincingly put forward by Antoine Berman as a discipline in its own right, has not yet acquired a real existence in the practice of literary journals or magazines. Reflections on translation have offered some landmarks, illustrations, even directions, but they have never got very far. In exchange, we can find all around and along the borderland of this not yet fully-fledged discipline, a series of forms and practices of analysis and evaluation of the translated text as contrasted to the original and the other versions, like commentary or chronicle, which pave the way for its development. By means of exegeses or studies, which have originally been doctoral theses, translation criticism is thoroughly taken into account. In the present article, the author aims at analyzing several practices on the fringes of translation criticism in the Romanian (French-speaking) literary and academic world, in order to enlighten this important and (de)valorizing phenomenon for both translation and the translator.
