Practical 3

26 Setembro 2023, 11:00 • Rui Vitorino Azevedo

We reviewed Hervey and Higgins' cultural transposition and focused on their strategies for translation culture bound terms. We also reviewed a pre-translation analysis table (based on Nord's TOSTA model) and focused on some of the questions students should ask before starting a detailed translation. We read the excerpt of the short story in Practial 3 and students were asked to answer some questions based on the table covered. 

The translation was assigned for homework. 

Practical 2 reviewed

We spent the entire class reviewing students' translations of Practical 2. Our main goal was to try and adapt the text so that it was in tune with the general translation strategy adopted. We also corrected some imprecisions related to grammar and lexical choice.

Newmark and Practical 2

19 Setembro 2023, 14:00 • Rui Vitorino Azevedo

We reviewed Newmark's translation methods (general strategies) and translation procedures (specific ones). We then looked at Practical 2 which is a short story and students were asked to translate into Portuguese and discuss both the general strategy used for the text along with the specific strategies used to tackle specific problems. The translation was assigned for homework.
