Book Synopsis Translating Names in Harry Potter by : Despoina Panou
Download or read book Translating Names in Harry Potter written by Despoina Panou and published by . This book was released on 2021-11 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the translation potential of names in children's literature through the analysis of the translational patterns of names from English into Greek in the book Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. More specifically, it proposes a new name taxonomy wherein names are envisaged as multidimensional entities consisting of a thematic, syntactic, semantic and pragmatic dimension and linked with their translation potential through the detailed exploration of name-type and translation procedure. It is suggested that the extensive use of the translation procedures of transcription and literal translation could be argued to seriously affect the functions of the SL names but the claim of this book is that other equally important functions are brought to the spotlight. On these grounds, a new functional name-translation model is proposed, wherein the contextualised nature of names is foregrounded, thus pinpointing the changing status of functions depending on the communicative situation as well as the target culture's needs and expectations. This book will appeal to both undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as researchers in the fields of linguistics, literature and translation.

Book Synopsis Translation in a Postcolonial Context by : Maria Tymoczko
Download or read book Translation in a Postcolonial Context written by Maria Tymoczko and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ground-breaking analysis of the cultural trajectory of England's first colony constitutes a major contribution to postcolonial studies, offering a template relevant to most cultures emerging from colonialism. At the same time, these Irish case studies become the means of interrogating contemporary theories of translation. Moving authoritatively between literary theory and linguistics, philosophy and cultural studies, anthropology and systems theory, the author provides a model for a much needed integrated approach to translation theory and practice. In the process, the work of a number of important literary translators is scrutinized, including such eminent and disparate figures as Standishn O'Grady, Augusta Gregory and Thomas Kinsella. The interdependence of the Irish translation movement and the work of the great 20th century writers of Ireland - including Yeats and Joyce - becomes clear, expressed for example in the symbiotic relationship that marks their approach to Irish formalism. Translation in a Postcolonial Context is essential reading for anyone interested in translation theory and practice, postcolonial studies, and Irish literature during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Book Synopsis Idiom Translation in the Financial Press by : Despoina Panou
Download or read book Idiom Translation in the Financial Press written by Despoina Panou and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05-02 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together disciplines such as news translation, media studies, linguistics and financial discourse, this book addresses the issue of English-Greek idiom translation in the news press. It adopts a novel idiom-typology which draws its main concepts from psychology and gives a detailed description of the idiom-translation strategies employed in the Greek financial press. More specifically, this book explores the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic changes that idioms undergo when they are translated and proposes possible parameters that license a particular idiom-translation strategy to be used in preference to another. It is suggested that the four major tendencies dominant in idiom translation, namely idiom adherence, literalization, deletion and compensation, are determined by syntactic, semantic, pragmatic, cognitive and textual parameters. On these grounds, a new idiom-translation model is presented where it is assumed that idiom translation is genre-sensitive, thus pointing to the context-sensitive nature of idiom translation expected to influence the translation quality of genres.

Book excerpt: From J.K. Rowling, a warm, fast-paced, funny fairy tale of a fearsome monster, thrilling adventure, and hope against all odds. Once upon a time there was a tiny kingdom called Cornucopia, as rich in happiness as it was in gold, and famous for its food. From the delicate cream cheeses of Kurdsburg to the Hopes-of-Heaven pastries of Chouxville, each was so delicious that people wept with joy as they ate them. But even in this happy kingdom, a monster lurks. Legend tells of a fearsome creature living far to the north in the Marshlands... the Ickabog. Some say it breathes fire, spits poison, and roars through the mist as it carries off wayward sheep and children alike. Some say it's just a myth... And when that myth takes on a life of its own, casting a shadow over the kingdom, two children - best friends Bert and Daisy - embark on a great adventure to untangle the truth and find out where the real monster lies, bringing hope and happiness to Cornucopia once more. Featuring full color illustrations by children from across the United States and Canada, this original fairy tale from one of the world's most celebrated storytellers will captivate readers of all ages.
Book Synopsis Design, Visual Communication and Branding by : Daniel Raposo
Download or read book Design, Visual Communication and Branding written by Daniel Raposo and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-17 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights how digital communication has brought about changes in branding, namely in design, the media, communication languages, the relationship with audiences, experience design, behaviour, culture, and brand management mechanisms. On the other hand, as it argues, artificial intelligence has opened the door to other ways of dealing with big data and communicating with mass audiences, through the customization of messages or a one-to-one logic. Overall, the book shows that the intersections between digital communication and artificial intelligence point towards a new reality in brand communication, which includes computer vision, pattern recognition, and changes in the design business and in the way communication design and branding are done.

Book Synopsis J.B. Murray and the Scripts and Spirit Forms of Africa by : Licia Clifton-James
Download or read book J.B. Murray and the Scripts and Spirit Forms of Africa written by Licia Clifton-James and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-17 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing an excellent example of why folk artists can be appreciated as carriers of knowledge, even if they are unaware of it, this book could change the ways we understand and appreciate American folk arts. Connecting a sharecropper from Georgia in the Southern United States to a protector and healer in Touba, Senegal, West Africa, the holy city of Mouridism, and the final resting place of its founder, Shaikh Ahmadou Bàmba Mbàcke, it makes an interesting link while examining the cultural aspects of two very different and yet similar paths of life. Historians and art historians alike will find this investigation of African American art and folk culture both interesting and insightful. Not only does this book trace the characteristics of art through the African Diaspora, but it also traces Islam through those same diasporic transportations of colonial exploration and slavery.
