MINISTRY OF EDUCATION AND TRAINING Graduation Thesis Strategies to deal with non-equivalence at word level in translation

Related Papers

Diễm Hằng Hoàng

It is common for people to approach a foreign literature work via its translation; therefore, whether the readers can enjoy a translation text that successfully conveys the author’s intention is a question concerning many researchers. In this study, with a view to assess the quality of the translation of “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”, the researcher utilizes the schema of Translation Quality Assessment proposed by House. The application of House’s Translation Quality Assessment shows that though the translation text achieves some success and in most cases, conveys the author’s message, it still reveals a number of mismatches in comparison with the source text. Among which inability to render America- African vernacular language is a great loss of the target text. In addition, the ideational component of the translation text is also affected by overtly erroneous mistakes. On the basis of such findings, some implications for literary translation are drawn.

International Journal of English Language and Translation Studies

Act: III, scene: 5 in Romeo and Juliet is the most favourite scene of this love story as it describes the romantic, but tragic, love of the young couple with flowery language, and is the only extract used for teaching in Vietnam. Vietnamese students, therefore, know about Shakespeare and Romeo and Juliet through the translations of this scene only. That is the reason why this study has analyzed and compared the semantic features in the Vietnamese translation of the conversation between Romeo and Juliet in Act: III, scene: 5 of Romeo and Juliet by Dang The Binh, and the translation by Bich Nhu and Truong Tung with Shakespeare's original English text. Based on the analysis, a suggested translation with explanations will be introduced to clarify its points of difference from the other two translations. It is found that Omission is the most typical strategy appeared in the translations and the poetic features of the original text have also not been translated successfully.

Equivalence has been the central concern in Translation Studies and always challenges the translator's abilities. Equivalence is also the factor determining the closeness of target text (TT) to the source text (ST). By applying the theories suggested by Vinay and Darbelnet, Nida and Taber, Catford, Baker, House and Pym, as well as the qualitative method to describe the semantic features of the ST and the TT, this study has investigated and compared the Shakespeare's English and the Vietnamese translation of Romeo and Juliet by Dang The Binh to find out the levels of equivalence in regards to semantic features. It has been found that both objective and subjective factors, in which language differences, culture and the translator's ability are the keys affecting the orientation of choosing equivalents of the translator. It is, therefore, no unique type of equivalence in the Vietnamese translation, but the mixture of dynamic equivalence and formal equivalence. As a result, the translation is partly covert and also partly overt.

Van Nhan Luong

Translation has never been an easy task for translators, who can be remarkably good at languages, and speak rapidly in communication, but find themselves in difficulty even it is intralingual or extralingual translation. To have a good translation, there are both objective and subjective conditions affecting translators. This study, by applying the theories of translation strategies and translation procedures suggested by Peter Newmark, Mona Baker and other scholars, has compared and contrasted the similarities and differences as well as the changes in terms of semantic features between the Shakespeare's English and the Vietnamese translation of Romeo and Juliet by Dang The Binh. It is found that Omission is the most typical strategy used while other strategies appeared with different frequency, which objectively affects the quality of the Vietnamese translation of Romeo and Juliet.

Dr. Benard Mudogo

There exist numerous strategies of dealing with the problem of Target Language Non-equivalence in the translation of different text types. In this regard, Baker's proposed strategies for dealing with non-equivalence at the word level have been widely discussed in translation studies. Yet, no studies have ever applied her strategies simultaneously for describing and assessing the functional appropriateness in translating informative texts. This study is an attempt to compare the word-level translation strategies used in an informative text type, based on Baker's suggested strategies for attaining Target Language Equivalence at the word level. Mulembe FM newscasts being an informative text, was selected for analysis. The main question is whether the translators' word-level strategies used to attain functional Target Language equivalence in Mulembe FM newscasts can be described and assessed by Baker's framework or not. To do so, some pre-recorded transcripts from the Luhya Mulembe FM newscasts broadcast by Lukhayo, Luwanga and Lwisukha presenters were selected, and then, they were compared with their corresponding functional equivalent versions of Lukabras listeners. Then, comparisons were classified and analyzed in terms of translating using a superordinate word, using loan word plus explanations, substitution, and using a specific word to find out which strategies were used, and to show the extent of the Target Language functional equivalence in the translation of the newscasts by the presenters. The investigation was motivated by the fact that although the Luhya dialects exhibit vast lexical mismatches, Mulembe FM hiring policy is that the presenters use their dialects in the newscast translation on the assumption that the dialects are mutually intelligible. The study focuses on Lukabras listeners as representatives of Luhya listeners who have to be accommodated in the newscasts. The results showed that Bakers's procedures are nearly comprehensive and worked well for describing and assessing the translation of informative text. The emergence of vernacular FM stations is one of the most effective ways of communication to many Kenyans, especially those who cannot communicate fluently in English and Kiswahili. However, in the translation of Mulembe FM Luhya newscasts, the presenters are constantly faced with the constraints of lexical choices appropriate for the heterogeneous Luhya listeners. This is because of the lexical mismatches exhibited by the Luhya dialects. Furthermore, as observed by Kebeya (1997), there are higher cases of divergence than convergence at the word level when speakers of the different Luhya dialects communicate with each other. Lukabras is one of the dialects of the Luhya language group spoken in Western Kenya. According to Marlo (2009), Luhya is an umbrella term for some nineteen language groups of Western Kenya with varying degrees of mutual intelligibility. He lists the dialects as: Lubukusu, Luwanga, Lunyore, Lusonga, Lutura, Lulogooli, Lukabras, Lutiriki, Lwisukha, Lwidakho, Lumarama, Lukhayo, Lushisa, Lumarachi, Lusamia, Lutachoni, Lutsotso, Lunyala East, and Lunyala West. Therefore, fact that Lukabras listeners of Mulembe FM newscasts receive Mulembe FM news translated from English by Luwanga, Lwisukha and Lukhayo presenters calls for attention to the word level strategies used by these presenters to render the English versions of the newscasts into the functionally relevant TL equivalent forms. There was need to ascertain whether there is a mismatch between what was announced by the presenters and the message understood by Lukabras listeners.

Trịnh Công Sơn (1939-2001) was a song writer, musician, poet and painter. He was born in Daklak, grew up in Huế, studied in Qui Nhơn, taught school in Bảo Lộc, and then finally moved to Saigon in 1965. A heavy drinker and smoker, he died of diabetes, liver and kidney failure. He wrote over 600 songs, achieving his first hit, "Ướt mi" ["Wet Lashes"], in 1957. Joan Baez dubbed him the Bob Dylan of Vietnam. He often wrote about the ephemeral nature of life, as in the classic "Cát bụi" ["Sand and Dust"]. The singer most associated with him is Khánh Ly, whose husky, mournful voice helped to popularize his music. They often performed together on South Vietnamese university campuses. More recently, Hồng Nhung has also been celebrated for her jazzy interpretions of his songs. Trinh Cong Son’s songs are so strange, which were written by intellectual language. In another way, they are ‘weaved’ by the most beautiful words in the treasure of Vietnamese language. It takes years to understand some words or sentences in Trinh Cong Son’ songs, but not all of us can catch Son’s ideas, and some seem to be so different. Son himself created his own unique school of music which is not only very sublime but also very sweet with simple melodies. Therefore, Son’s music is also for public, in other word, it is also for all because it is easy to remember. Son’s songs will be immortal in people’s hearts not only in Vietnam but also in many countries like: France, Japan and America, etc. People love to sing his songs. Many of those songs have been translated into many languages, most of them are in English, French and Japanese with different versions. For examples: + Biết Đâu Nguồn Cội (Unknown origin) + Lặng Lẽ Nơi Này (The quiet world of mine / So silent here) + Một Cõi Đi Về (My own lonely world / A realm of return / A place for leaving and returning) + Cát bụi (Dusty sand / Sand and Dust) + Đời gọi em biết bao lần (Life has called you many times) + Em đến từ nghìn xưa (You’ve come a long time) + Gần như niềm tuyệt vọng (Something like despair) + Lời buồn thánh (Sad Sunday eve) + Tuổi đời mênh mông (In too large life) As an English teacher and a fan of Trinh Cong Son’s music, I find it very interesting to study the English translations of Son’s songs which are various with more than 70 English translated words by many people. However, up to now, just a few researches on the lyrics of the English translational versions have been found. It is clear that there are many difficulties for translators to translate Trinh Cong Son’s songs into English. Practically, clarifying the syntactic and semantic features helps us have a clear view about Son’s songs and their English equivalences and find out another better way to translate Trinh Cong Son’s songs with full ideas of writer obtained. Theoretically, more than 70 of his songs were translated into English, and many studies in the lyrics and melodies of Trinh Cong Son’s songs have done so far. However, researches on the syntactic and semantic features of English versus Vietnamese versions of Trinh have not been carried out. Therefore, it is necessary to do a research on this matter to have a total view about translating Trinh Cong Son’s songs into English. “A STUDY OF THE ENGLISH TRANSLATIONAL VERSIONS OF TRINH CONG SON’S SONGS IN TERMS OF SEMANTIC AND SYNTACTIC FEATURES” has been carried out for the reasons listed above.

Sitthichai Thepsura

Faced with the task of translating non-equivalence in which there are no readily available linguistic resources in the target language which would match that of the source language at a certain level (ranging from the word level to the sentence level), the translator has to rely on various translation strategies to handle the non-equivalence problems. These strategies have been classified by a translation expert (Mona Baker, 2011) into 7 categories which can be broadly divided into 3 groups with major characteristics including indirect translation, elaborated translation and reduced translation. Professional translators use these as legitimate ways to go through dilemmas brought about by translation of non-equivalence. In practice, however, there are cases where these translation strategies are inappropriately used which constitute mistakes rather than efficient pieces of translation. In this academic article, there are three main observations which can be used as guidelines to distinguish the appropriate use of translation strategies from the abuse of them. These include 1.) avoidable indirect translation, 2.) unnecessarily elaborated translation and 3.) excessively reduced translation. Data collected from various sources ranging from bilingual novels, magazines, signs and notices posted at tourist attractions to students' translated works have been analyzed to illustrate and establish the cases.

Abstract Translating the present perfect simple from English into Arabic through the use of (
 + the past) is not pleasing all translators because it does not always suit the context. Some scholars think that the best method is to stick strongly to this rule and to adopt it as a formal and general rule. Some others think that it is better to consider the context in order to transmit the meaning thoroughly and without distorting it. For the sake of dislodging the theory that the present perfect is always translated through the use of (
 + the past) I agree with some scholars who think that the present perfect is translated according to the context and for that this study focuses on a comparison between English and Arabic tenses and attempts to seek the best method for translating the present perfect into Arabic. It also emphasizes its use and its suggested appropriate translation in order to lift this ambiguity.

The graduation thesis is an important academic thesis for college students to obtain graduation qualifications and apply for a bachelor's degree. It has stricter regulations and is a comprehensive test to test students' theoretical knowledge and basic skills during school. How to write a graduation thesis? Let's take a look at my sharing.

1. Typography

The teachers of each main examination college usually give you a template for the thesis. Just add your own content on the template given by the teacher.

2. Topic selection

The advantage of a small range of topics

a. The research object is more clear

b. The article is not off topic

c. There are certain advantages in the defense link

Many students think that it is meaningful for me to write what no one has studied or written about. The first person to eat crab has an advantage, but it is also difficult. When other friends can't write, you can refer to the articles of the predecessors. Slightly modified on the basis of others, when further research. You can only write by yourself, if you can’t write, you can’t give up.

A brief summary of the main body of the review. The author should make a comprehensive evaluation of various viewpoints, put forward his own views, point out the existing problems and the direction and prospect of future development. It is not necessary to write a summary for a simple summary of the content.

5. References

An important part of the review. The number of general references reflects the breadth and depth of the author's reading of the literature. Different journals have different requirements for the number of references for review papers. Generally, less than 30 references are appropriate, and the latest literature in the last 3-5 years is the main one.

The so-called good start is half the success, and the topic selection is the beginning of a paper. Therefore, this article intends to talk a few words about how to determine the topic selection.

Regarding topic selection, the first piece of advice to art undergraduates is: don’t stare at topics that are too grand. For example, "modern transformation of Chinese painting", "art education in the period of the Republic of China", etc., these are not problems that undergraduates can study at all. Such problems not only require a high-level understanding, but also because they are too broad, almost no one If you can grasp the vast amount of information they involve in a short period of time, even if it is just a simple answer, the required text is at least the amount of a monograph.

Manuscript Clearance Deadlines

The Manuscript Clearance Portal will automatically calculate a student's deadlines once the " Defense Announcement Form " is submitted. Students in the manuscript clearance process should be familiar with both types of deadlines:  Semester and 60-Day.

Summer 2024 Manuscript Clearance Semester Deadlines

Initial, pre-defense doctoral deadline, june 17, 2024.

Last day for doctoral students to submit doctoral dissertation or treatise for pre-defense format review. 

Initial, Pre-Defense Masters Deadline

June 24, 2024.

Last day for master’s students to submit master's thesis for pre-defense format review. 

Final, Post-Defense Deadline (All degrees)

July 8, 2024.

Last day for the post-defense, final content-approved manuscript (all degrees) and required Manuscript Clearance Portal forms to be submitted. 

Formatting Deadline

july 30, 2024

Last day for students (all degrees) to receive an email from Manuscript Clearance Office confirming final clearance. 

Manuscripts must be submitted by 11:59 pm (Eastern Time) of the listed deadline date. Forms must be completed by the same time on the deadline date.

Explanation of Manuscript Clearance Deadlines

Initial, Pre-Defense Deadline

• The relevant pre-defense (initial) format review deadline is the date by which students must submit their manuscript to the Manuscript Clearance Advisor for a pre-defense (initial) formatting review. Manuscripts will not be reviewed and counted as an initial submission under the following conditions: 1) not submitted via the ProQuest ETD website; 2) poorly formatted based on The Graduate School's guidelines, or 3) otherwise appears incomplete (e.g., multiple sections omitted). While it is understood that content will likely change after the defense, it is expected that manuscripts submitted for the pre-defense (initial) format review are at least 90% complete and have been formatted in full accordance with the criteria in the most recent version of The Graduate School's formatting guidelines.

Final, Post-Defense Deadline

• The post-defense deadline indicates the date by which students must submit the post-defense, final content-approved version of their manuscript to ProQuest ETD and ensure completion/signatures of all required manuscript clearance forms in The Graduate School's Manuscript Clearance Portal by 11:59 p.m. ET (except "Official Final Clearance"). Although students cannot complete all forms in the Manuscript Clearance Portal directly, they are ultimately responsible for ensuring their committee has completed the needed approvals. 
• *If there are no content changes requested by the student's supervisory committee or made to the manuscript after the defense, a resubmission of the final, content-approved manuscript is still required in ProQuest ETD by this deadline. A pre-defense manuscript submission in ProQuest ETD is not sufficient in meeting this deadline. 
• Additional formatting revisions are often required after this date in order for final manuscript clearance to be completed, but content changes are prohibited .
•  The Formatting Deadline is the date by which any post-defense formatting revisions (only those required by the Manuscript Clearance Office) should be completed and "Official Final Manuscript Clearance" should be granted in the Manuscript Clearance Portal. 

Academic units may set their own deadlines in advance of these manuscript clearance deadlines. Students must adhere to their unit's deadlines in addition to those established by The Graduate School. Please consult with your Graduate Program Coordinator, if you are unsure of your academic unit's requirements.

In the absence of additional deadlines set by academic units, we strongly recommend students defend at least 1 week prior to the post-defense deadline . Missing a semester deadline will result in the student automatically becoming ineligible to graduate in the current term. While students may be allowed to defend until the semester's post-defense deadline, they should understand that ALL content changes must be completed AND approved in the Portal by their committee prior to the deadline. The finalized manuscript must be submitted to ProQuest ETD by the deadline as well.  Extensions will not be granted for students who defended late and were unable to complete any content changes in time.

60-Day Deadline  

No later than 60 days after a successful defense :

• Post-defense, final content-approved manuscript must be submitted.
• Required forms (through Final Content Approval) must be completed in the Portal.

No later than 1 week after the 60-day deadline :

• All requested formatting corrections must be complete. (Multiple reviews may be required.)
• Official Final Manuscript Clearance must be achieved in the Portal.

This deadline applies to students who :

• Defend early in their semester of expected graduation.
• Defend in a semester prior to their expected graduation.
• Missed a semester deadline after defending (resulting in delayed graduation).

University closures are not excluded from the 60 days, but deadlines may be adjusted (forward or backward) if they fall on a weekend or a day the university is closed. The deadline will be automatically adjusted in the Portal.

Future Manuscript Clearance Semester Deadlines

IPiB Thesis Defense May 30, 2024: Rachel Cueny

In a G-quadruplex, four guanines within a chain of nucleotides hydrogen-bond to each other to create a quartet of connected guanines. These G-quartets can stack together to create the G-quadruplex. These structures are associated with both beneficial and harmful processes in humans and other eukaryotes, including gene regulation and telomere regulation, and they have also been found in different oncogenes. Their role in bacteria, however, is not well understood.

“If they were detrimental for cell growth all the time, then we’d expect organisms to evolve away from having G-rich sequences which can form G-quadruplex structures,” explains Cueny. “So we want to know what purposes they serve.”

Cueny investigated how E. coli cells that were mutated to disrupt certain genes would grow in the presence and absence of stabilized G-quadruplexes. She found that when disruptions to genes slowed down translation (the process by which mRNA is used as a template to synthesize proteins), cells grew better when they were grown in the presence of G-quadruplexes.

“It’s just interesting to know more about this biological structure in bacteria and how it compares to what we see in eukaryotes,” says Cueny. “But, there are also medical reasons to investigate G-quadruplexes in bacteria. We know, for example, that G-quadruplex-forming sequences are essential for antigenic variation in Neisseria gonorrhea (a bacterial strain associated with the STI gonorrhea). G-quadruplex-forming sequences may be a key to therapeutic treatments of bacterial infections.” Her research has been published in the Journal of Bacteriology , Nucleic Acids Research , PLOS One , and Critical Reviews in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology .

Cueny came to the IPiB program with a background in structural biology and interest in the Keck Lab’s research. During her first-year lab rotations, Keck’s mentorship style and the collaborative environment of the lab excited her as much as the research. “I really just love the environment of the lab,” says Cueny. “Everyone was willing to help each other. It’s just a really great combination of strong scientists who are also good friends and good labmates. We even formed a recreational volleyball league and we’ve done 14 seasons of volleyball together.”

After graduating, Cueny plans to work as a postdoctoral researcher and eventually pursue a career in academia.

To learn more about Cueny’s research, attend her Ph.D. defense, “Genetic and Biochemical Mechanisms of G-quadruplex Processing” on Thursday, May 30 at 10:00 a.m. CT in Room 1211 of Hector F. DeLuca Biochemical Sciences Building.

On the Strategies of Graduation Thesis Writing Teaching of Translation Major Undergraduates Based on Eco-Translatology

•   Wang Lin    

Graduation thesis is an indispensible procedure for each undergraduate, which is crucial for successful graduation, employment, further study and even further development. However, due to most undergraduates’ ignorance of academic writing and the deficiency of current thesis writing course, thesis writing ability can hardly be enhanced and improved, accordingly, few good graduation theses can be produced among undergraduates. As a newly-launched major in recent a few years, translation major (BTI education, i.e. Bachelor of Translation and Interpretation) is also faced up with this problem. Eco-Translatology, a new theory combining ecology and translation studies, holds translation as adaptation and selection, which can also provide important enlightenment for thesis writing of translation majors. This paper, based on Eco-Translatology and current thesis writing course deficiency, aims to explore constructive strategies on how to give effective and efficient thesis writing course in hope of greatly improving thesis writing.

Graduate Profile: Oorja Joshi, MDiv ‘24

Memorable Moment 

The time I spent with HDS Muslims in my first year—going apple picking when we barely knew each other, celebrating Eid together, going to the nearby ocean towns, and all the chai times. 

A second moment is when Professor Rivera said yes to being my thesis advisor.  

And some of the best adventures I've had were with Eve, Coco, Fatima, Minahil, Nathan, Mayank, and Hamza. 

Message of Thanks 

There are so many people to thank. 

I would like to deeply thank my parents Akhilesh ji and Archana ji for supporting me to be here, my teachers—Professor Mayra Rivera, Professor Kimberley Patton, Professor Teren Sevea, Dr. Aaliyah El-Amin, and Professor Melissa Kelley—who I am indebted to for their teaching that opened my heart and mind even more to this world. I am very grateful for the support and teachings of my chaplain mentor Reverend Amy Fisher, and the graduate students Asma and Nazma who worked with me at SU Interfaith Center! 

I am very thankful for the love and care of my friends Eve (and Coco!), Auds, Shir, Alejandra, Minahil, Fatima, Sana, Mayank, Nathan, Fawaz, Souman, Bilal, my other Sana, Akhil, Emily, Rebecca, Michael, Azka, Hamza and so many more friends I made in the area, at HGSE, and at Boston College! 

What I hope to be remembered by 

I hope to be remembered by joyful energy, care, enthusiasm for spontaneous hanging out, love for the ocean, and always being up for creative play and fun! :) 

Future Plans 

I hope that wherever I am led, I can keep creating intergenerational communities of care, based in decolonial ethics! And that I can keep learning to love boundlessly from the ocean and the Sun.
