 God to the language of man
Egyptian Hieroglyph
ancient civilizations
a distant nation to another one
The mysterious Rosetta Stone

According to the Newmark´s methods of translation, mark the option that does NOT
agree with his ideas:
Communicative translation: Tries to keep both context and language well-
balanced. Accuracy-and-balance-based.
 Unfaithful translation: Respects grammar partially. No context-based;
Adaptation: Source language converted to target language. Context-based.
Idiomatic translation: May distort nuances of meaning. Message-based;
Free-translation: Target language is the primary focus. Idea-based.

based.

Read the text below:
In the preface to one of the few volumes specifically dedicated to cognitive processes in translation and interpreting, Shreve
and Danks (1977: viii) suggest a number of initial questions that the work presented in that volume seeks to address:
1. What are the unique characteristics of translation and interpreting relative to monolingual languaging processes?
2. How are the cognitive processes of translation and interpreting the same as, and different than, monolingual
reading, writing, speaking, and listening?
3. What is the relationship between bilingual language processing and translation/interpreting
4. skill?
5. What cognitive learning mechanisms can account for the development of translation and interpreting abilities?
6. What are the important cognitive parameters of the translation and interpreting tasks?
7. What methods and models can be used to investigate the cognitive processes of translation and interpreting?
► Which field of study can the previous text be related to?

Read the texts below:
1. Human beings do not live in the objective world alone, nor alone in the world of social activity as ordinarily
understood, but are very much at the mercy of the particular language which has become the medium of
expression for their society. It is quite an illusion to imagine that one adjusts to reality essentially without the use
of language and that language is merely an incidental means of solving specific problems of communication or
reflection. The fact of the matter is that the 'real world' is to a large extent unconsciously built upon the language
habits of the group. No two languages are ever sufficiently similar to be considered as representing the same social
reality.
2. We dissect nature along lines laid down by our native languages. The categories and types that we isolate from the
world of phenomena we do not find there because they stare every observer in the face; on the contrary, the world
is presented in a kaleidoscopic flux of impressions which has to be organized by our minds - and this means largely
by the linguistic systems in our minds.

► The texts above highlights the essence of an important line of thought related to the impossibility of translating
languages due to the fact that they are modelled by cultural and social factors. Which theoretical line of thought do the
texts above refer to?
Aristotle's Poetics and Speech theory
 Sapir-Whorf's hypothesis
Roman Jackobson's intersemiotic proposal
Saussure's Lange and Parole dichotomy
Chomsky's theory of Universal Grammar
Respondido em 15/09/2020 16:54:44
Explicação:
Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf contributed to the study of psycholinguistics with the hypothesis that translation
between languages would be impossible as there are certain thoughts of speakers of a language that cannot be understood
by individuals that speak another language
 
What are the three "Cs" of translation? Mark the right option:
 culture, context and chunk of words;
capacity, career and challenge;
current, computer and calling;
canalization, can and contact.
change, care and copy;
Respondido em 15/09/2020 16:52:27
