  • Here Referred to As Class 18A (See Hyman 1980:187)
    WS1 Remarks on the nasal classes in Mungbam and Naki Mungbam and Naki are two non-Grassfields Bantoid languages spoken along the northwest frontier of the Grassfields area to the north of the Ring languages. Until recently, they were poorly described, but new data reveals them to show significant nasal noun class patterns, some of which do not appear to have been previously noted for Bantoid. The key patterns are: 1. Like many other languages of their region (see Good et al. 2011), they make productive use of a mysterious diminutive plural prefix with a form like mu-, with associated concords in m, here referred to as Class 18a (see Hyman 1980:187). 2. The five dialects of Mungbam show a level of variation in their nasal classes that one might normally expect of distinct languages. a. Two dialects show no evidence for nasals in Class 6. Two other dialects, Munken and Ngun, show a Class 6 prefix on nouns of form a- but nasal concords. In Munken Class 6, this nasal is n, clearly distinct from an m associated with 6a; in Ngun, both 6 and 6a are associated with m concords. The Abar dialect shows a different pattern, with Class 6 nasal concords in m and nasal prefixes on some Class 6 nouns. b. The Abar, Biya, and Ngun dialects show a Class 18a prefix with form mN-, rather than the more regionally common mu-. This reduction is presumably connected to perseveratory nasalization attested throughout the languages of the region with a diachronic pathway along the lines of mu- > mũ- > mN- perhaps providing a partial example for the development of Bantu Class 9/10.

  • 'Translating' Emotions: Nationalism in Contemporary Greek Cinema
    ‘Reading’ and ‘Translating’ Emotions: Nationalism in Contemporary Greek Cinema by Sophia Sakellis A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Research) Department of Modern Greek and Byzantine Studies The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences University of Sydney October 2016 ABSTRACT This study explores emotions related to nationalism, and their manifestations in contemporary Greek cinema. It also investigates the reasons and mechanisms giving rise to nationalism, and how it is perceived, expressed and ‘translated’ into other cultures. A core focus within the nationalist paradigm is the theme of national identity, with social exclusion ideologies such as racism operating in the background. Two contemporary Greek films have been chosen, which deal with themes of identity, nationalism, xenophobia, anger and fear in different contexts. The study is carried out by drawing on the theories of emotion, language, translation and cinema, to analyse the visual and audio components of the two films and ascertain their translatability to an Australian audience. Both films depict a similar milieu to each other, which is plagued by the lingering nature of all the unresolved political and national issues faced by the Greek nation, in addition to the economic crisis, a severe refugee crisis, and externally imposed policy issues, as well as numerous other social problems stemming from bureaucracy, red tape and widespread state-led corruption, which have resulted in massive rates of unemployment and financial hardship that have befallen a major part of the population. In spite of their topicality, the themes are universal and prevalent in a number of countries to varying degrees, as cultural borders become increasingly integrated, both socially and economically.

  • 82 Post-Editing of Machine Translation Output
    Matej Kovačević, Post-editing of MT output Hieronymus 1 (2014), 82-104 POST-EDITING OF MACHINE TRANSLATION OUTPUT WITH AND WITHOUT SOURCE TEXT Matej Kovačević Abstract Post-editing of machine translation output is a practice which aims to speed up translation production. There is still no agreement on whether post-editors should have access to the source text of the translations they are post-editing. The aim of this paper is to see how access to source text influences post-editors’ quality of work and their speed. An experiment was conducted among 22 graduate students of English, who post-edited two translations produced by Google Translate. The subjects were divided into two groups, with access to the source text for only one of the translations. Task duration and the number of corrected errors in the MT output were measured. Types of errors were further analysed. Contrary to expectations, access to source text was found not to have a considerable impact on speed. As expected, it did have an impact on the quality of the final translation. 1. Introduction Machine translation (MT) systems have been available to translators for 60 years, but they still cannot produce perfect translations. This is the reason why people are still apprehensive when it comes to using such systems. The development of MT systems has introduced a practice called post-editing of MT output whereby a machine translates the text and the translator (post-editor) revises the translation. This paper will explore that practice, more specifically the issue of whether the post-editor should have access to the source text (ST) when post-editing a translation.

The promotion and development of high-speed communication systems in the global village have also provoked a sharp increase in the amount of infor- mation exchanged on a daily basis and this requires streamlined trans- lation workflows in order to meet the overwhelming demand for online contents in different languages. This new scenario does affect both, the aca- demic field and the professional practice of translation, as more and more users are getting engaged in the so-called fan translation.

  • Website Localization
    Website localization © Anthony Pym 2010 Revised January 28, 2010. Pre-print text written for the Oxford Companion to Translation Studies. Our thanks to José Ramón Biau, Yoonji Choi and Henry Wang for their input. Abstract: The localization of websites involves translating and adapting content to specific local markets. The process typically involves language technologies, and the degree of adaptation varies according to marketing criteria. Straight translation is thus only part of localization, which creates problems for the role of translators in this high- growth sector. 1. Introduction Cross-cultural communication via websites, and of the elements that comprise the individual screens of each site, is one of the fastest growing areas opened up by the era of electronic communications. The basic standard known as Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) was first proposed in 1991 and has been followed by similar technical conventions, notably Personal Homepage Tools (PHP) from 1995 and Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML) from 2005, with each technical innovation bringing greater complexity. The translation and localization of websites has thus become a lucrative, dynamic and inter-professional field, often involving marketing, design, and software engineering, as well as linguistic processes. At the same time, the development of the Internet as an interactive medium is giving rise to a series of creative non-professional translation practices. In theory, the translation part of work on websites need not be any different from any other kind of translation, since texts can be extracted from site, rendered in accordance with the required communicative purposes, then reinserted into the site. The localization of websites, however, involves more complex processes, in addition to the normal constraints and goals of translation.
