  • Strategies and Approaches in Translating Cultural Punjabi Terms

    Strategies and Approaches in Translating Cultural Punjabi Terms

    Strategies and Approaches in Translating Cultural Punjabi Terms Kulwindr Kaur alp Gurdial Singh Faculty of languages and Linguistics University of Malaya Abstract This paper discusses approaches and strategies in translating various culrnral kinship terms, sweets, jewellery etc. from English to PW1jabi. This paper will show how these precise terms are able to convey the correct ambience and flavour for an accurate translation from English to Punjabi. This experience will help develop a useful methodology in translating cultural elements, and contributes towards the general theory of translation. It will suggest using the Skopos Theory by Vermeer, Oxford's (1990) Taxonomy of Language Learning Strategies, Sager's (1994) approaches to translating, Bell's (1991) translating strategies and Abdullah Hassan and Ainon Mohd.'s (2005) techniques for translating cultural items. Introduction According to the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary (2005:302), culture means "the way of life, especially the general customs and beliefs, of a particular group of people at a particular time." Cultural is defined as "relating to the habits, traditions and beliefs of a society Snell-Hornby, (1988:40) suggests, "firstly, the concept of culture as a totality of knowledge, proficiency and perception, secondly, its immediate connection with behaviour (or action) and events, and thirdly, its dependence on norms, whether those of social behaviour or those accepted in language usage." Snell-Hornby, (1988:42) suggests that if language is an integral part of culture, the translator needs to be proficient not only in the source and target languages that helshe is translatingin but also has to be at home in two cultures.

South Asia has too many colorful nations and they owned different culture from the very beginning. Folk music is like a treasure of South Asian culture. According to history, South Asian people established themselves here as a nation (Arya) before five thousand years from today and started to live with native people. So a perfect mixture of two ancient nations and their culture produced a new South Asia. This paper explores the massive changes that happened to South Asian folk music which creates several ways to correspond to their root and how they are different from each other. After many natural disasters and political changes, South Asian people faced many socio-economic conditions but there was the only way to share their feelings. They articulated their sorrows, happiness, wishes, prayers, and love with music, celebrated social and religious festivals all the way through music. As a result, bunches of folk music are being created with different lyric and tune in every corner of South Asia.

  • Dr. Gurnam Singh

    Dr. Gurnam Singh Better known for promulgation and performance of Gurmat Sangeet, Dr. Gurnam Singh’s Punjabi Lok Sangeet Virasat (Heritage of Punajbi Folk Music), published by Punajbi University Patiala, is not just another book. It is a massive work done at a very crucial time with affection and involvement. Being very diminutive of music-writers, we don’t have many standard publications on Punjabi musicology. The practitioners have been doing their job for centuries on end but nobody thought of recording their activity in a proper perspective. The state level art bodies have neither resources nor vision to strike in this direction, while the national bodies are more bothered to locate the similarities in various traditions to prove the so-called unity in Indian diversity. The present volume is a refreshingly unique outcome of tough, unswerving and premeditated labour of 10 years, coupled with the sincerity and cooperation of so many scholars and artists. It’s based upon workshops, live formal and informal performances, and, interactions of cultural, literary and scholars of music with the artists of so many fading traditions. The publication in 2 volumes of a mammoth size may go a long way in serving cause of music, dance, literature and theatre of Punjab. Till date we were at ease with the compilations of folk songs of various regions and categories, but ever since the melodies of such folk are becoming less integral part of our collective conscious, there was a worrying need of a systematic record of fading arts of traditional folk singing. And what a fabulous manner it has been achieved! Starting with role of Punjab played to enrich North Indian tradition of music with its inventive contributions in form of Gurmat Sangeet and Sufi Sangeet, Gurnam Singh deals extensively with folklore of Kavishri, Dhadhi-singing, Puadhi Akharha, Gugga Gayaki, Toomba-Tara, King and Toombi-singing in the first volume.
