Medicine Featured Language: German The hronicle C A Publication of the American Translators Association VOLUME XXIX • NUMBER 3 MARCH 2000 Focus on: Medicine Featured Language: German The Features Singular Concerns Chronicle By Alexandra Russell-Bitting . 13 A Publication of the American Translators Association You would think that something as seemingly universal as adding an “s” Volume XXVIX, Number 3 or “es” to make a plural would apply systematically to both English and March 2000 Spanish, especially since they are, after all, members of the same Indo- European family of languages. But there are also instances where a sin- gular in English is properly rendered in the plural in Spanish and vice versa, not to mention a number of irregular plurals in English that even have native speakers confused. The Translator’s Dilemma: Communicating Medical Terminology By Clancy J. Clark . 14 With recent trends in the development of national standards for cul- turally and linguistically appropriate services in health care, there is an increased need for trained interpreters and translators. To meet this demand, The Cross Cultural Health Care Program developed and translated a medical glossary series in Amharic, Somali, Spanish, Tigrigna, and Vietnamese. The article discusses the challenge of translating medical terminology when direct linguistic equivalents do not exist, and how these translated medical glossaries accommodate for this difficulty. Health Care Interpreting—An Emerging Discipline By Cynthia E. Roat . 18 Focus on: Medical interpreting, or health care interpreting as it is sometimes Medicine called, is just emerging as the most recent discipline among the inter- preting professions.

  • Mimesis: Foot Washing from Luke to John
    Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses 92/4 (2016) 655-670. doi: 10.2143/ETL.92.4.3183465 © 2016 by Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses. All rights reserved. Mimesis: Foot Washing from Luke to John Keith L. YODER University of Massachusetts at Amherst Introduction In this paper I argue that the Foot Washing of John 13,1-17, as literary composition, is a mimesis of the Sinful Woman narrative of Luke 7,36-501. Maurits Sabbe first proposed this mimetic association in 19822, followed by Thomas Brodie in 19933 and Ingrid Rosa Kitzberger in 19944, but the pro- posal dropped from view without ever being fully explored. Now a fresh comparison of the two texts uncovers a large array of previously unsurveyed parallels. Evaluation of old and new evidence will demonstrate that this is an instance of creative imitation, that combination of literary μίμησις (imi- tatio) and ζήλωσις (aemulatio) widely practiced by writers in antiquity5. Key directional indicators will point to Luke as the original and John as the emulation. I will here examine fifteen features in Luke that are paralleled in John. Throughout, I reference the internal tests for intertextual mimesis developed by Dennis R. MacDonald: the density, order, distinctiveness, and interpret- ability of the parallels6. Since external evidence pertinent to the relative dating of the Gospels of Luke and John is scarce and subject to debate, I will not address his tests of accessibility and analogy, but will focus instead on pointers of directionality arising from the internal evidence. 1. This paper was first presented at the March 2016 Annual Meeting of the Eastern Great Lakes Region of the Society of Biblical Literature, in Perrysville, Ohio, USA.

  • Thoughts on Diegetic Music in the Early Operas of Zandonai1
    DAVID ROSEN THOUGHTS ON DIEGETIC MUSIC IN THE EARLY OPERAS OF ZANDONAI1 Diegetic music – «music that (apparently) issues from a source within the narrative» (Gorbman, 23)2 – plays an important role in Zandonai’s early operas: not only does it appear frequently, but it often pushes the action forward, eliciting responses from the characters who hear it. And some of its uses are unusual, if not unprecedented. In this essay I focus on Il grillo del focolare but make cross-references to diegetic music in L’uccellino d’oro, Conchita, and Melenis as well. Readers unfamiliar with these operas may want to consult plot summaries, for example, in Dryden (469-79). Table 1 lists the passages referred to in this essay. 1 I want to express my thanks to the Centro internazionale di studi «Riccardo Zan- donai», especially to Diego Cescotti, Irene Comisso, and Federica Fortunato for assistance of all sorts before, during, and after the conference. Thanks go also to Gary Moulsdale for his comments on an earlier version of this text, to Ann Beck- man and other friends on WM-L (my favorite online opera discussion group) for answering some questions about precedents for certain uses of diegetic music, and to Carol Rosen for having translated into Italian the version of this essay that I delivered at the conference. 2 Citations refer to the Selective Bibliography at the end of this essay. The category ‘diegetic music’ thus includes both ‘musica in scena’ and ‘musica di scena’ (for the distinction see, for example, Girardi, 101-102). That is, it may include music emanating from offstage (whether in the wings or from the orchestra pit) or on- stage in full view of the audience.

My supervisor, Professor H.K. Riikonen has accorded me generous academic freedom, as well as unfailing support when- ever I have needed it. His belief in the merits of this book has been a source of inspiration and motivation. Professor Steven Connor and Professor Suzanne Keen were as thorough and care- ful pre-examiners as I could wish for and I am very grateful for their suggestions and advice. I have been privileged to conduct my work for four years in the Finnish Graduate School of Literary Studies under the direc- torship of Professor Bo Pettersson. He and the Graduate School’s Post-Doctoral Researcher Harri Veivo not only offered insightful and careful comments on my papers, but equally importantly cre- ated a friendly and encouraging atmosphere in the Graduate School seminars. I thank my fellow post-graduate students – Dr. Juuso Aarnio, Dr. Ulrika Gustafsson, Dr. Mari Hatavara, Dr. Saija Isomaa, Mikko Kallionsivu, Toni Lahtinen, Hanna Meretoja, Dr. Outi Oja, Dr. Merja Polvinen, Dr. Riikka Rossi, Dr. Hanna Ruutu, Juho-Antti Tuhkanen and Jussi Willman – for their feed- back and collegial support.
