  • Translating Degrees and Academic Titles Abbreviations: Challenges and Perspectives
    Slađana Milinković TRANSLATING DEGREES AND ACADEMIC TITLES ABBREVIATIONS: CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES SLAĐANA MILINKOVIĆ Th e Court Interpreters and Translators Association of Serbia E-mail: [email protected] Egyetemi fokozatok és tudományos címek rövidítéseinek fordítása: kihívások és perspektí- vák. Az ember társas lény, ezért természetes szükséglete a kommunikáció. Az emberi kommuni- káció fontosságát már évezredekkel ezelőtt felismerték, és gyökerei sokkal messzebbre nyúlnak vissza, mint amiről az írott történelem beszámol. Az emberi kommunikáció alapja az együttmű- ködés és a közös szándék, ahogy azt az antroposzemiotika is tanítja. Idáig azonban hosszú utat kellett bejárni. „Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος”,1 tanítja a Biblia, de az igét meg kell hallgatni, és terjeszteni kell. Minél messzebbre kellett eljutnia, annál fontosabb volt, hogy valamilyen módon lejegyezzék. És az em- ber másik természetes szükséglete, hogy nyomot hagyjon a világban – valamilyen képpel, szám- mal vagy betűvel. Nézzük meg röviden ennek a történetét. Kulcsszavak: latin nyelvű oklevelek, egyetemi fokozatok fordítása, tudományos címek rövidítése, bírósági tolmácsolás, a terminológia alakulása Since man is a social being, one of his innate needs is the desire to communicate. Th e importance of human communication has been recognised for thousands of years, far longer than demonstrated through recorded history. Human communication is rooted in cooperative and shared intentions, as anthroposemiotics teaches us. But it was a long road to get us here. “Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος”, the Bible has taught us, but it has to be heard and spread. Th e further it needed to go, the greater was the need to record it in some way. And the second man’s innate need was to make a mark in the world – with a picture of some kind, a certain sign, numeral or letter.

Law subjects were first introduced in 1932 after the Senate had decided on 11 November 1931 to accept the recommendations of a commission which had to examine the possibilities of adding law subjects for the BA degree.1 The newly found Law Faculty held its first meeting on 4 August 1965.2 2 A vibrant faculty Today, fifty years later, the Law Faculty of the North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, is a highly esteemed and vibrant law school. With 1 210 undergraduate students in 20153 the Faculty is still one of the smaller faculties in South Africa, but according to the Dean, Prof Nicola Smit,4 being smaller means that the staff personally know the students.5 Despite being one of the smaller law faculties, it is noted in international circles. Prof Willemien du Plessis6 says that the Faculty draws more post-doctoral researchers than the bigger law faculties. Currently there are 36. As far as postgraduate students are concerned, the Faculty has also become a sought after destination. Currently 30 LLM students and 28 doctoral students registered in HS Gouws.

  • Index of File Material on Unproven Methods of Cancer Management
    J A Index of American Cancer Society File Material on UNPROVEN METHODSofCANCER , MANAGEMENT ® AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY 1972 INTRODUCTION The American Cancer Society Committee on Unproven Methods of Cancer Management was established in 1955 for the purpose of reviewing the entire field of unproven cancer diagnostic or therapeutic methods. Since that time, the Committee has been instrumental in collecting, abstracting, and sunnnarizing a great deal of material dealing with new or unproven diagnostic or treatment methods, with a view to establishing and maintaining an information center which would be concerned with the collection and distribution of material in this field. As a first step in this direction, the attached Index of material in the American Cancer Society files has been prepared. The Committee has attempted to make the Index complete and compre­ hensive for the information and assistance it may render to the medical profession. Naturally, therefore, there is included in this Index the names of men and names of materials which have been recognized as proven or even outstanding in other fields, They are included in this Index because either the material has been suggested but not proven in the cancer field or the men whose work has been outstanding in other fields have made statements or written articles with reference to can­ cer which are in the unproven area. No conclusion should be drawn by •I the reader from the mere appearance of any name in this Index. Inquiry should be made of the American Cancer Society as to the material in its files before you reach any conclusions.

  • Překlady Akademickđch, Vědeckđch a Pedagogickđch Titulů a Pozic
    Překlady akademických, vědeckých a pedagogických titulů a pozic Autor: Ing. Tomáš Dulík, [email protected], klapka 2218 2. říjen 2002 1. Úvod Předně je třeba říci, že vzhledem k odlišným poměrům jsou pravidla titulování v anglo-amerických zemích odlišné od místních zvyklostí. Například „Professor” není v angličtině titulem, ale označením pozice na univerzitě – hlavní rozdíl mezi anglickou pozicí „Professor” a českým titulem „prof.” je tedy ten, že v anglo-americkém světě není v principu pozice „Professor“ doživotní. Stejně tak je tomu u titulu „doc.“, jehož anglickým ekvivalentem je „Associate Professor“. Pro ilustraci – teoreticky je možné, že při přechodu na věhlasnější univerzitu např. v USA může daný člověk z pozice „Professor“ nastoupit do pozice „Associate Professor“. Anglické tituly se tedy používají pouze pro indikaci typu a úrovně VŠ vzdělání (B.Sc., M.Sc. popř. Eng., Ph.D. – to je podobné jako u nás), ale další „stupínky“ na akademickém žebříčku už se odehrávají pouze na úrovni pozice na dané univerzitě. Proto na anglické akademické navštívence uvidíte typicky toto: James Brown, Ph.D. (=jméno+tituly) Associate Professor, Head of Center for Advanced Generation of Polychromatic Tones (=pozice) Pokud tedy chceme přeložit český titul do angličtiny, měli bychom to udělat tak, aby výsledek odpovídal těmto zvyklostem – např.: prof. Ing. Alan Kant, Ph.D. Vedoucí katedry X bychom mohli přeložit jako Alan Kant, Ph.D. Professor, Head of Department X Pozn.: podrobné vysvětlení k překladu pozic najdete na straně 2, pojednání o překládání titulů pak na straně 4. 1 2. Překlady pozic na UTB (UTB academic ranks) Názvy akademických pozic jsou určeny vnitřními předpisy každé univerzity.
