The Intricacies Of Translation Memory Tools: With Particular Reference To Arabic-English Translation, Mohammad Ahmad Thawabteh Mat
The Intricacies Of Translation Memory Tools: With Particular Reference To Arabic-English Translation, Mohammad Ahmad Thawabteh Mat
Mohammad Ahmad Thawabteh MAT
Translation Memory (TM) technology has been enjoying a good deal of popularity among translation theorists and practitioners since it came onto the market in the 1990s. A theoretical framework for TM vis-à-vis Machine Translation (MT) is first discussed. The paper then examines the applicability of a TM tool, namely Translator’s Workbench (TWB), to Arabic, and the ensuing problems as illustrated by the translation output of ten postgraduate translation students at Al-Quds University for the academic year 2012/2013. The paper reveals that beyond the translation problems with which translation is usually replete, particularly between languages of little cultural and linguistic affinity, …
The Semiotics Of Third Language In Arabic-English Translation, Mohammad Ahmad Thawabteh Mat
The Semiotics Of Third Language In Arabic-English Translation, Mohammad Ahmad Thawabteh Mat
Mohammad Ahmad Thawabteh MAT
The present paper explores how a third language is dealt with in the translation from Arabic into English, illustrated with al-Qamar il-Murabaʻ: Qiṣaṣ Ghrāibyia by Syrian writer Ghada as-Samman (1994), translated by Issa Boullata (1998) as ʻThe Square Moon: Supernatural Talesʼ (SMST). The paper adopts particularized a theoretical praxis approach. The paper argues that the third language does not occur in a vacuum, but within the boundaries of discourse with an eye to the ideology inscribed in the language we produce, viz. enhancing feministic, narcissistic and nihilistic tendencies by the Source Language (SL) author. The paper shows that the wheels …
Analysis Of Technical ʻFoul-Upsʼ: With Particular Reference To Arabic-English Subtitling, Mohammad Ahmad Thawabteh Mat
Analysis Of Technical ʻFoul-Upsʼ: With Particular Reference To Arabic-English Subtitling, Mohammad Ahmad Thawabteh Mat
Mohammad Ahmad Thawabteh MAT
A cost-effective solution in intercultural communication has been subtitling from English into Arabic for the past few decades. Subtitling stands as one of the most and oldest translation practices in the Arab World. However, the practice is done with blithe disregard for the technical dimension (e.g. space, segmentation, colour, synch etc) and polysemiotic channels (e.g. dialogue, music, picture etc). Results show ʻtwo-bitʼ technical aspect of subtitling; thus the strategies employed by film subtitle translators are questionable. Therefore, the paper argues that subtitling/translation strategies should be sought within the ambit of technical dimension of subtitling.

Currently there is no comprehensive federal legislation in the United States protecting LGBT Employees. The Employment Non-Discrimination act would rectify this by making sexual orientation and gender identity protected classes.
George Eliot's Counterpublics, Rebecca Thorndike-Breeze
George Eliot's Counterpublics, Rebecca Thorndike-Breeze
Rebecca Thorndike-Breeze
This talk works through some of the different ways that George Eliot complicates dominant Victorian conceptions of community and belonging through her varied narrative representations of intimacy and affect. I will begin with a brief discussion of how intimacy and affect operate in relation to nineteenth-century realism; then I will explore some of the ways in which the Victorian ideal of an imagined sympathetic community works as an aspirational Victorian narrative of intimate belonging, and how in Eliot’s hands this ideal community works as a potential counter-narrative of intimacy, making space for less-conventional intimacies, like the one she shared with …

Digital Self-Efficacy And Language Learning Enhancement In An Online Setting, Karim Hajhashemi, Alireza Shakaramia, Hassan Khajehei
Karim Hajhashemi
The importance of personal factors such as personality traits, learning strategies, self-esteem, and self-efficacy in the complicated task of language learning has been established for years. However, the introduction of computers, networks and their wide communication affordances, seem to impact many aspects of learning and teaching and particularly language learning and teaching. The storage place, manner, and magnitude of learning materials for example, have shifted from the human mind to portable digital storage places that consequently require different types of aggregation, retrieval, and usage of information. Noting the rapid communication of today through networking, ICT competency plays important roles with …
An Oblique Blackness: Reading Racial Formation In The Aesthetics Of George Elliott Clarke, Dionne Brand, And Wayde Compton, Jeremy D. Haynes B.A.H.
An Oblique Blackness: Reading Racial Formation In The Aesthetics Of George Elliott Clarke, Dionne Brand, And Wayde Compton, Jeremy D. Haynes B.A.H.
Jeremy D Haynes B.A.H.
This thesis examines how the poetics of George Elliott Clarke, Dionne Brand and Wayde Compton articulate unique aesthetic voices that are representative of a range of ethnic communities that collectively make-up blackness in Canada. Despite the different backgrounds, geographies, and ethnicities of these authors, blackness in Canada is regularly viewed as a homogeneous community that is most closely tied to the cultural histories of the American South and the Atlantic slave trade. Black Canadians have historically been excluded from the official narratives of the nation, disassociating blackness from Canadian-ness. Epithets such as “African-Canadian” are indicative of the way race distances …
Intimacy In Isolation And The Amplitude Of Reality: Virginia Woolf’S Tense Intimacies, Rebecca Thorndike-Breeze
Intimacy In Isolation And The Amplitude Of Reality: Virginia Woolf’S Tense Intimacies, Rebecca Thorndike-Breeze
Rebecca Thorndike-Breeze
Virginia Woolf identifies four “dimensions” of human life: “I mean: I: & the not I: & the outer & the inner” (Diary 4: 353). The permeability of these dimensions is at the core of Woolf’s experiments in “re-form[ing]” the novel (Diary 1: 356). Woolf’s novels represent the simultaneously unavoidable isolation and permeability of self, other, internality, and externality; Lacan would later characterize this permeability with the figure of the Mobius strip and his concept of “extimacy,” the simultaneous position of the Other external to, yet at the core of the self. Through analyses of affectively intense representations of consciousness and …
Smeagol Versus Gollum: The Bridge Between Fantasy And Reality, Courtney C. Randall
Smeagol Versus Gollum: The Bridge Between Fantasy And Reality, Courtney C. Randall
Courtney C. Randall
Many literary critics have observed Tolkien’s work through biographical, allegorical, and source analyzing perspectives. Scholars have connected events in his literary works with events from the author’s life, but few have considered the significance of Gollum in the plot of The Lord of the Rings and his greater purpose in Middle Earth. Gollum is not what he seems and the complexity of his character can be revealed through a Jungian lens. Although he is a fictional character, he may not be so far removed from reality. This character’s split personality, as determined by the Ring, presents what could eventually become …

One Man’s Journey Through Time When Professor Winston woke up this morning he didn’t realize that he would be famous by bedtime. He woke up at his regular time, which is 6 A.M., and went about his normal routine for preparing for the day of teaching young minds how to expand their horizons. Professor Winston is a quiet, reserved man who enjoys teaching the next generation of psychologist’s how to look outside themselves to appreciate other peoples viewpoint when it relates to themselves. He also happens to be a tinkerer who has a basement full of tools which he uses …

One Mad-Man's Journey Through Time When he was a child, he would be beaten, because he looked different than the other children in the creche. Where they were straight, and strong, he was twisted, and weak. He had been born, with a birth defect that twisted his spine, and caused him to have a hump in his back. He walked different than the other children, and that caused him to be late to numerous classes, as well as, didn't allow him to participate in a lot of physical activities. The only reason he hadn't been destroyed at birth, was because …

Retroflex Variation And Methodological Issues: A Reply To Simonsen, Moen, And Cowen (2008), Janne Bondi Johannessen, Bert Vaux
Retroflex Variation And Methodological Issues: A Reply To Simonsen, Moen, And Cowen (2008), Janne Bondi Johannessen, Bert Vaux
Bert Vaux
We argue that the differences in the articulation of Norwegian retroflex consonants described by Simonsen, Moen, and Cowen (2008) as individual variation may instead be due to factors such as individual and dialectal background, rather than variation across a single variety. Our main argument is based on existing dialect literature and speech corpus data, which show that the phonemes involved in the retroflexion process are not present in the same linguistic contexts in all dialects. SMC’s experimental stimuli and conditions include linguistic contexts which do not necessarily induce retroflexion naturally, and therefore cannot be relied upon to provide an accurate …
