A Polite And Respectful Acceptance —— Implicit Function Of Refusal In Chinese From Pedagogical Perspective, Yawei Li

Chinese Language Teaching Methodology and Technology

This paper discusses the implicit function of refusal expressions that has been used by Chinese native speakers when responding to people’s offerings. By analyzing three conversations regarding how Chinese people have accepted people’s offerings during different time periods (1960’s, 1980’s, and 2000’s), the author argues that the verbal refusal in reacting to people’s offerings (especially gifts) does not literally mean “No, I don’t want it.” Instead, it is a way to show humility, politeness, and respect to the gift giver, and it functions as an implicit form of acceptance. By referring to three excerpts chosen from The Book of Rites …

Allophonie Et Plurilinguisme À L’École Française : Quand Dire, C’Est Déjà Traduire, Matthieu Marchadour

Al-Kīmiyā

In this article, inspired from our researches in sociolinguistics, we suggest that translation is a permanent process which is not only linked to switching from one language to another, but is also linked to the action of speaking itself. “Allophone pupils”, foreigners in a sense that they don’t speak French, are for the teachers we interviewed a kind of limit which could to be used to question the boundaries between languages and the understanding of otherness. Thus, plurilingualism and translation would not only concern foreign people who speak different languages, but also people who think speak the same language, because …

"Have You Heard The News?" : Réflexions Sur La Traduction Du Bavardage Social Dans Le Roman « Emma » De Jane Austen, Klara Boestad

Al-Kīmiyā

Translating a literary text is rarely limited to the translation of powerfully lyrical descriptions or soliloquys. In Jane Austen’s Emma, the translator is confronted with a narrative full of dialogue involving around a dozen central characters, all of whom spend most of their time happily exchanging and passing on pleasantries, news, and rumours. In this article, I will examine how gossiping has been studied in English-language and French-language literary and theoretical discourse, and whether potential metadiscursive discrepancies between the two language cultures may have an impact on published translations of the novel. We will support our argument with a …

Linguistique Juridique, Nada Kfouri Khoury

Al-Kīmiyā

Gérard Cornu G. (2000). Linguistique juridique. Éditions Montchrestien.

Le droit ne change pas, il s’adapte ; le droit ne renonce pas à ce qu’il est, il bouge. Il reste lui-même, fidèle à sa dualité qui est un équilibre entre la justice et la force. Il reste surtout fidèle à cette force tranquille qui se réalise à travers ses mots, des mots justes et forts. La linguistique juridique est au cœur du droit ; en effet, les mots et le droit sont étroitement liés. Le livre de Gérard Cornu intitulé Linguistique juridique, publié en l’an 2000, demeure toujours d’une …

Linguistic Means Of Decolonization In Dubliners: Economic And Social Contexts, Souad Khalaf, Nadine Riachi Haddad

Al-Kīmiyā

Language has the power to produce implicit interpretations revealed through deeper analysis of what readers know and what characters say explicitly. Based on many characteristics such as social and economic contexts in which evolve characters in James Joyce’s Dubliners, different interpretations can be made. These will eventually demonstrate how language can decolonize people through their attempt to change or improve their economic and social status. Knowing such contexts also helps readers understand and learn that what characters say can carry a different meaning. In fact, context reflects what surrounds the characters and to which social or economic class they …

بصمة المترجم الذاتية انعكاس لشخصيته, Nabiha Maktabi, May Hobeika Haddad

Al-Kīmiyā

This article explores the translator’s personality and its effect on the translation process which may be evident through the personal imprints he/she leaves on the text. Therefore, this subjective factor may affect his/her work and could appear through many personal characteristics that distinguish each translator from his/her peers, such as creativity and intuition. It also points out that it is difficult, or even impossible, for the translator to remain neutral. The article presents a small-scale empirical study that sought to establish a relationship between the types of participants’ personalities and the quality of their translation of one genre of text …

The Hermeneutic Interpretation And Understanding Of Meaning As The Precondition Of Phenomenological Cognition, And The Translational Transformation Of Reality, Simon Glynn

Al-Kīmiyā

Language is a system of signifiers, and of the concepts signified by them; concepts which, as de Saussure has shown, are delineated by the relations between the semiotic signs which constitute language. Thus, understood as a system of concepts, then as Wittgenstein, Quine and Derrida et al. recognized, language delineates the thoughts and understanding which it constitutes. Moreover, insofar as Hermeneutic Phenomenologists such as Heidegger recognized, and as cognitive psychologists such as Ames, and the Gestaltists, have demonstrated, our concepts mediate even our most basic perceptions, then language mediates, and thus delineates, our very experiences of the world also.

Dom Juan « Travestito », Sanguineti Traducteur Et Le Déguisement D’Un Classique, Ludovica Maggi

Al-Kīmiyā

In this article, Edoardo Sanguineti’s translation of Molière’s Dom Juan serves as a case study for a reflection on the transformative action of translation, based on the interaction of three categories: hermeneutics, temporality and orality. More precisely, the translator’s interpretative horizon – here, specifically, his vision of theatre, translation and the classic – is presented as the source of a transformative handling of orality in translation. Sanguineti’s translative orality is described as disrupted and alienating. Paratext reveals the following influencing factors: a militant function attributed to language, a performative conception of scenic language, a theoretical approach to translation based on …

Traductologie Morale : Nouveau Champ Au Sein De La Traductologie Et Notions Y Rattachées, Rhéa Hleihel

Al-Kīmiyā

In the context of the positive conditioning of the translator in conflict zones and the development of moral neuroscience, this article explains the generation of morality in the human brain and its ties with the imagination and the imaginary. Since moral dilemmas present often inconceivable and unrealistic situations, it is assumed that the reflection that these dilemmas generate, combined with practical application in the field, contributes to the moral and intellectual development of translators in conflict zones and broader areas of translation. This article first introduces the notion of the imaginary in the resolution of problems faced by these translators, …

L’Empathie : Une Composante Émotionnelle Impérative En Sous-Titrage, Mélissa Mouzannar, Gina Abou Fadel Saad

Al-Kīmiyā

The notion of empathy, so often used today in social psychology, has sparked an increasing interest in recent years among researchers in the field of translation studies. In this article, we will first examine the main historical antecedents of the concept of empathy and study how it manifests itself in translation in general and in subtitling in particular. We will then analyze how empathy, emotional intelligence, culture and translation are related as well as the fundamental role translators play in the translating process. Finally, we will investigate empathy and the translation of nonverbal cues in films.
