Optimization of translational competence in teaching and practice
Project no. 956 · Status: Kapanmış · 2016
Summary
In my project entitled“Optimierung der Translationskompetenz in Lehre und Praxis”, which was supported by Ege University BAP Coordination and I was the director of 16-EDB-023. It focused on the translation strategies of German sentence structures. For this purpose, I tried to identify the translation strategies from German to Turkish and to develop important guidelines in written translation practices through these strategies. Today, the cooperation between Germany and Turkey is increasing in many areas. This, of course, emphasizes the importance of translation and translation practices depending on the exchange of information. Translation plays an important role because it help sustain the exchange. This project, aims to create a scientific infrastructure by giving important clues about the translation strategies in German daily texts, technical texts and legal texts. Texts to be studied were identified as technical text types, legal texts as legal text types, and C1 language Common Framework Classification. Based on the theoretical information, it is aimed to prepare scientific background for the translation applications from German to Turkish by using the examples determined from these text types. Translation strategies are explained by prioritizing technical text translation, translation of legal text and grammatical features of daily language text translation. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the methods of translation based on the syntactic characteristics of German and Turkish translation practices. I examined the sentence types in German as syntactic and grammatical in terms of linguistics and translation studies. In addition, according to the structure of the German texts, sentence types are considered according to their structure einfacher Satz (simple sentence), Satzverbindung (connected sentence) and Satzgefüge (combined sentence) sentences with schematic depictions of translation methods were explained. In the second part of the study, experimental and control groups were formed and the methods discussed in the theoretical section were tested. It was concluded that the use of these methods in the courses would be beneficial. The aim of this study is to bring together the disciplines of translation studies and linguistics with the aim of giving priority to the functional and interdisciplinary characteristics of this study. The aim of this study is to use these findings in translation education and translation practices.
