EquivalenceEquivalence is the central issue in translation. Its definition, relevance, and

definition, relevance, and applicability within the field of translation

theory have caused heated controversy.
Many different theories of the concept of equivalence have been elaborated within this field for the past fifty years.

EquivalenceThe most innovative theorists (Vinay and Darbelnet, Jakobson, Nida and Taber,

Nida and Taber, Catford, House, and finally Baker) have

studied equivalence in relation to the translation process, using different approaches.

equivalents: formal, semantic and situational.
Formal equivalence
Semantic equivalence.




Слайд 6 Equivalence
Formal equivalence may be illustrated by speech cases

EquivalenceFormal equivalence may be illustrated by speech cases as: The sun

as:
The sun disappeared behind a cloud – солнце

скрылось за тучей.
Here we find similarity of words and forms in addition to the similarity.

Слайд 7 Equivalence
The differences in the plane of expression are

EquivalenceThe differences in the plane of expression are determined by overall

determined by overall structural differences between Russian and English.

The use of articles in English, the use of perfective aspect, gender, forms, etc., in Russian.


Слайд 8 Equivalence
Semantic equivalence exists when the same meanings are

EquivalenceSemantic equivalence exists when the same meanings are expressed in the

expressed in the two languages in a way.
Example:-

Troops were airlifted to the battlefield-
Bойска были переброшены по воздуху на поле.

Слайд 9 Equivalence
The English word “airlifted” contains the same meaning

EquivalenceThe English word “airlifted” contains the same meaning as the Russian

as the Russian phrase перебросить по воздуху.
Different linguistic

devices (in Russian and in English /a word group and a compound word).

Слайд 10 Equivalence
“Situational equivalence”
the description of the same situation.

Equivalence“Situational equivalence” the description of the same situation. This description is not necessary semantically equivalent.


This description is not necessary semantically equivalent.


Слайд 11 Equivalence
Texts in different languages can be equivalent in

EquivalenceTexts in different languages can be equivalent in different degrees/ fully

different degrees/ fully or partially equivalent/ in respect of

different levels of presentation /equivalent in respect of context, of semantics, of grammar, of lexies, etc./ and at different ranks /word-for-word, phrase-for-phrase, sentence-for-sentence/.

Слайд 12 Equivalence
Languages are different from each other; they are

EquivalenceLanguages are different from each other; they are different in form

different in form having distinct codes and rules regulating

the construction of grammatical stretches of language and these forms have different meanings.
To shift from one language from another is to alter the forms.

EquivalenceThere is no absolute synonymy between words in the same language.

the same language.
Something is always lost / or,

might one suggest “gained”?/ in process and translators can find themselves being accused of reproducing only part of original and so “betraying” the authors intentions.

Слайд 14 Equivalence
If equivalence is to be “preserved” at a

EquivalenceIf equivalence is to be “preserved” at a particular level at

particular level at all costs, which level is to

be? What are the alternatives?
The answer hinges on the dual nature of language itself.

Слайд 15 Equivalence
Language is a formal structure – a code

EquivalenceLanguage is a formal structure – a code –which consists of

–which consists of elements which can combine signal semantic

“sense” and, at the same time,
a communication system which uses the forms of the code to refer to entities/in the word/and create signals which possess communicative “value”.


Слайд 16 Adequacy
The notion of “adequacy” is closely connected

Adequacy The notion of “adequacy” is closely connected with that of

with that of equivalence.
Some scholars identify these terms

and use them as completely interchangeable notions.
For example:

Слайд 17 Adequacy
J. Catford’s notion of “translation equivalence” is treated

AdequacyJ. Catford’s notion of “translation equivalence” is treated as “adequacy of

as “adequacy of translation”.
R. Levitsky in his article “On

the principle of functional adequacy of translation”.
V. N. Komissarov, for instance, thinks that adequate translation” has a broad meaning and is used as a synonym for “a good translation” that guarantees sufficient interlinguistic communication.

S. and T. language and speech units.
Adequate translation

- is the translation performed at the level sufficient and necessary to convey the information and preserve the norms of the TL.

Слайд 19 Adequacy
Everything said in one language can be said

AdequacyEverything said in one language can be said in another. We

in another.
We mean by contents not only logical-semantic

contents but all the information inherited in the original message including its emotional and expressive charge and stylistic peculiarities.

Слайд 20 Adequacy

Adequacy Equivalently adequate translation- is the translation when the contents of

the contents of the message and its stylistic function

are expressed by the synonymous ways.
E.g. bird cherry tree – черемуха.
In English it’s only a botanical term.
In Russian it has different emotional applications – “весна”, “любовь”.
Apart from denoting a botanical tree the word “bird cherry tree” acquired additional stylistic meaning.

AdequacyNB! Taking into consideration that equivalent is a constant correspondence that

constant correspondence that exists independently upon the context.

We have

the possibility to state that adequate translation may be non-equivalent and equivalent.

Слайд 22 Adequacy

Adequacye.g. The fresh air revived most of the men and the

men and the thought of beer at the nearest

pub stimulated sluggish pulses.
The thought of beer – мысль о пиве – equivalent translation;
- Mысль о кружке пива – adequate translation.

Слайд 23 Translation equivalents

- Absolute equivalents

Translation equivalents Y. Retsker differentiates: - Absolute equivalents – this is

– this is a case when a SL word

is semantically, stylistically and emotionally synonymous to a TL word.

E.g. geographical and proper names, technical terms, etc.

Слайд 24 Translation equivalents
- Partial equivalents the range of meaning

Translation equivalents- Partial equivalents the range of meaning does not coincide

does not coincide in two languages.

e.g. character (British

– 2 meanings, Russian - 1 meaning);
differentiation – рука: hand, arm.


Слайд 25 Translation equivalents
Apart from equivalent lexis there are non-equivalent

Translation equivalentsApart from equivalent lexis there are non-equivalent or culture loaded

or culture loaded words.
They define objects, processes, realia.
e.g.

the House of Commons, peerage.
Equivalence is functional coincidence between the source and the target text.

Слайд 26 The levels of equivalence according to V.Komissarov
The first

The levels of equivalence according to V.KomissarovThe first level includes the

level includes the translation in which the degree of

semantic similarity with ST is the lowest.
e.g. Maybe there is some chemistry between us that does not mix.
Бывает, что люди не сходятся характерами.

Слайд 27

A rolling stone gathers no moss.Кому дома не сидится, тот добра

сидится, тот добра не наживет.

That’s a pretty thing to

say.
Постыдился бы!

of ST have no direct correspondences in TT. But there is a greater proximity of context.
e.g. He answered the phone.
Он снял трубку.

PRAGMATIC ASPECT OF TRANSLATIONPragmatics is the relationships between the word and

the word and its users.
Pragmatic relations are superimposed on

semantic relations and play an equally important role in analyzing the original text and in producing an equivalent text in the TL.

aware of the fact whether the message is a

statement of the fact, a request, an entreaty or a joke.
Very often the speaker’s communicative intentions differ from what the message really states.

All kinds of texts were classified depending upon their

orientation towards different types of receptors.
1). Texts intended for domestic consumption:
e.g. local advertising, local legislation, home news.
2). Texts intended for foreign consumption – propaganda, advertising for foreign receptors.

PRAGMATIC ASPECT OF TRANSLATIONTypically in written translation translator deals with texts

deals with texts intended for TL audiences and, therefore,

subject to pragmatic adaptation.
Each word or text is able to have certain pragmatic influence (communicative effect) upon the receptor.
