No Translation Summary

In Korea, there are multiple songs that are translated into English. For example, a Korean song, “Wind Blows” by Lee Sora is translated into many different versions in English. This song is tribute as one of the most beautiful song lyrics by Korean poets. Korean poets such as: Lee Min Ha, Kim Soyeon, Ha Jaeyeon, and Kim Geun (Lee, Eunjeong). The English version of this song remains in the same plot as Korean version, but when it is translated the song’s rhythm and the way song rhyme differentiate. The English version and Korean version, both represent the ballad form, but the rhythm in English version sets in iambic pentameter and Korean version sets in free verse.

Throughout history, many pieces of literature such as novels and poems have been translated from a variety of languages in order to show the stories to different cultures. Although the translations are quite accurate, many times the diction is changed based on the way the translator personally interprets the story as well as the message he or she wants to portray to their target audience in favour of their own culture (Sabouri and Karimzadeh, 123). An example of this is The Arabian Nights where the authors of the stories are unknown and were all translated from Arabic to many languages including English. Even though it was written through one perspective, once translated, the meaning was modified to promote the Western perspective of the

“Subtle measures of surprise (e.g., duration of looking toward the new sounds) are then used to assess whether the infant perceives the new sample as more of the same, or something different. In this fashion, we can ask what the infant extracted from the artificial language, which can lead to insights regarding the learning mechanisms underlying the earliest stages of language acquisition.”, according to Saffran. During this infant period, the discovered elements in sounds and gestures in language are beyond children’s understanding if only just based on intelligence. They have shown early inborn and involuntary assemblage of words and sounds, combining them into meanings without previous acknowledgements. They simultaneously crack the linguistic codes and rules surround them, integrating their capacities in learning process. Children have revealed excellent ability in solving linguistic puzzles, always surpassing other animal species in the mastery of communication in which, highly champions the theory of innateness in human language acquisition.

Language is a multifaceted instrument used to communicate an unbelievable number of different things. Primary categories are information, direction, emotion, and ceremony. While information and direction define cognitive meaning, emotion language expresses emotional meaning. Ceremonial language is mostly engaged with emotions but at some level information and direction collection may be used to define a deeper meaning and purpose. There is perhaps nothing more amazing than the surfacing of language in children. Children go through a number of different stages as language develops. According to Craig and Dunn, (2010), “Even before birth, it appears that infants are prepared to respond to and learn

Translation holds just as much value to the study of humanities and social sciences as language does by itself. Without proper translation of language, the entire message of the original story can be skewed, therefor changing it for all of time. Jorge Luis Borges (“Translators of The Thousand and One Nights”) gives a great example of this as he depicts the different variations of translation methods of The Thousand and One Nights. He speaks about how each interpreter can leave the recipient of the story with a different message. He goes on to share how some translators focus on the physical settings, some focus on the details (minute details or even a romanticized version), and some are just a pathetic depiction of the original story. The latter is made apparent by Borges openly claiming Galland’s version of The Thousand and One Nights as the weakest out of every version of translation. (Borges 93) If I were the original author or teller of a story, I would want to make sure that the intended significance of my work is captured in the future. We must make sure we respecting our past in this same way. For the future of humanities and social sciences to be successful, we must make sure that we are utilizing our verbal and written language skills to pass our knowledge

With each translation some of the original sentiment is lost. It’s always been really important to me to find the original source of ideas and documents. I think about this a lot in relation to the poetry of Emily Dickinson. Dickinson’s handwriting is chaotic and almost completely illegible so when I’m reading Franklin’s transliteration of her work, I can’t but feel it’s already been tampered with. For example in 202, “”Faith” is a fine invention / For Gentlemen who see!”, see is italicized, which seems to imply that Dickinson was being sarcastic, but how can Franklin be so sure it was italicized? With the state of Dickinson’s handwriting there isn’t much way to tell. Additionally, Dickinson often left little asterisks by words in her poetry with, in the footnotes, alternatives which change the meaning of the poem. However, RW Franklin, the main scholar of Dickinson’s work, doesn’t include the asterisks or the footnotes. So any modern reader of Dickinson, looking at transliterations of her work is reading something that’s already been changed, interpreted, skewed

An example of phonological awareness is a child being able to recognize that “sat” and “hat” rhyme. When a child is asked what rhymes with “sat” they should be able to produce a word such as “cat”.

An interesting study was conducted by Pricilla Dunstan, a mother with an ear for sound, after she had her own baby and became aware of the different sounds her baby made in direct correlation with specific needs (Dunstan Baby Language, 2015). Careful and extensive study around the world concluded that all baby regardless of gender, race, religion, or creed, made the same 5 sounds for the same reasons (Priscilla Dunstan on Oprah, 2012). These sounds are universal; as is the ability for a child to learn any language and the sounds of individual languages.

The second half of the last century have seen a great advance in translation field ( translation studies discipline ). Which make many translation scholars emphasis on the importantce of knowing the translation theory for the translators since the translation studies become a discipline.Mona Baker stats”

Despite having numerous species roaming the Earth, infants and young children are more fascinated with human speech. There are certain characteristics in human speech that distinguish it from any other species found in Earth. Previous studies performed by speech language pathologists show that infants and young children are particularly fond of familiar voices, and are easily able to respond more quickly to them as opposed to strangers. Whether the adults realize it or not, they speak to their children differently than to an adult. The intonation and rhythm in the adult’s voice are usually different around young children, causing the adults to be able to get the children’s attention. Over the years, speech language pathologists have conducted

In this short video, a baby keeps trying to talk to his mom by babbling. Like mentioned in chapter four, children from an early age try to communicate throughout many methods and babbling is one of them. This baby is a perfect example that maybe it’s true that humans are born with a disposition to communicate and to use language. This baby by babbling is playing with his vocals while babbling he is repeating true syllables, which are consonants plus vowels. This stage leads the child to start noticing that some sounds lead to particular situations.

Several theorists have attempted to explain how human acquire language. One idea is that children model and are reinforced by adults. Children have been observed to imitate specific sounds that caregivers make. Moreover, as behaviorist B.F. Skinner proposed, children

Reduplicative set seems common when an infant starts learning a language. For most people, the first words that they learned are “mama” and “papa”. It is also a language development process for young children. They use reduplicative sets frequently in order to enable the child to produce polysyllabic utterances without articulating complex structures. Ingram argues that children produce those reduplicative sounds to compensate their inability to produce the whole word. So that when they develop the sophisticated sounding techniques, they would use “mommy” and “daddy” instead of “mama” and “papa”.

For a long time in the 20th century, translation studies followed the linguistic tradition in assuming the notion of equivalence. Translation studies in the linguistic tradition have relied on the notion equivalence. Nowadays equivalence between words in a source text and a target language is also important but other requirements also need to be met. It is specifically apparent in translating scientific texts. One of the other criteria for translation is incorporation of the main ideas and broader meaning of the whole texts. The source text needs to be recognised and understood as a whole, not as sequence of sentences and paragraphs. It should concern the cultural
