The paper deals with the specifics of the translation of the literary reportage, which is characterized by the syncretism of the factual and subjective, fictionalized processing of objective reality, and at the same time it represents the mediation of another culture, the language of the reporter, or the perspective of their own culture. The particularity of translation of this genre results, in particular, from the two-level nature of the translational complex of the fictionalized reportage text. Its first element is realized at the level of the author - the reporter (the mediator between the culture they write about and their own culture), the second at the level of the translator (the mediator between the two cultures, variously represented in the text). On the basis of the analysis of the Slovak translations of the works The Emperor, Shah of Shahs and Imperiumwritten by Ryszard Kapuściński, the most prominent and best-known representative of the Polish school of reportage, we are looking for answers to the following questions:

What forms can transculturality acquire in translations of reportages?
Which of the cultures coming “into play” the translator chooses as determinative?
How is the translator identified in relation to these cultures?

State and trait anxiety among interpreting trainees, recent graduates, and professional interpreters

https://doi.org/10.24040/nfr.2022.14.2.14-25

This paper focuses on anxiety in interpreting. The main objective was to find out how anxiety differs among interpreting trainees, recent graduates, and professional interpreters with shorter and longer experience. The research instrument used was the STAI – the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. The data indicated that the interpreting trainees and professional interpreters with both shorter and longer experience scored comparably on the X-1 form (state anxiety) and X-2 form (trait anxiety). The recent graduates differed substantially from the other groups, scoring much lower on both the state and trait anxiety measures. This could be due to the small group size, which could have caused skewing of the results. The majority of the groups were characterised by higher trait anxiety and lower state anxiety scores (the exception being the professional interpreters with longer experience, although the difference was minimal). In terms of gender, noticeable differences were only observed for the X-2 form, with females appearing more anxious than males. These findings, although they only apply to a small research sample, suggest a similarity between skilful interpreting trainees and professional interpreters.

On translation of drammatic texts

https://doi.org/10.24040/nfr.2022.14.2.26-45

The article deals with the specifics of dramatic texts translation – separately considered dramas intended for staging and those intented for reading. It also analyzes recurrent errors made by students of interpreting-translation studies. The identified problems mainly concern following areas: inappropriately chosen global translation strategy, neglecting intertextual valences, pragmatic (logical) error, incorrent translation of figures of speech, contamination between similar phraseological units, insufficient general political and social overview, incorrect inflection of foreign toponyms and proper nouns, literal translation, ignoring the specifics of dramatic texts, unrecognized traits of author’s idiolect.

Europe’s common heritage (culture, history, traditions) has had a great impact on the languages sharing the same territory of the European continent. The influence of the mutual relationships between nations is predominantly visible in phraseology of each European language. The article deals with occurrence of certain multiword expressions, phraseologisms, e.g. collocations, idioms, idiomatic comparisons originated in common European source of the English origin, i.e. British and American phraseologisms, quotations of well-known British and American writers, philosophers, politicians, etc. The analysis focuses on the contrastive approach to the English and Slovak phraseology.

PREFIGOVANÉ EKVIVALENTY FRANCÚZSKYCH VERB PERCEPCIE V SLOVENČINE

PREFIX EQUIVALENTS OF FRENCH VERBS OF PERCEPTION IN SLOVAK

https://doi.org/10.24040/nfr.2022.14.2.85-96

The presented article deals with the translation of verbs of perception from French into Slovak in the novel Passing Timeby M. Butor. The focus, in particular, is on the numerous Slovak prefix equivalents of these French non-prefixed verbs. The main goal is the analysis of their meanings. We will observe how the prefix, in addition to changing the imperfect form into the perfect one, modifies the meaning of the basic verb of perception and thus fulfils its lexical-perfective function. We assume that most of the initial non-prefixed verbs in the French source language will be in the compound past tense - passé composé. The partial goal of the research is to find out which prefixes are the most productive in terms of verbal word formation by prefixing. We have found out that in the majority of cases, the prefix not only fulfils a grammatical function, but also has a lexical function that significantly modifies the meaning of the basic non-prefixed verb. For example, it enriches the verb with the meanings of the beginning of the action.

DESIRE AND SUBJECTIVITY IN S. T. COLERIDGE’S “FROST AT MIDNIGHT”

Ghiasuddin Alizadeh, Masoud Farahmandfar, Musa Abdollahi — Wed, 01 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0100

The present article is an attempt to offer a fresh critical reading of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem "Frost at Midnight" based on the theoretical ideas of Jacques Lacan on desire and subjectivity. Coleridge's desire for a unified subjectivity lulls him into the dream of a bright future for his son, while the only ethical thing for him to do, from the psychoanalytical point of view, is to accept the split and, having traversed the fantasy and subjectified the cause of this split, to take responsibility for his unconscious mind. It is no wonder, then, that the poem begins and ends with the description of “frost’s secret ministry”; after all, the endless pursuit of desire qua the Other in search of a lost object which would complete the puzzle of one’s life is no pursuit at all; the act of moving in a circle of course means there is no actual movement or change in location.
