TTR Changes in Different Directions of Translation

20 Мая 2014, курсовая работа

There have been a number of attempts to describe the quantitative characteristics of vocabulary, both of a language or sublanguage system and of the language of a particular author, from the point of view of the number and frequency of types, tokens, and and lexemes. We will not even attempt to offer a more or less exhaustive list of these. Gradually, with the development of corpus linguistics, theorists of translation studies have picked up several quantitative ideas from linguistics and, trying to make their criteria for evaluating the differences between original and target texts and the lexical-stylistic adequacy of the translation objective, started to calculate those parameters, which was easily accomplished using computing techniques. Within the last decade there has been a boom in the amoount of research into quantitative parameters in translation studies due to the use of electronic corpora.

Typology of the Compound Sentence

20 Марта 2014, реферат

Clauses in compound sentences of the contrasted languages are mostly joined by means of co-ordinate conjunctions which provide parataxal relations between them. Conjunctions joining clauses in compound sentences of the contrasted languages are practically of the same semantic nature: copulative, adversative, and causal/or (in English only). Equally common in the contrasted languages are various connectives that join coordinate clauses. These are as follows: therefore, consequently, accordingly, then, hence, so, while, as well as and some explanatory connective words (that is to say, such as, like, let me say and others), which have corresponding functional (and semantic) equivalents in Ukrainian (отже, та, а саме, звідси, тобто, тоді, як-то, так-як, ...так, скажімо, то...то). Co-ordinate conjunctions, as well as various connectives, realise their functional and semantic meaning in structurally and semantically identical English and Ukrainian compound sentences.

Using modal verbs

25 Мая 2013, реферат

The speaker’s judgment may be of different kinds, that is, the speaker may express various modal meanings. Modal verbs unlike other verbs, do not denote actions or states, but only show the attitude of the speaker towards the action expressed by the infinitive in combination with which they form compound modal predicates. These modal verbs may show that the action (or state, of process, or quality) is viewed by the speaker as possible, obligatory, doubtful, certain, permissible, advisable, requested, prohibited, ordered etc. Modal verbs occur only with the infinitive. This or that meaning is to a great degree determined by communicative type of the sentence and the form of the infinitive. That is a huge problem for foreign learners of English, who make a great deal of mistakes in this field. So, the aim of my work is to show how modal verbs can be used, in what case we need one or other verb and why.

Alle Erwachsene begegnen den Kindern unterschiedlich. Einige finden sie für Engel, andere – für Dämonen. Viele Leute lieben die Kinder, besonders kleine Kinder.

What makes a successful negotiator?

24 Марта 2013, сочинение

It is common knowledge that every aspect of our business and personal life requires negotiation. Negotiating skills are not usually part of our formal education, though we use these skills all day, every day. Negotiating can be explained as simply as "working side by side with other to achieve some beneficial result." Luckily, it is a practical skill that can be learned. It doesn’t matter if we run General Motors or our households, we all want to communicate and convince effectively, we all want to be successful negotiators. So no matter what our age or our position in life, if we develop a certain attitude about negotiating, pay attention to honing our skills, then our life will run smoother.

William Shakespeare

06 Октября 2013, реферат

Shakespeare was born and brought up in Stratford-upon-Avon. At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. Between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part-owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men. He appears to have retired to Stratford around 1613 at age 49, where he died three years later. Few records of Shakespeare's private life survive, and there has been considerable speculation about such matters as his physical appearance, sexuality, religious beliefs, and whether the works attributed to him were written by others.
