The paper deals with the rendering of English personal proper names in the German translation of the novel by J.R.R. Tolkien The Lord of the Rings. The analysis includes the use of translation techniques and the evaluation of the choice of equivalents based on the equivalence theory of W. Koller. In the empirically determined translation strategies a consistent method for the choice of equivalents can be recognized. The exact imitation of the form (in both its structure and sound) and the preservation of semantic equivalence are undisputed benefits of this successful transla-tional performance.

“The Crimean Sonnets” written by Adam Mickiewicz, which are the literary fruit of the poet’s journey to the Crimea, express his admiration of the peninsula, which the poet called “the East in miniature”. The fascination with the Orient in the Crimean cycle manifests itself not only in applying oriental motifs, which were taken from Arabic or Persian literature, but also in rich vocabulary referring to elements of Turkish, Arabic, Tatar, and Persian culture. Given the fact that in the translation process of “The Crimean Sonnets” from Polish into German these elements are foreign to both the source and target culture, they can be defined as the third culture elements according to Dorota Urbanek. The purpose of this article is to analyse translation techniques used to convey selected orientalisms in “The Crimean Sonnets” in the rendering by Martin Remané and Dirk Strauch. The analysis of the techniques allows to determine whether the translators retained the local colour of the oriental Crimea by preserving the foreign elements or whether they tried to domesticate their rendering.

The present article deals with the indirect translation, which is conceived by many translation theoreticians as an inadvisable practice. The aim of the paper is to prove that the Polish rendering of the novel “Koelie” by the Dutch writer Madelon Székely-Lulofs is in fact an indirect translation. The case study draws on a triangulation method consisting of peritextual, epitextual and comparative analysis. The epitextual analysis enabled to advance a hypothesis, that the translator of the novel into Polish – Herminia Bukowska – might have rendered indirect either via the German or English version. On the basis of the comparative analysis of the source text with its renderings into German, English and Polish carried out with regard to the so-called third culture elements, was it possible to verify this hypothesis. The comparison revealed quite a few unambiguous similarities between the Polish and German rendering in the translators’ approach in relation to the mentioned translation units, which in turn differ from the source text.

This paper deals with stages of pre-translation text analysis and examines typical difficulties of legal text translation. Students are taught to analyze the style, genre, translatological type of the text, theme, goal, tone, author’s intention and source and recipient of the text. The order of text introduction is important beginning with legal correspondence, continuing with contracts and finally presenting different newspaper texts. However, there are universal lexical, grammatical, syntactic, and cultural difficulties of translation which appear in the same genre from text to text. When distinguished once the patterns may be kept in mind and simplify and speed up the translation of analogical texts.

Acronyms are lexical units that have been thoroughly explored in terms of their morphology or pronunciation. However, their semantic value has not been entirely determined yet. The present paper aims at investigating the manner in which a semantic value of an acronym, and particularly a difference between proper and common acronyms, influences techniques applied to translating them. In order to achieve the aforementioned objective, on the basis of the cognitive theory of proper names, the authors have distinguished Polish and French acronyms being ergonyms as well as acronyms belonging to proper names and these designating item classification. The paper concerns the analysis of both Polish and French translations of ergonyms in foreign language press and French common acronyms in the Polish press. The performed analysis allows observing a tendency towards transferring acronymsergonyms that play the role of a rigid designator rather than full names in the target text. By contrast, the techniques of translating common acronyms differ, depending on whether they designate phenomena typical of the source culture or universal ones.

The history of translation is as ancient as the theories concerning translation. Within the progress of this item the discussion focuses on two conflicting positions, based on the concepts of semantic equivalence and one-to-one correspondence respectively. The question which has always been significant is, whether to move the text to its reader or to move the reader, that is to say how to deal with the text`s overdetermination. An individual word may relate to one word through assonance, to another through syntactical equivalence or morphological parallelism. Signs participate in several different paradigmatic and syntagmatic patterns which, in their complexity, cannot be transferred completely into another language. The article deals with the question “how to translate?”, which means to substitute one sign for another and not to lose too much of its significance. Is authenticity possible or just a Utopian dream?

The 1975 edition of the Warsaw Bible, a modern translation from th original languages and published by the British and Foreign Biblical Society, is a translation that has superseded the Danzig Bible (Biblia Gdańska) of 1632, translated by Daniel Mikołajewski, as the authorized version to Polish-speaking Protestants in its moral guidance, observance of religious ceremonial, ecclesiastical creed and religious practice. Despite the claims of the editorial board of the Warsaw Bible, however, its translation has not entirely discarded the vocabulary of the Danzig Bible, the last link in the chain of Polish Renaissance translations that referred to the foundational doctrinal principle of the Protestant Reformation sola Scriptura. This article aims at indicating lexical relics in the New Testament of the Warsaw Bible that have their roots in the sixteenth century Czech translation of the Bible - Kralice Bible, and which were absorbed via the Danzig Bible that superseded and was much influenced lexically by the earlier Czech translation published about 50 years earlier. A section of the lexis of the New Testament of the Danzig Bible is put to an analysis in the article, namely: 1. lexemes peculiar to this particular translation, i.e., the ones that do not occur in, firstly, the New Testament in the Brześć Bible (Biblia brzeska) (1563) and in the Danzig New Testament (1606), i.e., the two earlier Protestant translations affiliated with the Danzig Bible, and, secondly, in the Bible of Jakub Wujek (1599), a Catholic post-Tridentine translation made from the Vulgate; 2. lexemes characteristic for the lexis of the New Testament of the Danzig Bible and for either of the above mentioned Protestant translations. Thus defined lexical layer of the New Testament in the Danzig Bible provided a basis for a confrontation of parallel Biblical passages in the New Testament in the Kralice Bible, which resulted in a list of 108 lexemes indicating or manifesting a potential lexical dependence of the Danzig Bible from those of the Kralice Bible . Only 25 lexemes of the total set of 108 lexemes from the New Testament in the Danzig Bible are repeated in the parallel places of the New Testament in the Warsaw Bible, whereas only 12 lexemes of the former group (i.e., 25) (after a confrontation with the parallel Biblical passages of the New Testament in the Millennium Bible, the modern Polish Catholic translation for which the Protestant Danzig Bible was not a pattern for translation), unequivocally indicate their traditional provenance. Bearing in mind the fact that the lexemes under scrutiny in the New Testament of the Danzig Bible usually occur with the frequency of f=1, the scope of the possible dependence of the vocabulary of the New Testament in the Warsaw Bible from that of the Kralice Bible via Danzig Bible, has to be evaluated as weak and insignificant. Notwithstanding the fact, the Warsaw Bible does include some lexical relics that clearly testify to the older relationships of Polish Biblical translations on account of the doctrinal sola Scriptura principle, originated within Protestants circles, with the sixteenth century Kralice Bible.

The frame of reference for this article on Kafka’s translations into various European languages is the author’s conception of translation studies as a three-stage (‘three-storey’) structure: translation technique (‘ground floor’); translation strategy (‘bel étage’ or ‘main floor’); and translation business, i. e. translation as an organized institution (‘top floor’). The ‘ground floor’ deals with the purely linguistic particularities of Kafka’s texts and the difficulties they present to translators of different target languages. The ‘bel étage’ or ‘main floor’ deals with the genuinely translational decisions made within the framework of what is linguistically possible in order to make the typical ‘kafkaesque’ kind of writing recognizable in other languages. Finally, the ‘top floor’ shows how translations into various languages have helped to make Kafka one of the world’s great writers.

The aim of this article is to present the English equivalents of the Polish term – “zarządca spadku nieobjętego” that are included in specialized Polish-English dictionaries and to assess their adequacy. The phrase “zarządca spadku nieobjętego” – typical of legal Polish and, more precisely, of succession law – may be literally translated into English as “administrator of non-acquired estate”. The definitions of the Polish succession law term under analysis are presented following an explanation of the label “term” [Lukszyn and Zmarzer (2001)] and a clarification of the phenomenon of “incongruity of terms” [Šarčević (1997)]. In the process of assessing their adequacy, the presence of equivalents in British law sources (in each of the three separate legal systems of England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) is checked, and, if needed, the legal definitions of equivalents are presented. The translation methods applied to the formation of equivalents are also determined. Findings lead to conclude that one of the suggested equivalents may serve as the closest functional equivalent [Šarčević (1997)] of the Polish term in question.

Następnie określa się techniki przekładowe, które zostały zastosowane podczas tworzenia omawianych ekwiwalentów. Na podstawie badania jeden spośród analizowanych ekwiwalentów zostaje określony jako najbliższy ekwiwalent funkcjonalny zgodnie z definicją Šarčević (1997).

This paper constitutes an attempt to assess English equivalents of the Polish term “pełnomocnictwo ogólne” suggested in four most popular bilingual specialist dictionaries and four Polish civil code translations into English. The English equivalents discussed include: “general proxy”, “full power” and “general power”. In order to conduct a thorough assessment of the suggested equivalents, the definitions of the Polish term and its English equivalents presented in English monolingual legal dictionaries have been analysed. Moreover, the study aims to verify whether or not the suggested equivalents occur in the texts of the British sources of law. Finally, translation techniques applied while forming English equivalents under discussion are identified.

The expression וַיַַּעַַַל בְְּכָָל־הָָאָָרֶֶץ in 2 Kgs 17:5a is apparently simple and devoid of semantic or syntactic difficulty. This Hebrew phrase is, however, interpreted variously by the scholars who generate a considerable plurality of its translations. The problem appears to lie in the diversity with which the meaning of the verb √ עלה and of the preposition בְְּ, and further, their semantic and syntactic relation in 2 Kgs 17:5a, are interpreted. The examination of these lexemes’ semantics and their interrelated syntax in the Hebrew text leads to the following conclusions: (1) the verb √ עלה has there a technical-military meaning “to invade, attack, march against;” (2) it is used stereotypically and from the sociolinguistic perspective it denotes the nuance of an upward movement; (3) the meaning of בְְּ is spatial in 2 Kgs 17:5a and marks an area moved through; (4) the syntactic relation √ בְּ + עלה is not equivalent to √ עַל + עלה , and consequently, the technical-military meaning of the verb does not remove the spatial meaning of the preposition. It is proposed to translate 2 Kgs 17:5a in a following way: “And then (the king of Assyria) marched up throughout the whole country.” Such a rendering expresses both the Assyrian military actions, a physical movement upwards, and the area moved through. From the historical point of view, it describes the first stage of the Assyrian attack, the invasion going throughout the whole country of king Hosea (v. 5a), followed by an attack directed against its capital, Samaria (v. 5bc). Other interpretations (translations), either ignoring or highlighting one of the discussed features only, may be considered incomplete, questionable or unacceptable from the semantic and syntactic point of view.

Przypisy tłumacza w serbskim, rosyjskim, polskim i niemieckim przekładzie opowiadania Balada o trobenti in oblaku (pl. Ballada o trąbce i obłoku) słoweńskiego pisarza Cirila Kosmača różnią się zarówno pod względem formalnym, jak i z uwagi na zawarte w nich treści: przypisy w serbskim, rosyjskim i polskim przekładzie to przypisy dolne, w przekładzie niemieckim — końcowe. ze względu na zawarte w nich treści wyróżnia się serbski przekład, gdyż nie zawiera tzw. przypisów niejęzykowych — nieodnoszących się do samego języka. Tego typu przypisów, dotyczących elementów historycznych, mitologicznych, geograficznych oraz przedmiotów użytkowych, również w pozostałych omawianych przekładach jest stosunkowo niewiele — najwięcej w polskim przekładzie (osiem), mniej w rosyjskim (sześć) i niemieckim (cztery). Brak tego typu przypisów w tłumaczeniu serbskim wskazuje na większą bliskość XX-wiecznych serbskich i słoweńskich realiów społeczno-kulturowych. mimo to przypisy tłumaczy w omawianych przekładach opowiadania C. Kosmača można uznać za wielofunkcyjną technikę translatorską: z jednej strony stanowią one paratekst w funkcji objaśniającej, który ma pomóc odbiorcy sekundarnemu zrozumieć dane konteksty (również te mniej znaczące), z drugiej natomiast służą zachowaniu treści oryginału; dzięki nim w tekście ujawnia się sam tłumacz i jego szerszy społeczno-kulturowy horyzont. Jednocześnie analiza przypisów wskazuje na złożone i konkurencyjne względem siebie relacje istniejące między przypisami i innymi technikami translatorskimi, zarówno w perspektywie pojedynczego, wybranego przekładu, jak i wszystkich omawianych tu razem.

The translator’s notes in the Serbian, Russian, Polish, and German translations of the novella Balada o trobenti in oblaku (The Ballad of the Trumpet and the Cloud), written by a Slovenian writer, Ciril Kosmač, differ with regard to their formal and content features: the Serbian, Russian, and Polish translations contain footnotes; the German translation, on the other hand, has endnotes; content-wise, among the analysed texts, the Serbian translation occupies a special position, being the only one without the non-linguistic notes. The number of all the non-linguistic notes, explaining historical, mythological, geographical elements and everyday items, is relatively low — the Polish translation has eight such explicative notes, the Russian translation six and the German one has four; their absence in the Serbian translation may be a result of a higher socio-cultural proximity between Serbia and Slovenia in the 20th century. Despite their low number, the non-linguistic translator’s notes appear to be a very complex translation technique in the analysed translations ot Kosmač’s novella: on the one hand, they represent explanatory paratexts, added to facilitate the target reader’s comprehension of different text elements (even with a low narrative importance); on the other hand, however, they also enable the preservation of the source-text elements, contributing in such a way to the source-text orientation; translator’s notes are also a channel through which the translator and his wider socio-cultural background enter the target text in a more explicit way. The analysis of particular translations and their comparison has revealed also an intricate competition between translator’s notes and other translation techniques.

In the course of his missionary activities, in his Didactic Gospel (Evanhelije Učytel’noe = UE), Meletij Smotryc’kyj aimed to present Biblical texts and their commentaries in a more vernacular, not so much Church Slavonic language in order that readers could more easily become familiar with the views of Orthodox authors. Based on the material of the first ten Biblical readings in the order of UE, the article identifies all participle constructions in the Greek source text and compares them with their translation equivalents in different Bible translations: UE, Ostrog Bible, Ukrainian Bible translation of Kulyš, and Russian Synodal translation. The article poses the question of whether it is possible to make conclusions about the closeness of each translation towards a more vernacular way of speaking by showing a numerical comparison of all instances, when the translations are in full morphological equivalence with the Greek source. Considering not only morphological equivalence with the Greek construction but adding grammatical tense of the participle as a second parameter for comparison, then the translations will differ more significantly. Change of tense, of course, is inevitable if the target language does not exhibit an equivalent for aorist, but still, it is a question if the translation of an aorist participle results in a preterit participle (mostly aspectually perfective) or in a present participle (aspectually imperfective). The article is not concerned with linguistic problems of verbal aspect in different Slavic languages but seeks to find out which conclusions about the translation technique could be drawn from comparing numerical correspondences in the realm of morphological equivalence. The material shows that the numerical comparison of instances of morphological adequacy in different Slavic translations permits conclusions about the literal character of the translation but does not allow the stylistic characteristics to be judged.

В рамке миссионерской активности Мелетий Смотрицкий захотел в своем Учительном Евангелии (УЕ) предложить библейские тексты с толкованием в народном, не-церковнославянском языке, чтобы читатели легче смогли познакомиться со взглядами православных авторов. На материале первых десятых библейских в порядке УЕ статья идентифицирует в исходном греческом тексте все конструкции с глагольными причастиями и сравнивает их переводческие эквиваленты в разных переводах Библии: УЕ, Острожская Библия, украинский перевод Кулиша и русский Синодальный перевод. B cтатьe поставлен вопрос, можно ли оценить близость языка переводов к более разговорным выражениям при помощи числового сравнения всех случаев где данные переводы показывают полное морфологическое соответсвие с Греческим оригиналом? Если соблюдается не только морфологическое соответсвие перевода с греческой конструкцией, но и глагольное время употребляемого причастия как второй параметр сравнения, тогда переводы покажут значимые различия. Конечно, глагольное время обязательно сменяется, если в языке переводе уже не найдется эквивалент аориста, но все-таки спрашивается, если Греческий аорист переводится причастием прошедшего времени (прежде всего совершенного вида) или причастием настоящего времени (несовершенного вида). Статья не занимается лингвистической проблематикой видовой системы в различных языках, но спрашивает какие выводы можно сделать на материале числовых сравнений в области морфологической эквивалентности. Языковый материал показывает, что численные данные анализа морфологических эквивалентов в различных славянских переводах позволяют обсудить общую дословность данного перевода, но не позволяют обсудить стилистические особенности.
