Translations by two early women Bible translators, Julia E. Smith (1792-1886) and Helen Barrett Montgomery (1861-1934), reflect their difference in purpose in attempting the translations as well as their level of knowledge of translation theory and linguistics. Smith translated merely for personal use in her own small society; her major concern was faithfulness to what she termed “the literal meaning.” Montgomery, on the other hand, wrote in consideration of her audience; she wanted to communicate clearly and naturally in idiomatic terms. Smith was inward-focused, whereas Montgomery was outward-focused.

The article is strongly based on theoretical linguistic assumptions by Jan Baudouin de Courtenay, Sydney M. Lamb, Roy Harris and Bronisław Malinowski, promoting the idea of individual character experience, human cognitive system and language sub-system. The assumption of individual and unique character of experience and language is naturally followed by inquiries into translator’s identity and its effect on the translation activity and product. The achievements in this area are already unquestionable and hard to dismiss; it is, however, deemed necessary and beneficial to extend our investigation by referring to advanced and integrated neuroimaging techniques as well as new discoveries in genetics and molecular biology.

George Steiner’s Hermeneutic Motion, published in his major book After Babel, is usually regarded as the most important theory in the hermeneutics and even philosophy of translation. The work, however, has received criticism by authors who normally write outside of the classical realm of hermeneutics. A lingering assumption is that hermeneutics, and even other strands of Continental philosophy, necessarily need or should rely on Steiner’s postulates. A critical approach to his theory from a hermeneutic perspective can clarify how valid/practical Steiner’s ideas are. Reviewing all of the chapters in After Babel, this study thematically unifies the criticisms on Steiner’s theory, while highlighting deeper conflicts in the work. As a most substantial reading of the hermeneutic motion, the study emphasizes the importance of emerging hermeneutic theories of translation in the twenty-first century.

The article discusses preliminary results of a comparative analysis of two translations of Edmund Campion’s (1540–1581) Rationes decem. One being the Polish translation entitled Dziesięć wywodów by Piotr Skarga (Wilno, 1584) and the other being the English translation of an unknown translator (Rouen 1632). The article begins with a brief historical outline of the genesis of Campion’s work and compares the two translations in the light of the “translator’s invisibility” theory formulated by Lawrence Venuti. Selected passages from both translations are then analyzed in accordance with Edward Balcerzan’s typology of textual transformations in translation. Skarga’s translation, in comparison with the later English translation, seems to be closer to the original text. The most common type of transformation applied in the Polish text is inversion and complementation (adiectio), whilst in the English translation predominant translation strategies are substitution and complementation. Skarga as the ‘invisible’ translator faithfully renders the original text, and his editorial decisions encourage the reader to become an independent reader. The article presents preliminary results of a research project on the study of subversive publications in sixteenth-century England and their reception in the Republic of Poland-Lithuania. The Project is funded by the Polish National Science Centre.

The objective of the paper was: (1) to analyse EU translation in light of central concepts of Translation Studies, and (2) to attempt a synthesis of numerous studies on EU translation to describe its distinctive features. EU law is adopted in 24 official languages and is applied in 28 Member States. The translation of EU law has an authoritative status. Owing to a complex array of political, procedural, legal and institutional factors, the translation of EU law poses a challenge to central TS concepts, such as a source text and a target text (versus language versions), a translation process (translation as part of a multistage and multilingual drafting process), equivalence (a priori/existential equivalence) and translation quality (uniform application and interpretation of law). The author posits that the translation of EU law is a unique category which requires its own theoretical framework.

This article deals with the current state of development of two main categories of modern translation theory: “untranslatability” and “non-equivalence”. Untranslatability belongs to translation-theoretic universals and is a binary category. The essence of the phenomenon, its nature, as well as such concepts as “translation losses”, “untranslatable units”, “translatological classification of text types” are considered. The differences in the meaning of the concepts “untranslatability” and “non-equivalence” are described. The article objective is to show actuality and pecularity of their manifistation in the context of the Russian and German languages.

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?

This paper compares the translation theories of Otokar Fischer (1883–1938) and Jiří Levý (1926–1967) and highlights the differences and similarities between them. It will be shown that the two scholars focused on similar issues and developed them in different ways, but with various points of contact. The first question to which both Fischer and Levý devote specific attention concerns the centrality of communicative functions, ideological and aesthetic values in the translation process and, therefore, the need to preserve them. Then, it will be shown how they both focus on the need to understand, interpret and translate what is not explicitly expressed, i.e. the subtext, the need to bring the words of the original text back to a prenatal stage, in which they existed only in the form of thought. It will further be highlighted that both Fischer and Levý place emphasis on the importance of translation as a work of art and means of cultural transmission and on the importance of the cultural education, taste and creativity of the translator. Finally, the issue of the dual norm of translation will be addressed: Fischer and Levý focus on what they believe to be the two fundamental requirements of a translation, i.e. fidelity and beauty, reaching different conclusions.

The author examines selected scholarly studies available in English translation, and the ways in which they form or deform the understanding of the Prague Linguistic Circle for the English speaking reader. The contribution aims to show how the semantic shifts alter some theoretical concepts of the Prague School theorists. The semantic shifts mentioned here are indicative of both individual concretization in the sense introduced by Roman Ingarden, and in its broader meaning formulated by Felix Vodička. The selected texts are mostly present in collections chosen by scholars, who are not necessarily specializing in drama or theatre. They contain three sorts of semantic shifts: terms, titles and editorial interventions.

This text is a review of a book by Andrew Chesterman: Reflections on Translation Theory. Selected Papers 1993-2014 (John Benjamins Publishing Company, Amsterdam/Philadelphia 2017). It explains the author’s research methods and describes the problems covered in individual articles. Special attention is paid to a description of Chesterman’s attitude to the field of translation studies, including the fears, hopes and postulates presented by the author about its shape and status. The perspectives emerging from the book are contrasted with the current state of research into translation in Poland today, and doubts are cast on the need to achieve greater coherence in this field of research.

Szczególny nacisk został położony na opisanie stosunku Chestermana do dyscypliny Translation Studies – lęków, nadziei i postulatów autora związanych z jej kształtem i statusem. Perspektywa wyłaniająca się z książki została skonfrontowana ze stanem badań nad przekładem w Polsce, a widoczne w niej przekonanie o konieczności uspójniania dyscypliny zostało podane w wątpliwość.

The Intersections of Translational Hermeneutics and Narrative Hermeneutics: The Foundational Considerations

The majority of translation theories remerging from the works of contemporary philosophers suffer from a lack of well-organized textual/semiotic analysis tools. Although such theories are specifically important because of their postulates, their incoherent methods normally make them difficult to be used or even sufficiently understood. Hermeneutic theories, however, have been re-visiting and re-constructing their principles, showing a remarkable tendency toward methodological and empirical investigation guided by their philosophy. Translational hermeneutics, as a major movement, has suggested six fundamental principles. Although this contribution systemizes and simplifies hermeneutic conceptions, it still needs to construct a lingual analytic system for practical translation. Seeking to address this problem, this study views the six principles in the light of narratology and suggests a unified organization based on Ricoeur’s narrative theory by breaking the principles into a cognitive-existential dimension (subjectivity, historicity, phenomenology) and a lingual/semiotic dimension (process character, holistic nature, reflection). This framework processes both minimal and maximal language variables and addresses practical and pedagogical considerations.

The purpose of the present article is to direct attention to a rather infrequent perspective on translating culturally-embedded concepts. It constitutes an attempt to grade the instances of cultural untranslatability in a source text from translator’s perspective by employing as examples a few culturally humorous utterances from the American TV series The Big Bang Theory. In the initial part of the substantial theoretical section the article launches into the discussion over the position of culture in translation theory, recalling the “cultural turn” of the 1980s and touching upon the relationship between language and culture, while also enumerating the prevalent techniques for translating culture-bound concepts. Since culture can often be reflected in humour, the ensuing part investigates its varieties and approaches to humour in translation. The third part of the section is a discussion over the concept of untranslatability. It ponders upon the dichotomy into linguistic and cultural untranslatability and its purposefulness in the light of the language-kulture debate in linguistic studies. It also offers an insight into approaches to untranslatability, leading to the discussion over its absoluteness and/or gradability. Based on the foregoing, the latter section offers an attempt at grading the instances of untranslatability on the basis of culture-bound humour from The Big Bang Theory TV series. By presenting three examples from the series, the chapter introduces three categories of (un)translatable utterances: culture bumps, complex linguistic hurdles and culture clashes.
PL
Celem niniejszego artykułu jest zwrócenie uwagi na raczej rzadko spotykane podejście do tłumaczenia pojęć zakorzenionych w kulturze. Jest on próbą gradacji występowania nieprzetłumaczalności kulturowej w tekście źródłowym z perspektywy tłumacza poprzez wykorzystanie kilku przykładów humorystycznych kulturowo wypowiedzi z amerykańskiego serialu Teoria wielkiego podrywu. Początkową część jakże istotnej sekcji teoretycznej artykułu stanowi dyskusja na temat pozycji kultury w teorii tłumaczenia, odwołująca się do zjawiska „zwrotu kulturowego” z lat 80.XX wieku oraz poruszająca temat związku między językiem i kulturą, wymieniając jednocześnie główne techniki tłumaczenia pojęć kulturowych. Jako że kultura może być często odzwierciedlona w humorze, dalsza część rozpatruje jego odmiany i podejścia do tłumaczenia humoru. Trzecia część tej sekcji stanowi dyskusję na temat pojęcia nieprzetłumaczalności. Przedstawia rozważania dotyczące podziału nieprzetłumaczalności na językową i kulturową oraz jego celowości w świetle debaty w studiach językoznawczych o związku języka i kultury. Oferuje ona również wgląd w podejścia do nieprzetłumaczalności, prowadząc do dyskusji na temat nieprzetłumaczalności bezwzględnej oraz/lub jej gradacji. Na podstawie powyższego końcowa sekcja proponuje próbę gradacji przypadków nieprzetłumaczalności na podstawie humoru kulturowego w serialu Teoria wielkiego podrywu. Przez prezentację trzech przykładów z serialu rozdział wprowadza trzy kategorie wyrażeń (nie)przetłumaczalnych: culture bumps – wyboje kulturowe, complex linguistic hurdles – złożone językowe przeszkody oraz culture clashes – zderzenia kultur.

The paper presents and analyses the outcomes of a survey study conducted with the participation of BA and MA students in a translation programme, aimed at gaining insight into the students’ views on translation theory usefulness. It was initially assumed that theory appreciation would develop along with growing translation experience, however, the nature of the predicted correlation appeared more complex. The author attempts to determine what factors may influence the observed interconnection and affect the subjects’ opinions.

This article is a review of the monograph entitled Perspektywy na przekład [Perspectives on translation], edited by Maria Piotrowska and published in 2021 by the Jagiellonian University Publishing House in Krakow. The book consists of two parts; after 4 articles in part 1, addressing the issues of translation and Translation Studies more comprehensively, part 2 contains seven chapters whose authors focus on specific types of translation and types of translation studies. Each chapter provides the reader with solid knowledge and each supplies an extensive bibliography. The monograph is conceived as a compendium of knowledge about translation and a handbook opening a future series of similar publications in Polish and English. In my opinion, the book is unquestionably useful in all three areas declared by the co-authors: translation theory and practice as well as translator education.

Niniejszy artykuł jest recenzją monografii pod red. Marii Piotrowskiej pt. Perspektywy na przekład, która ukazała się w 2021 roku nakładem Wydawnictwa Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego w Krakowie. Książka składa się z dwóch części; po 4 artykułach w cz. 1 ujmujących kwestie przekładu i przekładoznawstwa bardziej całościowo, cz. 2 zawiera siedem rozdziałów, których autorzy pochylają się nad konkretnymi rodzajami przekładu i typami badań przekładoznawczych. Każdy rozdział zaopatruje czytelnika w rzetelną wiedzę i każdy opatrzony jest obszerną bibliografią. Monografia pomyślana jest jako kompendium wiedzy o przekładzie i podręcznik otwierający przyszłą serię podobnych publikacji w języku polskim i angielskim. W mojej ocenie praca ta wykazuje niekwestionowaną przydatność we wszystkich trzech deklarowanych przez współautorów obszarach: teorii, praktyce i dydaktyce przekładu.

RECONCEPTUALISING THE THIRD SPACE OF LEGAL TRANSLATION

This paper explores the concept of legal translation as a Third Space through the lens of the ‘multilingual’ Court of Justice of the European Union (ECJ). In many ways legal translation at that Court fits readily with the characterisation of translation as a Third Space. Due to complex internal production processes the ECJ produces texts which are undoubtedly hybrid in nature, and which exhibit distinctive features on a lexical and textual level marking them out as a product of cross-fertilisation of influences from source and target languages and legal cultures. Even the teleological approach taken towards legal reasoning at the ECJ occupies a space outside the strict confines of the texts involved. Both the processes and the product of the ECJ’s language system appear to bear all the hallmarks of translation as a Third Space. However, translation at the ECJ also challenges the concept of a Third Space. The prevailing definitions of translation as a Third Space fail to effectively conceptualise additional nuances of the specific nature of drafting and the complex nature of translation at the ECJ. This paper uses original empirical data to demonstrate that translation at the ECJ places constraints on the undefined, vague and fluid nature of the Third Space, warping the forces at work within that space. In this regard, rather than an amorphous space, the Third Space is better thought of as a determinate area which is delimited by elements of translation process which constrain it. This adapted framing of the Third Space can consequently be used to better understand and illustrate the dynamics at play in other areas of legal translation where the current concept of the Third Space is equally inadequate for encompassing the specific nature of translation practices which impact on that space-in-between.

This article is devoted to the use of the Intercorp parallel corpus in translation theory. In the research selected phrasemes have been used in order to show possibilities of using the parallel corpus in translation. Particular focus has been put on translation equivalence and its criteria with reference to the material from the parallel corpus.    Also, the specificity of Czech-Polish and Polish-Czech translation has been described, which provided a context for particular InterCorp resources.    The analysis indicated usefulness of the corpus-driven material in the search of adequate translator’s solutions. The article contributes to theoretical analysis related to the role of parallel corpora in the translator’s work

The article deals with issues from the history of Ukrainian translatology, namely the de- velopment of this science in the field of theory, practice and criticism of translation in the 1920s–1930s. The main hypothesis of the article concerns the significant role of journals in the process of establishing Ukrainian translatology as a science. For this purpose, critical and theoretical texts that appeared in the monthly magazines “Червоний шлях” (1923–1936) and “Життя й революція” (1925–1934) were ana- lyzed, and translations of literary texts published in them were counted. As a result of this research, fur- ther prospective threads of research on the translation material contained in the given sources emerged.

Artykuł porusza zagadnienia z historii ukraińskiej translatologii, mianowicie roz- woju tej nauki w zakresie teorii, praktyki oraz krytyki przekładu w latach 20. i 30. XX stulecia. Główną hipotezą rozprawy jest twierdzenie o znaczącej roli czasopism w procesie stanowienia ukraińskiej translatologii jako nauki. W tym celu przeanalizowano krytyczne i teoretyczne teksty, które ukazały się na łamach miesięczników „Червоний шлях” (1923–1936) i „Життя й революція” (1925–1934) oraz podliczono opublikowane w nich przekłady tekstów literackich. W wyniku badań wyłoniły się kolejne perspektywistyczne wątki badań nad zawartym w danych źródłach materiałem przekładoznawczym.
