Full textThis study examines the impact of Zero equivalence when translating Xitsonga to English and vice versa. Translation is essential in everyday communication, therefore it is important to choose the accurate equivalent variant during the process if not so misunderstanding occurs especially where the target language has nil elements for a particular concept. In this study semi-structured interview was conducted and it is discovered that in place of zero equivalent variants different strategies were provided by different respondents to overcome the deficiency which target languages experience. Looking for sameness of meaning during communications exposes insufficiency of words, phrases and concepts in translating languages with different culture.

Full textThe aim of this study was to investigate the problems encountered by translators when translating medical terms from English into Tshivenda. It has been revealed in this study that the major problem that the translators are confronted with is lack of terminology in the specialized field such as Health. This problem is caused by the fact that different languages entail a variety of culture. The study revealed that most translators and lexicographers resort to transliteration and borrowing when confronted with zero-equivalence. They regard transliteration and borrowing as the quickest possible strategies. The study discovered that transliteration should not be opted as an alternative strategy to deal with zero-equivalence as users will be led to a state of confusion. The study revealed that communicative translation is regarded as the most fruitful method of translation as it conveys the exact message of the original in a best possible manner. Both the source and the target users get the same message.

Full textLack of properly translated Tshivenḓa-English dictionaries is a great challenge to dictionary users. In an attempt to address this challenge or problem, linguistic approach has been employed in this study, which was conducted in Vhembe District in the Limpopo Province, South Africa. This study critically analyses the role of translation in lexicography with special reference to selected Tshivenḓa-/English bilingual dictionaries. The selected dictionaries are: Tshikota’s (2006) Tshivenḓa/English Ṱhalusamaipfi Dictionary and Van Warmelo’s (1989) Venḓa Dictionary. The aim of this study was to examine the role of translation in lexicography with special reference to Tshivenḓa-English dictionaries. This study utilised a qualitative technique to collect the data and interviews were conducted with lexicographers, university lecturers, language practitioners, Tshivenḓa grade 12 educators and court interpreters. Data were analysed based on different answers from different questions posed to different respondents. The study showed that people who compile dictionaries and do translation, do not have proper background in translation. In addition, some of the people are not fluent in both the source and the target languages. It is recommended that in order to produce user-friendly dictionaries, compilers and translators should get a proper training in translation. In addition, translators should be fluent in both the source and target languages. Finally, school books (including prescribed and content books), should be translated in order to provide effective teaching and learning.

Full textThe study demonstrates that the interpretation of tensed and non-tensed forms can be described in terms of Reichenbach's (1947) temporal schemata, which express relations between 'S' ('speech time'), 'R' ('reference time'), and 'E' ('situation time'). However, its central claim is that the tensed forms themselves are 'temporally underspecified', encoding relations between 'S' and 'R', and leaving the relation between 'R' and 'E' and the location and duration of both of these intervals to be determined by lexical properties of the verb and its arguments, temporal adverbials, and context. Non-tensed verbs forms have a similar syntactic representation, differing primarily in not fully encoding a relation between 'S' and 'R'. This claim is cashed out in terms of two devices: a feature system that expresses tenses as particular values of the feature matrix (Anterior, Posterior); and a device of 'tense linking', based on Higginbotham's (e.g. 1983) proposal for binding theory, which associates verbs with temporal adverbials or tensed Infl, and one (tensed or non-tensed) Infl with a higher one.

Full textFourteenth-century man saw around him constantly the immediate prospect of death. Not only the high mortality rate and the universally public death-bed scene which had always been present, but pestilence and war emphasized the proximity of the dread messenger. Around him he saw sculpture and painting, in churches chiefly but not confined to them, depicting the horrors of death and judgement and he was accustomed to hearing sermons and verse which dwelt on the subject in lurid detail. Death to fourteenth-century man was not so much fear of the unknown since the whole process was, up to a point, readily observable and thereafter authoritatively mapped out by the church. Although the departed soul may be destined for the joys of the Beatific Vision, nevertheless those left behind experience loss, uncertainty of the loved one's fate, the often traumatic physical sight of the death-bed and the unwelcome reminder that this is the fate that overtakes everyone. However joyous may be the wished-for reunion with God, one cannot help viewing reality. The cherished body becomes loathsome. In the face of this terror, some form of consolation is required, leading to resignation to the inevitable. The way fourteenth-century man looked at death is well illustrated in the enormous body of literature on the subject. From this plenty has been selected Chaucer's Book of the Duchess, a gentle work which keeps Death at a distance; Pearl, an anonymous work depicting the handling of grief at the loss of a child; The Parlement of the Thre Ages which deals harshly with its audience in order to teach its lesson and contains most of the themes which recur in the final chapter, where a small selection of didactic and homiletic poems is considered. All the writers are English but attitudes in Western Christendom show, at a cursory glance, the similarities one might expect from cultural and religious homogeneity. The selection was made to demonstrate both this unity of outlook and the various treatments of the theme of death. The conclusion is a summary of the evidence from Chapters I to IV for the fourteenth-century attitude to death and a brief comparison with a modern work on the subject.
