The Art of Teaching Spanish: Second Language Acquisition from Research to Praxis

The Art of Teaching Spanish: Second Language Acquisition from Research to Praxis


The Art of Teaching Spanish explores in-depth the findings of research in second language acquisition (SLA) and other language-related fields and translates those findings into practical pedagogical tools for current -- and future -- Spanish-language instructors. This volume addresses how theoretical frameworks affect the application of research findings to the teaching of Spanish, how logistical factors affect the way research findings can be applied to teach Spanish, and how findings from Spanish SLA research would be applicable to Spanish second language teaching and represented in Spanish curricula through objectives and goals (as evidenced in pedagogical materials such as textbooks and computer-assisted language learning software). Top SLA researchers and applied linguists lend their expertise on matters such as foreign language across curriculum programs, the effects of study abroad and classroom contexts on learning, testing, online learning, the incorporation of linguistic variation into the classroom, heritage language learners, the teaching of translation, and other pedagogical issues. Other common themes of The Art of Teaching Spanish include the rejection of the concept of a monolithic language competence, the importance of language as social practice and cultural competence, the psycholinguistic component of SLA, and the need for more cross-fertilization from related fields.

Across the Lines: Travel Language and Translation

Across the Lines: Travel Language and Translation


A radical new work aiming to redefine the relationship between travel and language, focusing on the pivotal bond of language and culture as mediated through translation.An important feature of the Twentieth century has been the enormous growth in travel and the increasing mobility of individuals and groups across societies. A largely neglected aspect of this development has been the relationship of the traveller to language. Across the Lines examines the ways in which language mediates experience across cultures. It assesses a range of travel narratives by writers such as Bruce Chatwin, Dervla Murphy, Eva Hoffman and Jonathan Raban, and uses a theoretical frame of reference taken from socio-lingusitics, literary theory and semiotics. The work looks at what happens to the narrative of travel when the traveller has no grasp of the language spoken and how the status of interpreters, and guidebooks impact on different kinds of travel.Written by one of the leading thinkers in his field, Across the Lines raises concerns, which will be of interest to students and critics of language, translation, travel writing, tourism, and anthropology.

Translation and The Language of Information Technology: A Corpus-based Study of the Vocabulary of Information Technology in English and its Translation into Arabic and Swedish

Translation and The Language of Information Technology: A Corpus-based Study of the Vocabulary of Information Technology in English and its Translation into Arabic and Swedish


This book is an in-depth study of the vocabulary of the language of information technology and how it is translated into Arabic and Swedish. It provides an insight in the way LIT is translated and how translators go about dealing with the different aspects of IT lexis such as collocation, metaphor, abbreviations and acronyms as well as menus and commands of the graphical user interface. The book discusses the emerging language of IT in English and its interaction with technology, which resulted in a special usage. It examines IT key words and their collocations, and how they are translated into both Arabic and Swedish. It also investigates how metaphor is used as a means of producing IT vocabulary and the way it is translated. The findings of the study are based on three electronic corpora of millions of words (one corpus for each language) that were specially compiled for the study. One pioneering aspect of the book is the discussion of how software and web site interfaces are dealt with in a translational context in both TLs. The book is very useful for researchers and students of Translation Studies, Corpus Linguistics, and Localization as well as for translators and localizers.

Webster's Hmong - English Thesaurus Dictionary

Webster's Hmong - English Thesaurus Dictionary


If you are learning Hmong, this book was not created for you, and you should not purchase it. It was created for completely fluent mother-tongue speakers of Hmong who already know the full meaning of Hmong words, but who need to learn how a single English translation of a Hmong word may have ambiguous meanings in the English language. It is designed for bi-lingual education for the non-English reader who wants to improve English-language test scores covering English synonyms. Synonyms may bear no relationship to a translation word (e.g. “love” can signify both an emotion and a score of zero in tennis; zero, while being a synonym of love, is likely to be a bad translation to the original Hmong headword). This is a regular English thesaurus, like Roget’s, but the entries are sorted alphabetically using headwords from Hmong. It cannot be used to translate between the two languages, but may help a fluent speaker of Hmong who is learning basic English, to learn the ambiguities of the English language and its vocabulary. The synonyms for each headword are not translations; Hmong words are used to facilitate “looking up” English synonyms. Prior to purchase, educators and students should review the contents of this unique form of thesaurus which is free to view on Google books, or using Amazon’s “look inside” function. Public domain translations used were contributed to Webster’s Online Dictionary and have originated from uncited volunteers, native speakers, professional translators, field linguists and academics (not by the editor of the thesaurus). If you would like citation for any translations, make suggestions, note errors, or contribute in any other way, please email Philip M. Parker at INSEAD, who will periodically update this series.

Lost and Found in Translation: Contemporary Ethnic American Writing and the Politics of Language Diversity

Lost and Found in Translation: Contemporary Ethnic American Writing and the Politics of Language Diversity


Starting with Salman Rushdie's assertion that even though something is always lost in translation, something can always be gained, Martha Cutter examines the trope of translation in twenty English-language novels and autobiographies by contemporary ethnic American writers. She argues that these works advocate a politics of language diversity--a literary and social agenda that validates the multiplicity of ethnic cultures and tongues in the United States. Cutter studies works by Asian American, Native American, African American, and Mexican American authors. She argues that translation between cultures, languages, and dialects creates a new language that, in its diversity, constitutes the true heritage of the United States. Through the metaphor of translation, Cutter demonstrates, writers such as Maxine Hong Kingston, Sherman Alexie, Toni Morrison, and Richard Rodriguez establish a place within American society for the many languages spoken by multiethnic and multicultural individuals. Cutter concludes with an analysis of contemporary debates over language policy, such as English-only legislation, the recognition of Ebonics, and the growing acceptance of bilingualism. The focus on translation by so many multiethnic writers, she contends, offers hope in our postmodern culture for a new condition in which creatively fused languages renovate the communications of the dominant society and create new kinds of identity for multicultural individuals.

Relevant Worlds: Current Perspectives on Language, Translation and Relevance Theory

Relevant Worlds: Current Perspectives on Language, Translation and Relevance Theory


The present volume examines Relevance Theory, one of the most influential pragmatic approaches to communication rooted in human cognition, by testing both its internal coherence and its applicability to such forms of communication as translation and literature. Part I addresses a wide range of issues which, over recent years, have been of central interest to pragmatists, including relevance theorists, but may well appeal to readers less familiar with pragmatic theory. The papers discuss selected pragmatic phenomena as diverse as conversational humour, politeness, echoicity, garden-path utterances, the explicit-implicit distinction and the role of inferential processes in communication, with a view to applying, evaluating and revisiting the basic tenets of Relevance Theory. Part II is devoted to various aspects of translation. The papers test the applicability of Relevance Theory, depending on the subject, the genre and the aim of the given translation. Most of the articles analyse specific areas of translation practice, for example the translation of popular science, legal texts, film and fiction. A collection of papers on varied linguistic and cultural phenomena, this book will be a valuable resource for scholars and students of pragmatics (including cognitive and experimental pragmatics), semantics, sociolinguistics and Translation Studies.
