Applying Frame Semantics to Translation: A Practical Example

نویسنده

  • Ana María Rojo López
چکیده

This work intends to illustrate some of the contributions the semantic theory known as ‘Frame Semantics’ can make to the translation of cultural elements. The study starts by defining the objectives and basic concepts that constitute our model of analysis. Secondly, a typology of frames for the analysis of our examples is proposed. Later on, this typology is applied to the analysis of a number of examples extracted from David Lodge’s novel Small World and its translation into Spanish El Mundo es un Pañuelo. Finally, we summarize the main conclusion of the study.

Translation surfaces according to a new frame

In this paper we studied the translation surfaces according to a new frame called q-frame in three dimensional Euclidean space. The curvatures of the translation surface are obtained in terms of q-frame curvatures. Finally some special cases are investigated for these surfaces.

On a new G-frame and duality

We introduce a new g-frame (singleton g-frame), g-orthonormal basis and g-Riesz basis and study corresponding notions in some other generalizations of frames.Also, we investigate duality  for some kinds of g-frames. Finally, we illustrate an example which provides a  suitable translation from discrete frames to Sun's g-frames.
