Applying Frame Semantics to Translation: A Practical Example
نویسنده
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 and Hybridity in Scenes and Frames Semantics
The present study is a theoretical attempt to illustrate how Fillmore's Scenes and Frames Semantics (SFS) could be employed as a framework to portray the process of understanding and translating hybrid texts. It first reviews the origin of SFS; then it maps SFS onto Nida’s linguistic model of translation process and the Interpretive Theory of Translation; it examines in the next section, withi...
متن کاملApplication of Frame Semantics to Teaching Seeing and Hearing Vocabulary to Iranian EFL Learners
A term in one language rarely has an absolute synonymous meaning in the same language; besides, it rarely has an equivalent meaning in an L2. English synonyms of seeing and hearing are particularly grammatically and semantically different. Frame semantics is a good tool for discovering differences between synonymous words in L2 and differences between supposed L1 and L2 equivalents. Vocabulary ...
متن کاملFrame Labeling of Competing Narratives in Journalistic Translation
Studying translations during the time of conflict has gained currency in the recent decade in translation studies. One of the cases in which conflict manifests itself is in the way different countries choose to name an event or a geographical location, for example. This study set out to understand how translation of rival names and labeling was carried out in Iranian state-run news agencies. To...
متن کاملTranslation 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.
متن کاملOn 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.
