Good Saturday evening to everyone!🍓

Let’s play a game called Guess who said that: Howl’s Moving Castle edition📖

Good luck🤩

And to lighten your sleep time mood💖

Good evening, our lovely readers😃

In the light of our soon-to-be-released translation episode, we would like to brief you on 3 key lexical-semantic substitutions🤍 that you should know to be able to conduct a good translation:

1️⃣Concretisation

А word/phrase with a broad meaning in SL (source language) is translated as a unit with a more restricted meaning in TL (target language):

At five o'clock an excellent meal was served in the dining room. ➡️ В пять
часов в столовой был подан отличный обед.

2️⃣Generalisation (a.k.a. concretisation but vice versa)

A word/phrase with a narrow meaning in SL is transmitted with the choice of a broader concept:

Jane used to drive to market with her mother in their La Salle convertible. ➡️ Джейн ездила со своей матерью на рынок в их машине.

3️⃣Modulation

A word/phrase in SL is substituted with a TL unit that has undergone semantic development in comparison to the original:

I don’t blame them. ➡️ Я их понимаю. (The cause becomes the consequence)

Keep these 3 techniques in mind and you’ll be able to create a more holistic, natural-looking, and coherent translation!✨


🤩 — if you already knew these methods but were happy to revise them!

🥰 — if you’ve learnt something new this evening:)

Our dear readers 🪷

We are pleased to share with you the first episode of this month, dedicated to pre-translation analysis, Diana Wynne Jones, and her novel Howl's Moving Castle 👒

We apologize for the delay. It was caused by some unexpected technical issues (we were adjusting our vocal cords and articulatory apparatus to the cold November weather😍)

We hope you’ll enjoy the episode аnd it will warm you a little in this chilly snowy-rainy weather 🫣

With love,
The Engliture Team📚
