Transformations in the Translation of Hard and Soft News Reports into Arabic
This study examines local transformations as a translation strategy of the news report genre from English into Arabic. It analyzes the frequency of deletion, substitution, addition, and reorganization to identify any relation between applying these transformations and news topics. This is achieved via a textual analysis of a parallel corpus of 60 texts of hard and soft news reports in English and Arabic derived from two sources: the Reuters (news agency) and BBC (news broadcaster) websites. Results show that deletion is by far the most frequently used transformation in both soft and hard news. Transformation frequencies are discussed in relation to the structural elements of news reports.
期刊介绍:
The aim of this international refereed journal is to promote original research into cross-language and cross-cultural studies in general, and Arabic-English contrastive and comparative studies in particular. Within this framework, the journal welcomes contributions to such areas of interest as comparative literature, contrastive textology, contrastive linguistics, lexicology, stylistics, and translation studies. The journal is also interested in theoretical and practical research on both English and Arabic as well as in foreign language education in the Arab world. Reviews of important, up-to- date, relevant publications in English and Arabic are also welcome. In addition to articles and book reviews, IJAES has room for notes, discussion and relevant academic presentations and reports. These may consist of comments, statements on current issues, short reports on ongoing research, or short replies to other articles. The International Journal of Arabic-English Studies (IJAES) is the forum of debate and research for the Association of Professors of English and Translation at Arab Universities (APETAU). However, contributions from scholars involved in language, literature and translation across language communities are invited.
