Translating Song
Author: Peter Low
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 131724656X
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
This engaging step-by-step guide prescribes effective strategies and tactics for translating a wide range of songs and other vocal music, from classical to contemporary. Focusing on best practice and with a variety of language examples, the book centres on four key themes: translating songs for a range of recipients and within different contexts (skopos theory) translating songs for reading on paper or on screens (surtitles and subtitles) "singable translations" and the Pentathlon Approach translating expressive texts. With a substantial introduction, six insightful chapters, further reading and a glossary of key terms (also available at https://www.routledge.com/9781138641792 and on the Routledge Translation Studies Portal), this lively and clear student-friendly guide is essential for students, researchers and practitioners involved in or studying the practice of translating music. This will also be an engaging read for musicians and all those interested in the study of music.

Song Translation: Lyrics in Contexts
Author: Johan Franzon
Publisher: Frank & Timme GmbH
ISBN: 3732906566
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 498
Book Description
Song Translation: Lyrics in Contexts grew out of a project dedicated to the translation of song lyrics. The book aligns itself with the tradition of descriptive translation studies. Its authors, scholars from Finland, Great Britain, Greece, Italy, Norway and Sweden, all deal with the translation of song lyrics in a great variety of different contexts, including music and performance settings, (inter)cultural perspectives, and historical backgrounds. On the one hand, the analyses demonstrate the breadth and diversity of the concept of translation itself, on the other they show how different contexts set up conditions that shape translational practices and products in different ways. The book is intended for translation studies scholars as well as for musicologists, students of language and/or music and practicing translators; in short, anybody interested in this creative and fascinating field of translational practice.

Author: Yang Yang
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9811665893
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
This book brings audiences the enchanting melodies passing down from generation to generation in the Zhuang community, which are on the brink of extinction. Specifically, it sheds light on the origin, evolution and artistic features of Zhuang folk song in the first place, and then it shifts to their English translation based on meta-functional equivalence, through which the multi-aesthetics of Zhuang folk song have been represented. At length, forty classic Zhuang folk songs have been selected, and each could be sung bilingually in line with the stave. This book benefits researchers and students who are interested in music translation as well as the Zhuang ethnic music, culture and literature. It also gives readers an insight into musicology, anthropology and intercultural study.

Song of Songs and Ecclesiastes
Author: T. Givón
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing Company
ISBN: 9027262519
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 171
Book Description
Qohelet (Ecclesiastes). The two books slipped into the Jewish--and eventually Christian--Canon by a series of misrepresentations. The first, Song of Songs, is linguistically the latest book along the Biblical Hebrew dialect continuum, perhaps as late as 300-100 BC to judge by its language, which closely resembles Mishnaic Hebrew (2nd Cent. AD). The book is a lush, carnal poetic account of an illicit love affair, where lusty exchanges between the female beloved and her male lover are interspersed with rustic love songs. The ultimate provenance of the text may be older than the time it was recruited into the Canon, or the time suggested by its late dialect.The second book, Qohelet, is linguistically earlier on the Biblical Hebrew dialect continuum, though still following the return from the Babylonian exile (ca. 550 BC). Unlike Song of Songs, which is linguistically coherent and bears all the marks of having been produced by a native speaker (or speakers), Qohelet is replete with non-native lexical and grammatical usage, and was most likely produced by a speaker (or speakers) of Aramaic, the lingua franca of the Persian empire and the returning exiles. Multiple English translations of the two books exist. Nonetheless, in one way or another all previous translations suffer from two main drawbacks: First, their interpretation of the grammar – and on occasion also the vocabulary – of Biblical Hebrew is sometimes questionable. And second, the poetic quality of their English leaves much to be desired, paling in comparison with the stark beauty of the Hebrew original.This book attempts to do justice to both the contents and form of these two magnificent, deliciously subversive poetic works.

Song and Significance

Publisher: Rodopi
ISBN: 9042016876
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
Vocal translation is an old art, but the interpretive feeling, skill and craft have expanded into a relatively new area in translation studies. Vocal translation is the translation of the poetic discourse in the hybrid art of the musicopoetic (or poeticomusical) forms, shapes and skills. This symbiotic construct harmonizes together the conflicting roles of music and language in face-to-face singing performances. ...] In opera, folksong, hymn and art song, as well as in operetta, musical song and popular song, we have musical genres allied to a libretto with lyrical text. A libretto is a linguistic textwhich is a pre-existing work of art, but is subordinated to the musical text. The essays in this volume provide interpretive models for the juxtaposition of different orders of the singing sign-events in different languages, extending the meaning and range of the musical and literary concepts, and putting the mixed signs to a true-and-false test.

LXX Song of Songs and Descriptive Translation Studies
Author: Dries De Crom
Publisher: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht
ISBN: 3647570710
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
Dries De Crom intends to stimulate the cross-fertilization of Septuagint Studies and Translation Studies, particularly the theoretical framework of Descriptive Translation Studies (DTS). It engages with concepts and theories from DTS in order to demonstrate their applicability to the study of the Septuagint. The aim is not to replace the established methods of Septuagint Studies, but rather to show that they are fully compatible with descriptive approaches to translation. The greater part of the volume is dedicated to a meticulous verse-by-verse comparison between the LXX and MT texts of Song of Songs. As there is at present no full critical edition of the Greek texts of Song of Songs, due attention is given to the most important witnesses to the pre-Hexaplaric text. The textual study engages with matters of translation technique, textual criticism, linguistic interference and the interpretation of LXX Song of Songs. On the basis of this textual analysis, the volume explores the question of Kaige-Theodotion and LXX Song of Song's relation to it, as well as the peculiar textual-linguistic profile of LXX Songs of Songs, against the background of translational norms, interference, interlanguage and literary code.

Book Description
Buku ini sengaja dirancang sebagai panduan latihan langkah demi langkah bagi pemula dalam penerjemahan. Buku ini dirancang untuk pemula yang ingin mendalami seni menerjemahkan. Di sini, buku ini menawarkan pendekatan terstruktur untuk memahami prinsip-prinsip utama penerjemahan dengan beberapa praktik pada berbagai jenis teks. Teks-teks yang disusun dalam buku ini dipilih secara sederhana untuk memberikan latihan praktis guna mengasah keterampilan penerjemah pemula. Dengan memahami bahwa penerjemahan sebenarnya lebih dari sekedar mentransfer makna dari satu bahasa ke bahasa lain, seorang penerjemah tidak hanya bertugas menyampaikan makna secara akurat tetapi juga menangkap gaya, nuansa, nada, dan seluk-beluk budaya yang menjadikan setiap bahasa unik. Semua ini adalah ciri-ciri bahasa, budaya, dan konteks yang rumit—tindakan penyeimbangan yang memerlukan akurasi dan kelancaran, ketepatan dan kreativitas. Dengan demikian, hasil penerjemahan memenuhi ciri-ciri parameter penerjemahan yang sesuai dengan apa yang dikatakan teori, yaitu keakuratan, keberterimaan, dan keterbacaan.
