Specialized Translation 1. - BMEGT60S507

This course is designed to teach students the special features and essential key terms (bilingual terminology) of social sciences, technical, and economic texts and to improve competencies in specialised translation. In addition to translation skills, it teaches students how to perform revisions, make summaries and compile glossaries.

1. • Students are familiar with the special linguistic, (inter)textual and stylistic features, conventions of source texts in the field of social sciences, technology and economics.
2. • They know the essential key terms (terminology) typically used in these areas.
3. • They are familiar with the transfer operations, translation strategies to be used in these texts.

1. • They are able to recognise translation and terminology problems in these texts.
2. • They are able to use the appropriate grammatical and lexical transfer operations and translation strategies.
3. • They are able to describe and explain terminology phenomena and translation strategies.
4. • They are able to assess the reliability of their sources (databases, dictionaries, parallel texts).

1. • They are expected to constantly monitor changes in these areas, in particular the introduction of new terms.

1. • They assume responsibility for the quality of their translations and comply with deadlines.

Students receive translation assignments (or exercises to improve their translation skills, such as revision or sum-marisation assignments) every week. As a key priority of this course is to teach students the essential key terms used in these areas, students also carry our terminology work related to a text or a subject-specific area (e.g. collection of terms, creation of glossaries). Revision and team translation exercises are designed to improve soft skills (independence, responsibility, self-assessment and group assessment).

• A fordítási feladatok elvégzését az oktató által összeállított írott vagy szóbeli magyarázatok és az oktató által ajánlott további szakirodalmi források segítik.
• Assistance to the completion of translation assignments is provided through written or oral explanations created and literature recommended by the instructor.

A félév során a munka a szakterületek (társadalomtudományi, gazdasági, műszaki) szerinti blokkokban zajlik – a fordítási feladatok az adott szakterületről vett szakszövegekhez kapcsolódnak. Emellett a hallgatók a különböző szövegtípusokkal is megismerkednek. A félévben sorra vett témák így a szakterület és a szövegtípus szerint is el-különülnek egymástól.
