В данном диссертационном исследовании анализируется опыт использования переводческих трансформаций в пособии Кэмерона Адэйра по выходу из игровой зависимости “Respawn”, впервые переведённого на русский язык, с позиции двух выбранных для сопоставления трансформационных типологий: Ж.-П. Вине и Ж. Дарбельне и Л. С. Бархударова. Актуальность исследования обуславливается общественным интересом к текстам и переводам, связанным с феноменом высокоскоростного интернета, к видеоиграм, а также необходимостью систематизации теорий переводческих трансформаций. / This master’s thesis analyzes the use of translation transformations in the first-time translated Cameron Adair’s “Respawn” manual on how to quit videogames.

The topic of the thesis is the use of translation exercises in foreign language lessons (namely Spanish). The first part of the thesis deals with the development of foreign language teaching, the status of mother tongue (and translation) in foreign language teaching, positive cross-linguistic transfer and interference. Further, individual methods of foreign language teaching are analyzed. It is stated whether or not the translation exercises are used for each of the methods. In the second part, we find the definition and categorization of the translation and examples of the translation exercises. The last part is focused on stylistics (narrative techniques, writing genres and functional styles). The specifics of translation are listed and the translation exercises are suggested for each functional style.

Lietuvių kalba išsiskiria ne tik turtingu žodynu, bet ir plačiomis galimybėmis mintis reikšti įvairios sandaros sakiniais: vientisiniais (asmeniniais dvinariais ir asmeniniais vienanariais, beasmeniais, asmeninių sakinių modifikacijomis), sudėtiniais (sujungiamaisiais, prijungiamaisiais, bejungtukiais, mišriaisiais). Mokinys, baigęs dešimtą klasę, turėtų išmanyti visas lietuvių kalbos sakinių rūšis, sandarą ir funkcijas, turėtų gebėti laisvai teorines žinias taikyti praktikoje – rašyti ir kalbėti funkcionaliais, įvairios sandaros sakiniais. Darbo tema – mokinių rašinių sakinio sandra ir funkcijos. Kalbant apie rašinius, daug dėmesio skiriama paties rašinio turiniui, stiliui, formai. Mokinių rašinių sakinio sintaksė ir funkcijos yra mažai tyrinėtos, nėra ištirta, kokios sandaros sakiniai mokinių rašiniuose dominuoja, o kokios sandaros vartojami retai, kas gali turėti įtakos mokinių rašinių sakinio struktūrai ir funkcijoms, neaišku, ar su amžiumi, lyginant 9–12 klasių mokinių sakinius, sakinio struktūra sudėtingėja. Ištyrus 60 vyresniųjų klasių (9–12) rašinių, galima pastebėti, kad mokiniai iš tiesų geba vartoti įvairių funkcinių tipų ir įvairios sandaros sakinius. Taip pat galima teigti, kad rašinio žanras turėjo įtakos funkcinių sakinių tipų vartojimui. Sakinių sandara taip tiesiogiai su rašinio žanru ar mokinių amžiumi susijusi nebuvo. Vyresniųjų klasių mokiniai vartojo sudėtingos struktūros sakinių, kurių visiškai nevartojo arba vartojo minimaliai jauniausi iš tirtų...

The tenth form leaver should know all kinds of sentences, sentence structure and its function. He/she should be able to use all his/her theoretical knowledge in practice, it means he/she should be able to speak and write using functional, various sentence structures. The theme of the work – sentence structure and function in schoolchildren‘s essays. Considering essays themselves, a lot of attention is paid to the context, style and form of the essay. There was little research done of sentence syntax and function in schoolchildren’s essays. There was no research done what kind of sentence structure dominate in schoolchildren essays, what sentence structure is rarely used and what makes an influence which sentence structure and function to use. Moreover, it is not clear, if sentence structure becomes more complex according to the schoolchild’s age, comparing schoolchildren’s essays of the 9th–12th form. After examining 60 essays of senior schoolchildren (the 9th–12th form) some statements could be made. Firstly, schoolchildren are really capable of using sentences of various functional styles and different... [to full text]

The aim of the Thesis ?Written texts in the matter-of-fact functional style? is to describe the changes of functional styles in present day communication, as the consequence of diminishing of differences between formality and informality. Concerning the extent of the issue, we will mainly focus on spontaneous written documents of the matter-of-fact functional style, which have been significantly replacing the primarily spoken speeches. The work goes on analysis of language material which has been gathered within opinion newsgroup portal Novinky.cz discussions. The analysis of the recorded materialis aimed at determining the way the spontaneous vicarious written documents resemble the speeches and considering if they keep some of their distinguishing features of a written text.
