1	Occurrence of Synonymy in Academic Prose and Fiction./Výskyt synonymie v odborných textech a v textech prózy. KARASOVÁ, Kristýna January 2014 (has links) This diploma thesis analyses the occurrence of synonymy in the texts of academic prose and fiction. The topic of synonymy has been in the centre of attention for a long time and it still deserves much attention. The aim of this thesis is to approach to the topic from a different perspective. Theoretical part describes the theoretical background of synonymy from the upper layers of the system of language. These theories are used as analytical tool in analysing the collected samples with the focus on similarities and differences in connotation of pairs of synonyms. The diploma thesis should particularly contribute to study of partial synonymy and the components of associative meaning that vary in dependence on functional style. This thesis should also marginally refer to the topic of absolute synonymy. The frequency of the components of associative meaning and findings are described in the conclusion of the thesis.
2	Kavata flickor och känsliga pojkar : Zur Übersetzung schwedischer Kollokationen ins Deutsche am Beispiel von zwei Sachtexten über schwedische Kinderliteratur Weiland, Caroline January 2014 (has links) This essay deals with translation changes and problems that occur when translating collocations, i.e. sequences of words that are usually combined such as work hard, from Swedish to German. Being an essential part of our communication, collocations are common both in everyday-life and in technical terminology. This qualitative research deals with collocations in scientific texts about children’s literature and aims to increase attention on collocations in the translation process. The term collocation as used here refers to the concept of hierarchical relations between the lexemes of a collocation by the German linguist F. J. Hausmann (1984), distinguishing between bases and collocators. It proved itself useful in the translation process and showed that the translator must pay special attention to the collocator in order to find the equivalent expression in the target language. In doing so he/she is not at all obliged to translate a collocation with the respective target collocation. In fact due to stylistic reasons collocations were replaced by individual lexemes or paraphrases. Referring to Hausmann’s terminology and the studies of Baker (1992) this essay highlights the importance of considering collocations as translation units, i.e. not translating the lexemes of a collocation separately. Furthermore the assumption was disproved that translation errors, e.g. interferences and semantic deficits, are mainly caused when translating collocations to a foreign language. Even translators translating into their mother tongue have to examine collocations carefully to avoid errors that can result in doubts about the quality of the whole translation. translation German Swedish collocation base collocator collocative partners recurrent word combinations interference culture-specific collocations Übersetzung Schwedisch Deutsch Kollokation Basis Kollokator Kollokationspartner Wortkombinationen Interferenz kulturspezifische Kollokationen Übersetzungsprobleme översättning tyska svenska kollokation basis kollokator kollokationspartner ordkombinationer interferens kulturspecifiska kollokationer Humanities and the Arts Humaniora och konst Specific Languages Studier av enskilda språk
