Issues of Translation in Mizumura's The Fall of Japanese in the Age of English: A Linguistic and Theoretical AnalysisOrme, Samuel 10 October 2013 (has links)
When translating between any two languages, both linguistic and theoretical considerations must be made in order to create a successful translation. These choices are not made separately, however, but are inextricably linked; linguistic choices inform theoretical choices, and vice versa. A full understanding of both fields is crucial to the translator. The relationship between these two disciplines is considered in outlining a strategy for translating a selection from The Fall of Japanese in the Age of English, a novel by Mizumura Minae. Linguistic issues unique to the Japanese languages are considered along with theoretical issues, which are joined to create a unified translation strategy.

The 'Genji Monogatari' : a loose sequence of vague phrases?McAuley, Thomas Evelyn January 1995 (has links)
In the thesis I test the hypothesis that Late Old Japanese (LOJ) is not, as has been claimed by a number of scholars, a language that is innately "vague", but that it is capable of conveying meaning clearly. To prove this I analyse the text of the Genji Monogatari in a number of ways. I study the usage of honorifics in the text and the relationship between honorific usage and court rank. I show that honorific usage very often obviates the need for grammatical subjects and objects, and where honorifics or the context are not sufficient, the author introduces subjects to clarify the meaning of the text. Furthermore, I demonstrate that over brief sections of text, one character might be "tagged" with a particular honorific in order to identify them. Status at the Heian court was determined by court rank, and the higher a person's rank, the more honorifics had to be used. I investigate how characters could be identified when several people of similar ranks interacted. This will show that use by the author of the category of theme as well as occasional subjects serves to identify characters. I examine the applicability of the phenomenon of switch reference to LOJ, attempting to determine how far it may have enabled the ommission of grammatical subjects, and where LOJ presents problems for the canonical account of switch reference. I examine syntactic differences between narrative and quotation, and excerpts where there are differences over where quotations begin, and cases where different characters' quotations follow each other directly with no overt marking to separate them. Finally, I study personal reference, covering the link between characters' sobriquets and the type of scene in which they are appearing, and the usage of personal pronouns and demonstratives in the text.

Ethnic archives in Canada: a case study of seven Japanese communitiesTsuruta, Sayuri 05 1900 (has links)
In the Canadian archival system, in the past, ethnic
communities were not encouraged to establish their own archives
because they were considered to.lack the resources required for
sustaining professionally acceptable archives. In recentyears
public archives have come to emphasize preservation of their parent
bodies' archives, and consequently fewer resources have been
available for preservation of private archives, including ethnic
archives. There is evidence that some ethnic communities are
concerned to preserve their archival materials. This thesis
examines the.efforts of Japanese-Canadian communities to preserve
archival materials bearing-on their historical experiences.
A case study using the method of focussed interviews of
Japanese-Canadian communities in seven cities revealed the
substantial will to preserve archival materials. The study
discovered that, while Japanese Canadians have been and are being
rapidly assimilated to the larger society, cultural interests and
the need for the sense of identity persist and are renewed by each
generation. Under these circumstances, community leadership sees
archival activities as an integral part of the community
activities. The case study also revealed strengths and weaknesses
of archival activities in those communities. Closeness to records
creators through formal and informal networks within the
communities provides community archives with distinct advantages.
These archives can easily identify and locate materials of
continuing value. They also have easy access to contextual
information on records and their creators. Weaknesses were
identified in defining acquisition policies and financial
resources. Contrary to concerns of some archivists and
researchers, most respondents are aware of the need to abide by
professional standards, and they are also willing . to make their
materials available to the general public.
Based on the findings of the case study, several
recommendations are offered. Preservation of ethnic archival
materials should be clearly recognized as a responsibility to be
assumed by both public archives and ethnic communities. To carry
out this responsibility effectively, planning and cooperation among
different archives and communities are essential. Ethnic
community-based archives, on their part, should follow the accepted
principles and practices, especially in the area of acquisition, so
that they function as a legitimate part of the Canadian archival
system. Networking among ethnic community archives is also
recommended in order to reveal relationships among their holdings. / Arts, Faculty of / Library, Archival and Information Studies (SLAIS), School of / Graduate

Japan's behavior in foreign resource investments in the post second world war periodOyama, Ikuo January 1972 (has links)
This thesis seeks to explore Japanese foreign investment criteria in resource industries, in order to determine what factors may influence the Japanese investment behavior in upstream investments. Japan's behavior for obtaining resources is becoming increasingly important in the world resource market because it requires substantial amounts of raw materials.
Five criteria were hypothesized to analyze Japanese investment behavior in resource industries in the post-Second World War period. These criteria may only be applicable to Japanese resource industries.
Japanese foreign investments were under tight government control until the end of the 1960's, and very few sizable resource investments were undertaken. Although resource investments have been Increasing over the past few years, Japan's resource investments and investment policies are still in transition.
Based on the country's own criteria and past behavior, an attempt was made to determine Japan's future behavior under the expected resources demand-supply conditions, expected economic conditions and political changes in the world. / Business, Sauder School of / Graduate
