Course content
|
This course is designed to provide the students with basic knowledge and first hand experience concerning stylistic rules of translating various types of texts from the Dutch to the Czech language. Firstly, the students get to know the characteristic features of the specific functional styles through the means of analysing parallel illustrative texts. Then are the students provided with an overview of functional build up elements of the communicate and of the compositional characteristics of the means of expression of the Czech language. Special attention is on one hand being paid to frequent stylistic mistakes and deficiencies in general (for example the unright syntagma, extreme expressiveness of the expression, clustering the uncoordinated elements, untrue subordinate clauses, anacoluthon, zeugma, attraction, contamination), on the other hand to the stylistic mistakes and deficiencies found in the students' own translations (thoughtless choice of words, using unnecessary words and expressions, violations of the Czech word order rules etc.). The students rehearse their stylistic skills through the means of translating texts from the Dutch to the Czech language or through carrying out editing assignments within defective texts. They evaluate and analyse the translations from the stylistic point of view, too.
