Class Materials for October 28, 2020

 

 I will have classes tomorrow but if you prefer to go to the protests then let your conscience be your guide.

All we'll do this week is the rest of the survey from last week (see previous post). I won't introduce any new material.

After class notes on that will be posted here on the blog so if you miss class you'll have access to it.

See you (or not) tomorrow.

 

Class Materials for October 21, 2020

Welcome! This is the blog for translation class for third year students in the Institute of Ethnolinguistics.

For this week, you'll need this.You'll need a way to write things down (not necessarily on the computer).

See y'all in class!

Last (optional) assignment!

Okay, I've put in your grades for the first semester.

I had been hoping that classes would have begun by now.... now I'm hoping that they'll start again in October (though I fear a 'second wave' will be used as an excuse to wipe out another semester...).

I've decided you've done enough work, but here is one more (optional) assignment. You don't have to do it but if you do, then it will raise your grade. Deadline June 14, 2020, at 20.00. I'll enter the second semester grades sometime around the 15th-16th... if you're unhappy with your grade then contact me (by email).

Here's the text.

Here's the original show (nb. the excerpts for translation are more edited than usual).

Also, I'm available by skype for consultations if you want to discuss particular assignments. If you want to discuss one or more assignments then send me an email so we can set up the specifics.

Class Assignment for May 20, 2020

A bit late, but here it is (parts of a couple of famous scenes and slightly edited).

Since it's Polish to English I'll give you more time for the deadline so send it to me by 20.00 June 02 (the day before we resume in person classes - if everything goes according to plan).

Remember the format for subtitles!

As always, take care and stay healthy (and masked in public!)

Class Materials for May 13, 2020

For this week there's just some background information on sitcoms which may be useful (yes, more sitcom subtitling is coming your way....)

Take care and stay healthy!

Class Assignment for May 06, 2019

Okay, it's time to translate some subtitles!

Here's the script.

Here's some info on the show.

Here's a guide on some of the conventions of subtitles.

Here's the episode (the scene starts at around 15:25). The video quality is very, very bad but it's what I could get. The subtitle script has been edited slightly for the purposes of the assignment.

Deadline is May 12, 2020 by 20.00

As always, take care and stay safe!
