Linguistic peculiarities of colloquial style



Problem question:

1. Why do we differentiate word-stock in the English and Kazakh/Russian languages?

2. Comment on the notions of dialects in the national languages and explain their significance for translation.

3. Why do we use colloquial words in informal language and do the interpreter use them in the translation process?

4. How can we convey peculiarities of translation of literary words?

5. How do you think what is more important for the translator: a term or a professionalism?

6. Speak on the difference between formal and informal speech. What does it depend on?

Pragmo-professional task:

1. The following words are bookish: “enraptured, tranquil, confronting (him), affrighted, involuntarily, reproof.” What are their synonyms in colloquial English?

2. Find the text and pick out the elements (lexical and syntactical) of colloquial speech and comment on them.

3. Point out the features of colloquial speech in the dialogue between the young men and Megan:

“Would you put us up?”

“Oh! I think we would.”

“Will you show us the way?”

“Yes, sir.”

He limped on, silent, and Garton took up the catechism.

“Are you a Devonshire girl?”

“No, sir.”

“What then?”

“From Wales.”

“Ah. I thought you were a Celt; so it`s not your farm?”

“My aunt`s, sir.”

“And your uncle`s?”

“He is dead.”

“Who farms it, then?”

“My aunt and my three cousins.”

“But your uncle was a Devonshire man?”

“Yes, sir.”

“Have you lived here long?”

“Seven years.”

“And how d`you like it after Wales?”

“I don`t know, sir.”
