- ItemProfessionele vertalers as woordeboekgebruikers(Bureau of the WAT, 2007) Crafford, M. F.; Feinauer, Ilse'n Ondersoek na die eienskappe en werkswyse van professionele vertalers en die kenmerke van die vertaalproses toon dat professionele vertalers spesifieke leksikografiese behoeftes het wat nie volledig deur tradisionele tweetalige woordeboeke bevredig kan word nie. Die probleme of behoeftes wat by die professionele vertaling van T2 > T1-tekste kan ontstaan en deur die leksikografiese data in 'n vertaalwoordeboek opgelos of bevredig kan word, word onder-soek. Die begrippe tweetalige woordeboek, vertalende woordeboek en vertaalwoordeboek word bespreek. Op grond van die werklike doel en funksies van 'n vertaalwoordeboek word oorwegings uitgelig wat by die produksie van 'n vertaalwoordeboek in ag geneem moet word.
- ItemVertalers en hul bronne : die behoefte aan 'n vertaalwoordeboek met Engels en Afrikaans as behandelde taalpaar(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2005-03) Crafford, M. F.; Feinauer, A. E.; Gouws, R. H.; Stellenbosch University. Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences. Dept. of Afrikaans & Dutch.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Dictionaries are important translation tools, but cause a lot of frustration when they either fail to provide the help required or offer very little guidance. This study examines the reasons that bilingual dictionaries in particular do not always provide satisfactory support to professional translators. Translation theory and different approaches to both the process and the product of translation are investigated. Specific attention is paid to linguistic, text-linguistic and functionalist approaches to translation. The study traces the development of lexicographic theory and practice, and highlights the linguistic genealogy of lexicography. Lexicography and translation studies share this genealogy. The concept of equivalence as it relates to both these academic disciplines - translation studies and lexicography - is investigated. Professional translation entails more than translating individual words or choosing the correct translation equivalent from a bilingual dictionary, and professional translators therefore tend to regard most existing bilingual dictionaries as unsatisfactory, insufficient and inadequate. The terms "bilingual dictionary", "translating/translatory dictionary", and "translation dictionary" are discussed. Requirements for a translation dictionary are identified based on research findings concerning the translation process, translation strategies, typical translation problems, and the requisite skills of professional translators. A translation dictionary should be designed so as to assist professional translators in solving problems related to the reception, translation, and production of texts. It should be based on a representative corpus of real language use. Finally, a lexicographic model of an English-Afrikaans translation dictionary is constructed, based on the genuine purpose and the lexicographic functions of a dictionary aimed at the needs of professional translators. A process of simultaneous feedback is recommended when new dictionaries are compiled.
