Sociolinguistics (P)

07/10/2021

Course title: Sociolinguistics
Course coordinator: Dr. Anđel Starčević, Assistant Professor
Instructor: Dr. Anđel Starčević, Assistant Professor
ECTS credits: 5
Language: English
Semester: II (summer)
Status: mandatory for translation students
Form of instruction: 2 lectures + 1 seminar per week
Examination: written

Course description: The course conceptualizes language as a process and a frame for various realizations or varieties, such as standard and non-standard dialects, sociolects, styles and jargons. It deals with describing and interpreting their functions in specific communities, as well as with the explicit and implicit metapragmatic levels of various language ideologies, which are an integral component of language use, often with important social consequences. The course is taught through lectures and seminar discussions, with an emphasis on individual work. For their weekly seminar work, students need to pre-read the assigned texts and be prepared to critically discuss them. During the semester, each student will present one seminar topic based on one of the assigned texts and formulate questions for discussion with the class. The final grade is based on the written exam.

Course objectives: Enabling students to understand the link between linguistic and extralinguistic phenomena, the interplay between the communicative and symbolic levels of language, and the role of language in creating ideological views. Developing the ability to critically consider prevalent ideas on language and language variability. Developing analytical skills for autonomous sociolinguistic research.

Localisation

30/09/2019

Module title: Localisation
Module coordinator: Dr Kristijan Nikolić, senior lecturer
Instructor: Dr Kristijan Nikolić, senior lecturer
ECTS credits : 5
Language of instruction: English
Semester: 2nd or 4th (summer)
Form of instruction: 1h lecture + 2 h seminar
Examination: final paper

Status: optional

Objectives: The purpose of this module is giving an insight into the nature of the localisation industry, the development of critical thinking about basic localisation concepts and processes, including quality and project management, as well as developing skills and knowledge key for the adaptation of a product to a certain locale.

Module contents:
Localisation involves linguistic and cultural adaptation of a product (for instance software, videogame and website) to a certain locale (country / region or language) in which it is going to be used and sold. Since an increasing number of users are digitally literate and since companies increasingly demand globalisation of their products that go over linguistic and cultural barriers, localisation industry is on the rise, which means that the need for translators who understand localisation is increasing. Knowhow and skills connected to localisation are gaining more importance, not only for students who wish to work in the localisation industry, but also for all students who plan to work as translators.

Topics:

Translation and localisation.
Website localisation.
Project management as a part of localisation.
Game localisation.
Risk management and soft skills.
Transcreation as a part of localisation.
Translation challenges in localisation.
Software localisation.
Multimedia localisation.

Module requirements:
Attendance is obligatory. Students will be asked to come prepared to classes (which involves reading and analysing literature). Active participation in the classroom is mandatory and students must complete necessary tasks/homework. The final grade is based on continuous assessment of all segments of work (attendance, active participation in the classroom and via e-learning, and the seminar/project work).

Semester: 2nd
Enrollment requirements: The students must pass the exam in Translation Workshop (1^st semester) prior to enrolling in this course.
Course description:
The aim of the course is to give a basic understanding and knowledge of political, legal and educational institutions in Croatian and English-speaking societies (the focus is placed on the UK and US), necessary for translators. The students will be made familiar with the key concepts of the institutional organization of the above mentioned societies and further develop translation skills acquired in the Translation Workshop course. The course will focus on highlighting the terminology and cultural problems that characterize translation in the environment of government and non-governmental organizations, public administration, educational institutions.
The course is divided into three blocks, each of them devoted to a particular topic: 1) political institutions and government, 2) legal institutions and 3) educational institutions. The format of the course is lectures and exercises.
Translation assignments cover a wide variety of text types and genres, such as, political speeches, administrative reports, and legal documents. In this one semester schedule, students will get a general overview of the different topics pertinent to the institutional aspects of these societies, with the possibility of pursuing some of the subjects in greater depth through further specialized courses.
The coursework is organized around projects that the students do in groups, partly in the virtual environment, on http://omega.ffzg.hr/ (Moodle). The students are encouraged to use printed and electronic resources, build corpora and terminology glossaries, revise their own and each other’s translations, manage translation projects, cooperate with subject-matter experts and clients, and so on. Guest speakers will be invited to share their professional experience.
Objectives: By the end of the course the students should show a good understanding of the subject matter (both in Croatian and English) of texts similar to those translated in the course, the ability to identify translation problems, use appropriate translation strategies and terminology.
Course requirements: Students get their final grade on the basis of their “portfolio” (collection of translations done during the course, both at home and in class, individually and in groups), three mid-term quizzes and three translation assignments done in class.
