Dr. Ron Martinez
Interesting comments
• “I missed translating with a partner.”
• “It was harder to do the abstract without
seeing the actual article.”
• “It seems like it takes almost just as much time
to translate an abstract as the whole article.”
Interesting comments
• “I missed translating with a partner.”
•  In CAPA, translators will always work together.
• “It was harder to do the abstract without seeing
the actual article.”
•  Ideally, one should have the article to look at
when translating.
• “It seems like it takes almost just as much time to
translate an abstract as the whole article.”
•  Indeed, which is why abstract translation fees
are often scaled on a different system.
Abstract 1
Feedback to author
“transversalidade”?
• Thais
• Thais
• Helena
Learn this phrase: “To this end, …”
“study” vs. “research”
• Best to consider “research” uncountable.
“roda de conversa”?
Careful…
• Marianna
But be careful with articles…
• Carol
Abstract 2
• Sabrina
Careful…
• Isabel
• Ariane
• Carol
“Cohort study.”
• Thais
“Aninharam-se”?
• Marianna
“Defining” confidence intervals
• Daniele
• Helena
Articles (and prepositions) again…
Tricky, tricky…
• Consuelo
• Helena

Using a corpus in STT: ad hoc corpora
Talk about your experience!
• Build an ad hoc bilingual corpus of at least 10 research
articles (5 in English, 5 in Portuguese) on the subject
of...
• coffee beans...
• or elevators...
• or emoji...
• or yogurt...
• or something (specific!) of your choice.
• Produce a word frequency list for each language. Be
sure to save it and have access to it for next class.
Your first glossary:
1. With your partner, discuss the lists you
created.
2. How can they be used? Are they useful?
3. Any problems or shortcomings that you
noticed in the lists?
4. How can you identify which terms are
specialized?
AntConc: More advanced exploration
• In this activity, you will
– use the “word list” feature to generate concordances
and look at co-text;
– use the “n-gram” tool with customized settings to
identify terms that may be useful/important;
– use the “collocates” tool in various ways (including
using “Mutual Information” vs “T-Score” statistics) to
find useful combinations of terms;
– save your outputs to create a specialized glossary of
between 5-15 items on your blog (can be a Word file).
Assessment
• e-Portfolio (50%)
• Midterm (10%)
• Group presentation (10%)
• Final (15%)
• Participation (15%)
On your blogs
• Post your wordlists (can link to a Word file).
• Write between 150-300 words about the corpus
compiling and the wordlist analysis experience.
• Post your 3-column midterm translations (link to
a Word file), and write a reflection (300-800
words) about what you have learned so far in the
course, not only content, but about yourself as a
translator, and the translation experience in
general.

Scientific and technical translation in English - Week 8

  • 1. Scientific and Technical Translation in English: Week 8 Dr. Ron Martinez
  • 2. Interesting comments • “I missed translating with a partner.” • “It was harder to do the abstract without seeing the actual article.” • “It seems like it takes almost just as much time to translate an abstract as the whole article.”
  • 3. Interesting comments • “I missed translating with a partner.” •  In CAPA, translators will always work together. • “It was harder to do the abstract without seeing the actual article.” •  Ideally, one should have the article to look at when translating. • “It seems like it takes almost just as much time to translate an abstract as the whole article.” •  Indeed, which is why abstract translation fees are often scaled on a different system.

  • 45. Using a corpus in STT: ad hoc corpora
  • 46. Talk about your experience! • Build an ad hoc bilingual corpus of at least 10 research articles (5 in English, 5 in Portuguese) on the subject of... • coffee beans... • or elevators... • or emoji... • or yogurt... • or something (specific!) of your choice. • Produce a word frequency list for each language. Be sure to save it and have access to it for next class.
  • 47. Your first glossary: 1. With your partner, discuss the lists you created. 2. How can they be used? Are they useful? 3. Any problems or shortcomings that you noticed in the lists? 4. How can you identify which terms are specialized?
  • 48. AntConc: More advanced exploration • In this activity, you will – use the “word list” feature to generate concordances and look at co-text; – use the “n-gram” tool with customized settings to identify terms that may be useful/important; – use the “collocates” tool in various ways (including using “Mutual Information” vs “T-Score” statistics) to find useful combinations of terms; – save your outputs to create a specialized glossary of between 5-15 items on your blog (can be a Word file).
  • 49. Assessment • e-Portfolio (50%) • Midterm (10%) • Group presentation (10%) • Final (15%) • Participation (15%)
  • 50. On your blogs • Post your wordlists (can link to a Word file). • Write between 150-300 words about the corpus compiling and the wordlist analysis experience. • Post your 3-column midterm translations (link to a Word file), and write a reflection (300-800 words) about what you have learned so far in the course, not only content, but about yourself as a translator, and the translation experience in general.
