Cíle předmětu
Are texts created as translations in any way different from original, untranslated texts (in the same language)? If so, how can these differences be described? It is these questions that a branch of Translation Studies dealing with the so-called translation universals, i.e. phenomena with a higher distribution in translated texts than non-translated texts, disregarding the source language, is trying to answer.
Potential translation universals include on the one hand simplification, conventionalization, lexical phrases untypical of the target language, lower distribution of lexis specific to the target language (all that compared with non-translated texts in the same language) and on the other hand text lengthening, interference, standardization, explicitation, dialect normalization, narrative point of view simplification, use of more conventional collocations, reduction of repetition (compared with source texts).
The main objective of the course is to make students learn to identify these phenomena and acquire skills and knowledge relevant for studying them in texts translated from English. Students will also develop a basic orientation in the methods and results of research in this branch of Translation Studies. Students' own translations as well as public corpora and corpora developed in the Department of English and American Studies will be used.
Touching upon the very essence of the process of translation, exploring translation universals represents an exciting point of view for contemplating translation. Translations of both literary and non-literary texts will be explored and students will learn the basics of the methodology used in this type of research, which may lead to formulation of diploma theses projects. From the practical point of view, students should expand their ability of critical reflection in the process of translating.

Metody hodnocení
The seminars will use class discussion, focusing on concept definitions and analysis, research methodology and reporting (covering a range of assigned literature - mainly empirical studies), critical reading and students' own research proposals.
Regular class attendance is expected.
The evaluation will include the result of a course-unit credit test to be written in the end of the course (30%) and a final essay in the form a student's own empirical research covering a topic formulated by the student towards the end of the course (70%).
