Cíle předmětu
Students will have learned to respond to questions such as the following: 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?
They will be able to appreciate recent developments in the 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.
They will be able to identify potential translation universals - 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). They will have acquired skills and knowledge relevant for studying these phenomena 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.
Students will be made aware that exploring translation universals represents an exciting point of view for contemplating translation, touching upon the very essence of the translation process. Students will enhance their competence in analyzing and assessing translations of both literary and non-literary texts and students refine their skills regarding 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 will have expanded their ability of critical reflection in the process of translating.

Výukové metody
Seminars combining group discussion of theoretical issues and activities mediating acquisition of specific practical translation and research skills. Students contribute to the joint discussion, work in pairs, analyze tendencies in their own translation, provide feedback on each others' translations, evaluate methodologies, develop research questions, and prepare and carry out a small research project of their own.
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%).
