Translation as a Communication Strategy in Representing National Culture

Abstract

The linguistic trinity policy, which has been implemented in Kazakhstan since its independence in the 1990s, is aimed at integrating translation into global processes. Kazakh-Russian bilingualism, caused by the historical and geopolitical proximity of the two countries, is now turning into trilingualism, joining up with English as the dominant language for international communication. Literary translation as a part of cross-cultural communication is also involved in social inclusion processes, contributing to the exchange of cultural values and a better understanding of modern multilingual Kazakhstani society. This article focuses on the issue of presenting Kazakh literature in translation through a mediating language and the research involves an analysis of culture-related lexemes as representations of a nomadic lifestyle in the mirror of intercultural communication. The authors highlight cultural and linguistic aspects of Kazakh transmitted from the mediatory Russian into the target English. Based on a review of previous findings on indirect literary translation, this article discusses whether a mediating language affects the inclusion of Kazakh culture in the globalization process.

Minor literatures here means literatures written in peripheral languages such as Kazakh language.…”

Social Inclusion and Multilingualism: Linguistic Justice and Language Policy

“…Kazakhstan, a country within the former Soviet and the contemporary Russian orbit has even adopted an official trilingual policy, including an equally prominent status for native Kazakh, Russian, and English. Akkaliyeva, Abdykhanova, Meirambekova, Jambaeyva, and Tussupbekova (2021) convincingly argue in their contribution that Russian functions as a pivot between Kazakh and English in the translation of literary texts. Bayekeyeva, Tazhibayeva, Beisenova, Shaheen, and Bayekeyeva (2021) make a similar point in connection with multilingual thesauri for Kazakh industryspecific terms where Russian mediates between the Kazakh and English languages.…”

Analysis Translation Strategies in “Anti-Hero” Song by Taylor Swift in English to Indonesian Language

“…The process of translating from the source text (SL) into the target language (TL) is inseparable from the influence of the translation itself and the equivalent words and meanings from the source language into the target language. The era of global communication requires language translation according to the target language of the community so that the message conveyed can be understood and understood (Akkaliyeva et al, 2021). According Rosalina (2022) Communication is essentially a process that occurs both individuals or groups of people (which are called communicators) convey stimulation in the form of symbols in the form of words) to change the behavior of other people who are called communicants.Non-literary products such as scientific textbooks, journals, research reports, official documents and literary products such as films, songs, novels, short stories, romances and poetry can spread rapidly throughout the world thanks to the role of translation or translation from the source language (SL) into the target language (TL).…”
