Abstract

Atlama, pragmatik veya işleme kapasitesine ilişkin sebeplere bağlı olarak simultane çeviride kullanılan bir strateji veya tekniktir. Bu konuyla ilgili yaklaşımların gözden geçirilmesinin ardından bu çalışmada ana dil olmayan ve güçlü bir aksanın atlama stratejisi üzerindeki etkisi araştırılacaktır. Aşağıda detaylı olarak anlatıldığı gibi, aksan ile atlama stratejisi arasındaki ilişkiyi ele almak için son sınıf sözlü çeviri öğrencileri üzerinde bir deney gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ayrıca, deney sonrası anket ve görüşmeler yoluyla, sözlü çeviri öğrencilerinin konuşmaya ve kendi performanslarına ilişkin görüşleri de tartışılacaktır. Bu çalışmada sorulan araştırma sorularını cevaplandırmak için, güçlü ve ana dil olmayan bir İngilizce aksanı ile okunan bir metnin çevirileri ile, ana dil aksanı ile okunan benzer bir metnin son sınıf sözlü çeviri öğrencileri tarafından yapılan çevirileri karşılaştırılacaktır. Atlama ile ilgili olarak öğrenci performansları değerlendirildikten sonra, deneyden elde edilen veriler deney sonrası anket ve görüşmelerle desteklenecektir. Çalışmada ele alınan diğer araştırma sorusu da atlamaların türleri üzerinedir. Dolayısıyla çalışmada hem atlamaların kullanılıp kullanılmadığı hem de kullanıldıysa neden kullanıldığı üzerinde durulacaktır. Ortaya çıkan verilerle, güçlü ve ana dil olmayan bir aksan ile karşılaşıldığında sözlü çeviri öğrencileri tarafından simultane çeviride atlama stratejisinin kullanımının detaylı incelenmesi ve hem pratik hem de pedagojik açıdan önemli sonuçlara varılması umulmaktadır.

The Impact of Non-Native English on Omissions in Simultaneous Interpreting

Abstract

Omission is a strategy or technique in interpreting, whether it is made for pragmatic reasons or processing capacity reasons. Following a review of the approaches to omission, this study sets out to explore the impact of a strong, non-native English accent on omission, if any. An experiment has been carried out on senior interpreting students, described below in detail to seek the relation between accent and omission. Moreover, the self-perceptions of interpreting students regarding the speech and their own performance obtained through post-experiment questionnaires and interviews will be discussed. In order to answer the research questions asked below, senior interpreting students’ simultaneous interpreting performances of identical texts read with and without a strong non-native English will be compared. After the student performances are analysed with respect to omission, the data will be backed by post-experiment questionnaires and interviews. The other research question is on the types of omissions. Thus, the study will dwell on both whether omissions are made, and if yes, why they are made. The conclusions are hoped to shed light on the use of the strategy of omission in simultaneous interpreting by interpreting students in the case of a strong, non-native accent and to have pedagogical implications besides practical ones.
