A STUDY ON THE PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED IN SIGHT TRANSLATION

Öz

This experimental research presents the problems and their underlying reasons in sight translation from one’s native language (Turkish) into a foreign language (English). The study analyzes the performances of nine sophomore students, as regards faithfulness to meaning and the purpose of the source message, proper use of expression, grammar and syntax, background knowledge about the specified context and problem solving skills. Results reveal that to produce high-quality translations, students’ awareness and internalization of cognitive skills and constructive control of perceptions and motivations is necessarily significant.

YAZILI METİNDEN SÖZLÜ ÇEVİRİ SÜRECİNDE KARŞILAŞILAN SORUNLAR ÜZERİNE BİR ARAŞTIRMA

Öz

Bu deneysel araştırmada anadil (Türkçe)’den yabancı dile (İngilizce) yazılı metinden sözlü çeviri yaparken karşılaşılan sorunlar ve bunların sebepleri incelenmiştir. Çalışmada dokuz adet 2.sınıf öğrencisinin çevirileri anlama sadık olma, kaynak iletinin amacı, ifade, sözdizim ve dilbilgisinin doğru kullanımı, belirli bağlama ait art alan bilgisi ve sorun çözme becerileri gözönüne alınarak değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, kaliteli çeviriler üretebilmek için öğrencilerin farkındalık kazanmaları ve bilişsel becerileri içselleştirip, yapıcı motivasyon ve algı kontrolünü sağlamaları çok önem teşkil etmektedir.
