“…While text typology and the influential skopos theory (Reiss 1982;Reiss & Vermeer 1984: 214) became increasingly a factor seen as determining different translation strategies for different text types, the level of translational strategy of the individual sentence was interpreted to be the semantic rather than the pragmatic level of the individual phrase . However, in the so-called functionalist approach, represented by Hönig and Kussmaul (1982), Wilss (1982Wilss ( , 1996 and Nord (1997), pragmatics becomes relevant not only in terms of the determination of the text-type but also for the translation of the individual element. Hönig and Kussmaul have integrated speech act theory into translation theory and teaching methodology in depth and explain the relevance of seeing utterances as speech acts in their 1982 didactic handbook on translation.…”

A question of time? Question types and speech act shifts from a historical-contrastive perspective

Our paper on question types and speech act shifts has a twofold aim. Firstly, we want to combine the perspective of contrastive pragmatics with a historical dimension in order to analyse the speech act of asking a question and speech act shifts from a cross-linguistic historical perspective. The premise is that speech acts change and that speech acts described in texts are therefore understood differently at different times. Secondly, in order to document illocutionary changes and shifts we make use of translation studies and determine possible changes via a comparison between the original text and its translations.Our study has the following structure. After introducing the concept of historical pragmatics and discussing some crossroads between historical and contrastive pragmatics (1) we link both disciplines with the field of translation studies (2). Based on this theoretical framework we demonstrate the relevance of historical pragmatics for translation practice by looking at two examples of historical texts -one from Old Spanish and one from Middle English -and their various modern translations. In the Old Spanish Cantar de mio Cid (3) we focus on question types and ask whether the medieval text presents question types which are not asked any longer. In our second text, Chaucer's Wife of Bath's Prologue and Tale (4), we analyse two examples of speech act shift portrayed in the various translations of this historical text and discuss possible motivations for the illocutionary shift in two of the translations given.

Quel est l'intérêt particulier que présente la traduction médicale en situation d'enseignement universitaire ? Qu'est-ce qui a changé dans ce domaine au fil du temps ? De quels facteurs nouveaux doit tenir compte le professeur en prodiguant cette discipline ? Voilà quelques questions auxquelles nous tentons de répondre en nous basant sur notre propre expérience en situation d'enseignement universitaire.What is the relevance of medical translation in a university-level course? What has changed in this field over the years? What new elements should be taken into account when teaching the course? These are some of the questions that we shall attempt to answer from our own experience in university teaching

Many universities have now incorporated commercially available translators ' workbench-style systems into their translator-training programmes. But, when it comes to computer-aided translation (CAT), the university's role need not be confined to teaching students how to operate some third party's system; rather new CAT tools open up whole new areas of research. For example, experience of Trados's Translator's Workbench suggests that workbench features such as automatic terminology recognition and translation memories stand to bring about fundamental changes in the way terminology is recorded and texts are authored. State-of-the-art CAT tools can also make a contribution to Descriptive Translation Studies and translation pedagogy. Résumé: Les postes de travail du traducteur (PTT) font désormais partie intégrante de nombreux programmes universitaires de formation des traducteurs/ traductrices. Des logiciels tels que le Translator's Workbench de Trados ouvrent de nouvelles perspectives de recherche aux universitaires. Dans cet article, nous étudions les usages actuels et futurs des PTT ayant trait à la rédaction de textes, la terminographie, la pédagogie de la traduction et la traductologie.
