“…Furthermore, of the many theoretical texts that have dealt with YA Literature in the meantime-e.g. regarding the various conceptualizations and research methodologies of adolescence (Trites, 2014;Gavin, 2012), or the new directions in the study of Children's and YA Literature (Wolf, Coats, Enciso & Jenkins, 2011;Reynolds, 2007;Hunt, 2004;McCallum, 1999)-some have led me to enrich my present approach with a certain amount of additional insights detected throughout Chambers' novel.…”

“…I et af de seneste bidrag til ungdomslitteraturforskningen viser Roberta Seelinger Trites ud fra kognitiv lingvistik og narratologi, hvordan "growth" både som metafor og som narrativt mønster er allestedsnaervaerende i ungdomslitteratur (Trites 2014). 5 I sit tidligere bidrag til feltet, Disturbing the Universe 2000, kom Trites frem til, at hovedpersonen i slutningen af de fleste ungdomsromaner enten er modnet til en grad af konformitet eller er død (Trites 2000, 1).…”

“Young Adult Literature in Transformation”Through a media attentive analysis of the novel Akavet by Ronnie Andersen (2014) and brief discussions of other popular novels for and about young adults, this article examines the way young adult literature develops in dialogue with digital and media-based impulses and the consequences this development may have for the predication of youth and the aesthetics and possible characteristics of young adult literature. The article is based on a materiality approach especially inspired by N. Katherine Hayles which has not previously been given attention in the reading of young adult literature or in discussions of possible characteristics of young adult literature. It also includes a discussion of and a variation of Hayles’ triad of form, content and medium, and it assigns a special role to the reader’s articulation inasmuch as Akavet entails a denaturalization of the reading process. From this basis it discusses the classic assumption that young adult literature is about young people’s development process from childhood to adulthood, outlining a passage characterized by linearity, maturity and growth. The article concludes that some young adult literature is realized on yet other premises and that Akavet can be seen as an exponent for a movement from young adult literature as stories of coming-of-age to stories of being-in-age.

“…Therefore, when using metaphor in translation, translators need to be aware of the differences between the SL and the TL cultures. Metaphors in some languages can be translated with precision, whereas others require a shift in metaphor which may change the original meaning and/or the cognitive effect of the reading process (Trites, 2014).…”

The transfer of expressive meaning in the translation of Thai amplifiers in the literary works into English

This study explores cross-language intensification in affirmative sentences by examining the translation of standard and strong amplifiers, words that scale upward from an assumed norm to emphasize a quality of any entities, from Thai into English, the types of shifts involved, as well as similarities and differences in the translation of amplifiers by native and non-native translators. The data comprises 1,254 source text amplifiers, which were drawn from a corpus of eight works of fiction in Thai and their English translations translated by professional translators. Research inquiries were made with two translators to identify decisions behind their translations. The analysis of the data revealed 13 linguistic devices through three processes in the English translation: morphological, lexical, and syntactic processes. The findings suggest the tendency to transfer standard and strong amplifiers through lexical choices (e.g., intensifiers, lexical coloring, emphasizing adjectives, and multiple intensifiers), followed by syntactic processes (e.g., exclamatory constructions, idioms, and rhetorical question). Two types of translation strategies were found to be used: translation with shifts including Modulation, Mutation, and Modification, and translation without shift (Absence of shift). The results indicate that most Thai amplifiers were not literally translated, but realized through shifts. The results also reveal the similarities in the translation of Thai amplifiers by Thai and non-Thai translators, which confirm that directionality and their background may not strongly affect their choices. Their selection was made in accordance with the context and register. The findings can provide pedagogical implications in translation courses and offer a varied repertoire of linguistic forms that can be selected in transferring the source text intensity
