Auto/matic Translation In Academic Discourse: The Case Of Doctoral Dissertation Abstracts
Authors : Hamerlain Souâd .
Abstract
The present paper builds on the metadiscoursal (interpersonal and textual) strategies and rhetorical moves (situating the research, purpose, method, results, and conclusion) as underscored in some scholars’ focus on crosslinguistic differences in academic discourse (Santos, 1996, Melander et al., 1997) to eventually link them to the translation activity. It, more specifically, takes randomly selected abstracts of doctoral dissertations defended between 2010-2015 at the University of Mostaganem and studies: (1) researchers’ self-translations of French (as their working language) into English and Arabic; (2) their attested mis/use of automatic translation. Toward these ends, we posit, after a number of translationese, that candidates do not attribute enough importance to the semantic layer when working out their Target Language Texts (TLTs).
