Selected Aspects of Linguistic Analysis of the Source Text from the Perspective of Human Simultaneous Interpreting and Automated Simultaneous Translation from English into Czech
Purchartová, Petra ; Kloudová, Věra (advisor) ; Ešnerová, Kateřina (referee)
This interdisciplinary thesis focuses on linguistic features that might potentially cause problems both for human simultaneous interpreting and spoken language translation. The thesis also compares these features with actual human interpreting. The aim of the theoretical part is to define terminology, describe existing research and outline main bases of natural language processing, translation studies and linguistics. The theoretical outline then determines the second, empirical part of the thesis. The empirical part also uses a primary data source - a data corpus of European Parliament speeches, that were segmented into minimal translation units and translated during a student research project at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at Charles University. The empirical part is overall based on qualitative analysis of the annotated English source texts and actual interpreting into Czech, and tries to identify the most problematic linguistic features. The findings of the analysis together with the theory of translation then offer possible solutions for the spoken language translation technology.
