Translating Czech aspectual prefixes for teaching purposes
Original language description
This chapter discusses the problem of explaining a grammatical category of aspectual verbal prefixes in Czech to learners of the Czech language who use English as an auxiliary language. The data was collected from The Glossary of Czech Aspectual Prefixes which was designed to enhance L2 Czech speakers’ comprehension of the imperfective–perfective oppositions in the lexical fields such as skákat (“to jump”) vs. skočit, vyskočit, přeskočit, etc. After presenting the content and structure of the Glossary, a contrastive approach is applied to analyse translation shifts, i.e. the morphosyntactic, semantic, and pragmatic strategies adopted to achieve functional equivalence between model Czech sentences that exemplify the use of aspectual prefixes in authentic contexts and their English counterparts. The study contrasts the aspectual system in Czech with a corresponding grammatical category of the English verb, defines the cross-linguistic lexical gaps, and illustrates the potential choice of equivalents which could comply with a criterion for providing examples from real-life communicative situations.
