Enhancing thematic competence by exposure to professional discourse in economic translation

Original language description

This paper discusses a situation in a course on economic translations for BA students, and tries to show how exposure to professional discourse helps master the “lingo” of the professional community. An experiment has been carried out to show what impact, if any, the exposure to professional discourse has on the terminological and phraseological quality of translation. In controlled classroom settings, students are given a task to translate a text from the area of macroeconomics. The first subgroup of participants is asked to translate the text straightaway. The second subgroup is first exposed to a TV interview on macroeconomic performance, and then asked to translate the text. The third subgroup is presented with a financial newspaper article, and then asked to translate the text. Then the translations of the students are evaluated to see if there are any differences between the groups. The potential of using such exercises in specialized translation classroom is discussed.
