Oh, how to translate it?
Original language description
The article deals with one of the discourse signposts, i.e. the expression oh. My aim is to show whether translators into Czech use mostly dictionary equivalents or whether they are creative, making use of other expressions too. Various studies (e.g. Olshtain and Cohen, 1990) show that non-native speakers tend to avoid the usage of these expressions in English as they seem to have difficulty in developing the proper sensitivity to use them. The result is that for native speakers non-native English sounds too ?straightforward? if not even impolite. I believe that raising students' awareness of these expressions both in Czech and in English, can improve their pragmatic knowledge and competence in this area.
