Source Text Quality in the Translation Process

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

With respect to quality assessment, translation studies have traditionally put more emphasis on the quality of the output, that is, the target text, while the quality of the text to be translated has been taken for granted. This obviously stems from theperennial interest in translating literary texts, but the picture is quite different when considering what Newmark (1988) calls informative texts. Reasons to shift the attention to them are twofold: first, these source texts account for the majority of all translated material, and second, they are often of poor quality. As a result, "the majority of translations nowadays are better than their originals-or at least ought to be so" (Newmark 1988, 41). The aim of the present article is to confront the problem of source text quality, with particular attention paid to defect classification and potential strategies professional translators may adopt when facing a source text defect. Moreover, it offers results of a questionnaire survey carrie
