Dinamika otklona od izvornika tijekom izrade prijevoda - Antunović, Goranka (Array, 2012)
Summary: In contemporary Translation Studies, much of the process research is done with the help of keystroke logging applications which enable the researcher to reconstruct and analyse the translation process. Data collected with Translog 2006 is used in this study to investigate the extent to which the expectation can be confirmed that more literal renderings precede those that result from self-revision and are more removed from the source (cf. Ivir 1981, Tirkkonen-Condit 2005 ; Englund Dimitrova 2005). The analysis is based on the logs of ten students majoring in English and Swedish and having some translation training and experience, who worked on comparable texts from their L2 (English) and L3 (Swedish) into their L1 (Croatian). By comparing the successive solutions the subjects wrote down and then revised, the paper aims to establish whether there is a dominant pattern regarding what we call ‘distance dynamics’, i.e. changes in the distance between each solution produced by the translator (during the translation process) and the source item’s formal correspondent. In addition to providing an insight into whether the formal correspondent is the starting point in the decision-making process, the analysis will allow a within-subject comparison in the patterns of distance dynamics, and then attempt to relate the patterns to individual translating style or to the level of competence in the source language.
