Modulacion

I’ll take
a stab at
it.
What is Modulation?

It is an Empiric
Method Problem……

Yeah.
Wait Sebas-chan!! I know
the defenition.
It alows us to see the
fundamental
caricteristics of
traslation more
clearly.
As well as the
distance between the
letters as we write
them.

Isn’t that right

Uh….. Yeah. What
else Grell?
Well, according to what
my gifted little brain
says:
It is the oppicite of
transposition, in the
catigory of Expressive
Semantic
Displacements, which
can be seperated into
it’s respected
Subclasses.
Abandoning
‘Lititerality’ does not
mean avoiding all
Lexeme couterparts
and replacing them
with sinonims so that
it has a Literal feel.
‘obliquity’, in the
new theory of
translation, it goes
much further then
simple mechanic
variations of the
announcement
terms.
With obiquity
translation, we
understand a faithful
translation that
upholds the intencion
of the orignial auther
and prespectible
language.
Hmph, well I heard
that and I know
about this particular
subject.
OH really, won’t you
tell us about it?
This is what I know!!!
Well, the procedure
states that in order
to change the
literality we
have to use
Modulation.
Modulation is the
stylish notion shared
and consist of a
change in the
conceptual base in the
interior of a
proposition. Without
changing the
meaning.
Mmmnn…

ACHOO! Salud.
Hey that is an
Example!
Bless you is
translated as Salud,
it shows that there is
a pshycological and
Spontaniuse
response in both
lenguajes.
In order to determain
what we must
respond, we must
first ask ourselves:
How is it said in the
other language?
A linguistic fact that
oposses the spirit of
the language.

We resort to the key

soultion, consisting
of doing the same
question with the
goal of keeping an
active and creative
frame of mind of LT.

I don’t know, let’s
ask the teacher.
Well teacher?
Now that we
have your
attencion.

Let us
continue.
Let’s explaine the process:
the first version
shows the lack of
modulation , because
a Spanish speaker
would express
himself by the
second form .

Furthermore, it is
notice that most of
the lay translators
manage to conduct
“transpositions”, but
most of the errors
are because to the
On the other hand,
modifications made
by modulation, no

they look, are
necessary.
Translators need to

and perception. The
changes can affect

A “False modulation”
frequently produces
a message distortion
because it depends
more than other of
the subjectivity of
the translator.
Truth is that, “the
translator who doesn
´t modulates is not a
translator;” says
Vinay and Darbelnet.
The efficiency of
modulation proves
the translator´s
sensibility,
experience, and
imagination, and
requires ingenious

 Such monemas taken

appropriate for it
Taking the same

It’s easy to figure out Click to edit Master text styles
that if we take the direct Second level

configurations and we
add them, we won’t be
able to obtain, as a
result of that sum, an
abstract meaning of the
complete expression.
Therefore, the meanings of the expressions
are called EXOCENTRIC. Exocentric
expressions are configurations of which their
meanings cannot be predicted just by
availing the significance of the monemas.
