Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Intralingual Translation and Paratext: a Centennial Chase of Tevfik Fikret's Sermin(Ahmet Yesevi Univ, 2015) Kansu Yetkiner, Neslihan; Yetkin Karakoç, Nihal; Karakoç, Nihal Yetkin; Yetkiner, Neslihan KansuThe limited number of studies on intralingual translations reveals that the act of intralingual translation is named with different wording in the analysis of intralingual translations made from Ottoman into Turkish, and there is no agreement on its definition. The aim of this descriptive study is to shed light on the interventions made on diachronic intralingual translations both on intralingual and paratextual contexts and to follow the adventure of modernization through 30 different versions of Sermin (1914) by Tevfik Fikret, which constitutes one of the first children's poem books in the Turkish children's literature. The scrutiny of the intralingual translation strategies indicates that the apparent language modernization taking into account current linguistic features is not made on lexical and structure bases only, as the publishing house policies, pedagogical and ideological concerns have also a manipulative effect through paratextual elements in this process.Article Citation - WoS: 2Accidental Humor in Consecutive Interpreting: Accidentally Useful Food for Thought(Istanbul Univ, Fac Letters, 2021-11-26) Yetkin Karakoç, Nihal; Karakoç, Nihal Yetkin; Yetkin-Karakoc, NihalUnlike humor translation, humor in translation, caused by translation errors, is underresearched in translation studies. Accidental humor, as a subgroup of humor, has been analyzed in translation contexts, but to the best knowledge of the author, not in the interpreting context. This descriptive study, being the first of its kind dealing with the accidental humor in consecutive interpreting, is intended to fill the gap in the verbal manifestations of resources in the English-Turkish interpreting context along with the possible reasons for resources of accidental humor in consecutive interpreting class. As a result of the study, a total of 38 accidentally humorous instances are found. The verbal resources are analyzed and divided into main and sub-categories, and for each, examples from the corpus are discussed. In addition, new linguistic resources were discovered, which may be exclusive to this context. The detected items are by no means meant to be exhaustive, as also stated by the former studies, but nevertheless enables greater understanding about the types and possible causes of accidental humor which may occur during the consecutive interpreting process. Given the dearth of literature on accidental humor in consecutive interpreting, this study may provide some insight for remedial teaching/learning in interpreting studies, as well as linguistics. Future studies may examine, among the others, verbal resources in the simultaneous interpreting context and compare the verbal resources in depth in consecutive with those in simultaneous interpreting.Article Citation - WoS: 1Translation of Ambiguous Words by Translation Trainees(Selcuk Univ, Fac Letters, 2020-06-15) Mergen, Filiz; Yetkin Karakoç, Nihal; Karakoç, Nihal Yetkin; Yetkin-Karakoc, NihalAmbiguity has attracted the attention of researchers from many disciplines. With the aim of providing a perspective from translation, this psycholinguistic study investigated ambiguity in the translation performance of late bilinguals from English (L2) into Turkish (L1). We employed an oral translation task in which the participants (N= 51) translated 30 ambiguous words, (polysemes and homonyms) in contextualized sentences. First, we investigated whether word frequency affects the participants' translation accuracy. We found no significant difference between high and low frequency words, which is attributable to the proficiency of the participants, and the facilitating role of sentential context. Secondly, we aimed to explore whether the nature of the ambiguous words made any difference to the participants' translation performance. The results showed that polysemous words were translated with greater accuracy than homonymous words, in line with the data in the literature regarding the differences in the representation and processing of polysemy and homonymy.
