Translation is a complex activity which does not involve merely the translation of the given text from the source language to the target one, but also means observing many other aspects which need to be preserved in translation. What is more, every type of text has different requirements, depending on stylistic norms, cultural aspects etc. This paper focuses on popular science literature for children. In this area, the precision of the translation is not the sole criterion, but also the degree of equivalence in the comprehension of the source and target language texts plays a substantial role. Taking the example of a popular science book entitled "Tiere im Hohen Norden" by Hensel and Thiemeyer (1994) and its translation into Czech entitled "Severská zvířata", based on Göpferich's dimensions of comprehension, it is examined how the comprehension is preserved in the process of translation. Furthermore, it explores how and where modifications occur and their impact on the resulting translation.
The paper will focus on the analysis of selected linguistic markers of argumentation structures in Czech and German. On the basis of corpus‑based analysis, I work with the assumption that argumentation structures are one of the parameters of equivalence in translation. The theoretical starting point for this analysis is the hypothesis that the linguistic form of arguments has a significant impact on their identification and potential. In my paper, I will pursue the following specific questions: 1) What are the linguistic markers of argument strength / weakness in German and in Czech? 2) How do the mutual relationships between structure and linguistic outcome change as a result of the translation? 3) Might the effects resulting from the translation of the argumentation structures be interpreted as processes of explicitation and implicitation? 4) What are the advantages and disadvantages of working with a parallel corpus as a basis for the analysis of the translation of local argumentative structures? Since the structures of argumentation are one of the elementary fundamentals of a text, issues connected to their translation represent one of the central research interests in Translation Studies.
The following paper deals with the phenomenon of religious terminology in fiction. Katharina Beta’s novel Katharsis was analyzed with regard to the translation of the relevant lexical material into Czech language. The theoretical basis for the analysis was provided by works of both Czech and foreign linguists and translatologists.
Aus einem ultranationalistischen Blickwinkel skizzierte Kuffner auf 32 Seiten und fünf beigefügten Karten die aus seiner Sicht notwendige territoriale Neuordnung Europas, die sowohl die allslawische Frage "od Šumavy až po Bajkal či Tichý Oceán" [vom Böhmerwald bis zum Baikalsee bzw. Pazifik] lösen als auch einen dauerhaften Frieden garantieren sollte. Die Hauptrolle dabei hatte er einem neu zu formierenden Staat zugedacht, dem er zwar den Namen "Čechy" (Böhmen) gab, der jedoch nicht nur die historischen Grenzen des Königreichs, sondern auch diejenigen der 1918 gegründeten ČSR deutlich überschritt. [...] Mit dieser überzogenen Denkschrift sollte Kuffer (unbeabsichtigt) einer antitschechischen Propaganda dies- und jenseits der 1919 sanktionierten Grenzen für 20 Jahre Dauermunition liefern: Binnen weniger Jahre avancierte sie zum meistzitierten tschechischen Werk im völkisch-deutschnationalen Schrifttum der 1920er und 1930er Jahre. Man glaubte in Kuffners Schrift "das heimliche Grundkonzept des tschechischen Imperialismus" aufgedeckt zu haben.
