Another type of translation technique used in Shrek series by Wierzbięta is allusion, a reference to a particular event, person, thing, piece of literature or art. For instance, the authors of Shrek made allusions to a number of fairy tales, like Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty, that Polish audience is also familiar with and for that reason they will be able to understand them and fully appreciate their entertaining function. The allusion to the popular film productions, like Mission Impossible or Baywatch are also noticeable in the whole series. The majority of such allusions in Shrek is rooted in the visual rather than aural aspect of the film and in consequence, is not of translator’s concern. However, when it comes to the verbal

According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, about two to three children out of every 1,000 are born with a detectable level of hearing impairment in the United States. Without hearing, children miss out on the acoustic correlates of the physical world, such as car horns and footsteps. Children are also limited in their exposure to patterned complexities in music and spoken word. These hard of hearing and deaf students grow and develop in unique ways compared to their hearing peers because of the stimulus they do not have. Researchers have focused on how communication methods for hard of hearing and deaf children affect their development in the physical, social-emotional, cognitive and communicative

Translators across the world will face problems through out their translation. One of these problems is allusion. An author referring to a person, or a place, or an event, in his\her book won't make a problem for readers from the same culture to figure it out, but it may cause a cross culture for readers from other culture.

Free translation: The attempt to translate the ideas from one language to another with less concern about using the exact words of the original. (paraphrasing)

Though with the clever choice of incorporating the language Greek in the transliteration of the book, inadvertently utilizing diction as well,

An example of phonological awareness is a child being able to recognize that “sat” and “hat” rhyme. When a child is asked what rhymes with “sat” they should be able to produce a word such as “cat”.

Tan’s purpose of her text is to let people know that there are different kinds of English and there is no right type of English. For example, she uses the word “simple English” to describe the kind of English she uses to spoke to her mother. “Broken English” for the type of English her mother uses whenever she spoke to her. “Watered down English” to describe her translation of her mother’s Chinese. According to Tan, due to these different kinds of English, there are people who are very narrow-minded who cannot understand that there is no right type of English. These narrow-minded people fail to understand that everybody has different culture and language background. In fact, she uses her experience and her mother’s personal experience

In this week’s Ted Talk, Patricia Kuhl helped us understand the importance of early development in language. She explained that babies are like little geniuses when it comes to acquiring language. However, there is a critical period for learning it since after the age of seven, the same ability starts to decline. To investigate more about how sounds are learned, Kuhl and colleagues use a technique in which a baby is trained to turn their heads after hearing different sounds, showing that they can discriminate any sound even from different languages.

Both the auditory and visual elements were united to generate 20 second trials. The infants in the room were held in their parents’ laps. The parents were given headphones so they wouldn’t distract or contribute to the infants’ responses. The researchers needed words that could be easily expressed as sounds rather than an actual word because of the early ages of the infants. The auditory elements were expressed in 3 verbal, gibberish words which were “lif”, “neem”, “pok”, which were also all recorded by a primary speaking English female speaker. Each audio element, or “word”, was recorded in 7 different ways. The visual elements were copied from past experiments which consisted of three multicolored objects shifting across a black backdrop to attract the infants to the images and sounds presented. In these trials the audio and visual elements were not played cohesively, as the visual elements were displayed in a pattern, while the audio elements were heard 2 seconds apart from the other audio

For a long time in the 20th century, translation studies followed the linguistic tradition in assuming the notion of equivalence. Translation studies in the linguistic tradition have relied on the notion equivalence. Nowadays equivalence between words in a source text and a target language is also important but other requirements also need to be met. It is specifically apparent in translating scientific texts. One of the other criteria for translation is incorporation of the main ideas and broader meaning of the whole texts. The source text needs to be recognised and understood as a whole, not as sequence of sentences and paragraphs. It should concern the cultural

In America, English exists as the standard language. For that reason, it is understood that children will learn this as their primary language. However, according to the “National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders” website, “about two to three children per 1,000 are born deaf or hard of hearing”(Quick Statistics [NIDCD Health Information]) . Moreover, an article by Karen Kalivoda points out that “depending on the age of onset and the severity of the hearing loss, an individual's spoken language development may be radically affected”. Babies learn to speak by parroting the sounds around them; however, a deaf child does not hear these noises and, therefore, the child does not “develop their language” skills

However, Pinker (1994) then goes onto note that the particular sub-stage of reduplicated babbling occurs around 7-8 months, and states that the children will exercise phonemes and syllable patterns that are not specific to a singular language, but rather are seen as common across a variety of languages. Yet, Pinker (1994) does also argue that the children are able to distinguish between phonemes of their own mother tongue, which has been seen from birth, and this is seen to be more prominent by the time the child reaches the age of around 10 months. Pinker (1994) refers to this as the children no longer being ‘universal phoneticians’, and states that the children will no longer distinguish foreign phonemes.

There are two critical elements you must know when translation a document and they cannot be stated too many times:
