Surveying Sociolinguistic Competence in Translators in Training: A
Study into the Development of Receptive and Productive
Sensitivity to Linguistic Formality
Examen: Abstract niet zelf kunnen schrijven. Er zijn geen open vragen over abstracts, enkel
gesloten vragen. Er wordt geen abstract gegeven om de kwaliteit ervan te bespreken. Je moet wel
bv. kwaliteitskenmerken kennen en deze dan in functie v/h abstract bespreken.
This is a very broad area. Therefore, they focus on sensitivity to acquirement of
a foreign language. To be very concrete: on FML INF language.
Vraag bij abstract
8) Er is wel ontwikkeling, maar die is niet altijd stabiel/constant. De ontwikkeling
hier is eigenlijk appelen met peren vergelijken omdat het een test was van één
jaar, en niet dezelfde mensen. Meestal volg je dezelfde persoon over meerdere
jaren, en hier is het maar één jaar. Er is dus geen echte development besproken.
Het woord development paste gewoon goed in de titel.
Style
Crystal (2004)
- Occasion: move from one social occasion to another
- Linguistic choice we command: having a choice and being able to make a
choice
- Act appropriately: formal context
Pinker (2014)
- Commands a range of styles that are appropriate to different times & places
Language formality & style-shifting
- It has been looked at in applied linguistics, theoretical approaches of
linguistics and TS
- Formality is a useful scale/continuum that represents important social
dimensions of language variation: sociolinguistic style/register & style-
shifting (you move along this line, sometimes you move to one end, sometimes to the other)
Appropriateness of form-meaning-use mappings
We are looking at use/appropriateness, e.g. applied to grammar/vocabulary
Approaches to style-shifting: Sociolinguistic models
