Understanding and Translating Hybrid Texts
This book outlines a new approach for considering the complex issue of hybridity and its translation. By building on the concept of translation as a three-phase process (reception, transfer and (re)production), it establishes the (contextual) function of hybrid elements in a text as the basis for translation or translation comparison based on a (focused) translation purpose. The model and methodology developed in the book provide the reader with operationalised tools for contextually abstracting the function of hybrid elements (Understanding Dimension) and using it as the basis for their transfer in another language (Translation Dimension).
Literarischer Kulturtransfer
Wer als Europäer einen frankophonen Roman eines afrikanischen Schriftstellers liest, trifft auf eine ihm fremde erzählte Welt mit ihm fremden Begriffen aus den afrikanischen Kulturen. Hierzu analysiert und vergleicht die Autorin ein umfangreiches Bündel linguistischer, translationswissenschaftlicher, literarisch-poetischer und kulturspezifischer sowie interkultureller Fragestellungen zu den Afrikanismen in französischen Romanen der Moderne. Sie dienen als poetisch-rhetorisch verfeinerte Mittel, dem fremdkulturellen Leser die eigenen kulturellen Anliegen zu vermitteln, ohne die afrikanische Identität zu verleugnen. Zudem bietet der Band mit einer vergleichsfreundlichen Strukturierung differenzierte literarisch-sprachlich-kulturelle Informationen zu SchriftstellerInnen und ihren Werken aus 17 schwarzafrikanischen Staaten. Ein attraktives Glossar von literarischen Afrikanismen und ihren deutschen Äquivalenten rundet den Band ab.
Language Teaching and Language Use in Non-Native Settings
From Cameroon to Turkey through Jordan, this short volume illuminates the discrepancy between stated language teaching norms and real-life language use in non-native settings. It underscores the limitations of teaching materials, styles, and methods with regard to learners’ communication needs, and provides well-matched answers to foreign language classroom problems. This book will be of interest to language teachers and researchers who will gain an insight into the challenges of the foreign language class in different non-native milieus, and therefore enrich their teaching competence. Educational policy makers can also use it as a guide for designing contextually appropriate curricula and materials.
Structural and Sociolinguistic Perspectives on Indigenisation
Descriptions of new varieties of European languages in postcolonial contexts have focused exceedingly on system-based indigenisation and variation. This volume–while further illustrating processes and instantiations of indigenisation at this level–incorporates investigations of sociolinguistic and pragmatic phenomena in daily social interaction–e.g. politeness, respect, compliment response, naming and address forms, and gender–through innovative analytic frameworks that view indigenisation from emic perspectives. Focusing on postcolonial Cameroon and using natural and questionnaire data, the book assesses the salience of linguistic and sociocultural hybridisation triggered by colonialism and, recently, globalisation in interaction in and across languages and cultures. The authors illustrate how the multilingual nature of the society and individuals’ multilingual repertoires shape patterns in the indigenisation and evolution of the ex-colonial languages, English and French, and Pidgin English.
Le dialogue interculturel dans les romans et films camerounais à l'époque coloniale et postcoloniale
Cette étude passe en revue les dialogues interculturels entre Occidentaux et Africains et entre Africains appartenant à des cultures ou groupes ethniques différents, tels qu’ils sont représentés dans les romans et films camerounais de la période coloniale et postcoloniale. Le travail est abordé sous l’angle de la communication interculturelle et du transfert culturel. L’accent est mis sur la thématique de la traduction et le déroulement en langues africaines de ces dialogues, les réalités multilingues, la réécriture des genres traditionnels et le rapport entre dialogue filmique et romanesque.

The objects of study cover a variety of modes and media from different national contexts reaching from print folders over online written texts to YouTube videos and movies.

Gender-Based Differences in Exposure to and Usage of Camfranglais in Yaoundé
This highly engaging and innovative book about the Cameroonian youth language Camfranglais explores gender-based differences in exposure to, and usage of, the variety through a comparative study. It thus adopts a rare gender-based approach to the highly complex linguistic phenomenon Camfranglais, a mix of French, Verlan, English, Pidgin and Cameroonian languages. While youth language studies flourish in sociolinguistic research, this book’s explicit focus on female speakers, their linguistic attitudes and experiences of exclusion, is unique. It investigates which factors influence language choice among young, urban speakers and especially what contributes to the overall male dominance in t...
