1.1 Formal Equivalence in Poetry Translation
Formal equivalence in poetry translation preservs formal and structural aspects of the poem. This involves preserving features such as rhyme scheme, meter, rhythm, and line length in order to reproduce the artistic and aesthetic qualities of the original work. The emphasis is on copying the form of the source text, even if this entails some departure from the literal translation of words. The aim is to convey not only the semantic meaning, but also the poetic style and structure inherent in the original poem.
A rhyme is a repetition of similar sounds (usually the exact same phonemes) in the final stressed syllables and any following syllables of two or more words. Most often, this kind of perfect rhyming is consciously used for a musical or aesthetic effect in the final position of lines within poems or songs. More broadly, a rhyme may also variously refer to other types of similar sounds near the ends of two or more words.
Rhythm can be described as the beat and pace of a poem. The rhythmic beat is created by the pattern of stressed and unstressed. syllables in a line or verse. In modern poetry, line breaks, repetition and even spaces for silence can help to create rhythm.
Metre is the basic rhythmic structure of a verse or lines in verse. Many traditional verse forms prescribe a specific verse metre, or a certain set of metres alternating in a particular order. The study and the actual use of metres and forms of versification are both known as prosody. Within linguistics, "prosody" is used in a more general sense that includes not only poetic metre but also the rhythmic aspects of prose, whether formal or informal, that vary from language to language, and sometimes between poetic traditions.
A line is a unit of language into which a poem or play is divided. The use of a line operates on principles which are distinct from and not necessarily coincident with grammatical structures, such as the sentence or single clauses in sentences.
Five Tips on Translating Poetry
by Jennifer Liddy, 2002
🖋️Read the abstracts and compare the Kazakh and Russian translations with the original taking into account what we have discussed today:
Lawrence Venuti's concept:
Lawrence Venuti introduced the concept of "foreignizing" and "domestication" strategies of translation. Foreignizing translation seeks to preserve the foreignness of the original, while domestication makes the translation conform to the target culture.
Power dynamics in translation:
Venuti emphasized the dynamics of power in translation, highlighting the impact on cultural perception and the importance of preserving the "otherness" of the source text.
