Over the last four decades, translation studies have shown dramatic progress in terms of the numbers of institutions offering it as well as the amount of research. However, many areas are still to be explored. The assessment of translations is one of them, even though researchers have devoted their efforts to the issue and developed useful instruments. Especially in Korea, where the history of translation studies is relatively short, compared to European countries, the assessment has mostly been dependent on subjectve judgment of professionals. The practice might be acceptable in deciding whether a translation is 'good' or not. However, there is a need to set up objective guidelines for assessment to fulfill educational purposes - not just to give scores but also for the purpose of learning and teaching translation. To address this need, this research project was designed to develop an error typology to assess translations from English into Korean and verify the typology's effectiveness. The main purpose of this typology is to explain problems that students might face in performing translation. To do this, an error typology focusing on language competence, especially on grammatical competence, has been developed based on previous research done on translation and Korean grammar. One hundred and fifty-three translations from four translation classes in Australia and Korea were collected to verify the effectiveness of the typology. The results have demonstrated the error typology to be useful to point out the problematic areas in translations produced by students which stemmed from insufficient competence in both working languages. In case of Korean, which was the mother tongue of student participants, the data revealed that they would benefit from further instruction in Korean grammar to prevent errors resulting from the lack of knowledge of Korean grammar as well as from the differences between Korean and English. The results and the in-depth discussion presented in this thesis might help students and teachers learn more about translation. In addition, they would be a good starting point to resolve more issues and problems in the area.

This volume critically examines the phenomenon of “English fever” in South Korea from both micro- and macro-perspectives. Drawing on original research and rich illustrative examples, the book investigates two key questions: why is English so popular in Korea, and why is there such a gap between the ‘dreams’ and ‘realities’ associated with English in Korea? These questions are explored through the eyes of English-Korean translators and interpreters, who represent the professional group most intensely engaged in the zeal for English language mastery. Macro-perspectives focus on historical factors leading to the rise of English, with English-Korean translation and interpreting as a key theme. Micro-perspectives explore the dreams that individuals attach to English and the ways in which they imagine it can transform their lives, and contrast these dreams with the stark realities felt on the ground. The gaps between these dreams and realities are explored from various angles, which include commodification, gender and neoliberalism. The book thus offers fresh insights on how the phenomenon of “English fever” has been created, reproduced, and sustained from both historical and contemporary viewpoints. From the reviews: This is an important study of how English is experienced in one country, Korea. A very insightful analysis of the interlocking of historical factors influencing the status of English, and the interlocking significance of class, gender, aesthetics, myth-making, and the role of the media and competitive commodification. The study is based on competent use of relevant theoretical approaches, solid fieldwork, and a personal capacity to draw complex threads together. It demonstrates how language policy can be analysed in a stimulating way that has major importance beyond the borders of Korea. Language ideologies are brought to life effectively.

Professor Riccardo Moratto and Professor Hyang-Ok Lim bring together the most authoritative voices on Korean interpreting. The first graduate school of interpretation and translation was established in 1979 in South Korea. Since then, not only has the interpretation and translation market grown exponentially, but so too has research in translation studies. Though the major portion of research focuses on translation, interpretation has not only managed to hold its own, but interpretation studies in Korea have been a pioneer in this field in Asia. This handbook highlights the main interpretation research trends in South Korea today, including case studies of remote interpreting during the Covid-19 pandemic, Korean interpreting for conferences, events, and diplomacy, and research into educating interpreters effectively. An essential resource for researchers in Korean interpreting, this handbook will also be very valuable to those working with other East Asian languages.

Zulawnik focuses on the broad concept of ‘controversy’ and issues pertaining to the translation of politically and historically controversial texts in East Asia. The research methodology is exemplified through a case study in the form of the author’s translation of the best-selling Japanese graphic novel (manga) Manga Kenkanryū (Hate Hallyu: The Comic) by Sharin Yamano (2005), a work that has been problematised as an attack on South Korean culture and the Korean Wave. Issues analysed and discussed in the research include translation risk, ethics, a detailed methodology for the translation of so-called controversial texts exemplified through numerous thematically divided examples from the translation of the chosen Japanese text, as well as examples from a Korean language equivalent (Manhwa Hyeomillyu – Hate Japanese Wave), and definition and contextualisation of the concept of ‘controversy’. There has been limited research in the field of translation studies, which seeks to exemplify potential pragmatic approaches for the translation of politically-charged texts, particularly in multi-modal texts such as the graphic novel. It is hoped that Zulawnik’s research will serve both as a valuable source when examining South Korea–Japan relations and a theoretical and methodological base for further research and the development of an online augmented translation space with devices specifically suited for the translation of multi-modal texts such as – but not limited to – graphic novels and visual encyclopaedias.

Frontiers of Translation in Korean Language Education makes the case for the continuing relevance of translation in Korean as Foreign Language (KFL) education. This book presents practical case-studies of developing and implementing translation in KFL on scales ranging from extended programs, e.g., the integration of a translation and interpreting internship program which responds to local community needs into the Higher Education curriculum, to single activities, e.g., comparing English to Korean literary translations of the same source text to improve linguistic and cultural awareness. More theoretically oriented works on the relationship translation in KFL has with fast-developing translation technology, the language of South Korean mass-media, and the social processes of globalisation are included alongside the practical contributions. The substantive contributions are bookended by an introduction and conclusion which provide overviews of the history and current disposition of translation in KFL and a prospectus for its future, respectively. Drawing on the work of researchers and practitioners based in Higher Education institutions across North America, Europe, and South Korea, both the practical and theoretical strands included in this collection come together to provide a well-rounded account of the most recent developments in Korean-language pedagogy, which will appeal to language teachers, particularly Korean language teachers, and the institutions that employ and train them.

The focus of this volume is on how the people of the Korean Peninsula—historically an important part of the Sinocentric world in East Asia and today a vital economic and strategic site—have negotiated oral and written interactions with their Asian neighbors and Europeans in the past and present through the mediation of translators and interpreters. These encounters have been shaped by political, social, and cultural factors, including the shared use of the Chinese writing system in East Asia for many centuries, attitudes toward other Asians and Westerners, and perceptions of Korean identity in relation to these Others. After exploring aspects of historical interactions, the volume addresses how the role and practice of translation and interpreting have recently evolved as a result of the development of digital technology, an increase in the number of immigrants, and changes in political and cultural dynamics in the region. It covers a range of historical and contemporary aspects, genres, and venues that extend beyond the common yet restrictive focus on literary translation and includes discussions of translator training and academic studies of translation and interpreting in Korea.

This book studies the three concepts of translation, education and innovation from a Nordic and international perspective on Japanese and Korean societies. It presents findings from pioneering research into cultural translation, Japanese and Korean linguistics, urban development, traditional arts, and related fields. Across recent decades, Northern European scholars have shown increasing interest in East Asia. Even though they are situated on opposite sides of the Eurasia landmass, the Nordic nations have a great deal in common with Japan and Korea, including vibrant cultural traditions, strong educational systems, and productive social democratic economies. Taking a cross-cultural and interdisciplinary approach, and in addition to the examination of the three key concepts, the book explores several additional intersecting themes, including sustainability, nature, humour, aesthetics, cultural survival and social change, discourse and representation. This book offers a collection of original interdisciplinary research from the 25th anniversary conference of the Nordic Association for Japanese and Korean Studies (2013). Its 21 chapters are divided into five parts according to interdisciplinary themes: Translational Issues in Literature, Analyses of Korean and Japanese Languages, Language Education, Innovation and New Perspectives on Culture, and The Arts in Innovative Societies.

This volume presents innovative research on the interface between pragmatics and translation. Taking a broad understanding of translation, papers are presented in four different parts. Part I focuses on interpreting; Part II centers on the translation of fictional and non-fictional texts and spaces; Part III discusses audiovisual translation; and Part IV explores translation in a wider context that includes transforming senses and action into language. The issues that transpire as worth exploring in these areas are mediality and multi-modality, interpersonal pragmatics, close and approximate renditions, interpretese and translationese, participation structures and the negotiation of discourses and power.
