Japanese-Thai Translation Strategies for Connecting Clauses
Keywords:
Japanese-Thai translation, clauses, linkersAbstract
This paper investigates Japanese-Thai translation strategies for connecting clauses, using data from Japanese novels and their Thai translations. Considering sentence structure in source and target texts, translation strategies may be summarized as follows. 1) Using identical sentence structure as the source text, that is, “connecting clause + main clause” (or the reverse) may be divided into two subtypes: a) the case in which no clause linkers are used as the connecting clause meaning is clear enough for comprehension; this subtype is often found in coordinate, temporal sequence, and causal clauses; and b) using clause linkers, for which there is a tendency to use according to semantic types of clauses (for example, temporal sequence clauses tend to use linkers showing temporal sequence). Notably, different linkers are widely used, and careful consideration should be given when using some linkers (such as the linker of cause “เพราะ” (prɔ́), which does not usually occur at the beginning of sentences). 2) Using one simple sentence in which serial verb constructions, serial verbs with linkers, word adjustments, and sentence structure adjustments are found.
