First of all, I would like to send my deep gratitude to Dr. Tran Thi Ngoc Lien- the Dean of Foreign Language Department at Hai Phong Management and Technology University, and also the supervisor of this graduation paper.
Her de- tailed comments and useful advice have helped me shape my ideas and realize my aims. She has also provided me with many useful materials as well as en- couraged and created favorable conditions for me to fulfill this research. There- fore, it is an undeniable fact that this paper would have not been completed without her invaluable support. Secondly, I warmly thank all my friends for their encouragement and pre- cious assistance throughout the process of writing the thesis.
Their material and spiritual support are the great driving-force for me. Finally, I am greatly indebted to my parents, who have encouraged and supported me throughout the process of completing this thesis. Hai Phong, June, 2020 Student Nguyen Thi Lan Anh 1 Luan van PART I: INTRODUCTION 1. Rationale Different countries have different business cultures and languages.
It is a good idea to make sure we understand the meaning of a written contract to min- imize the risk of misunderstanding. As a student who learnt business English at school, I realized that under- standing a business contract is quite important for us, especially for those who want to enter the import-export fields. Many people find the trade law complex and confusing. The contract will help the law more accessible and allow you navigate it correctly.
It is extremely common for businesses to fall foul of the law because they do not understand it, so a contract drafted by a specialist will ensure that you al- ways stay on the right side of the law. When you understand what is written in the contract, it will help you stay away from many risks and troubles. The language of a contract is somewhat different from the language in normal conversation. To understand it, we have to face with many specialized words.
As far as I am concerned, it is necessary for us to have a basic knowledge of business contract if you want to enter in the present international economic integration. Besides, this field is also my passion and my inspiration. It makes me feel highly enthusiastic. That is the reason why I chose this topic for my graduation.
Scope of the study It is true that the scope of business contract fields is quite large, with vari- ous features in content so it is really hard to deal with in a graduation thesis scope. In the limited time, I would like to focus on one kind of business contract: “joint venture agreement”. In the process of studying business English, I find it really difficult in understanding and translating meanings of terms in general. Because lots of terms are used with connected meanings, others are not the same as what have been known in common texts.
Thus, my study is towards to noun 2 Luan van phrases business contract. Hopefully, my research will partly help readers have a general overview on the language of business contract in general and “joint ven- ture agreement” in particular. Aims of the study The aim of my study is to identify methods to translate noun phrases in business contract from English into Vietnamese. To fulfill that aim, the objec- tives of this study paper will be as follows: finding different characteristics of noun phrases in English joint venture agreement, identifying the appropriate translation methods to be applied in the translation of noun phrases in joint ven- ture agreement from English into Vietnamese.
Methods of the study At the first time I began to study English, I found that English is the most common used language in society. I have been trying my best to study for fur- ther fields of English. Thanks to the knowledge and experiences which I gain form my teachers as well as reference books, I had read in the process of learn- ing English and completed my graduation books. In this study paper, I will focus on two methods.
The first method will be qualitative analysis. This method will help to explain for translation strategies. The second one is quantitative analysis which will help to know how often a noun phrase appears in a contract. Design of the study The study is divided into 3 parts in which the third part is the most im- portant.
The first part: INTRODUCTION: writes about rationale, scope, aims, methods, and design of the study. The second part: DEVELOPMENT consists of two small parts which is related to the theoretical background of translation and an investigation into the translation of noun phrases in business contract from English into Vietnamese which also is the most important part. The last 3 Luan van part CONCLUSION, summarizes the study mentioned above and gives some suggestion for further studies. PART II: DEVELOPMENT CHAPTER I: THEORETICAL BACKGROUND 1.
An overview of translation 1. Definition of translation Translation typically has been used to transfer from written or spoken SL (source language) texts to equivalent written or spoken TL (target language) texts. In general, the purpose of translation is to reproduce various kinds of texts including religious, literary, scientific, and philosophical texts in another lan- guage and thus making them available to wider readers. If language was just a classification for a set of general or universal con- cepts, it would be easy to translate from SL to TL.
Furthermore, under the cir- cumstances the process of learning a language would be easier than it is actually. In this regard, Culler (1976) believes that languages are not nomenclatures and the concepts of one language may differ radically from those of another, since each language articulates or organizes the world differently, and language do not simply name categories; they articulate their own. The conclusion likely to be drawn from what Culler wrote is that one of the troublesome problems of trans- lation is the disparity among languages. The bigger the gap between ST and TL, the more difficult the transfer of message from the former to the later will be.
Therefore, there are various concepts of translation basing on the individual views. And I have collected some of them: Translation is the communication of the meaning of a source-language text by means of an equivalent target- language text. [1] The English language draws a terminological distinction (not all languages do) between translating (a written text) and interpreting (oral or sign-language communication between users of different languages); under this distinction, translation can begin only after the appearance of writing within a language community. (Wikipedia), Translation is the expression in another language (or target language) of what has been expressed in another source lan- 4 Luan van guage, preserving semantic and stylistic equivalences.
