INTRODUCTION TO RESEARCH TOPIC 1. Nowadays, with the trend of globalization leading to more frequent cross-cultural communication, translation activities have played an important role in conveying messages from one language to another, from one country to another. from one country to another. Class words are an important and indispensable part in any language, even in Vietnamese, the classification of words has also been carried out for the purpose of understanding the nature and operating rules of words, helping to language acquisition, perception, and communication.
When studying type words, nouns, verbs, and adjectives are often paid more attention because these three words play a special and important role in a sentence. They are the core words of the sentence, which have the role of conveying the main content of a sentence, a statement, or a text. As a student majoring in Foreign Languages, I have commented that students of Hai Phong University of Management and Technology in particular as well as English learners in general often make mistakes in the translation of nouns from words. English into Vietnamese because they do not understand the exact meaning of nouns when put in different contexts, but often translate mechanically based on the simple meaning of the word face.
Because of that, English learners often misunderstand the meaning of the noun that the subject wants to express, thereby leading to mistakes in communication and translation. From the above comments, we find it very necessary to go into depth, learn, compare and contrast nouns between the two languages English and Vietnamese. So I choose the topic: A study on English to Vietnamese translation of noun phrases in J.K Rowling’s Harry Potter. Purpose of study.
The study was carried out for the purpose of comparing English nouns and equivalent elements in Vietnamese. Comparing the translation of nouns in English and Vietnamese texts contributes to the common study of both languages on two aspects: teaching and translation. For research purposes, the English literary text Harry Potter (2007) (hereinafter referred to as HP) is selected. This text was written by the famous British writer J.
"HP" has become a literary phenomenon since its first publication in 1997, which contains many nouns with unique meanings, suitable for research purposes. The research focuses on the original English and Vietnamese translations of the Harry Potter works, drawing on theories and scholarly references related to English nouns and translation theory. The study compares English and Vietnamese nouns, focuses on proper nouns, analyzes translation methods used in Harry Potter works and unique features of translators' translations. To carry out this study, I have conducted the following research methods: The method of comparison and contrast will be used mainly in the entire thesis, playing a leading and permanent role because the purpose of the topic is to compare the translation in two types of documents in English and Vietnamese.
To analyze and evaluate the translation, I will conduct a survey and comparison on the English-Vietnamese bilingual corpus of the currently quite famous work: "Harry Potter" by writer J. This work consists of 6 volumes published by Bloomsbury (2007). A total of 6 volumes of this book has 4123 pages, with more than 1,100,000 Vietnamese words. I chose this work for the survey because 2 the original English and Vietnamese translations are written by writers that are widely read, have popular style, and reflect the state of contemporary language.
In addition, the number of pages of the book and the number of words in the original English and Vietnamese translations is quite large (more than 4000 pages with more than 1,000,000 words), which has the effect of creating persuasiveness for our arguments. Scientific and practical significance of the thesis: The study of nouns in English documents compared with Vietnamese texts has the following values and practical theories: Knowledge of the similarities and differences between English nouns and their equivalent elements in Vietnamese helps to improve the efficiency of translation work, helping translators choose the most effective way to choosing words and conveying the message. Through this research topic, adding theories and references on translation for English-Vietnamese translation, all subjects learning English and translating English and Vietnamese can be referenced to be more effective in study and work, especially students of English Language major in particular, Faculty of Foreign Languages in general. Studying on nouns provides knowledge related to applied grammar in the exercise and develops the four skills of Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing in English.
The study of how to translate nouns from English to Vietnamese contributes to determining appropriate translation methods, improving the efficiency of English-Vietnamese translation. Overview of English nouns. Noun is a word used to name a type of thing, that thing can be a person, animal, thing, phenomenon, place or concept. Nouns are considered one of the most important words in the English language.
- Nouns for people in English: he (anh ấy), doctor (bác sỹ), the men (đàn ông), … - Nouns for animals: dog (chó), cat (mèo), pet (thú cưng), … - Nouns for objects in English: money (tiền), table (cái bàn), computer (máy tính), … - Nouns for phenomena: storm (cơn bão), earthquake (động đất), … - Nouns indicating places: school (trường học), office (văn phòng), … - Nouns for concepts: culture (văn hoá), presentation (thuyết trình), experience (kinh nghiệm),. Noun is the subject of the sentence. When being the subject, the noun usually comes at the beginning of the sentence and before the verb in the sentence. Ex: English is my favorite subject.
"English" is the noun and the subject. Nouns are indirect/direct objects of verbs. When acting as the object of a verb, the noun comes after the verb. 4 - When a noun is a direct object.
Ex: I want to buy a birthday cake. "A birthday cake" is a noun and an object of the verb "buy". - When a noun is an indirect object. Ex: He gave his girlfriend a ring.
=> "His girlfriend" is a noun and is the object of the verb "give". Noun is the object of the preposition.
