통변역을 위한 영한대조분석 = Contrastive Analysis of English and Korean for Interpretation and Translation

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The quality of interpretation and translation is judged by the output. Audience are exposed only to the output of the performance. As such, we find that making the output readable and/or understandable is as important as, if not more, other related parts of training.
This paper focuses on the contrastive linguistic features between English and Korean. 10 recommendations were made for producing output in natural Korean. The first five are about the choice of word-endings. They virtually say that we must try to avoid the use of pronouns, possessive endings, plural endings, progressive forms and non-animate subject in writing in Korean. The next two, avoiding heavy NP and verbatim translation of English phrasal verbs are also for the naturalness of Korean output. In writing in Korean, these two phrasal characteristics of English should not be transferred into Korean. There are yet other elements that Korean translator of English material should pay attention to, such as the use of passive construction, the choice of subjects and its agreements and finally the difference of Korean and English in using metaphoric expressions.
These ten elements of conspicuous difference between Korean and English, when violated, will make the output Korean hard to read (listen) or difficulty to understand. These elements when found multiply in one sentence will render Korean output very complex and unnatural. Trainers in translation and interpretation should bear in mind the recommendations made in this paper for more efficacy and eficacy in working as communication moderators.
