Item A comparison of the descriptions of characters: Doyle’s A Study in Scarlet and its Estonian translation(Tartu Ülikool, 2021) Sedrik, Erkki; Gielen, Katiliina, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Anglistika osakond; Tartu Ülikool. Maailma keelte ja kultuuride kolledžFrom the perspective of the target culture a translator’s work on a novel could be regarded as impactful and often as crucial as one of the the original author. As characters form a part of a story world, it is important for the translator to stay as close to the source text as possible when describing them, because otherwise the original mental image created in the readers’ mind could change completely. The aim of this Bachelor’s thesis is to analyze the two main characters Sherlock Holmes and John H. Watson in Arthur Conan Doyle’s A Study in Scarlet(1887) and its translation Etüüd Punases(2003) by Agu Tann in order to see whether the way the characters are portrayed will affect their character descriptions in translation. I will utilize Edward Morgan Forster’s concept of flat and round characters for categorizing and comparing the characters in the original and in the translation.Item A Low’s Pentathlon analysis of translations of Estonian songs in the Eurovision Song contest(Tartu Ülikool, 2021) Lai, Raimond; Gielen, Katiliina, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Anglistika osakond; Tartu Ülikool. Maailma keelte ja kultuuride kolledžThe translation of song lyrics is one of the more complex fields of translation. While translations of song lyrics are relatively rare compared to other types of translation, one of the common occurrences of them is in the Eurovision Song Contest. Using English translations provided by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), this study aims to identify issues and notable aspects of translating songs from Estonian to English. The translations are analysed using Low’s (2005) Pentathlon Principle and compared to the musical notation to reveal how the aspects of singability, sense, naturalness, rhythm and rhyme influence the performability of a translation. The EBU translations are then compared to sung translations to show how different approaches can produce considerably different results in terms of singability. The results of the analysis are used to exemplify how aspects like stress and rhythmic match have a considerable effect on the singability of a translation and how semantic flexibility can allow the translator to work within the limitations posed by the musical aspects of melody and rhythm.Item A Study On the Translation of Stream of Consciousness in Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf(Tartu Ülikool, 2024) Põldmaa, Kady; Gielen, Katiliina, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Maailma keelte ja kultuuride instituut; Tartu Ülikool. Anglistika osakondTranslation studies influence the promotion of intercultural dialogue between smaller languages and more widely spoken ones. This dialogue may aid in advocating towards cultural and linguistic diversity and preservation and possibly lead to a more connected world. The roughly 1.1 million native speakers make Estonian a small language, which might influence the availability of resources or hinder the filling of research gaps. This thesis studies the translation of the narrative method of stream of consciousness from English to Estonian. The source text is Mrs. Dalloway (1935) by Virginia Woolf and the target text Proua Dalloway (1998) by Riina Jesmin. This research inquires into the strategies the translation of Mrs. Dalloway uses to render stream of consciousness, as well as into the implications of linguistic and cultural differences between the source and target culture. The thesis consists of an introduction, which presents a short synopsis of the novel and what it is known for. The next chapter covers relevant literature about stream of consciousness, Mrs. Dalloway and translation theories. The empirical chapter studies the characteristics of the source text and analyses the target text on the backdrop of the literature review. The analysis will focus on the first and last two pages of the novel, featuring consecutive extracts from the source and the target text. The methods of close reading and structural analysis will be employed with some historical and cultural contextualization. Follows a discussion.Item An analysis of Hans Luik’s translation of Jonathan Harker’s journals in Bram Stoker’s Dracula(Tartu Ülikool, 2020) Luik, Maarja; Gielen, Katiliina, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Inglise filoloogia osakondA translator's work on a novel can be regarded as impactful and often times can be considered the item which could support the success of work. For that reason, translations should usually try to convey the meaning of the text, but also attempt to keep the original style and narrative tools in place. Attempting to keep those things intact could prove a challenge to translators for various reasons, and diverting from the original form can end the translation up with translational deforming tendencies, most famously listed by Antoine Berman. The aim of this Bachelor’s thesis is to analyze the deforming tendencies visible in the translation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, specifically focusing on the journal entries of Jonathan Harker.Item An analysis of Johannes Aavik‘s visibility in translating Edgar Allan Poe‘s The fall of the house of Usher(Tartu Ülikool, 2022) Kähr, Aigar; Gielen, Katiliina, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Inglise filoloogia osakond; Tartu Ülikool. Maailma keelte ja kultuuride kolledžItem Changes in narrative speed and rhythm in Tõnu Õnnepalu’s Piiririik and its translation Border state(Tartu Ülikool, 2022) Sokk, Helve; Gielen, Katiliina, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Inglise filoloogia osakond; Tartu Ülikool. Maailma keelte ja kultuuride kolledžItem Comparative analysis of the translation methods of slang words in hard-boiled crime fiction: James Hadley Chase's Mission to Siena and its two Estonian translations(Tartu Ülikool, 2020) Kloss, Helena; Gielen, Katiliina, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Inglise filoloogia osakondThis thesis focusses the detective fiction subcategory of hard-boiled crime fiction and its main characteristics specifically slang words and their translation strategies. The analysis is based on James Hadley Chase's Mission to Siena (1955) and its two different translations from English into Estonian, both published in 1991. The first part of the thesis consists of an overview of detective crime fiction and its subcategories with a focus on hard-boiled crime fiction and its characteristics. In the following slang is defined and the most used translation strategies for translating slang are described. The first part also contains a deliberation on the possible reasons for the phenomenon of two simultaneously published different translations. The second part of the thesis focusses on the comparative analysis of the translations of Mission to Siena by Votele Viidemann (Missioon Sienas) and Kaimo Vuks (Kilpkonna tuleb otsida Sienast). The translators' choices concerning translation methods used for slang words translation are compared and analysed.Item Comparative analysis of two translations of the poem 서시 (seoshi) by the Korean poet Yoon Dong Ju from Korean into English(Tartu Ülikool, 2019) Rips, Elisabeth; Gielen, Katiliina, juhendaja; Park, Jung Ran, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Inglise filoloogia osakondThe aim of this paper is to show that even if the translator understands two different languages, translating poetry is challenging, as there are many cases when, we have to omit or change words or phrases to keep the poetical or prosodic aspects. We can also see that in this case translators can understand that the denotative options do not carry the emotion of the words that are expressed. For this thesis I will study two translations into English of the poem 서시(seoshi) by a famous Korean poet Yoon Dong Ju (1910–1945) and analyse the differences between them. The translations under scrutiny are: Chae-Pyong Song and Darcy Brandel’s Prologue, Kyung-nyun Kim Richards and Steffen F. Richards Foreword.Item Empowerment and poetry: feminist Ideas in milk and honey by social media poet Rupi Kaur(Tartu Ülikool, 2021) Kalda, Gerda; Gielen, Katiliina, juhendaja; Steinberg, Külliki, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Anglistika osakond; Tartu Ülikool. Maailma keelte ja kultuuride kolledžThis thesis studies how Rupi Kaur (1992), an Indian-born Canadian social media poet who deals with hurt, healing, self-love, and empowerment, empowers women through feminist elements in her first poetry collection milk and honey (2014). Kaur has a large number of followers on social media, and an online community that offers a safe space for everyone. She is known for being an advocate of human rights and aims to empower marginalised groups, herself having a doubly marginalised identity, being both a woman and an immigrant.Item Good omens: translation across media in the context of transmedia(Tartu Ülikool, 2022) Edovald, Eda; Gielen, Katiliina, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Inglise filoloogia osakond; Tartu Ülikool. Maailma keelte ja kultuuride kolledžItem Helga Kross: foregrounding Estonian translators: "The fall of the house Usher" and "Usheri maja hukk"(Tartu Ülikool, 2018) Vessart, Ketlin; Gielen, Katiliina, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Inglise filoloogia osakondBakalaureusetöö eesmärk on uurida lähemalt eesti tõlkijat Helga Krossi, tema elulugu ning tõlkepoeetikat Edgar Allan Poe lühijutu “Usheri maja Hukk” põhjal. Lisaks võrdleb autor Helga Krossi ning Johannes Aaviku sama teose tõlkeid. Töö koosneb kahest osast: kirjanduse ülevaatest ning empiirilisest analüüsist. Esimene osa keskendub tõlkija rollile kultuuri edasikandjana ning nähtamatusele ühiskonnas. Teine osa sisaldab Helga Krossi tõlkepoeetika analüüsi ning tõlkevõrdlust Johannes Aavikuga. Bakalaureusetööst selgub, et Krossi eelistab oma tõlkepoeetikas jääda nähtamatuks ning püüdleb identsuse poole originaaltekstiga. Krossi ja Aaviku tõlkepoeetikad on küllaltki erinevad. Aavik suhtub tõlkesse vabamalt, mis on omane tema ajastule, ning kasutab Poe’le iseloomulikke aspekte enda keeleuuenduslikel eesmärkidel.Item Linguistic persuasion in the mediation of science on the example of Corona, false alarm?: facts and figures(Tartu Ülikool, 2022) Paas, Kertu; Gielen, Katiliina, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool.

Maailma keelte ja kultuuride instituutItem Oscar Wilde and the allusions to queerness in "The picture of Dorian Gray"(Tartu Ülikool, 2019) Poopuu, Amanda; Gielen, Katiliina, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Inglise filoloogia osakondOscar Wilde’s novel The Picture of Dorian Gray was first published in July 1890 simultaneously in Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine in Philadelphia, USA, and in UK. The novel deals with topics such as mortality of beauty and youth, corruption of the soul and art, and how art imitates life, but it also contains hints and allusions to same-sex love, more particularly male homosexuality which was a part of Wilde’s life that influenced his writing. The main focus of this thesis is on the queerness of the three main characters; which was considered immoral and corruptive during Wilde’s contemporary time.Item Representation of Estonia Defence Forces military exercise Siil 2018 in the English language written media(Tartu Ülikool, 2022) Puhm, Katriin; Gielen, Katiliina, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Inglise filoloogia osakond; Tartu Ülikool. Maailma keelte ja kultuuride kolledžItem Symbolism of the Colour Red in Toni Morrison’s Beloved(Tartu Ülikool, 2024) Kuusik, Emma; Gielen, Katiliina, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Maailma keelte ja kultuuride instituut; Tartu Ülikool. Anglistika osakondToni Morrison’s slave narrative Beloved (1987) can be called a stem text of American literature and has been studied extensively. Nevertheless, the gap in research concerning the translations of Beloved as well as the use of symbols such as colour in the novel is apparent. Thus, this thesis examines some of the meanings of red in Beloved and compares the original to the Estonian translation by Krista Kaer and Kalevi Kvell Armas (1997). The aim is to see whether the translators’ choices might influence the meaning of colour symbolics found in Beloved and this way have an impact on the readers’ perception of the importance of the red symbols . Previous papers analysing Beloved from various viewpoints are discussed in the first subsection of the literature review. As red is the colour of interest in this paper, works concerning both, the sources of red dye as well as potential meanings of the colour are examined in the second subsection. Methodology and analysis can be found in the second chapter. The phrases for empirical analysis were selected using close reading and the method applied in analysis was developed by Kress and Van Leeuwen (2002). The English phrases and their Estonian counterparts were first analysed separately and then compared to discuss the effect of potential changes on readers’ understanding of the symbols and occurring differences in the assigned value of the reds. The findings are highlighted in the conclusion of this thesis.Item The comparative analysis of food translation : Sylvia Plath's "The bell jar" and its Estonian translation "Klaaskuppel"(Tartu Ülikool, 2019) Sünd, Siiri; Gielen, Katiliina, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Inglise filoloogia osakondThe cultural aspect of translation often provides challenges for translators, as aspects of culture are an integral part of translation. The aim of this thesis is to concentrate on the conveying of culture specific phenomena, especially food and to provide a comparative analysis of Inna Feldbach' translation based on Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar. The thesis consists of two parts: literature overview and a comparative analysis. The first part is an overview of the translation of food as a part of culture specific context in the early years of the Republic of Estonia, with the main emphasis on translation theories by Peter Newmark, Anne Langeand Peeter Torop. The second part will focus on a comparative analysis of food terminology in Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar and its Estonian translation “Klaaskuppel” by Inna Feldbach.Item The translation of Tolkien's poetry : "Far over the Misty Mountain cold" and "Nüüd mingem siit, veel koidu eel"(Tartu Ülikool, 2019) Jõemaa, Evelin; Gielen, Katiliina, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Inglise filoloogia osakondThe aim of this thesis is to analyse the translation of John Ronald Reuel Tolkien’s poem ‘Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold’ from his book The Hobbit, or There and Back Again, which was published in 1937. The thesis will analyse the English version of the poem and compare it to its Estonian translation “Nüüd mingem siit, veel koidu eel” by Harald Rajamets, which was published in 1977 in Lia Rajandi’s translation of The Hobbit called “Kääbik, ehk, Sinna ja tagasi”. The first part of the thesis will give an overview of the role of poetry in Tolkien’s writing, discuss the key aspects of translating poetry and introduce Harald Rajamets as a translator. The empirical part consists of the analyses of ‘Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold’ and its Estonian translation “Nüüd mingem siit, veel koidu eel” concentrating on the comparison of the differences between the source text and the translation regarding the narrative structure, metre, rhyme, and repetitions. A summary of the analysis will be presented in the conclusion.Item Tolkien's The hobbit: the translation of poems from English to Estonian(Tartu Ülikool, 2023) Abroi, Anne-Mari; Gielen, Katiliina, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Inglise filoloogia osakond; Tartu Ülikool. Maailma keelte ja kultuuride instituutItem Translating Tammsaare: Pearu Murakas’ character speech in Vargamäe, volume I of Truth and Justice(Tartu Ülikool, 2020) Koitsaar, Kadri; Gielen, Katiliina, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Inglise filoloogia osakondCharacter speech is essential in representing the characters of a literary work and creating a plausible image of communication between said characters. For that reason, it is often characterized by features not inherent to written language, such as colloquial expressions, the use of slang or dialect or obscure sentence structures, creating a sense of orality. Attempting to replicate such effect in translation could prove to be a challenge due to specific cultural or semantic subtext and might result in the occurrence of a phenomenon called the deforming tendencies of translation. The aim of this bachelor’s thesis is to analyse the potential deforming tendencies present in the translation of the character speech of Pearu Murakas in Vargamäe, volume I of Truth and Justice by A.H. Tammsaare. The introduction provides an overview of the background of the novel, its author and translation, also including a brief overview of the methodology used and a description of the structure of the thesis. The first part of the thesis introduces the translators of the novel and their background. The second part of the thesis provides an overview of the literature regarding character speech and potential issues related to its translation. It also includes an overview of the primary theoretical source, the theory of deforming tendencies of translation by Antoine Berman. The third part focuses on the analysis of the character speech and its translation, having been divided into three subsections according to different points of focus.
