ABSTRACT

A STRUCTURED abstract should have around 150-250 words and it should contain the following sections (choose regarding the nature of the article):

◦         Aim/Thesis

◦         Concept/Methods

◦         Results and conclusion

◦         Research restrictions (optional)

◦         Practical application (optional)

◦         Originality/Cognitive value

Please find an example below:

Aim. The aim of the research is to confirm whether the English-Polish literary translations present the tendencies characteristic of the postcolonial translation. These tendencies are understood as an emphasis on the source culture at the cost of the target culture (i.e. so-called foreignisation).

Methods. The subject of the study were 886 cultural elements retrieved from ten top-selling dramas translated after the year 2000. They are analysed with the application of Toury’s DTS method (1995, Descriptive Translation Studies) and the results are classified according to the list of translational techniques proposed by Hejwowski (2004) and Newmark (1988). The techniques are divided into three categories: foreignising, domesticating, and sitting-on-the-fence.

Results. The analysis shows that there are more domesticating techniques (441 cases) than foreignising ones (345 cases). The most popular foreignising technique is transfer without explanation, whereas the most popular domesticating technique is recognised equivalent. It appears that certain types of cultural elements (e.g. names of the streets, brands, names) are strictly tied to relevant translational practices, whereas in some the translation relies solely on the translator’s preferences.

Conclusions. Even though the study considers the aspects of translation which are in the focus of the postcolonial researchers and it is not the first of its kind, it seems to be inadequate and it does not provide the answer to the research questions. The definition of the cultural elements in translation restricts the study to solely culturally-coloured words and the prevalence of domesticating techniques can be interpreted twofold.

Key words: University of the Third Age, social exclusion, marginalization, seniors

Statistical data Editing. Basic principles

  1. Authors are requested wherever possible, to provide basic descriptive statistics for analysed variables in one or more summary tables and report those in an Appendix; Basic descriptive statistics encompass such information as number of cases (N), central tendency measures (mean, median, mode), variance measures (standard deviation), normality of distribution scores (skewness and kurtosis or K-S or S-W normality tests). Authors should try to include in one table as much data as possible. Absence of such summary tables will not be accepted
  2. Authors should provide, wherever possible, in text Figures (coloured or black&white 2D png images) representing results of the statistical analysis (such as bar-plots, scatter plots, box-plots, structural equations trees etc.). Also authors should provide detailed model summaries (model fit, coefficients, statistical significance, odds ratio, marginal means etc.) in tables reported also in the Appendix and which should be directly related to the figures included in the the paper.
  3. Authors should not repeat information which is already included in the Tables and Figures directly in the text of the paper. Text in the paper should include the most relevant findings and interpretation of the scores, not just raw descriptive data which should be already available in all Tables and Figures reported in the paper (Figures) and appendix (Tables); When making conclusions and interpretation of the scores authors should just cite their own relevant material (e.g. see: Table 1 in Appendix I or see: Figure 1). Unnecessary repetition of information in the paper will not be accepted.

    4. Please use conventional statistical symbols to mark proper scores (list of the most often reported symbols in papers):

n

M
