LIDIA VIANU: HOW TO BEGIN A GRADUATION PAPER Copierea nedeclarata (cu adresa de site si data de accesare) de pe internet a oricarui cuvant, cat de mic, duce automat la pierderea examenului. Structura lucrarii: 1. Analiza PROPRIE a romanului ales (tot ce e copiat se taie, chiar daca vine din carti si nu de pe net -- va detectez prin tipul de limbaj folosit, deci nu incercati). 2. ABORDARE TRADUCTOLOGICA: Confruntarea traducerii publicate (DATI NUMELE TRADUCATORULUI) cu originalul si cu sugestiile voastre. Pe doua coloane (una - originalul; a doua -- traducerea si dedesubt ce propuneti voi), ori una sub alta. Aici mentionati cateva principii de TRADUCTOLOGIE folosite. 3. 15 pagini traduse de voi, pe doua coloane (originalul si traducerea voastra). Va rog cititi mai jos regulile de dactilografiere a punctuatiei si aplicati-le. Scrieti titlurile romanelor in italics (nu cu ghilimele).

1. Choose your contemporary author and find the list of all his works. Choose one volume and find its Romanian translation(s). Mention the TRANSLATOR’S NAME from the very beginning. 2. Ask me for books on Postmodernism (several volumes at least). Define your approach(es). 3. Ask me for books on TRANSLATION THEORY (I can send a few via email and you can photocopy the rest). Read 3-5 such volumes. 4. The structure of you paper should be the following: a. Foreword: What you mean to do. b. Chapter 1: Your own critical analysis of the novel(s) you have chosen. c. Chapter 2: Analysis of the Romanian translation. Compare fragments, offer your own versions, state why the translation is good or bad. Always give the name of the published translator. d. Chapter 3: Translate 15 pages on your own. e. Draw up a Glossary of the author’s terms, looking for: standard definitions and context, the author’s contexts, your own interpretation of the word as you think it should be translated. g. Afterword: What you have learned from this paper.

h. HANDOUT to be used at the oral exam: Take the most interesting mistakes in the published Romanian version and discuss your own suggetions, improvements, etc. 5. Draw a plan for what you mean to deal with, and show it to me before you start writing. The title of each chapter is highly important, and even more so the title of the paper. Do not proceed before you have talked them over with me in detail. 6. Write a foreword, outlining your approach, the intention of your paper, your original contribution to criticism in the matter. If you use several critical approaches, state which and where. Choose a number of translation principles which you are going to rely on. 7. Write an afterword, summing up your research and the way you used your bibliography. 8. Make sure every idea that does not belong to you has a foot/end note, even if you paraphrase it. Give the exact pages and the edition of the book used. If you do not mention your sources, you cannot graduate. 9. Your final BIBLIOGRAPHY should consist of: a. Primary bibliography: the chosen writer’s works; b. Secondary bibliography: critical volumes on your chosen author (use the Internet for information, not as a source in itself: go to the written page for reference) and the 20th/21st century background; general criticism/translation theory, to back your approach. For books consulted only partially, give the exact pages. 10. The paper should be from 60 pages long to an unlimited amount. 11. Begin with the contents. 12. Write titles of works in italics, do not place them between inverted commas. 13. Ask me to lend you books for the General Bibliography. Make your own bibliography, and write down every page and reference from the moment you start working on your graduation paper. 14. Never use short forms. 15. For every quotation in your paper (from the works discussed or from critics) give a precise page, title, author, publishing house, year. 16. Do not bring me a paper I have not followed step by step, do not come with titles or chapter titles we have not discussed beforehand.

17. Edit your paper with 12 pt font, single spaced. 18. Make sure you know all the editing rules (how to use . , — - and all the other marks). 19. If your English is less than very good, your grade cannot be the best. 20. Please check carefully all typos or language mistakes before you hand in your paper, unless you want them to lower your grade. 21. Ordinea paginilor:

PUNCTUATION GUIDELINES Ampersand An ampersand (&) is used as a shortened form of and. The ampersand should be avoided within text but may be used for company names such as Wilson & Jones or P & O if that is the general style of the company name. The ampersand may be used in tables, figures and display documents if space restrictions are severe. Leave one space before and after an ampersand. Apostrophe Use an apostrophe to show where letters have been omitted, for example, don’t, shouldn’t, o’clock. An apostrophe is also used to show possession, for example, Susan’s new car. Leave no space between an apostrophe and the letters of the word it belongs to. Asterisk Leave no space between an asterisk and the word it refers to. Colon A colon (:) is used to mark a pause or separation that is shorter than the pause given by a full stop. Use a colon to introduce a run-in list. Leave one space after a colon. Comma Use a comma  to introduce a quotation or reported speech. For example: She said, ‘I enjoyed the movie’.  between items in a list. For example:

5

Please buy some milk, eggs, bread and cheese.  after an introductory name or phrase. For example: To grow healthy plants, water and fertilise them regularly.  to separate words or phrases which could be left out of a sentence without affecting its meaning. For example: The dessert, which was delicious, was served with ice-cream. Leave one space after a comma. Em rule – An em rule is a rule the width of the letter ‘m’. An em rule is used to enclose an expression which, when omitted, does not change the basic meaning of a sentence. For example: The invitation was extended—somewhat begrudgingly—to all committee members. Do not leave any space before or after an em rule. Press Alt-Ctrl-Num – to insert an Em rule. En rule An en rule is a rule the width of the letter ‘n’. An en rule is used in spans of figures and when expressing time or distance, for example, pages 211–15, May–July, Melbourne–Perth flight. Do not leave any space before or after an en rule. Press Ctrl-Num – to insert an en rule. Exclamation mark The exclamation mark is used to indicate surprise, disbelief or strong emotion. It replaces a full stop at the end of a sentence. Leave one space after an exclamation mark.Punctuation guidelines Punctuation 2 Garton and Garrett, WP: Simple Business Documents Full stop A full stop is used to end a sentence that is not a question or an exclamation. A full stop is only used in abbreviations if closed punctuation is being used. A full stop is used as a decimal point in numbers. Leave one space after a full stop. In the past, typists were taught to leave two and even three spaces after a full stop. This was done to create the space required to indicate a pause at the end of a sentence. Now that mostly proportional fonts are used, the extra spaces create unsightly gaps in text. The initial capital letter of a sentence—which occupies a large amount of space when compared with lower case letters—draws attention to a new sentence and only one space is required to signify a pause at the end of a sentence. Hyphen

6

A hyphen is used to show where a word has been hyphenated at a line ending. A hyphen is used in complex words and compound words, for example, disease-free, anti-inflammatory, mother-in-law. A hyphen is also used in numbers, for example, twenty-two, forty-five. Leave no space between a hyphen and the letters of the word it belongs to. Open punctuation When using open punctuation exclude all unnecessary punctuation marks such as full stops in abbreviations, for example, Mr D R Bright, eg, etc. Leave one space after an initial of a name, for example, D Watson. Open punctuation is the most widely used punctuation style. Parentheses Also known as brackets, parentheses are used to enclose expressions that are not essential to the meaning of the sentence but that may be considered an aside or may clarify or amplify a sentence. Leave one space before a left bracket and no space after it. Leave no space before a right bracket and one space after it. Percentage Leave no space between a figure and the percentage sign, for example, 58%. Question mark The question mark (?) is used at the end of a question and replaces a full stop. Do not use a question mark at the end of a request in the form of a question, for example, Would you please reply immediately. Leave one space after a question mark. Quotation marks Quotation marks are used to enclose direct speech and quotations. Always use single quotation marks (‘ ’). For example: ‘Thank you for your efforts,’ said Gary. Double quotation marks (“ ”) are only used for a quotation within a quotation. She said, ‘Justin yelled “Get out of the way”, just before the accident.’ Technical or colloquial words may be enclosed in quotation marks. She had a severe case of ‘Mondayitis’. Leave one space before an opening quotation mark and leave one space after a closing quotation mark. Don’t leave any space between quotation marks and the words enclosed by them. Semicolon Use a semicolon (;) to separate parts of a sentence that require a stronger break than a comma provides. A semi-colon can also be used in run-in lists at the end of each item.

7

Leave one space after a semicolon. Solidus The solidus may also be known as a slash, diagonal or oblique. It is used in abbreviations such as a/c (account) and km/h (kilometres per hour). Do not space before or after a solidus.
