Discussion

simon tanner Jan 29, 2008:
sì, che lo è, se è solo linguistico. Quello che cambia tutto è la parola 'culturale'. Here we have an interpreter/cultural mediator (or whatever the right term is)
whitepetals (asker) Jan 29, 2008:
La frase è contenuto in un opuscolo per una scuola.

"Il lavoro di prima accoglienza dell'alunno straniero, che comprende anche l'insegnamento della lingua italiana, si traduce nella figura del mediatore linguistico e culturale."
Quindi il mediatore linguistico non è un semplice traduttore.
James (Jim) Davis Jan 28, 2008:
... learn to live with it and just admire the skill.
James (Jim) Davis Jan 28, 2008:
No, Non there is a skill to it. I once had a student (liceo classico, laurea filosofia) who enjoyed seeing how many relative clauses she could squeeze into one sentence. Unfortunately she also wrote texts that I had to translate too. In the end you...
simon tanner Jan 28, 2008:
I was being ironic, Pauley. I quite agree (although rotten to the core is perhaps a SLIGHT exaggeration), and spend much of my energy getting my students to "translate Italian into Italian" before they translate it into English
James (Jim) Davis Jan 28, 2008:
turning kudoz into a chat room.
James (Jim) Davis Jan 28, 2008:
On jars, a few jars never hurt anybody Paul. On linguistic skills I'll never forget the terrible realisation years ago that the best translation for an "attività lavorativa" was quite probably "job". We are lucky poor Angela hasn't rapped our knuckles for
Paul O'Brien Jan 28, 2008:
it's not a skill, it's a rotton-to-the-core abberation which needs to be fought tooth and nail, including by italian friends and colleagues and ESPECIALLY those in the schools and universities.
simon tanner Jan 28, 2008:
well, yes, but it still displays that wonderful Italian skill for making something simple sound complex
James (Jim) Davis Jan 28, 2008:
So its not hype Simon, just a way through a loophole?
James (Jim) Davis Jan 28, 2008:
Anybody who has convinced Simon to pass them on his course I should think Pauley.
Paul O'Brien Jan 28, 2008:
yes, but who or what is the subject of hte verb "tradursi"?
simon tanner Jan 28, 2008:
for various academic-political reasons. But basically mediazione linguistica (at least in Italy) means translation and interpreting, and not necessarily cultural mediation, which is clearly different, although related
simon tanner Jan 28, 2008:
a misleading phrase. This could normally be translated with translator/interpreter. The degree course I teach on is called 'Teoria e tecnica della mediazione linguistica' simply because we are not allowed to call it a degree 'per traduttori ed interpreti
Paul O'Brien Jan 28, 2008:
can we see some more of the sentence please?

subsequently becomes that of interpreter cultural mediator (ICM)

Check it out on google. Looks like ICM is an acronym for a new type of professional figure.

... translates into the figure of the interpreter and translator

New hyped up name for interpreters and translator. Since. the US and UK doesn't seem to have a new hyped up name for them I suggest you use the old terms maybe with a literal translation "linguistic mediator" and "(interpreter/translator)" put in brackets immediately afterwards.

With the new context:
"Preliminary induction work with new foreign pupils, which includes teaching the Italian language, is performed, by a "linguistic and cultural mediator" who is not a mere interpreter or translator."

Thanks Jim.
Peer comment(s):
agree simon tanner : exactly, as I said in my note. If Italian bureaucrats can call a dustman an operatore ambientale, something like this just had to be coming

disagree Paul O'Brien : the word "translates" here jars too much with "interpreter and translator". what about "becomes" or "transforms"? but i need to see the rest of the sentence. for me it's completely meaningless as stands.

A few jars never hurt anybody, moderation in all things. What about can be interpreted as the figure of the..... ?
