한국어·아랍어 간 번역에서 나타나는 오류 분석과 효과적인 번역 학습법 개발에 관한 연구

Abstract

As there is a growing need for accurate Korean-Arabic translation recently,it has come to my attention that errors in translation are due to the translator’s wrong habits, cultural and regional gap, and linguistic interference, not the translator’s lack of skill. This study aims to analyze translations submitted by domestic graduate students of Interpretation and Translation. Inaccurate expression, grammatical error, and poor translation where the intention of the source language cannot be understood when reading it are all regarded as errors for analysis. Results of analysis of translation show that errors occur for the following reasons. - Arabic verb conjugation is hard so gerunds are often used instead. - Arabic grammar and word order are complex. - Differentiating the valency of the verb is difficult. - Distinguishing the subtle difference according to the different prepositions is difficult. - There are standardized expressions commonly used in Korean-Arabic translations. - Linguistic interference with Korean often occurs. - There is lack of recognition on categories where the mark is not apparent in Korean such as pronouns and definite articles. - There are many characteristics in Arabic that are different from Korean. By analyzing these errors, we should come up with learning methods fit for the characteristics of the Arabic language to minimize the commonly appearing errors in Korean-Arabic translations. Most of all, Arabic has a high index of synthesis and high grammatical dependence. Thus, there is a need to focus on grammar when teaching Arabic compared to other languages.
