20.500.12556/DKUM-38690 Translation Mistakes in Bilingual Tourism Signs Napake pri prevajanju dvojezične turistične signalizacije The aim of this thesis was to analyze the language in bilingual tourism signs and tourist maps in Maribor and Ljubljana. Indicative and suggestive bilingual tourism signs were examined, as well as tourist maps found at public places and popular tourist spots. I investigated what kind of translation difficulties, mistranslations, language mistakes, and inconsistencies occur when translating tourism signs and tourist maps from Slovene into English. The theoretical part of the thesis covers the general area of tourism, the characteristics of tourism texts and tourism signs, and the characteristics of translating tourism texts and tourism signs in particular. The empirical part represents an analysis of the concrete translation difficulties found on tourism signs and tourist maps. The translation difficulties are pointed out, and suggestions for improvement are stated. The results of the analysis show that translation difficulties were found in many areas. In the area of spelling, misspellings, the use of abbreviations, and the inconsistent use of British or American English posed a problem. Regarding punctuation, translators had difficulties with the proper use of hyphens, strokes, and grave accents. In the area of grammar, inconsistencies and errors with the use of word order, capitalization, articles, and prepositions were noticed. In semantics, some information was omitted in translations, and meaning was not retained at a suitable level. The level of formality appeared too low in some instances as well, and inconsistencies in terms of using several different translations for the same source term were common. Namen diplomskega dela je analiza prevajalskih in jezikovnih težav ter nedoslednosti pri prevajanju dvojezične turistične signalizacije ter zemljevidov v Mariboru in Ljubljani iz slovenščine v angleščino. Teoretični del diplomskega dela obravnava področje turizma, značilnosti turističnih besedil in turistične signalizacije ter značilnosti prevajanja turističnih besedil oziroma turistične signalizacije. V empiričnem delu je predstavljena analiza najdenih prevajalskih problemov, izpostavljene pa so prevajalske in jezikovne težave besedil turistične signalizacije in zemljevidov ter navedeni predlogi za njihovo izboljšavo. Rezultati analize kažejo, da so težave pri prevajanju turistične signalizacije prisotne na različnih jezikovnih področjih. Pri črkovanju so to nepravilno črkovanje besed, raba okrajšav ter nedosledna raba britanske oziroma ameriške angleščine. Pri rabi ločil imajo prevajalci težave s pravilno rabo vezaja, poševnice in krativca. Na ravni slovnice so opazne tudi nedoslednosti in napake pri besednem vrstnem redu ter rabi velike začetnice, členkov in predlogov. Na področju pomenoslovja so določene informacije iz prevodov izpuščene, pomen besedil pa ni vedno ohranjen v ustrezni meri. Na ravni besediloslovja je v nekaterih primerih raven formalnosti prenizka, nasploh pa je pogosta tudi nedosledna raba uniformnih prevodov določenega izraza. translation mistakes language difficulties tourist texts bilingual tourism signs bilingual tourist maps prevajalske napake jezikovne težave turistična besedila dvojezična turistična signalizacija dvojezični turistični zemljevidi true true false [P.
