Journal Article
Understanding Translation as a Locus of English Arabic Language Contact in the Age of Globalization
2017
Overview
This paper investigates translation practices from a contact-linguistic perspective and regards translation as a language contact phenomenon in which translators use both the source and target language. By analyzing parallel corpora of BBC news website and its Arabic version, the paper seeks to reveal that translation-mediated contact leaves some traces of the influence of English in its role as the world's most widely spread and used lingua franca on Arabic. One of the major consequences of this influence is the introduction of Anglicisms into the vocabulary of Arabic. In other words, this paper examines the frequency of Anglicisms in translating BBC news into Arabic.
