Daristana Şêrîn masal setindeki masalların Türkçeye çevrilmesi ve bu masalların Türkçe eğitimi açısından uygunluğunun incelenmesi
Masallar, öğrencilerin diğer edebi metinlere nazaran daha keyifle okudukları veya kendilerine okunduğunda daha keyifle dinledikleri metinlerin başında gelmektedir. Nitelikli ve öğrencilerin seviyelerine uygun olarak yazılan masallardan eğitimde daha fazla yararlanmak gerekir. Bu araştırmanın amacı Kürtçe yazılmış bazı masalların Türkçeye çevrilerek bu masalların Türkçe eğitiminde kullanılabilirliğini incelemektir. Bu araştırmada doküman incelemesi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Daristana Şêrîn masal setinin orijinali yayınevinden temin edildikten sonra Türkçeye çevrilmiştir. Bu sette yer alan masallar teker teker dil, anlatım, içerik ve değerler açısından incelenmiştir. Hangi masalda hangi değere ilişkin kaç örneğin olduğu tablo halinde gösterilmiştir. Ayrıca bu masalların okunabilirlik açısından ortalama hece ve cümle uzunlukları temel alınarak bu masallara ait zorluk dereceleri tablo haline getirilmiştir. Araştırmada bu masalların gerek dil anlatım ve içerik açısından gerekse değerler eğitimi açısından ilköğretim düzeyine uygun olduğu ve Türkçe ders kitaplarında kullanılabilecekleri sonucuna varılmıştır.

A cross-temporal analysis of intralingual translation: The case of Hüseyin Rahmi Gürpinar's works in Türkiye
This study links the shifting language policies in Türkiye to the discourses of intralingual translations, taking into account the political and secularisation trajectory of the country. The thesis seeks to demonstrate the role and function of intralingual translations played in the evolution of the Turkish language and discourse within the framework of the establishment of (de)secularisation, the construction of cultural memory, and the achievement of linguistic hospitality. To accomplish its aims, the present study carries out a cross-temporal analysis of Hüseyin Rahmi Gürpınar's three novels Gulyabani, Kuyruklu Yıldız Altında Bir İzdivaç and Efsuncu Baba written before the Turkish language reform and their intralingual translations conducted by various private publishing houses throughout the Republican history. Seeing discourse as a historically constructed entity, the present study employs Discourse Historical Approach devised by Ruth Wodak (2001) to conduct a cross-temporal analysis of the intralingual translations of Gürpınar's novels. The discourse patterns detected in various intralingual translations reflect the ideological positioning of the time period in which they were created. In conclusion, the reconceptualisation of intralingual translations conducted across different time periods within the framework of Turkish translation history demonstrates that the discourse on Ottoman Turkish is reconstructed based on the prevailing ideologies of the respective production periods during the Republican era. It is revealed that the notion of 'language modernisation' remains inadequate to fully encompass the extent of these intralingual translations, as they both secularise and modernise the discourse of the source text and demonstrate cultural, social, political and historical zeitgeist. Therefore, research on intralingual translations sheds light on the multifaceted relationship between the Republic of Türkiye and its Ottoman past, as well as its gradual trajectory towards secularisation and modernisation.
Analyse des éléments culturels dans les traductions en Turc et en Français des contes de fées de A. S. Pouchkine
Les contes sont une source très riche en termes d'éléments culturels et folkloriques. Le transfert de ces termes est un défi pour les traducteurs pendant le processus de la traduction. Les différences culturelles dans la traduction des contes, obligent les traducteurs à faire des choix en tenant compte de l'œuvre de départ, de la culture du destinataire et de nombreux autres aspects similaires dans le processus de traduction, afin d'assurer le transfert culturel dans les contes. Par conséquent, les traducteurs, qui doivent transférer les éléments culturels, qui sont assez caractéristiques, utilisent différentes techniques et stratégies pendant le processus de la traduction. Cette étude se focalise sur les contes d'Alexandre Sergueïevitch Pouchkine, qui occupent une place importante dans la culture russe. Écrits au XIXe siècle par Pouchkine, ces contes sont caractérisés par leur style particulier, qui est un mélange de poésie et des fables, et par la richesse des éléments culturels. De ce fait, la traduction de ceux-ci est un défi pour les traducteurs qui doivent adopter des stratégies et des téchiniques en fonction de la langue, la culture, le lecteur cible et le skopos. Cette étude analyse quatre traductions, deux « anciennes » et deux « récentes », de cinq contes dans paires de langues russefrançais et russe-turc. Dans le cadre théorique de cette thèse de maîtrise, pour identifier les éléments culturels dans les traductions turques et françaises des contes de Pouchkine, la notion des éléments spécifiques à la culture (ang. culture specific items) et les stratégies de traduction dans le transfert des éléments spécifiques à la culture d'Aixelà ont été utilisées. En outre, dans le passage des micro-stratégies de traduction aux macro-stratégies de traduction, on s'est servi des notions de « domestication » et d'« étrangéisation » de Venuti. Compte tenu de ces concepts et stratégies, dans le contexte de l'hypothèse de retraduction de Berman, le transfert des éléments spécifiques à la culture dans les retraductions des contes de Pouchkine du russe vers le turc et le français a été étudié.
Imageries of horror in literary translation: The Turkishtranslations of Clive Barker's the books of Blood volume I
Horror fiction occupies a significant place in Western literature, although it is not historically canonical. It has maintained its popularity since the emergence of the Gothic novel in the eighteenth century. With relatively fewer examples of horror fiction in Turkish, Turkish readers have been exposed to horror largely through translated works. Since the emotion of horror is central to the horror genre, transferring this emotion to the target text is crucial. Imagery as a literary device is a major contributor to the emotion of horror, termed "art horror" (Carroll, 1990) . This study aims to analyze the use of imagery in both source and target texts and to provide a descriptive analysis of the target texts, based on the translation strategies employed by the translators. Within this scope, the present study compares Clive Barker's The Books of Blood Volume I and its two Turkish translations. Ultimately, as a result of the analysis, it is found that particular translation strategies serve the purpose of re-creating ST art horror imagery in varying degrees and it is reasonable to evaluate those strategies in terms of their applicability in the reproduction of the source text art horror by prioritizing image representation over text representation.
Analysis of an immigrant novel and its Turkish translation from the standpoint of translation studies
Translation has always been a part of cultural and social change and it has sometimes been seen as a tool of oppression and sometimes one that liberates the voice of others, those who are overlooked and underrated by dominant cultures. Those living in minority or immigrant groups have used language as a representation of their experiences and tried to be understood and accepted. One of the most representative examples of such an endeavor is included in this dissertation as a case study. It is a bilingual novel by Junot Diaz titled The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao that won the Pulitzer Award in 2008. The translation of this novel is by Püren Özgüren with the title of Oscar Wao'nun Tuhaf Kısa Yaşamı published in 2009. The source text uses code-switching and bilingualism as strategy to represent the complex and exotic nature of immigrant experience. The source and the target text are analyzed and described in this dissertation under the light of cultural perspective in translation studies and the term cultural translation.

A descriptive research on the Turkish translations of Atatürk: The Rebirth of a Nation
The aim of this thesis is to examine the three Turkish translations of the source text (ST) titled Atatürk: The Rebirth of a Nation written by Lord Kinross: the first target text (TT1), in serialized form in 1965 the second target text (TT2) in full form in 1966 and the third target text (TT3) in reprint form in 1988. Within a descriptive theoretical framework, selected examples from the three translations related to "dictatorship", "religion" and the "Turkish political scene" have been analyzed with a focus on the dynamics of the equivalence relationships between the source text and the three translations and on the impact of the historical, socio-cultural, and political context on the translations. The results of the analysis of the translations of the examples concerning the use of the term "dictatorship" have shown that the equivalence relationship between ST and TT1 is closer to the acceptability pole while the equivalence relationship between ST and TT2 and TT3 is closer to the adequacy pole. In terms of the second category which is related to the use of the term "religion", an equivalence relationship closer to the acceptability pole exists between ST and TT1 while the equivalence relationship between ST and TT2 is situated in the middle of the adequacy and acceptability poles. The equivalence relationship between ST and TT3, on the other hand, is situated also in the middle of the two poles, but closer to the acceptability pole compared to TT2. The results of the analysis concerning the examples related to the "Turkish political scene" as the third category have shown that an equivalence relationship closer to the acceptability pole exists between ST and TT1 while an equivalence relationship closer to adequacy exists between ST and TT2 and TT3. However, these results do not suggest a binary opposition between the two poles and that they are obtained only for the analysis of selected examples of the three categories.

A descriptive and comparative study on the Turkish translations of Jean Webster's Daddy-Long-Legs
Around the world as well as in Turkey various studies are being conducted in the field of children's literature. There have been numerous discussions concerning the definition, types, functions and addressees of children's literature besides the roles played by adult readers, writers and translators. Thanks to its unique characteristics such as addressing to more than one audience, adapting contexts in line with the cultures, the relations of texts and images along with manipulations with ideological intentions, children's literature paves the way for countless studies on translated texts in the field. With the advantage of these features, a descriptive and comparative study has been carried out on the chosen Turkish translations, Örümcek Dede and Uzun Bacaklı Baba, of a renowned novel Daddy-Long-Legs, written by Jean Webster in 1912. With the aim of determining the equivalence relationship between Daddy-Long-Legs and the aforesaid translations to the acceptability and adequacy poles, norms and their relations in translation put forward by Gideon Toury (2012) constitute the framework of this study while the features that clarify the systemic constraints on translated texts put forward by Zohar Shavit (1986) constitute the focal point of this study. As a result, it can be asserted that the equivalence relationship between Örümcek Dede and Daddy-Long-Legs is close to the acceptability pole; the equivalence relationship between Uzun Bacaklı Baba and Daddy-Long-Legs is close to the adequacy pole. Nevertheless, the results of the analysis are valid for the chosen examples and aforesaid poles are not contrary. Besides, it can be claimed that the principles of systemic affiliation have been applied for Örümcek Dede and it is exposed to manipulation.
A descriptive study on the Turkish translation of Captains Courageous
The aim of this thesis is to conduct a thorough descriptive analysis on one of the Turkish translations of Captains Courageous (1897) by Rudyard Kipling. The original novel is regarded as one of the early examples of young adult fiction, a genre that has been underresearched both in literary studies and translation studies. Captains Courageous seems to have a special place in the systems of translated young adult and children's literature in Turkey since there are twenty-six translations of the book in total, all conducted after the establishment of the Republic of Turkey. The translation that was carried out by Kamuran Şerif [Saru] and published in Arabic letters in 1928 right before the alphabet reform is selected as the focus of the descriptive analysis since it is the first translation of the work and it represents one of the most critical periods in Turkish history, namely the early Republican Period. The methodology of the descriptive analysis is mainly based on the theoretical contributions of the prominent members of the Descriptive School. While Gideon Toury's target-oriented theory (1985) is used to observe the norms governing the translation process, Itamaar Even-Zohar's Polysystem Theory (1978) and Andre Lefevere's notion of "patronage" (1992) are also benefitted from in an attempt to clarify the parallels between the translator's strategies and the dominant ideological and poetological tendencies of the early Republican Period. The findings of the descriptive study indicate that the equivalence relationship between the source and the target texts could generally be defined as "acceptable" (Toury, 1995, 56) although when lower-level decisions of the translator are taken into account, it could be claimed that the translator skillfully moves back and forth between the adequacy and acceptability poles. The findings also reveal that most choices of the translator are in accord with the poetics of his time and that the ideological tendencies of the period could be observed in the decisions of the translator as well as in the foreword written by Ahmet Cevat [Emre], one of the prominent Turkologists of the period in question.
Oscar Wilde'in The İmportance Of Being Earnest eserinin Türkçe çevirilerinin görünürlük ve görünmezlik odağında betimleyici bir incelemesi
This thesis aims to analyze the two translations of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest (1895) which are Ciddi Olmanın Önemi by Murat Erşen published in 2007 and Maksat Samimiyet by Can Yücel published in 2018 within the scope of the arguments of Venuti about the translator's invisibility. In the research, the book covers, titles, idioms, made-up words, religion, and mythological terms, proper names, cultural items, examinations, and addressing words were analyzed based the Gideon Toury's descriptive theoretical approach. As a result of the analysis based on the selected examples, it was seen that the equivalence relationship between the ST and TT1 is closer to the adequacy pole while the equivalence relationship between the ST and TT2 is closer to the acceptability pole. In the research, the foreignization/domestication strategies and their relations to the translator's visibility and invisibility which were asserted by Venuti were analyzed. It is seen in most of the examples that a translation process that is closer to the target culture's norms is pursued and predominantly domestication strategy is adopted in TT2. Unlike Venuti's argument which asserts that foreignization strategy means showing a resistance to the target culture's norms and by doing so, makes the translator's efforts visible, in this case, it is seen that by applying domestication strategy, TT2 is closer to the target culture's norms and by disguising the dominant English culture items, it resists to the source culture's norms and makes the translator visible. This analysis of the case study demonstrated that contrary to Venuti's argument about applying foreignization strategy might not mean showing resistance to the source culture and it makes the translator and translator's effort visible while applying domestication strategy makes the translator and the translator's effort invisible. It was concluded that we cannot talk about a direct connection between the translator's visibility and the translation strategy in every case, time, culture, and language and there is more than one factor involved other than the translation strategy in the translator's visibility.
A descriptive and comparative study on the Turkish translations of the video game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Video games started to become a part of our lives with the emergence of arcade games in the 1970s and they have rapidly become widespread especially in the 2000s thanks to globalization and the fast growing game market. Game translation and localization played a big role in this spread. However, there are many games that do not have an official Turkish translation due to various reasons such as localization cost or political climate. Some games that do not have an official Turkish translation are occasionally translated into Turkish by their fans. In this study, both fan and official translations of the video game The Withcer 3: Wild Hunt are compared within the framework of video game translation strategies put forward by Alberto Fernández Costales in order to reveal the translation strategies used in them. The strategies are then interpreted within the framework of Hans J. Vermeer's Skopos theory in order to reveal the translations' aim. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that while both translations were produced with aims that could be regarded as similar, the translation strategies used tend to show a certain degree of variation.
Mizancı Murad Bey'in "Taharrî-i İstikbal" adlı eserinin birinci cildinin yeni Türk alfabesine aktarılması ve tahlili
Mizancı Murad Bey'in "Taharrî-i İstikbal" adlı eserinin birinci cildini, Osmanlı Türkçesinden yeni Türk alfabesine aktarmak ve içerisindeki yazıların tahlilini yapmak amacıyla hazırlamış olduğumuz tezimizin sonucunda Mizancı Murad Bey'in önemli bir fikir adamı, milletine bağlı bir vatandaş ve hem zihin dünyası hem de üslûbu son derece zengin ve kuvvetli bir yazar olduğu ortaya çıkmaktadır. II. Abdülhamid döneminde milletin içerisinde bulunduğu sıkıntılı hal, yaşanılan siyasi sorunlar, padişahın durumlar karşısındaki davranışlarına ışık tutan Mehmed Murad Bey, büyük bir bilgi birikimi ve ileri görüşlülüğe sahiptir. 1886-1909 yılları arasında yayımlamış olduğu Mîzan gazetesi üç devreden oluşmaktadır. İlk devresinde padişah yanlısı tutum sergileyen Mehmed Murad Bey, ikinci ve üçüncü devrede kırgınlık ve kızgınlıklarını ortaya koyarak padişaha muhalif bir tavır takınmıştır. Çalışmadaki amacımız, Mîzan gazetesinin ikinci devresindeki 30 yazıyı okura sunmak, gelecek nesillerin geçmişlerini yakından inceleyebilmelerini sağlamak, edebiyatımızın siyasi tenkit türünde Murad Bey'in nasıl bir ilerleme kaydettiğini göstermek ve fikirlerinin günümüz Türkçesi ile daha iyi anlaşılabilmesine vesile olmaktır. Bu sebeple incelediğimiz Taharrî-i İstikbal eserinin birinci cildi, 1911 yılında Mizancı Murad Bey'in oğlu tarafından İstanbul Amidi Matbaası'nda basılmıştır. Avrupa ve Mısır döneminde Mîzan gazetesinde yayımlanan yazılar iki cilt halinde okura sunulmuştur. İki ciltten birincisi tarafımızdan incelenmiştir. Mizancı Murad Bey, Taharrî-i İstikbal'in birinci cildindeki yazılarında ağır bir tenkit üslubu kullanmaktadır. Gözlemlerine dayalı incelemelerde bulunan Mehmed Murad Bey, padişahın eksikliklerini, devlet adamlarının görevlerindeki hallerini, yaşanılan sorunların temelindeki problemi ve tüm bunların sonucunda halkın durumunu konu almıştır. İşlediği her sorun, mesele ve noksanlığın çözümünü de ortaya koyarak, II.Abdülhamid'i yanlışlarını düzeltmeye davet etmiştir. Anahtar Kelimeler: II. Abdülhamid, Gazetecilik, Mizancı Murad Bey, Taharrî-i İstikbal.
J.K. Rowlıng'in Harry Potter fantastik roman serisinde atasözleri ve deyimler
Bu çalışma, J.K. Rowling'in Harry Potter serisinin Türkçe çevirisinde kullanılan deyim ve atasözlerini sistematik bir şekilde incelemektedir. Yapılan taramada, kültürel kimlikleri güçlü olduğu için yalnızca 2 atasözüne karşılık, anlatımı zenginleştiren 281 deyim tespit edilmiştir. Deyimler, duygu, davranış, tehlike ve mizah gibi 21 farklı kategori altında sınıflandırılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonuçları, çevirmenin "ölçülü yerelleştirme" stratejisi izlediğini ortaya koymaktadır. Metnin orijinal İngiliz kültürü atmosferini korurken, Türkçenin anlatım gücünden ve deyimsel zenginliğinden ustalıkla yararlanılmıştır. Deyimler, karakter betimlemelerini güçlendirmiş, serinin karanlıklaşan tonuna paralel olarak çeşitlenmiş ve mizah unsurunun aktarımında kritik bir rol oynamıştır. Bu dengeli yaklaşım, eserin Türk okurlarında yarattığı derin duygusal bağ ve edebî keyfin temel nedenlerinden biri olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışma, bu başarılı çevirinin, kaynak metne sadık kalan ancak hedef kültürde son derece samimi ve etkileyici bir deneyim yaratan bir örnek teşkil ettiği sonucuna varmıştır.
Introduction of a new sub-genre into the Turkish literary polysystem through translation: Webcomics in print
The aim of this study is to investigate the transfer of webcomics in print as a new sub-genre into the Turkish literary polysystem through translation. To this end, Itamar Even-Zohar's Polysystem Theory (1978) is adopted in order to define and describe the position of webcomics both in the source and target cultures. Furthermore, Klaus Kaindl's (1999) typology for translation procedures, Javier Franco Aixelá's translation strategies for culture-specific items (1996) and Lawrence Venuti's concepts of foreignization and domestication (1995) are adopted so as to examine which translation strategies are employed in the Turkish translations of webcomics in print. For the purposes of this study, two books composed by Sarah Andersen titled Adulthood is a Myth (2016) and Big Mushy Happy Lump (2017) and two books by Nick Seluk titled Heart and Brain (2015) and Heart and Brain Gut Instincts (2016) will be analysed in comparison to their Turkish translations titled Büyümek Diye Bir Şey Yok (2017), Musmutlu Yumuş Yumak (2018), Kalp ve Beyin (2017) and Kalp ve Beyin İç İşleri (2018), respectively. Findings will be presented in order to explore which strategies have been most frequently adopted in the Turkish translations. The study concludes that orthographic adaptation and repetition are the most frequently used micro-translation strategies in the Turkish translations. The study also highlights that the macro-translation strategy of foreignization prevails in the translations owing to the Turkish translator's diligent endeavour to use various conservation strategies to retain the source-texts' humorous style during the transfer of humorous elements to the Turkish language.
Temporal and technical effort in post-editing compared to editing and translation from scratch
The aim of this thesis is to compare the temporal and technical effort spent by translators to post-edit machine translation outputs with editing and translation from scratch. The research also compares a statistical machine translation engine specially trained for the experiment with a public neural machine translation engine. For the purposes of the thesis, a sample of higher education students took part in an experiment in which they had to post-edit machine translation output, edit human translation, or translate from scratch from English to Turkish. The experiment was conducted with news texts on a common computer-assisted translation tool. The amount of time participants spent editing sentences and the amount of editing they did were quantitatively measured. The results showed that there was no significant difference between the specially trained statistical machine translation engine and the neural machine translation engine. It was found that the participants spent more technical and temporal effort when translating from scratch and editing human translation than post-editing machine translation. This thesis aims to serve as a guide for stakeholders in evaluating the benefits of post-editing, a relatively new service in the translation industry, for the client, the project and the translator, and to encourage much-needed similar studies in this language pair.
Translation studies and remakes: A case study on translation of culture specific items in Turkish remake of TV series Shameless (US)
Considering its field of study, translation studies is quite suitable for interdisciplinary work and remakes are one of them. Remakes took their place in the history of cinema with the movie Un partie de cartes in 1896. The involvement of remakes in the field of translation studies took place much later. This situation has caused a scholarly gap in the field of translation studies considering that the remakes are widely used in the media outlets of today's world. The aim of this study is to examine remakes in order to contribute filling this gap and to analyze how culture specific items (CSIs) are transferred in remakes. To this end, the TV series Shameless (US) and its Turkish remake Bizim Hikaye are analyzed. CSIs in the source and target series are identified and analyzed according to Pedersen's (2005) translation strategy model. It was found that, in line with the unique characteristic of remakes, translators mainly preferred target oriented translation strategies in translating CSIs and translation was highly influenced by the socio-cultural characteristics of the target culture, especially in the translation of certain sub-headings. It was demonstrated that almost all translation strategies, due to the nature of remakes, aim to bring the source text closer to the target text. The translation strategies include complete omissions as well as situational paraphrase and cultural substitution. In parallel with the socio-cultural characteristics of the target culture, a particular pattern has been identified in the strategies utilized in the translation of sexuality and taboo related items, brand names and CSIs in the religious context. It has been revealed that this pattern detected in the use of translation strategies also affects the narrative of the story and makes the target series a TV show that considers social sensitivities more than the source series.
Francesca Simon'un "Felaket Henry" serisindeki kültürel ögelerin çevirisi
Literary texts reflect the social and cultural aspects of society. Culture-specific items play a key role in reflecting the culture in the texts. In this regard, translation is a way of cross-cultural communication. Children's literature requires special attention in this context. Translation of children's literature means not only transferring one language to another, but also opening the door to a foreign world. Culture-specific items have important roles in the translation of children's literature. Through exploring the culture of the 'other' worlds, a child can broaden her/his horizon, thanks to translation, the child reader meets new and foreign worlds. Thus translation of culture-specific items in children's literature requires special treatment. Culture-specific items in children's literature should be translated using the appropriate translation strategies, creating the same effect as in the source text and in a way that the child reader can understand. Which translation strategies to adopt, depends on the target reader's age as well. In today's world, translation of children's literature is dominated by many 'adults' such as authors, translators, editors, publishers, teachers, and parents. They are the ones who decide how much of the 'foreign' world and culture is transmitted to the child. In this study, translators' choices and strategies are dealt with within the framework of Venuti's translation approaches which are domestication and foreignization, and Davies's translation strategies which are preservation, omission, addition, creation, localization, transformation, and globalization. The objective of this study is to research to what extent and how much of the culture-specific items have been transferred in the translations of the Horrid Henry series. This thesis examines translation strategies adopted by the translators in the light of Davies's translation strategies which are used to explain the translation of culture-specific items. This study also examines the translation strategies used in Horrid Henry series within the framework of Venuti's foreignization and domestication approaches.

A comparative analysis of the Turkish translations of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (1964) is regarded as a children's classic extensively read by children worldwide. Dahl's unique storytelling techniques, neologisms, intriguing plots, and stylistic features earned him worldwide recognition as one of the most prominent children's authors. Therefore, it is essential to examine how it was translated by two different translators for the same publishing house and received by Turkish children's literature readers. This study aims to make a thorough translation analysis of the book within Raymond van den Broeck's translation criticism model, with an attempt to pave the way for further research on the translation of children's literature and its translation criticism. Translation of children's literature requires serious consideration of its audience. Translating for children is considered an easy task; however, it is as complex and demanding as translations of adult literature. To this end, a masterpiece of the genre, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (1964) by Roald Dahl and its two Turkish translations by Makbel Oytay (1989) and Celal Üster (2006) is going to be analyzed and compared in accordance with Broeck's translation criticism model. Within this framework, cultural and cross-cultural elements in the book will be analyzed, the translators' choices will be evaluated, and the translators' possible reasons for using numerous translation strategies when translating the culture-specific terms will be discussed. In addition, the transmission of the translation of linguistic and extra-linguistic elements in the source text is examined and compared. This thesis also uses Aixela's translation strategies and aims to specify the choices made by the translators based on Broeck's framework. The study results conclude that there are significant differences between the source text and target texts in terms of stylistic, lexical, and cultural elements between the source text and target texts.

Literarische synthese zum Türkischen frauenbild. ein vergleich der protagonistinnen bei Kurban Said: Das Mädchen vom Goldenen Horn und Fatma Aydemir: Ellbogen
This article deals with a historical-literary evaluation of the Orient on the basis of the work by Kurban Said, written in German in 1938 and translated into Turkish in 2020, who wrote with this novel "Das Mädchen vom Goldenen Horn" a kind of literary treatise on the cultural conflict between the Orient and the Occident. The Orient is embodied by the protagonist Asiadeh, but begins in the Occident, in Berlin, and ends in the Orient or at least in the sensual longing for it. It follows that a controversy arises between the Occident (Berlin) and the Orient (Istanbul). The novel describes the cultural, oriental and feminine potential of Turkish society in the diaspora and accordingly defines its values. In addition, the historical and political events are explained and allow an explicit research of Kurban Said to emerge. The present contribution defines the literary standpoints on the Orient, Occident and Turkish culture and integrates them into the scientific Orient cycle. To make a comparison to the Modern, the work by Fatma Aydemir, written about 100 years later: Elbow, is added. Keywords Home, identity, classical literature, orient, occident
Kafka'nın "Die Verwandlung" adlı öyküsünün ara dilden çeviri bağlamında değerlendirilmesi
Bu çalışmada "Ara Dilden Çeviri" olgusu konu edilmiş ve uygulamalı örnek düzleminde betimleyici bir yaklaşımla ara dilden çevirinin etkisi tartışmaya açılmıştır. Bu bağlamda Kafka'nın "Die Verwandlung" adlı öyküsünün Mehmet Harmancı tarafından aracı bir dil üzerinden yapıldığı düşünülen Türkçe çevirisi, kaynak metin olarak kullanıldığı belirlenen İngilizce çevirisi ve Kamuran Şipal tarafından yapılan doğrudan çeviri betimsel çeviri araştırmaları ışığında karşılaştırılarak incelenmiştir. Bu amaçla öncelikle çeviri süreci öncesi normların neler olduğu, bir başka ifadeyle ilgili çevirmenlerin çeviri anlayışlarını belirleyen norm ve kısıtlamalar, çeviri öncesi yapılan çalışmalar, çeviri stratejileri ortaya koyulmaya çalışılmıştır. İncelemede ilgili öyküyü Almancadan İngilizceye çeviren Willa ve Edwin Muir çiftinin çeviri kararlarının ara dil çevirmenini etkileyip etkilemediği ya da söz konusu çeviri kararlarının ara dil çevirmeninin işini mi güçleştirdiği yoksa metni çözümlemede fayda mı sağladığı sorgulanmıştır. Çeviri karşılaştırmaları sonucunda elde edilen veriler "Devingen Dil Kullanımı Bakımından Ara Dilden Çeviri", "Eklemeler" ve "Çıkarmalar" olmak üzere üç ana başlık altında çeşitli çeviri kuramlarından faydalanılarak çoğulcu bir yaklaşımla yorumlanmaya çalışılmıştır. Eser analizlerinde özellikle Gideon Toury tarafından geliştirilen "Betimleyici Çeviri Araştırmaları" yönteminden ve Eugene Albert Nida'nın "eşdeğer etki" kavramına dair görüşlerinden faydalanılmıştır.
Hoffmann Von Fallerslebens Kinderlyrik. Ein interkultureller zugang durch die Türkische übersetzung ausgewählter werke aus der zeit des Vormärz
Kinderlieder und -gedichte sind als Vermittler zwischen verschiedenen Kulturen zu sehen, da sie wie literarische Texte, Träger der entsprechenden Kultur sind. Durch ihre pädagogische Funktion erleben die Kinder die Sprache durch Kinderlieder als spielerisch und erwerben diese auf eine ganz andere Weise, als Erwachsene beispielsweise eine Fremdsprache erlernen. Da die deutsche Kultur reich an Kinderliedern ist, tauchte die Idee auf, diese ins Türkische zu übersetzen und das Repertoire der türkischen Kinderlieder zu erweitern. Diese Idee wurde durch ein Projekt zusammen mit der Kulturabteilung der Deutschen Botschaft Ankara unterstützt. Für das Projekt und die vorliegende Arbeit wurden 13 Kinderlieder der Epoche Vormärz und Biedermeier ausgewählt und zunächst auf ihre Metrik und ihr Reimschema hin analysiert. Ohne diese Analyse wäre eine reine Übersetzung nicht zutreffend, da es sich hier nicht um Sachtexte sondern um literarische, ja sogar um Lieder handelt, dessen Verse jeweils ein unterschiedliches Reimschema aufweisen. Zudem wurde versucht darzustellen, ob die Melodie im Ausgangstext durch diesen Übersetzungsprozess in den Zieltext erhalten bleibt und ob es sprachliche Barrieren während der Übersetzung gibt und wenn ja, wie diese aufgehoben werden können.
