Abstract:
AbstractIn this paper, I explore the validity of the retranslation hypothesis – that the first translation of a text tends to be more target culture oriented than subsequent translations – in representations of certain Biblical concepts in the translations of the Bible into Igbo. Specifically I investigate instances of lexical borrowings in the first complete translation of the Bible into Igbo because, following from the hypothesis, subsequent translations of the Bible should also borrow the same items. I discover that most of the borrowings in the first translation are de-borrowed in the retr

Abstract:
As discoveries are made, new words are needed to capture and describe the various new realities. These new words and ideas need to be either translated or transliterated into other languages for the benefit of the users of those languages. Consequently, strategies used successfully for previous translations and transliterations need to be studied, understood, and defined in order to maintain consistency in subsequent translations. It is from this perspective that this work seeks to unveil the translation and transliteration strategies employed in expressing the names of the sixty-six books of

Abstract:
Through translation the target reader is exposed to other cultures. Translators, therefore, have to use the target language to convey the source text message to the target reader. There are various choices at their disposal as to how they wish to convey the source text message. They may choose to adopt the norms and conventions of the source text message, and therefore those of the source language and culture, or choose those of the target language. Commonly, adherence to the target language norms and conventions leads to a strategy in which the foreignness of both linguistic and cultural conv

This study cross-culturally adapted and validated the Igbo Brief Illness Perceptions Questionnaire (Igbo-BIPQ) in people with CLBP in rural/urban Nigeria. METHODS: A cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Igbo-BIPQ was undertaken. The BIPQ was forward/back-translated by clinical/non-clinical translators. An expert review committee appraised the translations. The questionnaire was pre-tested on twelve rural Nigerian dwellers with CLBP.

It also aims to make the knowledge accessible in the Igbo language for empowerment at the grassroots and ultimately for societal and national development. The need for this work is born out of the observation that the Igbo, as well as other tribes in Nigeria are rich with internationally acclaimed learned personalities.

Abstract:
Africans don’t just talk; they have a way of saucing their sayings with ‘pepper’ to make what they say appealing and interesting to the ear. This is exactly what Achebe achieved in his first novel: Things Fall Apart. Proverbs, he said, is the palm oil with which words are eaten; and he allowed his characters to utilise them to show the wisdom in African culture, beliefs and tradition. What we did in this work was to consider those proverbs and idioms identified in the novel and subject them to the context of their usages, as well as examine the meanings these proverbs and idioms have among the

This essay examines the proverbs, and other wise-sayings as used in Achebe’s Things Fall Apart vis-à-vis the Ogunyemi’s Yoruba translations of the novel, Ìgbésí Ayé Okonkwo. The within-to-within approach is the lens through which the text and its Yoruba translation are explored. The approach establishes some level of similarities in the cultures and nuances of both languages (Igbo and Yoruba) due to their mutual intelligibility. The work encourages more translation of African novels written originally in English, French, or Portuguese into African languages. Doing so preserves the languages an

It is a study of the dynamics of the translation process, with particular reference to the roles played by the actual speakers of the <i>Yoruba, Igbo</i> and <i>Isekiri</i> languages, as the Bible was being translated into their mother tongue. We have tried to understand the process of deciding why a translation was needed in these languages, who should do the translations and the relationships between the mother-tongue translators and the European missionaries with whom they worked.

Abstract:
Guided-wave optical frequency shifters are being developed for a variety of applications. Some systems, such as the phase-nulling optical fiber gyroscope, require only moderate frequency shifts of up to several megahertz but with high side-band suppression. Serrodyne frequency translation is attractive for these applications. Here we present experimental results on a Ti:LiNbO3 serrodyne frequency translator which utilizes a single-polarization waveguide design and a specialized sawtooth drive circuit. Overall side-band suppression of 42 dB was achieved for frequency shifts up to 40 kHz. This i
