Intellectual Books

English to Arabic Art/Literary Linguistics Language Mediation register
In introductions, projecting a serious tone of voice (register) may be needed in some touchy debates. Authors usually lean over factual references either by indicating a Year .e.i. 1918 or by nominating a well-known name like Samuel H. to furnish a solid basis for a certain thesis they cite for more acceptability and reliability among readers.


From translational perspective, how far can such references help in promoting a context of situation rhetorically?

Ahmed Elimam (asker) Oct 25, 2007:
This is written by me and extracted from my MA thesis. In the devotion of the linguistic function, Beaugrande, R. and Dressler W. (1981:16) write that:
Linguistics has been employed as a tool for discovering and describing style…despite the diversity of approaches; nearly all work reflects the conviction that style results from the characteristic selection of options for producing a text or set of texts.
Searle (1979: viii) holds that there are five ways in using language and tell how things are: assertives, directives, commissives, expressive, and declarations. For this to be understood, the translator may have to decide the meaning. In order to go round this, the translator has to analyse the mood of the structure. Let alone the literal sentence meaning and how this interacts with the writer’s utterance meaning. Searle (ibid:ix) says, “In the special case of indirect speech acts, the speaker means what he says but he also means something more”. Therefore, Searle adds, “Reference has been regarded as the central problem in philosophy of language”. Being with meaning, translators seek an effective transfer of meaning. For some authors, meaning generally reflects wit, sense, and eloquence. Hazlitt, in an article in ‘A Book of English Essays’ (1977:155), explains that “It is not to take the first word that offers, but the best word in common use; it is not to throw words together in any combinations we please, but to follow and avail ourselves of the true idiom of the language”. In order to accomplish this, clarity means understanding; this is what Nida requires for the process of translating from the source text to the target text to be accomplished. He (2001:3) declares, “translators do not translate languages but texts”.
To me, I am looking for other subsidiaries which I hope I can reach and provide in here.
Saleh Dardeer Oct 21, 2007:

Best Regards

Heard any good books lately?
Finding great audiobooks for your iPod
By Matt Vance

The summer road trip season is upon us. Whether you are on your way to Burning Man or Bonnaroo, you might be in for hours trapped behind the wheel. Wouldn’t it be nice to instead wile away those hours in another time and place entirely? With a car adapter for your iPod, a good audio book can be just the ticket to mentally take you away.

Audio books can do the same for your workout, taking your mind off the task at hand and helping you forget the drudgery. They can help you keep up with the latest business topics or best sellers, or even bone up on the classics. Plus, they are a great way to make the most of time spent commuting.

Buying and Renting
Audio books in downloadable format are a dream come true for both online retailers and consumers. The premier source of audio books online, Audible.com, has been experiencing fantastic growth˜no doubt due in part to Audible’s partnership with Apple’s equally successful iTunes Music Store. For information on using iTunes and Audible.com together, see our article How to: Audible.com.

In many ways, Audible is also a boon for audio book listeners. The site allows users to download, stream, and even burn CDs from a huge catalog of books and other spoken word programs. Audio books have essentially become available “on demand.”

Since most audio books are recorded in mono and don’t require the fidelity of music, you can fit more into much less storage space than an equivalent amount of music. For instance, using Audible’s highly compressed Format 2 file type, a 512MB iPod Shuffle can hold up to 135 hours of Audible content.

Audible may not be a panacea though. Unlike most CDs, Audible uses a Digital Rights Management (DRM) scheme which limits what can be done with a particular book. For instance, titles are limited in the number of times they can be burned to CD. In addition, Audible’s proprietary audio formats are not playable on all portable players.

Audible’s catalog is admittedly huge, but it is not completely comprehensive. A notable absence is the popular Harry Potter series. Listeners who hope to hear about Harry, Ron, and Hermione on their iPod are forced to get their MP3s or AACs the old fashioned way, by ripping the CDs. It is up to you to decide if ripping all 23 compact discs of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is worth the effort.

Since iTunes is optimized for music, there are some tricks to getting audio books imported and making them bookmarkable. Fortunately, blogger Michael A. Alderete has written a very thorough guide to importing audio book CDs into iTunes.

If you are willing to spend a little extra time ripping CDs or wait a few days for your books to arrive in the mail, a wide variety of other audio book sources open up to you. Audio books can be found on publishers’ websites, on eBay, and even your local library.

Publishers of audio books, such as Blackstone Audiobooks, Recorded Books, and the anachronistically named Booksontape.com, all offer a large collection of titles on their websites. While the majority of the titles on the publishers’ sites are also available via Audible.com, there are some exceptions. If nothing else, publishers’ sites can be worth checking, especially if you are having trouble tracking down a particular title.

Blackstone also sells MP3 versions of many of its titles, which will save you from having to rip CDs; however, keep in mind that iPods do not support bookmarking of MP3s. In order to bookmark such an audio book, start by converting the MP3s to AACs using iTunes. Mac users can then run the Mark Bookmarkable Applescript, which changes the AAC files to the bookmarkable M4B format. Windows users can change the filenames manually or opt for a shareware tool called MarkAble, which streamlines the entire conversion process.

Several audio book rental sites have also sprung up. Most sites, such as Simply Audiobooks, Audio-To-Go, and Booksfree.com, have adopted a subscription system, similar to the online movie rental site Netflix. Subscribers pay a monthly fee and are allowed to keep out a set number of CDshttp://playlistmag.com/features/2005/06/heardbooks/index.php or titles at a time.

Such factual references can help for sure.
