Aistriúchán Téacsanna 1

Is é Aidhm an mhodúil seo mic léinn a chumasú sna scileanna feidhmeacha a bhaineann le haistriúchán téacsanna ó Bhéarla go Gaeilge, mar aon le léargas ginearálta a thabhairt dóibh ar ghnéithe de ghramadach agus de chomhréir na Gaeilge. Díreofar ar chineálacha faoi leith téacsanna (seachas téacsanna liteartha) a bhíonn á n-aistriú ag aistritheoirí gairmiúla agus cíorfar na háiseanna atá ar fáil d’Aistritheoirí le cabhrú leo agus iad i mbun oibre. Déanfar anailís ar straitéisí an aistriúcháin agus ar na bealaí chun déileáil le dúshláin ar leith a thagann chun cinn. Ar na téamaí is mó a phléifear sa mhodúl seo, tá na dúshláin a bhaineann le buntéacsanna ó thaobh brí agus céille de, coibhéis shásúil sa spriocthéacs, agus na dúshláin a bhaineann leis an nGaeilge mar prioctheanga aistriúcháin.

An Anailís Sochtheangeolaíochta I

Sa mhodúl seo, déanfar plé ar stair agus ar fhorás na sochtheangeolaíochta mar réimse léinn. Ó tharla gur mian le haos léinn na sochtheangeolaíochta staidéar a dhéanamh ar an spás idir an teanga agus an tsochaí, pléifear na hiarmhairtí a bhaineann le cúpla pobal teanga a bheith buailte ar a chéile. Mar sin, cíorfar an bunús teoiriciúil a bhaineann le feidhmiú an dátheangachais, an ilteangachais agus na débhéascna i gcineálacha éagsúla pobail chomh maith leis an toradh a bhíonn ar an teagmháil teangacha (Ní Neachtain 2019; Ní Laoire, 2019). Tá sé d’aidhm ag an modúl seo staidéar a dhéanamh ar an teoiric agus ar na príomhchoincheapa a bhaineann leis an tsochtheangeolaíocht mar réimse léinn. Cíorfar na teoiricí sin i gcomhthéacs na Gaeilge agus na Gaeltachta in Éirinn sa lá atá inniu ann.

An Anailís Sochtheangeolaíochta II

Sa mhodúl seo, déanfar plé agus anailís ar phróiseas an aistrithe teanga agus ar na comharthaí sóirt a bhaineann leis. Pléifear an tionchar a bhíonn ag an Aistriú teanga ní hamháin ar an bpobal urlabhra, ach ar an gcineál teanga a labhraítear chomh maith céanna. Músclaíonn sé seo ceisteanna idé-eolaíochta a bhaineann le dlisteanas agus barántúlacht teanga (Woolard, 2016). Déanfar plé, mar sin, ar an measúnú a dhéanann an pobal urlabhra ar leaganacha nua cainte a thagann chun cinn ina measc mar thoradh ar phróiseas an Aistrithe teanga (Ó Murchadha, 2019). Cuirfear oiliúint ar an mac léinn cén chaoi le hanailís dioscúrsa a dhéanamh, ar thras-scríbhinní agallaimh, mar shampla, chun go bhféadfaí léargas a fháil ar an idé-eolaíocht atá ag cainteoir i leith na héagsúlachta teanga. Ina theannta sin, déanfar plé ar phróiseas an chothaithe teanga trí bhéim a leagan ar nuachAinteoirí na Gaeilge (Walsh agus O’Rourke, 2015). Beidh ceist na hidé-eolaíochta i lár an aonAigh sa chás seo chomh maith ó tharla an iliomad tuAirimí a bheith i réim maidir le cén cineál urlabhra a mbaineann gradam léi nó a mhalairt.
