equivalence approach, which focused mainly on the form and content relationship between source text and target text This study uses dynamic equivalence approach, which describes functional relationship in translation Dynamic equivalence is considered to be a more suitable approach for evaluating equivalence in film subtitle translation because of the specific characteristics of subtitle translating lu an Subtitle translators must ensure that the translated text can be read within the n va exact duration of the scene as well as ensure that the audience still has time to to tn watch the images while preserving the meaning and effect Descriptive ie gh translation study of translation universals and laws is used as a theoretical p framework applied to evaluate the dynamic equivalence in subtitle translation nl w The Vietnamese subtitles of Sherlock on Netflix were analyzed on the basis of a d oa theoretical framework derived from Baker's hypotheses on translation universals an lu and Toury’s translation laws va Research has shown that there are translation universals and laws in ll u nf Vietnamese subtitles, through which functional relationship between the original oi m and Vietnamese subtitles of Sherlock on Netflix are found Most of the z at nh translation universals is used to shorten or minimize the subtitles in order to meet the constraints of subtitle translation The parts that are omitted are mostly z repetitive words or can be understood through images on film This shortening @ gm hardly affects the content that the audience needs On the other hand, some m co l translation universals and laws are used to normalize grammar as well as explain cultural features that can be confusing to the audience However, this research an Lu also pointed out some of the audience’s experiences are sometimes lost due to ac th v n filmmaker to create humor or represent the character va circumstances such as repetition or lack of grammar is intended by the si CHAPTER INTRODUCTION 1.1 Rationale When more and more people watch movies not only to relax, but also to study foreign languages and cultures, subtitles translation has become a major problem Translation was considered language macro skill Netflix is an American leading streaming service that allows members to watch a wide variety of television shows, movies, documentaries, etc Netflix has over lu an hundred million international subscribers, making it one of the world's largest n va entertainment services The subtitles programs of Netflix are translated into tn to many languages in the world including Vietnamese Netflix-translated subtitles ie gh can be seen to have a major impact on the public and have played a large part in p transmitting foreign languages and cultures to Vietnamese Sherlock is a British television series based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes detective w oa nl stories Sherlock has been praised for the quality of its writing, acting, and d direction Recent film subtitling research studies in European countries have lu va an concentrated primarily on content aspects, from a European viewpoint and as a u nf representation of “a multi-talented challenge” (Gottlieb 2004) Scholars in the ll field of translation studies have founded the theoretical branches of Audio- m oi Visual Translation, the most important of which are Chaume (2004), Diaz- z at nh Cintas (2004), Gambier (2009) and Gottlieb (2001) Their respective studies z have formed the theoretical structure for subtitle translation and integrated @ gm successful translation strategies l There have also been a few studies on translation and equivalence in the m co translation of subtitles in Vietnam such as the study by Nguyễn Thị Thu Hà on an Lu subtitles for translating some selected films from the website kst.net.vn, the n va ac th si research by Lê Thị Nhung about the equivalence in translating English subtitles of some documentary films However, there are no research studies on translation and dynamic equivalence based on descriptive translation study in the translated subtitles by Netflix, an American service, as well as a famous TV series like Sherlock Therefore, I chose to a thesis on “EQUIVALENCE IN THE VIETNAMESE TRANSLATION OF SHERLOCK FROM NETFLIX” 1.2 Aim(s) of the Study The thesis goal is to examine the dynamic equivalence in the Vietnamese lu an subtitles of Sherlock series on Netflix To achieve the goal of this thesis, three n va main targets need to be implemented include finding out the existence of tn to translation universals and laws in translating subtitles of Sherlock on Netflix, gh investigating the behavior of translation universals in Vietnamese subtitles, p ie evaluating the relationship between English and Vietnamese subtitles of nl w Sherlock based on the descriptive translation study theory d oa 1.3 Research Questions lu va an This thesis is implemented to answer the following questions: - What are the translation universals and laws used in translating subtitles of ll u nf Sherlock on Netflix? m oi - What are the behaviors of translation universals in Vietnamese subtitles of z at nh Sherlock on Netflix? - What is the relationship between English and Vietnamese subtitles of z m co l gm @ Sherlock on Netflix? an Lu n va ac th si 1.4 Scope of the Study This thesis focuses on equivalence of original English transcript and Vietnamese subtitle version of Sherlock on Netflix Samples were taken from episodes throughout seasons of the series The research only focuses on dynamic equivalence, which is evaluated based on translation universal and law analysis of descriptive translation study Therefore only the most outstanding representative samples were selected for dynamic equivalence analysis 1.5 Significance of the Study lu an Theoretical significance: This thesis gives an overview of subtitle n va translation This thesis also strengthened the theory of descriptive translation to Practical significance: This thesis supports subtitle translators by giving the ie gh tn study and the theory of dynamic equivalence p translation universals and laws used for subtitle translation as well as providing nl w the behavior of translation universals, which draw the relationship, equivalent, d oa in translating movie subtitles This thesis also aims to arouse the interest of ll u nf 1.6 Research Methods va study in general an lu English translation students with subtitle translation in particular and translation oi m z at nh Qualitative methods were applied to implement this thesis The data obtained were evaluated on the basis of a theoretical framework derived from z Baker's hypotheses on translation universals and Toury’s translation laws @ gm Subtitle translation equivalence assessment would be explored by using dynamic m co l equivalence framework combining with descriptive translation study in subtiles One-by-one translation universals and laws will be discussed by looking at their an Lu behaviors in nine episodes of Sherlock Only the most striking instances of each n va ac th si to situations such as the filmmaker's desire to generate comedy or portray the character by repetition or lack of grammar 5.2 Concluding remarks Analysis has shown that there are translations universals and laws in the Vietnamese subtitles, which provide a functional relationship between the original and the Vietnamese subtitles of Sherlock on Netflix Six of seven translation universals discussed were present in Vietnamese Sherlock subtitles Most of the translation universals behaviors are generalize and simplify lu an subtitles in order to meet the requirements of the translation subtitles Marked or n va unusual language features tend to be replaced by less marked and more common tn to language features Since subtitles are subject to a space constraint, a large gh amount of source text must be deleted from the translation In Sherlock, the p ie subtitles in most of these translation universals has lower number of words than w the source text In the other hand, explicitation, which tend to add information oa nl to a translation, are used to describe specific cultural features or specific words d that might be misunderstand to the viewer Exaggeration of the target language lu va an features, translation universals that also tend to add information to a translation, u nf is not used in Sherlock The reason for this difference is probably that ll explicitation adds important information; information that explains the darkness m oi to a foreign audience Exaggeration of target language features, however, only z at nh adds information that does not have a vital role to play in the narrative Due to z space constraint, subtitles not have enough space to incorporate such @ information, and I therefore believe that translation universal exaggeration of gm l target language features will not be easily found in subtitles m co Translation universals have helped in elucidating the functional an Lu relationship between the original and translated text The majority of translation n va 65 ac th si universals and laws are used to simplify vocabulary, standardize grammar, and clarify cultural characteristics that may be perplexing to the target audience, while also attempting to keep the effects established in the original text To meet subtitle limits, two translation universals simplification and omission of repetition is used to shorten target text While it keeps the meanings that the target audience needs, it eliminates some of the side effects included in the original text The study also pointed out some of the experiences of viewers are lost due to situations such as repetition or lack of grammar which are intended by the filmmaker to generate humor or to portray the character However, it lu an remains unfortunate that the simplification of most translation universals n va weakens the character's personality by imposing a more general vocabulary tn to This would not pose too many problems in many movies and television series, ie gh because many characters not have a distinct vocabulary However, when p characters with unique speech patterns, such as Sherlock and Mycroft, emerge, nl w most translational universes weaken their personality by imposing a more d oa common vocabulary va an lu 5.3 Implications for English translation teaching and learning u nf Translation is one of the most important parts of learning foreign language ll Translation was considered language macro skill Translation is an effective m oi practical tool for every student from beginner to advanced Translation z at nh encourages misconceptions about how language really works Translation helps z learners tackle weaknesses in vocab, grammar and style Translation forces @ learners to understand the intention of the writer Translation also makes gm l learners more aware of the conventions of language and culture m co During the translation process, the translator must consider type of source an Lu text Is there any special requirements or constraints for this type? As a result, n va 66 ac th si reasonable translation methods and strategies are proposed This is a common error made by student They have not made a clear distinction between text types and their purposes As a result, the incorrect approach was chosen, making it difficult to meet translation goal This thesis is a typical example of film and subtitle translation for learners As metioned in the beginning of chapter two, specific requirements and constraints of movie and subtitle translation have been addressed Since then, suitable equivalent approach and analysis method have been chosen This thesis also strengthen translation functional equivalence especially lu an dynamic equivalence, while most translation students are familiar with form n va equivalence and meaning equivalence The standard theory of dynamic tn to equivalence advocates translating text functionally (text impact) rather than form ie gh or meaning only This theory encourages translators to focus on what is p important and to restructure form and meaning as needed to convey the impact nl w of text Such an emphasis is especially useful in difficult communication oa situations, because it is better to transmit at least a minimal idea (impact) of d source text than to produce form or meaning equivalent that does not work at all an lu When a teacher is training students who have a naive understanding of language, va u nf dynamic equivalence theory is especially important Their natural tendency is to ll translate mechanically, word for word, especially if they only have a shaky oi m grasp of one of the two languages with which they are working As a result, if z at nh students are not taught the fundamentals of translation, they will be unable to z so They must first comprehend texts before attempting to translate them When @ gm they open a dictionary, however, they are unaware that they should check all the m co l meanings of a word and choose the best one based on the context; instead, they simply use the first meaning given Furthermore, they must deal with the an Lu meaning of entire phrases, sentences, and paragraphs, rather than just isolated n va 67 ac th si words Each word in a sentence contributes to the meaning of the sentence Not just words in isolation, but the message, the meaning of the whole, must be translated It is also important to emphasize that students must be taught how to read a dictionary, including the phonetic alphabet, in order to learn the correct pronunciation They frequently undervalue the resources provided by a dictionary and only skim through it Because English is constantly changing, they are advised to use both bilingual and monolingual dictionaries, as well as check online dictionaries and investigate on the Internet, where they can verify the actual and current use of a word lu an Descriptive translation study is a supporting tool for learning translation It n va emphasizes the importance of the translator comprehending the original text as tn to deeply as possible Furthermore, the translator must feel the impact that the ie gh original text has, so cultural, background factors, and author's intention in p original text must all be considered Translation students need to understand the nl w concepts of intercultural and cross-cultural communication in order to oa effectively transfer the impact of the text Descriptive Translation Studies has d inspired some teaching methods as it give lots of translational factors, such as an lu laws, universals, norms This helps teachers and learners focuses on the va u nf experiences of recipients with the target text compared to the source text by ll taking into account the translator's choices under these factors Then learners can oi m choose their own translation methods based on these translation factors in order z at nh to achieve the same experiences in translated texts z gm @ 5.4 Limitations and suggestions for further studies l Despite considerable effort, certain limitations of this study cannot be m co avoided due to time, knowledge, reference material limitations In addition, due an Lu n va 68 ac th si to the limited sources of examples used as data for the analysis, some sections of the study have not, as they should, achieved satisfactory depth Firstly, the dynamic equivalence is examined on one television series only, which is Sherlock on Netflix, in this thesis Secondly, the knowledge of the researcher makes it difficult to provide sufficiently and to focus intensively on other kinds of film or television programs Although the study offered some interesting results, it is limited The findings of this study are only reasonably fair due to the small number of cases taken for analysis in the Vietnamese subtitles of Sherlock on Netflix I hope that more instances will be reviewed for lu an standard findings in future studies The research could serve as a basis for n va studies on the dynamic equivalence of film and television programs tn to Despite my great efforts in this study to figure out the best outcome, due to ie gh the constraint of time and knowledge of the author, errors and limitations are p inevitable Therefore, all your comments, suggestions or corrections for my nl w better work would be greatly appreciated oa This thesis has focused only on studying the translation universals and laws d in Vietnamese subtitles of Sherlock on Netflix Therefore, there are still some an lu aspects related to this problem left for further studies such as translation norms, va ll u nf pragmatic equivalence, denotative and connotative equivalence oi m z at nh z m co l gm @ an Lu n va 69 ac th si REFERENCES Baker, M (1993) “Corpus Linguistics and Translation Studies Implications and Applications.” Text and Technology: In honour of John Sinclair Ed M Baker, G Francis and E Tognini- Bonelli John Benjamins Publishing Co.: Amsterdam 233-252 Baker, M (2001), Brano Hochel “Dubbing.” Routledge Encyclopedia of Translation Studies Ed Mona Baker Routledge: London 74-76 lu an Catford J.C (1976) A linguistic Theory of Translation Oxford: OUP va n Chaume, F (2004) "Film Studies and Translation Studies: Two to tn Disciplines at Stake in Audiovisual Translation."
