Abstract
The aim of this thesis was to test whether the amount of self-corrections would influence the quality of the translated text. Study was conducted on nine students of translation studies who translated texts of intermediate difficulty in keylogging software Translog II from English into Croatian. After self-corrections were categorised and counted, it was found that the most frequent types of self-corrections were word substitution and spelling, which are thought to be the result of student’s over-editing and insecurity. Translations were evaluated using TAUS DQF model, after which evaluation scores were related to the number of self-corrections. Using Pearson test of correlation, it was found that there was no correlation with regards to the amount of self-corrections and evaluation score, which may be due to the small and diverse group of students who may differ greatly in translation experience. The result could also point to many students not being acquainted with normative rules of Croatian language. Time and number of self-corrections were found to be correlated, and evaluation score and amount of time were approaching significance, but were not correlated. This kind of translation process research may help in developing computer-assisted translating tools and help in understanding translator’s mind. It is suggested that future studies include a greater number of participants and test amount of self-corrections and translation quality in professional translators.
Abstract (croatian)
Cilj ovog rada bio je istražiti utječe li količina samoispravaka na kvalitetu prevedenog teksta. Istraživanje se provelo na devet studenata prevoditeljskih studija koji su prevodili tekstove napredne težine s engleskog na hrvatski jezik u keylogging softweru Translog II. Nakon što su se samoispravci pobrojali i kategorizirali, utvrđeno je kako su najčešće vrste samoispravaka bile supstitucija i ispravci pravopisa. Prijevodi su se ocijenili prema TAUS DQF modelu, nakon čega su se ocjene prijevoda dovele u vezu s količinom samoispravaka. Koristeći Pearson test korelacije, utvrđeno je kako ne postoji korelacija između broja ispravaka i ocjene prijevoda. Razlog tome možda leži u činjenici da je u pitanju bila mala skupina studenata koja se možda međusobno uvelike razlikuje u prevoditeljskom iskustvu. Ovaj rezultat također možda upućuje na veliki broj studenata koji nisu upoznati sa normativnim pravilima hrvatskog jezika. Vrijeme i količina samoispravaka nisu bili u korelaciji, a ocjene i vrijeme, iako nisu bili u korelaciji, naginjali su prema njoj. Ovakva vrsta istraživanja procesa prevođenja može pozitivno utjecati na razvoj alata za prevođenje te može pomoći u razumijevanju prevoditeljskog uma. Preporučuje se da buduća istraživanja uključe veći broj ispitanika te ispitaju količinu samoispravaka i kvalitetu prijevoda kod iskusnih prevoditelja.
