Thank you for participating in the workshop Pathways in Translation Studies. Since your presentations are to be published in the next issue of AUC Philologica, Translatologica Pragnesia, we would like to ask you to submit your manuscripts following the guidelines below.

 

1. General Information

• The ideal length of the article is 18,000 characters (18 standardized pages written according to these guidelines).
• The working languages are Czech, Slovak and English.
• Each text should be submitted along with an abstract in English and keywords. The maximum word limit for the abstract is 360 words.

2. Manuscript Format Guidelines

• Do not use the AutoFormat feature. Paragraph styles should not be used either.
• To start a new paragraph, use the enter key. Neither the tab key nor multiple spaces should be used to do so.
• Use Times New Roman font, 12 pt., 1.5 line spacing.
• Do not use the tab key or the space bar to indent the first line of a paragraph.
• Use automatic footnotes. Make sure you do not insert any of the footnotes manually (using a superscript).

• Place bibliography at the end of your paper. Footnotes should be used to reference or cite all the sources and literature used.
• Indicate emphasis with italics.
• The titles of literary works and journals should be written in italics. Quotation marks should be used within the body to indicate the titles of articles, poems etc.
• Round brackets and square brackets should be used in the following way: (text [text] text).

 

 

3. Citing Standards

The so-called Harvard system should be used. Make sure that you place bibliography at the end of the text.

Example of in-text citation

For Vermeer (2000: 224) the Skopos is (a) the goal of the process, (b) the function of the translation and (c) the intention of the translation mode. He (2000: 229) defines commission as “the instruction, given by oneself or by someone else, to carry out a given action”.

 

Saldanha defines the translator’s style as “involving a consistent pattern of choices that distinguishes the work of one translator from that of others” (Saldanha 2005: 1).

 

Talking about “stereotype solutions” in prose fiction and poetry, Levý draws a comparison to “stereotype solutions”, i.e. tried and tested patterns of any type in the history of theatrical performance (Levý 2012: 71f.; Levý 1969: 62).
