Comparative analysis of English and Persian translation of headlines based on semantic and syntactic features

Abstract

Many EFL students find that newspaper headlines are especially difficult to understand. This is because, headlines have distinctive syntactic properties, which make them a grammatical oddity.

The aim of this study is to identify the lexical and syntactic interferences which students make in translating newspaper headlines. In other words the purpose of this study are to find out the semantic and syntax features of headlines, to distinguish the similarities and differences between English and Persian headlines in relation to their semantic and syntax features, and to shed light on some problems which students face in translating headlines. For this purpose, 30 male and female graduate students of English at the Zand Institute of Higher Education, were asked to take part in the present research. They were given a test which included fifteen Persian and fifteen English headlines and were asked to translate them. All the students’ translations were analyzed in order to investigate possible cross linguistic problems in translating headlines. In order to analyze the student’s translation of headlines, the linguistic taxonomy of errors provided by Keshavarz (1993) was taken into consideration. According to the analysis of English and Persian headlines it was concluded that there were similarities in the use of verbs, active form of sentences, abbreviations, and indicative sentences and there were differences in the use of tense, types of headlines, and omission of words. The results of this analysis showed that students had difficulties in grammar and vocabularies. It was found that students had little knowledge about English headlining rules. The analysis of English to Persian translation of headlines showed that students’ had difficulties’ in translation of tense, interrogative sentences, headlines in which pronouns and conjunctions were omitted, and also, in translation of words, proper nouns, and abbreviations.
