A comparison of five Australian short stories and their translation texts in Vietnamese has revealed one of the features, a mismatch in the word classes: several nouns in English are shifted to verbs in Vietnamese. To answer the question whether verbs sound more natural than nouns in Vietnamese, the present study measured recipients” responses to the naturalness of sentences containing verbs in the translation texts, which had been translated from nouns in the original texts. The study, following Bachman”s (1990) framework, employed the method of Multiple-choice Discourse Completion Tasks (MDCT). The results of the study, conducted on 370 native speakers of Vietnamese, confirm previous findings on Vietnamese communicative preferences, that are linguistically manifest (Trần Ngọc Thêm, 1998). The implications of this can be useful for teaching English, in general, and teaching translation, in particular, to Vietnamese students. 2017-09-11T03:24:12Z 2017-09-11T03:24:12Z 2016 Article 2525-2445 http://repository.vnu.edu.vn/handle/VNU_123/58882 en Vol 32;No 2 application/pdf H. : ĐHQGHN |
