Abstract

This article examines the importance of pragmatic equivalence in translating humor, a crucial yet often challenging aspect due to humor’s deep reliance on cultural context, implicature, and audience interpretation. Pragmatic equivalence emphasizes the conveyance of implicit meaning through communication principles such as those proposed by Grice, where coherence takes precedence over mere lexical and grammatical cohesion. In humor translation, coherence refers to the interconnectedness of meaning based on shared context and knowledge between the author and the audience, rather than simply the structure of sentences. However, humor is inherently ambiguous and open to multiple interpretations, making its meaning not always directly transferable. A single mistranslated element can alter the entire comedic effect, as humor is often highly culture-specific. In this case, the translator’s role extends beyond language transfer to bridging the knowledge gap that the target audience might have, sometimes at the cost of the humor’s spontaneity. This challenge creates a dilemma between preserving natural comedic effect and delivering accurate meaning. As a result, humor translation often leans toward either overly literal or overly liberal approaches, each with the risk of losing essential nuance. Therefore, pragmatic equivalence involves more than just finding corresponding meanings; it also requires sensitivity to the social and cultural contexts that shape audience responses. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on the unique complexity of humor translation, making it a valuable contribution to the fields of literary studies, linguistics, and translation studies.

Abstract

This study examines the role of chunking in enhancing interpreting performance through a library-based research approach. Chunking, defined as the cognitive process of grouping linguistic input into meaningful units, has been widely discussed in psycholinguistics and translation studies as a key strategy for managing working memory limitations. By reviewing existing literature on interpreting theory, cognitive processing, and language comprehension, this research highlights how chunking facilitates more efficient information processing during interpreting tasks. The findings suggest that chunking enables interpreters to segment continuous speech into manageable units, thereby improving accuracy, fluency, and retention. It is also allowing them to anticipate meaning and reduce cognitive overload. This paper synthesizes insights from books, journal articles, and previous empirical studies to demonstrate that chunking is not only a fundamental cognitive mechanism but also a trainable skill in interpreter education. In conclusion, the research underscores the importance of incorporating chunking strategies into interpreting training programs to enhance overall performance and comprehension.
