A very long list of linguistics movies, documentaries, and TV show episodes

Looking for linguistics and language-related films to watch? Mary Ann Walter, a linguist who runs a linguistics film series at Middle East Technical University, Northern Cyprus, has kindly forwarded her very extensive list of linguistically-relevant movies, documentaries, and episodes of TV shows, and given me permission to post it.

I have only watched some of these movies and have only very lightly edited Mary Ann’s notes, so I cannot vouch for all of them, but I hope this list is helpful to people! If you know of any linguistically-relevant films that we’ve somehow missed, do add them in the comments. Asterisks indicate ones that are available on youtube.

Sci-fi/speculative

Arrival, 2016

Star Trek Darmok episode, 1991.

Pontypool. 2008. Horror. In a Canadian town, the English language somehow gets infected and makes them zombies.

The Falls. 1980. Mock documentary about something which killed many and left others with strange symptoms, including suddenly speaking new languages.

*Het Dak van de Walvis (On Top of the Whale) 1982 Raoul Ruiz. Parody of much of western academia. A group of field linguists set out to study an exotic language which consists only of one single word, which therefore means everything. Very strange, not a crowdpleaser.

Being John Malkovich. Also features a single word language.

I have been thinking about the primary reason why it might be hard for translation clients to hire a translator or order translation from someone, let it be an independent translator or a translation agency. I tried to put myself in the shoes of my clients and understood that lack (or absence) of knowledge of the target language can be one of the reasons that prevent prospects from buying our services. The clients may feel uncomfortable and hesitate about the quality of the 'product' as they cannot identify if it is good or not. Therefore I prepared this post to help translation clients feel more confident when hiring a translator.

I have a lot of friends who work on a freelance basis both in the translation market and in other industries, for instance, web design, programming, SMM. However, many of them are not registered at all or choose simplified taxation regimes.

In November 2015, two years after I shifted back to freelancing, I decided to treat my freelance business as serious as I could. Since that time I learned much about marketing, business development, promotion, and cooperation, contacting and establishing connections with new clients.

Now that I have an official state registration certificate, settlement account, and business stamp it is much easier to cooperate with direct clients.

Let’s see why it is important to register your freelance translation business

Сегодня люди со всего мира могут легко связаться с международными компаниями, которые заинтересованы в новых работниках. В этом случае представители иностранной фирмы просят прислать резюме на английском языке или СV (да, между ними есть разница, и мы рассмотрим ее ниже). Информация в этих документах – первое, что узнает о вас будущий работодатель. Именно поэтому очень важно подойти к переводу резюме серьезно, а лучше заказать перевод резюме у профессионального переводчика. [url="http://translator.kg/resume-translation/"]В этой статье[/url] я расскажу об особенностях перевода резюме на английский язык, чем английское резюме отличается от русского варианта, а также в чем разница между resume и CV.

Одной из неотъемлемых составляющих дипломной работы, которую необходимо подготовить уже после того, как текст работы написан, является аннотация. В большинстве вузов Кыргызстана и стран СНГ одним из обязательных требований является перевод аннотации к дипломной работе на английский язык (или автореферата к диссертации в случае магистратуры). TRANSLATOR.KG в преддверии защиты дипломных работ предлагает актуальную для студентов услугу – перевод аннотации к дипломной работе на английский язык.

If you’re looking for professional translation services, before contacting translation companies or independent translators you might want to run a short online survey and find out how to calculate translation costs.

Requesting the rates from independent translators or translation agencies, in the majority of cases, you will receive per word (US and Europe) or per page rate (Russia and CIS). But how to find the amount of words or pages in your document?
