Sinopsis

Lost in Translation explores the pivotal role of language in international relations, cross-cultural communication, and global understanding. It delves into the fascinating world where linguistic mishaps and cultural misunderstandings can lead to humorous gaffes or even diplomatic disasters. One intriguing insight is how different languages can shape our thought processes, a concept known as linguistic relativity. The book also highlights how political and economic interests often influence the interpretation and dissemination of translated information.

 
The book approaches the subject through engaging case studies, divided into thematic chapters like "Diplomatic Disasters" and "Marketing Mishaps," illustrating real-world examples of mistranslations. Effective translation, it argues, requires more than just word conversion; it demands a deep understanding of cultural context and historical background.

 
The book progresses from core concepts of translation theory to specific examples, culminating in best practices for effective cross-cultural communication in our increasingly globalized world.

    Youth language data provides interesting perspectives on gender dynamics and gendered usage in society. However, the gender perspective has not received the deserved focus in youth language studies in Africa. This is partly due to the general perception that youth languages and classic youth language practices, such as slang and anti-language, are male-oriented. 
    
    This collected volume focuses on gender dynamics and gendered usage in African youth languages and youth language practices, against the backdrop of urbanity as well as rurality. With representations from different parts of Africa, the volume examines sundry youth usage in different contexts and domains. While avoiding strict binarizations and potentially flawed dichotomies, the contributing scholars observe some of the motivations for different gender performatives and how these manifest in a variety of language forms and through predominated categories of use. Data samples were obtained through sociolinguistic and anthropological instruments, ranging from questionnaires and structured interviews to street-based observations and corpus analyses. 
    
    On the whole, the volume engages the literature and debate on language, youth, and especially on gendering dynamics in African youth language practices.
