Translation of Neologisms: a Case of Radio Broadcasts Peter Otieno Resa

This book is about evaluation of Translation of Lexis in Dholuo Radio Broadcasts in East Africa with specific reference to an assessment of Neologisms and Technical Terminologies as they are translated by Kenya's Dholuo Radio Presenters. Neologisms and technical lexis are words, which were not initially part of Dholuo lexicon; however, they have come into use as a result of technological advancements, scientific inventions and socioeconomic interactions. The work evaluates some of the neologisms and technical lexis likely to be mistranslated or misrepresented. It assesses mistranslation, misrepresentation and meaning-loss in the process of translation of these lexical items. It also appraises effective communication of radio presenters in interpretation and translation of Neologisms.
