RE: [xmca] Translation doubt

["Peter Moxhay" <moxhap@portlandschools.org>]

Everyone,

Is the difficulty in the second sentence -- about whether education (or
vospitanie = "upbringing") _can_ or _cannot_ be defined as the
artificial development of the human young? Surely the Vygotskian point
of view is that it can.

I don't know Spanish or Portuguese, but it looks like the translators
may have misread the Russian же, implying emphasis, for не implying the
negative.

Just a guess...

Peter

A forth language:



18. Инструментальный
метод изучает ребенка не только развивающегося, но и воспитуемого, видя в
этом
существенное отличие истории человеческого детеныша. Воспитание же может
быть
опредлено как искусственное развитие ребенка. Воспитание есть искусственное
овладение естественными процессами развития. Воспитание не только влияет
на те
или иные процессы развития, но перестраивает самым существенным образом все
функции поведения. 


My personal impression I have send to you in Portuguese, Fernanda.

Best wishes.
Achilles.

important concepts, from an Applied Linguistics perspective. In order to
do so we have been reading his work and comparing different
translations: The Brazilian versions, Obras Escogidas and The Collected
Works. There was a passage in the text: The Instrumental Method in
Psychology (1930), which has a different (almost contradictory
translation) in the version in English in relation to the same passage
in Portuguese and Spanish. Could any speaker of Russian please check
that for us? The passage in the three languages is underlined below.

developing, but also as an educable being. lt sees in this the essential
distinguishing feature of the history of the human young. Education may
be defined as the artificial development of the child. Education is the
artificial mastery of natural processes of development. Education not
only influences certain processes of development, but structures all
functions of behavior in a most essential manner.
