Phonological and Sociolinguistic Challenges of Translating Yorùbá Play, and Game Songs to Singable English for Children by Bolanle O. Sogunro

“…Consequently, the translations are “unperformable” as oral texts, thus, failing their aesthetic and functional purpose for children. To investigate the translation problems involved and proffer solutions, this essay analyses five randomly selected Yoruba songs and seven of their available English translations from online sources and an unpublished manuscript, using sociolinguistic translation theory and the analytical framework of Franzon’s song translation choices. …”
