Sample Solutions (Excerpt)

Question: Explain the role of word formation in translating technical terms from Hindi to English, using examples from -2.

Answer: Word formation in Hindi-English translation relies on affixation (prefix/suffix) and compounding. For instance, ‘’ (scientific) becomes ‘’ + ‘-’ ‘scientific’, while ‘’ (translation) directly borrows the English term. Compounding is evident in ‘ ’ (information technology) ‘IT’, where semantic transparency is preserved via acronyms.

• Q: How do I verify plagiarism? A: All answers are generated using IGNOU’s official eGyanKosh and academic databases (e.g., JSTOR for translation theory). Use Turnitin (IGNOU’s approved tool) for validation.
