Parallel text of four languages; English, French, Spanish and German. There are four columns with a language in each. The paragraphs are neatly alligned which means that even referring from column 1. (English) to column 4. (German) is quite intuitive. I have also started to put the texts of this novel one under the other on a line by line basis (even clause by clause where it has been possible) What you get are groups of four lines of text the first line of these groups being English, the second French, third Spanish, and fourth German. The short story can be read like this (being more apt for beginners) if you are struggling with the texts in columns. Out of interest, the syntax of the English, Spanish and German versions matched really well (even with the German verb at the end thing). It was the French version which caused me all the head-scratching. It is well written but does go off on a folly sometimes par rapport aux autres textes. NOTE; TEXT ALIGNMENT COMPLETE BUT ANNOTATIONS ARE IN PROGRESS. |
