We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thanks those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

I am doing a detailed study of the differences between Dutch and
Flemish.  Very little seems to be available.

I have printed Linguist List 7.1316, and I have found one other brief
list of differences.  I have a CD Rom called '101 Languages', by
Transparent Co, which does separate Dutch and Flemish dialogs. The
latter is perhaps the most useful.

But I want more lists of differences, especially a Dutch - Flemish
'dictionary', akin to the type of British English to US English lists
available. They *must* exist, either online or offline.

I am also at   mmhthomas at talk21.com   as well as at this address.

Subject:   self translation and script translation

Hi!

I'm a translation student from Italy and I'm writing my PHD on my
translation of a short movie script I wrote.  I've done some research
on the topic self- translation and I've only found something about
Nabokov's translation of Lolita, Beckett's variuos
self-translation... but nothing GENERAL about the topic.  This is what
I'm looking for: articles about the theory of self- translation,
differences with "normal" translation, intentionality in translating
one's own work, this sort of thing.  I'm also trying to show that
transalting a non-filmed script is quite like translating for the
theatre (except for obvious setting differences).

Thanks to anyone who can give me advice on the topic.
Chiara
