o:2701 Alternatives in Translating Certain Grammatical Structures from English into Serbian en Philologia Mediana, br. 16, 2024, str. 571-594 This paper analyses several syntactic structures (English passive forms, non-finite clauses, clefts) in the EFL tertiary-level students’ translations from English to Serbian and the various translation alternatives.The selection of this topic was determined by the author’s long experience in teaching grammar and translation to the tertiary-level students of English at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Niš. This teaching experience has initiated a particular interest in the students’ linguistic performance when using certain structures that differ from the structures in their mother tongue by their form and function and register. The aforementioned structures were selected because they represent the point of contrast between the two languages since they are either used in different registers (passive), or differ in both form and function (non-finite clauses) or nonexistent in one language and used in almost all registers in the other one (clefts). contrastive analysis, passive, non-finite clauses, cleft clauses, English to Serbian translation kontrastivna analiza, pasiv, nefinitne klauze, rascepljene klauze, prevod sa engleskog na srpski jezik 1552099 10.46630/phm.16.2024.40 1552101 1821-3332 2024-10-30T09:49:29.351Z 44 yes 46 Ljiljana M.
