Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This bestselling Coursebookaddresses the need for a systematic approach to training in translation studies by drawing on key areas in modern linguistic theory and relating them systematically to a number of translation problems and strategies. The strategies are identified by an examination of authentic examples of translated texts in a variety of languages. No knowledge of linguistics or foreign languages is assumed. Each chapter begins with an explanation of the key linguistic concepts referred to and ends with a series of practical exercises. By striking a balance between theory and practice, the book provides a sound basis for training professional translators.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 288-295) and indexes.
Introduction -- Equivalence at word level -- Equivalence above word level -- Grammatical equivalence -- Textual equivalence: thematic and information structures -- Textual equivalence: cohesion -- Pragmatic equivalence.
