In Other Words
This book addresses the need for a systematic approach to the training of
translators and provides an explicit syllabus which reflects some of the main
intricacies involved in rendering a text from one language into another. It
explores the relevance of some of the key areas of modern linguistic theory
and illustrates how an understanding of these key areas can guide and inform
at least some of the decisions that translators have to make. It draws on
insights from current research in such areas as lexical studies, text linguistics
and pragmatics to maintain a constant link between language, translation,
and the social and cultural environment in which both language and
translation operate.
In Other Words
examines various areas of language, ranging from the
meaning of single words and expressions to grammatical categories and
cultural contexts. Firmly grounded in modern linguistic theory, the book
starts at a simple level and grows in complexity by widening its focus
gradually. The author explains with clarity and precision the concepts and
theoretical positions explored within each chapter and relates these to
authentic examples of translated texts in a variety of languages, although a
knowledge of English is all that is required to understand the examples
presented. Each chapter ends with a series of practical exercises which provide
the translator with an opportunity to test the relevance of the issues discussed.
This combination of theoretical discussion and practical application provides
a sound basis for the study of translation as a professional activity.
