Fundamentals of
Translation
Clear and concise, this textbook provides a non-technical introduction to the basic and
central concepts of translation theory and practice, including translation briefs, parallel
texts and textual functions, cohesion and coherence, and old and new information.
Colina
focuses on the key concepts that beginning students of translation, practicing
translators, language students and language professionals need to understand about
translation practice. Numerous exercises (discussion, group and individual) at the end
of each chapter and Practice activities throughout each chapter allow students to
self-assess their practical understanding of chapter topics. In addition, examples, figures
and text extracts from a wide variety of world languages contextualize chapter material
and produce a lively and accessible narrative. Suitable for non-specialists with no prior
experience of translation, it will also be of interest to practicing translators, language
students and language industry professionals who wish to gain a wider and up-to-date
understanding of translation.
•
Bridges the gap between theory and practice, ensuring that students gain both a solid
grasp of the theoretical foundations of translation studies and the practical skills
needed to carry out translation work
•
Suggestions for further reading are provided for students who wish to engage more
deeply in theoretical topics
•
Reflects fully up-to-date views of language and translation and dispels common myths
•
Includes a full answer key to all chapter exercises
