Synopsis

Peter Newmark's fifth book on translation continues his series of articles in The Linguist. He is as much concerned with the minutiae of translation ― capitalisation, square brackets, dashes ― as with its perennial major issues: truth, beauty, morality, logic, language convergence, linguistic differences and culture. New occupations and technologies throw up a corresponding new number of translation topics and, again, a large number of translation examples in a number of languages match these topics.
