Synopsis
Translation Studies presents an integrated concept based on the theory and practice of translation. The author adapts linguistic approaches and methods in such a way that they may be usefully employed in the theory, practice, and analysis of literary translation. The author develops a more cultural approach through text analysis and cross-cultural communication studies. The book is a contribution to the development of translation studies as a discipline in its own right.

Review
Snell-Hornby's translation strategies and concrete examples represent an invaluable contribution to translation pedagogy. (...) Especially valuable for foreign language pedagogues is her in-depth treatment ... of translation as a cross-cultural event. -- Maureen T. Krause, The Modern Language Journal 74 (1990)
Synopsis
This study aims to breach the gap between literary, general and special-anguage translation. It is primarily an attempt to present recently developed concepts and methods, both from translation theory and linguistics, in such a way that they could be usefully employed in the theory, practice and analysis of literary translation. Such concepts are the "prototype" (as opposed to the classical box-like category) and the "gestalt" (whereby translation is seen as a holistic process). Thus rigid dichotomies such as words versus sense, or "langue" versus "parole" can be resolved into prototypical concepts interacting in a constant dynamic tension. Not only prototype semantics but also scenes-and-frames semantics and the speech act theory can be applied to translation, as is illustrated on the basis of concrete examples. And finally it is shown that literary translation and special-language translation are not two mutualy exclusive categories, but can be compared and contrasted on the basis of what they have in common, such as the status of the source text, the function of the target text and the differing priorities of individual styles as against standardized convention.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
