This title covers theoretical and practical translation where style
plays an important role and where the translator's options are not
always straightforward. "Jean Boase-Beier's Critical Introduction
To Translation Studies" demonstrates a keen understanding of
theoretical and practical translation. It looks to instances where
translation might not be straightforward, where stylistics play an
important role. Examples are discussed from works of literature,
advertisements, journalism and others, where effects on the reader
are central to the text, and are reflected in the style. It begins
by setting out some of the basic problems and issues that arise in
the study of translation, such as: the difference between literary
and non-literary translation; the role of language, content and
style; the question of universals and specifics in language and the
notion of context. The book then goes on to focus more closely on
style and how it enables us to characterise literary texts and
literary translation. The final part looks at the translation of
poetry. Throughout, it is conscious of the relationship between
theory and practice in translation. This book offers a new approach
to translation, grounded in stylistics, and it will be an
invaluable resource for undergraduates and postgraduates
approaching translation studies. "Continuum Critical Introductions
to Linguistics" are comprehensive introductions to core areas in
linguistics. The introductions are original and approach the
subject from unique and different perspectives. Using contemporary
examples and analogies, these books seek to explain complicated
issues in an accessible way. The books prompt critical thinking
about each core area, and are a radical departure from traditional,
staid introductions to the subject. Written by key academics in
each field who are not afraid to be controversial, each book will
be essential reading for undergraduate students.
