In Other Words is the definitive coursebook for anyone studying
translation. Assuming no knowledge of foreign languages, it offers
both a practical and theoretical guide to translation studies, and
provides an important foundation for training professional
translators. Drawing on modern linguistic theory, this best-selling
text provides a solid base to inform and guide the many key
decisions trainee translators have to make. Each chapter offers an
explanation of key concepts, identifies potential sources of
translation difficulties related to those concepts, and illustrates
various strategies for resolving these difficulties. Authentic
examples of translated texts from a wide variety of languages are
examined, and practical exercises and further reading are included
at the end of each chapter. The second edition has been fully
revised to reflect recent developments in the field and new
features include: A new chapter that addresses issues of ethics and
ideology, in response to increased pressures on translators and
interpreters to demonstrate accountability and awareness of the
social impact of their decisions. Examples and exercises from new
genres such as audiovisual translation, scientific translation,
oral interpreting, website translation, and news/media translation.
