In Other Words has been the definitive coursebook for students
studying translation for nearly three decades. Assuming no
knowledge of foreign languages, it offers a practical guide based
on extensive research in areas as varied as lexis, grammar,
pragmatics, semiotics and ethics. It thus provides a solid basis
for training a new generation of well-informed, critical students
of translation. Drawing on linguistic theory and social semiotics,
the third edition of this best-selling text guides trainee
translators through the variety of decisions they will have to make
throughout their career. 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 and genres are examined, and
practical exercises and further reading are included at the end of
each chapter. The third edition has been fully revised to reflect
recent developments in the field and includes a new chapter that
engages with the interplay between verbal and visual elements in
genres as varied as children's literature, comics, film, poetry and
advertisements. This key text remains the essential coursebook for
any student of translation studies.
