Translating as a Purposeful Activity - Functionalist Approaches Explained (Hardcover, 2nd edition): Christiane Nord Translating as a Purposeful Activity - Functionalist Approaches Explained (Hardcover, 2nd edition)
Christiane Nord; Series edited by Theo Hermans
R4,126 Discovery Miles 41 260 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This bestselling text is a comprehensive overview of functionalist approaches to translation in English. Christiane Nord, one of the leading figures in translation studies, explains the complexities of theories and terms in simple language with numerous examples. Covering how the theories developed, illustrations of the main ideas, and specific applications to translator training, literary translation, interpreting and ethics, Translating as a Purposeful Activity concludes with a concise review of both criticisms and perspectives for the future. Now with a Foreword by Georges Bastin and a new chapter covering the recent developments and elaborations of the theory, this is an essential text for students of translation studies and for translator training.

Towards a General Theory of Translational Action - Skopos Theory Explained (Hardcover): Katharina Reiss, Hans J Vermeer Towards a General Theory of Translational Action - Skopos Theory Explained (Hardcover)
Katharina Reiss, Hans J Vermeer; Translated by Christiane Nord
R4,134 Discovery Miles 41 340 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This is the first English translation of the seminal book by Katharina Reiss and Hans Vermeer, Grundlegung einer allgemeinen Translationstheorie, first published in 1984. The first part of the book was written by Vermeer and explains the theoretical foundations and basic principles of skopos theory as a general theory of translation and interpreting or 'translational action', whereas the second part, penned by Katharina Reiss, seeks to integrate her text-typological approach, first presented in 1971, as a 'specific theory' that focuses on those cases in which the skopos requires equivalence of functions between the source and target texts. Almost 30 years after it first appeared, this key publication is now finally accessible to the next generations of translation scholars. In her translation, Christiane Nord attempts to put skopos theory and her own concept of 'function plus loyalty' to the test, by producing a comprehensible, acceptable text for a rather heterogeneous audience of English-speaking students and scholars all over the world, at the same time as acting as a loyal intermediary for the authors, to whom she feels deeply indebted as a former student and colleague.
