Book Description

0863561551 978-0863561559 February 1, 2001
This translation guide is based on sound theoretical and pedagogical principles. Unlike other translation manuals available, it transcends crude dichotomies of "literal" vs. "free" translation, "specialized" vs. "general," "communicative" vs. "semantic," etc. and concentrates instead on developing in the student a sensitivity to text-types and a deeper understanding of the demand. which a given text-type makes on the translator. In addition, the student who closely follows this Guide will acquire the analytical tools necessary to make meaningful comments about translation and translations. A glossary of text-linguistic and translation terms Is provided together with a select bibliography.

1.0 out of 5 stars English-Arabic/Arabic English Transtation: A Practical Guide, December 9, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: English-Arabic/Arabic-English Translation: A Practical Guide (Paperback)
I wanted a book that I could use to translate Arabic Words, Not Script, to English words. This book is not what I need.
So I have been trying to get the seller to contact me about returning it, but they are not responding to my request.
