Translation and Language
Translation Studies and linguistics have been going through a love--hate relationship since the 1950s. With good humour and even-handedness, Fawcett describes detailed taxonomies of translation strategies and deals with traditional problems such as equivalence. This book assesses both sides of the relationship, tracing the very real contributions that linguists have made to translation studies and at the same time recognizing the limitations of many of their approaches.
Its broad coverage and accessible treatment provide essential background reading for students of translation at all Yet he also explains and assesses the more recent contributions of text linguistics, sociolinguistics, pragmatics and psycholinguistics.This work is exceptional in that it presents theories originally produced in Russian, German, French and Spanish as well as English.
