Translation

Translation, Second Edition introduces the theory and practice of translation from a variety of linguistic and cultural angles and has been revised and updated to feature:

• A study of translation through the lens of key topics in linguistics such as semantics, functional linguistics, corpus and cognitive linguistics, discourse analysis, gender studies, and postcolonialism;
• A wide range of examples from other languages, including French, Spanish, German, Italian, Russian, and Arabic, with English back-translations to assist comprehension;
• Material from a variety of sources, genres, and text-types, such as advertisements, religious texts, reports for international organisations, video games, literary and technical texts;
• Influential readings from key names in the discipline, including Jean-Paul Vinay and Jean Darbelnet, Eugene Nida, Werner Koller, and Ernst-August Gutt, and contains new readings from Mona Baker, Michael Cronin, Kim Grego, Miguel A. Jiménez-Crespo, Kevin Gary Smith, Harald Martin Olk, Carmen Mangiron, and Minako O’Hagan.
