Linguistic approach - By: , 23 Sep 2001
This textbook is based on the insights from current research in lexical studies, text linguistics & pragmatics to maintain a constant link between language, translation & the social & cultural environment. Easy to follow, despite the firm grounding in linguist theory, is starts at a simple level & grows in complexity, widening the focus. The author relates the theoretical concepts to authentic examples of translated texts in a variety of languages, which are alll simple to understand. Each chapter concludes with practical exercises; a combination that provides a sound alll round knowledge.
