AIMS AND DESCRIPTION
A survey of translation theories from their origins to the present. Emphasis will be put on contemporary theories: their role and function in translating, translation criticism and translator-training. As the main objective of this course is to assist students in discovering how theory relates to practice in the field of translation, an introduction to modern translation theories; discussions on language, philosophy, translation through cultural paradigms will be given.. Source-based and target-based theories of translation will be examined, using a variety of text categories. Reference to linguistics, equivalence, similarity, analogy, correspondance, matching, functionalism, syntax and pragmatics will be given. Critical engagement with theoretical concepts and the cosideration of their practical application to a variety of literary texts will be encouraged. The students will be expected to be able to develop a critical outlook on theories of translation and translation criticism; to acquire a deeper insight into the process and product of translation. Thus, they will become acquainted with the key elements of linguistic theory, as it relates to the activity of translation itself. The breadth and depth of students' methodological resources will be enhanced. An ample translation practice to improve their skills in interpreting linguistic and cross-cultural complexities in the source texts, and in reconstructing them in the target texts will be made.
