Tekst achterflap

This book introduces students to the theory and practice of
translation. It also examines issues that are often debated such
as the concept of meaning, translation as an art or science, fallacies
of translation, and translation rules and ethics. Chapters in
this book can be used to teach any course introducing students
to the field of translation. One of the distinguishing features is
that there is a set of questions found at the end of each chapter
that tests the student’s knowledge of the information covered. In
addition, some relevant texts are provided for students to translate
into the target language, something that is hardly ever found
in textbooks on translation. In addition, the book introduces legal
and scientific translation and offers real life examples that have
been carefully selected for classroom practice.
