In Other Words by Mona Baker
This bestselling Coursebook addresses the need for a systematic approach to training in translation studies by drawing on key areas in modern linguistic theory and relating them systematically to a number of translation problems and strategies. The strategies are identified by an examination of authentic examples of translated texts in a variety of languages. No knowledge of linguistics or foreign languages is assumed. Each chapter begins with an explanation of the key linguistic concepts referred to and ends with a series of practical exercises. By striking a balance between theory and practice, the book provides a sound basis for training professional translators.Mona Baker is a professor emerita of translation studies at the University of Manchester and the director of Jiao Tong University's Baker Centre for Translation and Intercultural Studies. She is the author of the award-winning Translating Dissent: Voices from and with the Egyptian Revolution and the editor of Translation and Conflict: A Narrative Account.
