151466000 TRANSLATION THEORY ( 3 Crd.Hrs )

This course explores the idea of translation as process and product. After a review of translation theory from a historical perspective, it examines the various ways of thinking about "equivalence" in translation, including lexical and textual equivalence, and cultural and pragmatic equivalence. Students are encouraged to think critically about translation issues as they undertake translation tasks, so that they may develop their own views on translation.
