Text Analysis and Translation
TRNS6904
Translation requires more than accuracy at word and sentence level. To translate a whole text well requires consideration of its context and resulting features, such as style. Who wrote the text, for what intended readership, and with what purpose? How does the text's style relate to its purpose, the medium in which it circulates, and the conventions of its genre? This unit introduces students to questions and problems relating to discourse analysis, genre and style on the basis of actual English and LOTE texts.
