ELCB202 Увод в превода

Анотация:

The course will examine the existing theories of translation and current practice in translation theory,

as well as provide students with opportunities to engage in the practice of translation between Bulgarian and English. Translation will be explored as both a craft and an art with its own standards and obligations. A historical review of the evolution of translation theory from the classical to the twentieth century will be provided, although the main focus will lie on contemporary, linguistic-based approaches.

Theoretical investigations will consider translation as a "sociolinguistic" activity: i.e., as an act of mediated communication with responsibilities toward the linguistic codes involved and toward the "cultures" of the sources and recipients of those codes. They will also explore the differences between "literal" and "free" translation with an aim to understanding where and why one mode may

be more suitable than the other.

The course will give students an opportunity to present research findings in a clear and coherent manner and according to well-defined academic criteria
