Objetivos

•To introduce students to the multiple theoretical and practical aspects of the translation profession;
•To introduce students to translation as process and product;
•To make students aware of the differences between translation/translators and interpreting/ interpreters, as well as of the other possible tasks expected of a professional translator / language services provider;
•To familiarize students with the interdisciplinary field of Translation Studies by analysing major linguistic, functional, communicative and cultural approaches to translation.
•To provide students with a metalanguage that will allow them to reflect on their translations and describe their own work as translators in a more efficient and articulate manner.

Programa

This is an introductory course which will gradually move from the practical aspects of translation and the translation profession (based on Robinson, 1997) to the more theoretical approaches to translation, their relevance to professional practice and the recently established interdisciplinary subject of Translation Studies (based on Munday, 2001).
