Product Description

Review

'The third edition is written in exceptionally clear and user-friendly style with not only a new chapter dedicated to Research and Commentary Project but also a lucid account of classic topics such as faithfulness and equivalence. To reflect the nature of the link between translation theories and practice, Jeremy Munday has added case studies in each chapter to offer practical examples of how theories can be applied in the real world. The discussion and research points at the end of each topic will be welcomed by students, teachers and researchers alike... Readers who may have no previous knowledge of translation studies may also find the book interesting and illuminating.' – Susan Xu Yun, SIM University, Singapore

--This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Product Description

This introductory textbook provides an accessible overview of the key contributions to translation theory.
Jeremy Munday explores each theory chapter-by-chapter and tests the different approaches by applying them to texts. The texts discussed are taken from a broad range of languages – English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Punjabi, Portuguese and English translations are provided. A wide variety of text types are analyzed, including a tourist brochure, a children's cookery book, a Harry Potter novel, the Bible, literary reviews and translators' prefaces, film translation, a technical text and a European Parliament speech. Each chapter includes the following features:

  • a table introducing key concepts 
  • an introduction outlining the translation theory or theories
  • illustrative texts with translations
  • a chapter summary
  • discussion points and exercises.

Including a general introduction, an extensive bibliography, and websites for further information, this is a practical, user-friendly textbook that gives a balanced and comprehensive insight into translation studies.

Lenghty but useful 28 Oct 2009
Format:Paperback
This book contains a lot of repetition but it does accurately describe several translation theories in an easy-to-understand way. Very useful especially for field-specific terminology.

Helpful and clear 15 May 2010
Format:Paperback
I use it for university, and it's very clear in its chapters, with chapters that are neither too long nor too short. Enough explanation, but it doesn't keep on repeating itself. Overall, it's quite helpful when it comes to translation studies.

Disappointing 28 Jun 2009
Format:Paperback
Quite infomative about the history of Translation Studies and with lots of detail and references. However, the writing style is dry and overly academic making it frustrating to read and not overly engaging.
