Introduction to Translation and Interpreting - TRAN870
This unit introduces students to the disciplines of translation and interpreting. The unit provides an overview of the chronological evolution of theories and their application to translation and interpreting practice. Theories relevant to translation practice including linguistic theories such as equivalence theory and translation shifts as well as functionalist theories will be discussed. The overview of interpreting theory starts with a survey of the early cognitive theories of interpreting and their relevance to interpreting practice in the simultaneous and consecutive modes. An introduction to the sociolinguistic approach to interpreting provides students with an understanding of the interactional management of dialogue interpreting.
