Awareness of the fundamental properties of a given text is essential for effective, professional translating and interpreting.

Analytical approaches include: discourse analysis, conversation analysis, and systemic functional grammar. The goal of the unit is to promote awareness of differences between English and students' other working language, and the implications of these differences for achieving lexical, morphological, syntactical and discourse equivalence in translation and interpreting.
