LSPA 0509 - Methods and Techniques in Translation


Credits: 3

Examines the mechanics of written translation with an emphasis on texts or fragments of texts that expose specific problems, including common problematic expressions encountered in Spanish to English translation and vice-versa. Particular emphasis will be given to elements such as the impersonal voice, structure of sentences, verbal tenses, prepositions and punctuation. Students gain practice in translating both from the target language into their native language and the reverse.
