Specifications
This book serves as an introduction to the functional and communicative approach to translation. The main goal of functional theories is to highlight the cultural dimension and the intentionality of translating, to liberate professional translators from blind adherence to the source text, and to direct them towards analyzing the communicative goal and the function of the translation.
Christiane Nord, using simple language, clearly addresses the complex positions of functional theories and articulates the various terms that dominate these theories with precision. The book includes a review of the evolution of various theories inspired by the principles of functionalism, explains their basic principles using many practical examples, and discusses their applicability to various aspects of the translation phenomenon, such as translator education, literary translation, and interpretation.
Moreover, particular emphasis is placed on the concept of consistency towards the translator's partners during the translation interaction, which is inextricably linked to the ethical dimension of translation. The presentation concludes with a thorough overview of the criticisms that these theories have received over time and refers to the prospects for their further evolution.
