Translation is a comprehensive resource book which provides students and researchers with support for advanced study of the subject. The authors examine the theory and practice of translation from a variety of linguistic and cultural angles. Drawing on a wide range of languages, including French, Spanish, German, Italian, Russian and Arabic, they explore material from a variety of sources, such as the Internet, advertisements, religious texts, literary and technical texts.
