The course aims at guiding students through translating texts of a general nature. It explores the primary parameters and concepts involved in the process of translating such as (types of) Equivalence, the interaction between form and content, and translation techniques and strategies in relation to different textual requirements. The course will also focus on macro-translation strategies such as foreignization vs. domestication. This theoretical background will enable students to discern and tackle the ensuing problems and areas of difficulty in translation.
