Know about the book -

The Translator As Communicator is written by Basil Hatim and published by Routledge. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1134817142 (ISBN 10) and 9781134817146 (ISBN 13).

By taking an integrated approach to the practice of translation, Hatim and Mason provide a refreshingly unprejudiced contribution to translation theory. They argue that the division of the subject into literary and non-literary, technical and non-technical and so on, is unhelpful and misleading. Instead of dwelling on these differentials, the authors focus on what common ground exists between these distinctions. The proposed model is presented through a series of case studies, each of which has as its focus one particular feature of text constitution, while not losing sight of how this contributes to the whole analytic apparatus. Topics covered include: * a comprehensive description of the interpreting process * power and ideology in translation * discourse errors * curriculum design for translator training
