Discourse And The Translator Hatim Pdf
Discourse and the Translator both incorporates and moves beyond previous studies of translation. Its logical and informative approach to the problems of translation ensures that it will be essential for all those who work with languages 'in contact'. Incorporating research in sociolinguistics, discourse studies, pragmatics and semiotics, the authors analyse the process and product of translation in their social contexts. Through this analysis, the book emphasises the importance of the translator as a mediator between cultures. General Editor's Preface. Foreword.
To Hatim & Mason, the translator is a 'mediator between the producer of a source text and whoever are its target language receivers' (223), in keeping with a generally Gricean or Widdowsonian view of all communication as a process of negotiation.
