REGISTRATIONS CLOSED


This series of 3 seminars*
on translation theory seeks to introduce basic notions of theory for practising professional translators. The series takes a chronological approach starting with an overview of the early origins of theory in different geographical and cultural contexts and how these theories underpin current perspectives on translation. Subsequent sessions examine linguistic and functional theories and finish by examining process models of translation and translator competence. Discussions will focus on understanding the theories presented, the purpose of theory generally and how it relates to practice.

Seminar 3 - Functional Theories

In the third seminar, we examine the translation process starting with functional theories; text-type analysis, skopos theory, translation-oriented text-analysis and translation quality assessment. We will also explore some empirically tested models of translation process and translator competence.


Presenter

Dr Helen Slatyer is an Honorary Senior Lecturer at Macquarie University where she has been teaching translation theory and practice for the past 20 years. Her research has focussed on translator and interpreter testing, pedagogical models for the multilingual delivery of interpreter education and more recently on interactional socio-linguistic analysis of interpreter-mediated communication.

Information on how to join the webinar will be sent to registrants one (1) day before the event.

This webinar will be recorded for quality review purposes only.  A condensed version of the webinar excluding all the interactive elements will be released at a later stage.
