NAT - Translation Theories - 3 Functional Theories Interactive Seminar (Zoom event) Saturday 8 August 2020 9.45am - 1.00pm AEST
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
