TRANSLATION AND TRANSLATING Theory and Practice

Abstract

Being a professor of linguistics, Roger Bell in this book, deals with both translation and linguistics.Translation is a process which transforms "a text originally in one language into an equivalent text in a different language retaining, as far as possible, the content of the message and the formal features and functional roles of the original text" and from this definition we can see that translation involves language to a greater extent in its process.The book examines and explains the way translation is treated both by translation theorists and linguists.
