Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

French

Description:

This course is an introductory level course in translation to learn and practice skills needed to read critically and to translate from English to French and vice versa. We shall stress accuracy, precision, idiomacy, and subtlety in both languages. Furthermore, the proper use of a dictionary will be taught to avoid pitfalls of errors when words are taken out of context or as a single unit. A review of various kinds of specialized dictionaries (unilingual versus bilingual) will be presented. The interest in Translation Studies (Traductology), i.e. Comprehensive History of Translation, has grown since the 80s. We shall endeavor to present an overview of recent developments in this fast growing field.
