This workbook combines methodology and practice for use in a course for beginning translators with a solid proficiency in French It takes a linguistic approach to the problems of translation in addressing common and major pitfalls, such as delineation of "translation units' or what constitutes a concept beyond mere words, word polysemy, false cognates, structural and cultural obstacles to literal translation. It offers chapter-by-chapter explanations of the various strategies used by professional translators to counter these problems: the translation devices known as transposition, modulation, equivalence and adaptation. Each chapter concludes with a variety of practice exercises focusing on one specific problem. The second part of the book is a global application of all the principles taught in the first part and guides the student step by step through the actual translation of a choice of literary (prose, poetry and plays) and non-literary excerpts.
