The Theory And Practice Of Translation: With Special Reference To Bible Translating

This study looks closely at the whole sequence of steps involved in turning a text from one language into another. Its main example is Bible translation, a field with a very long past and an enormous spread of languages, cultures and literary forms, which makes it a rich case for examining how translators find meaning and carry it across. Although biblical scholars will find much of value here, the authors are concerned with general questions: what meaning is, how it can pass between linguistic and cultural lines, and which practical methods best serve that aim.
