Objectives of the Course
|
The course aims to enable the students to work on a model for source-text analysis and to develop skills to make translation-oriented text analyses on different text types. In addition, the students are expected to choose the translation strategies suitable for the intended purpose of the particular translation they are working on after understanding the content, structure, and function of the source text.
