Self-Instruction Materials on Non-Narrative Discourse Analysis
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Many problems in translation arise because of mismatches between the source and receptor languages. A particularly relevant factor is whether or not the language normally places the verb at the end of the sentence, and whether or not the subject commonly follows the verb. Such potential mismatches are a major discussion in the eight chapters of this course.
Topics include
The course is designed particularly for those who expect to be involved in the translation of non-narrative texts from one language to another, whether as a mother tongue speaker, other tongue speaker or expatriate translator, consultant or advisor. It will also help anyone engaged in the study of non-narrative texts in any language in the world.
Recommended prerequisites are the completion of a Narrative Discourse Analysis course, with associated field experience or its equivalent. Students will need a selection of non-narrative texts in the language they are studying.
