German and English Academic Usage and Academic Translation

Description

German and English: Academic Usage and Academic Translation focuses on academic and popular scientific/academic usage. This book’s brief is both theoretical and practical: on the theoretical side it aims to provide a systematic corpus-based account of current academic usage in English and in German as well as of the translation problems associated with various academic genres; on the practical side it seeks to equip academic translators with the skills required to produce target-language text in accordance with disciplinary conventions. The main perspective taken is that of a translator working from German into English but the converse direction is also regularly taken into account. Most of the examples used are based on errors that occurred in real-life translation jobs.
