Einführung in die Übersetzungswissenschaft

This standard work of translation studies offers in the first part an overview of the history, development and current theories and models of the subject. Prerequisites, possibilities as well as the cultural conditionality of translation are treated systematically and illustrated by many examples. The second part is devoted to the concept of equivalence, which is central in translation studies. In it, different dimensions of equivalence are pointed out and their dependence on the respective frame of reference is illustrated. The translation-relevant differences of various text types are also dealt with. The ninth edition has been redesigned and updated. Numerous examples and the highlighting of important content via text boxes facilitate work with the volume.
