Theories and Practice of Translation (Genişletilmiş 2. Baskı) – Yağmur Küçükbezirci – Eğitim Yayınevi - Ders Kitapları

Nowadays, by the development of communication devices, there is a great intercultural interaction between all of the nations. The importance of the process of translation can not be neglected in the world that is especially becoming a global village. When I firstly came across this study, I thought that it was an easy process to translate the texts, just find the meaning of the unknown words from the dictionary and write its meaning in the target language but I realized that the process does not work like this. In order to make an efficient translation, the culture of the source language and the target language should be known

This study attempts to present the theories and practice of translation. The process of translation is defined according to different views of scientists and the development of translation is presented from a historical perspective. The impact of culture on the translation process is investigated from several aspects through employing discrete extracts of various translators. The importance of translation and the aspects of literary translation are also emphasized.
