Learning objectives

The course is designed to provide the student with: - a knowledge of critical issues in translation theories and studies (methods, criticism, description vs. prescription, etc.), with a particular emphasis on Italian theories of translation in XXth Century; - a language (vocabulary) and discourse (manner) for “talking” about translation; - critical skills to analyze and compare different interlinguistic translations of a literary source text.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Students are expected to have a good command (preferably at a B2 level or higher) of at least one of the languages of study and Italian. A basic knowledge of general linguistics is also recommended.

Program

This course will introduce students to critical concepts and issues in translation studies, from both a theoretical and applied perspective.
More specifically, the course will, on the one hand, discuss the main theoretical approaches to translation; on the other hand, students will reflect on the main problems posed by translation.
Particular attention will be dedicated to some linguistic aspects that may be relevant to translation practice (e.g., word order, collocations, and idioms). Students will also reflect on the specificities presented by different text types and language varieties (diatopic, diastratic, diaphasic and diamesic variation).
