Learning outcomes
On successful completion of this course, students should be able to:
- recognize translation relevant text typologies;
- analyse text types from the point of view of translation;
- demonstrate knowledge about text specific translation problems;
- solve translation problems occuring in the German-Italian and Italian-German translations of texts related to tourism and commerce;
- produce target texts which are coherent with the text function and audience, on the basis of small translation assignment (German-Italian).
Program
After a theoretical introduction about translation as a communicative activity strictly related to source text typology and context, we will work on translation strategies and procedures based on real texts related to tourism and commerce in the language combination German-Italian.
As well as presenting the basic knowledge on translation analysis of internal and external aspects of texts, the course aims at developing the ability to autonomously manage simple translation activities. The texts taken from real world situations will be analyzed and specific translation strategies will be discussed in order to be able to elaborate credible target texts.
