FIA DISCIPLINEI

Traduceri I.
The series of seminars is designed to be a systematic study of translation techniques. The sessions will be divided into two parts. In the first part the instructor will point out the difficulties of translating different grammatical and lexical structures while in the second there will be extensive practice using various translation techniques in relation to the discussed topics/grammar problems. Special emphasis will be laid on vocabulary development. During the course there will be continuous assessment (home assignments, sit-in paper and the take-home translation of a longer text).
