This unit introduces students to recent developments in translation and interpreting theory. These contemporary theories will be set against the background of the disciplinary origins and evolution of theories in the field of translation studies and, more recently, interpreting studies. Contemporary theories encompass linguistic, sociolinguistic and psycholinguistic models of human communication. Students will be encouraged to consider the relevance of these theories to the practice and teaching of translation and interpreting. -- Course Website
