Message 1: Linguistics of Translation
Date: 05-Oct-2005
From: Richard Cameron <rcameronuic.edu>
Subject: Linguistics of Translation


Regarding query: http://www.linguistlist.org/issues/16/16-2833.html#1

On Sunday, Oct. 2, I posted the following request on Linguist List.

Does anyone know of courses, articles, or books in which translation as a
topic in linguistics is explored? I ask as we are thinking of developing a
course of Translation (Spanish / English)which involves Linguistics in some
fashion. The course would be for undergraduates. I will post responses on
Linguist List, si me llegan, you know.

I want to thank the following very generous individuals who responded:

Klaus Abels, Francisco Yus, Timothy Face, Philippe De Brabanter,
Christoph Gutknecht, Louise McNally (y la familia bella bella bella),
Theresa Heyd, Andrea Kenesei, George Williams, Aidan Coveney, George Floros,
Gabriela Saldanha, Mike Cahill, Joel Hoffman, and Paul Bennett. I hope I
have not left any names off the list.

I post here two sets of responses. First, a number of individuals indicated
Programs with websites or People with websites of interest. I list those
here. Second, many folks sent titles of books and/or names of authors who
have written on Linguistics and Translation.

and Hebrew. The syllabi from some of those classes are available at:
