In Pursuit of Meaning: Translation Theory and Practice

3 credits

We explore translation as both an academic pursuit and a practical professional activity. Students learn about "equivalence" (textual, grammatical, pragmatic), a concept central to translation, as well as the ethics and morality relating to the profession. We also put theory into practice by translating from a German novel into English. ***Prerequisite: GER 212.*** **Permission of the Department Head may be required to register in some offerings.**
