| Translation Studies (New Accents Series) | |
|
THE first step towards an examination of the process of translation must be to accept that although translation has a central core of linguistic activity, it belongs most properly to semiotics, the science that studies sign systems or structures, sign processes and sign functions (Hawkes, Structuralism and Semiotics, London 1977).

| The Translator's Turn (Parallax: Re-visions of Culture and Society) | |
|
Certain to become a key text, this essay legitimizes a translator's "feel" for the "right" word choice by a felt comfort with a choice determined by personal and collective usage. Robinson's critical persona, that of a breezy yet erudite psychotherapist, both attacks and appreciates Augustine, Luther, and Goethe. He will make other theorists reconsider George Steiner, rush to the defense of Eugene Nida, and go prospecting themselves in the works of Bakhtin, Bloom, and Burke. Robinson persuasively uncovers the applicability of most language-oriented literary theory and criticism to translation when the word translation is substituted at key junctures. Since an attack on various traditional translation theories is comprehensible chiefly to those who already know them, this is a book for specialists. - Marilyn Gaddis Rose, SUNY at Binghampton

| About Translation (Multilingual Matters, Series No. 74) | |
|
Peter Newmark's third book is an attempt to deepen and extend his views on translation. He goes easy on theories and models and diagrams and offers a few correlative statements to assist translators in finding a variety of options and in making their decisions. He discusses political concepts, linguistic interference and the role of words and discourse in translation. There are chapters on teaching translation, teaching about translation and the reason for the growing international importance of translation. Finally, Professor Newmark insists on the distinction between cultural and universal aspects of language, and sees translation as a critical and sometimes cruelly truthful weapon in exposing language, culture and literature. Peter Newark's views on translation are controversial; as a compensation he offers an abundance of interesting translation examples.

| A Textbook of Translation | |
|
Peter Newmark's A Textbook of Translation is arguably one of the few classic texts in the occasionally emerging field of translation studies and stands out among the other, often more abstract and cultural theory-inspired works of `translatology' because of its determination to be immediately practical and applicable to actual, hands-on (usually literary) translation work. As such it is an excellent resource for both students of translation as well as practitioners of the trade.

| Introduction to the Problems of Legal Theory - A Translation of the First Edition of the Reine Rechtslehre or Pure Theory of Law | |
|
Hans Kelsen is considered to be one of the foremost legal theorists and philosophers of the twentieth century. His writing made an important contribution to many areas, especially those of legal theory and international law. Over a number of decades, he developed an important legal theory which found its first complete exposition in Reine Rechtslehre, or Pure Theory of Law, the first edition of which was published in Vienna in 1934. This is the first English translation of that work. It covers such topics as law and morality, the legal system and its hierarchical structure, the identity of law and state, and international law.
