Dictionaries tell stories of many kinds. The history of dictionaries, of how they were produced, published and used, has much to tell us about the language and the culture of the past. This monumental work of scholarship draws on published and archival material to survey a wide range of dictionaries of western European languages (including English, German, Latin and Greek) published between the early sixteenth and mid seventeenth centuries. John Considine establishes a new and powerful model for the social and intellectual history of lexicography by examining dictionaries both as imaginative texts and as scholarly instruments. He tells the stories of national and individual heritage and identity that were created through the making of dictionaries in the early modern period. Far from dry, factual collections of words, dictionaries are creative works, shaping as well as recording early modern culture and intellectual history.

The Scandals of Translation: Towards an Ethics of Difference

Author: L. Venuti
Publisher: Routledge
Book: 220 pages
Date: 1998
Format: PDF
Size: 30,1 MB

Provocative and controversial, The Scandals of Translation explores the anxious relationships between translation and the institutions that at once need it and marginalize it. Lawrence Venuti, a professional translator, argues that prevalent concepts of authorship degrade translation in literary scholarship and underwrite its unfavorable definition in copyright law. Exposing myriad abuses, Venuti provides stinging critiques of the Modern Language Association for its neglect of translation, as well as publishers for their questionable treatment of translators. From Bible translation in the early Christian Church to translations of modern Japanese and West African novels, Venuti reveals the social effects of translated text and aims to expand the possibilities for translation projects.

Literary Translation: A Practical GuideAuthor: Clifford E. Landers
Publisher: Multilingual MattersPublication date: 2001

In Literary Translation: A Practical Guide, both beginning and experienced translators will find pragmatic techniques for dealing with problems of literary translation, whatever the original language. The specifics of translating, say, Bulgarian, obviously differ from those of rendering French, Chinese, or any other language into English. But certain challenges and certain themes recur in translation, whatever the language pair. This guide proposes to help the translator navigate through them.
Because a book about translation without examples is like a book about photography without pictures, illustrations, mostly from my language of specialty - Portuguese - appear frequently. They are meant not as models but as stimuli to thinking. The same kinds of associations and thought processes that 'solve' problems in one language are usually transferable to another tongue.
The quotation marks around solve are a reminder that translation problems are not like math problems that have only one or at most a strictly limited number of right answers. As a subfield of literature - and literature is indisputably an art rather than a science - translation is subjective in essence. Reasonable people may well disagree about which of several proposed alternatives to a particular translation problem best addresses it. Nevertheless, there are guidelines that can help us work our way through, to use a Borgesian metaphor, the seemingly infinite labyrinth of forking paths. That is the purpose of this book.

توضیحات کتاب

در راهنمایی عملی ترجمه ادبی، هم برای افراد تازه کار و هم با تجربه فن های عملی برای مواجه با مشکلات ترجمه ادبی ارایه شده است. برای مثای، خصوصیات ترجمه از بلغاری به انگلیسی تا فرانسوی، چینی متفاوت است.

چون یک کتاب بدون مثال مثل کتاب در مورد عکاسی ولی بدون عکس است، من از نمونه های بسیاری به خصوص از زبان تخصصی خود یعنی پرتغالی استفاده کرده ام. این مثال ها نه به عنوان بلکه به تشویق به تفکر است. افکار و مراحلی که مشکلات ما را در یک زبان حل ی کنند به زبان های دیگر نیز قابل انتقال است. علامت های نقل قول در اطراف راه حل های ترجمه نشانگر این هستند که در ترجمه مانند ریاضی، یک یا دو راه حل محدود وجود ندارد. به عنوان زیر شاخه ای از ادبیات (که خود نه علم بلکه هنر است)، ترجمه نیز غیر عینی است.
