Translation into the Second Language (Applied Linguistics and Language Study) 1st (first) Edition by Campbell, Prof Stuart published by Longman

Applied Linguistics and Language Study

by Stuart Campbell

The dynamics of immigration, international commerce and the postcolonial world make it inevitable that much translation is done into a second language, despite the prevailing wisdom that translators should only work into their mother tongue. Rather than seeing translation into a second language as deficient output, this study adopts an interlanguage framework to consider second language translation as the product of developing competence - learning to translate is seen as a special variety of second language acquisition.
