Translating Untranslatability

Beschrijving

This book is meant for students who have had much language practice in both English and Dutch. Preferably they have also had training in translating Dutch texts into English and English texts into Dutch and have now arrived at a point at which they want to know how to translate passages with the most difficult translation problems such as culture-specific references, non-standard items, imagery, and so on. These problems constitute the main body of this book: how do translators tackle those passages where the problem of untranslatability manifests itself?
