Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This engaging and accessible textbook, by two leading experts, is a carefully crafted introduction to linguistics for translators, students, and researchers of translation. Starting with basic concepts and gradually moving readers to the central questions in different branches of linguistics, examples are drawn from English and many other languages, including German, Arabic, Kurdish, Swahili, French, and Chinese. The key areas of linguistics are covered from morphology and syntax to semantics, pragmatics, discourse analysis, stylistics, sociolinguistics, and cognitive linguistics. Striking a balance between theoretical developments and empirical investigation, readers gain both a comprehensive overview of linguistics and how it informs their work in translation and learn how to argue for analysis and annotate their own answers and translations academically. Each chapter provides the reader with an overview outlining the main points and technical words used in the chapter as well as illustrative examples, recommended readings, and resources and activities to test knowledge. This is the ideal textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate students of translation in Translation Studies, Linguistics, and Modern languages.
