tailieunhanh - Early Theories of Translation

In the following pages I have attempted to trace certain developments in the theory of translation as it has been formulated by English writers. I have confined myself, of necessity, to such opinions as have been put into words, and avoided making use of deductions from practice other than a few obvious and generally accepted conclusions. The procedure involves, of course, the omission of some important elements in the history of the theory of translation, in that it ignores the discrepancies between precept and practice, and the influence which practice has exerted upon theory; on the other hand, however, it confines a subject, otherwise impossibly. | Theories of Translation by Flora Ross Amos 1 CHAPTER PAGE Theories of Translation by Flora Ross Amos Project Gutenberg s Early Theories of Translation by Flora Ross Amos This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever.
