9781474486620 (ISBN)
Arabic–English–Arabic Literary Translation gives learners of translation and interpreting the necessary theoretical and practical knowledge to identify and deal with the issues they encounter when translating literary texts between Arabic and English. It can also be used by instructors to teach modules on translation and interpretation issues and strategies.
Organised along the lines of the translation process itself, this guide discusses key terms relating to literary translation, covers the most common translation approaches and provides a systematic classification of issues that can be encountered in the translation process and the strategies available to deal with them. The issues and strategies are divided into four categories: lexical, structural, textual and contextual.
Ahmed Saleh Elimam is Associate Professor in Translation Studies at the University of Leicester and convenor of the MA Translation and Interpreting course. He has also taught Arabic and Translation at numerous universities worldwide including: The University of Manchester; The University of St Andrews; The Arab Open University, Kuwait; and The American University in Cairo.
