Resumen: During the latter half of this century, particular attention has been paid to translating. The progress and change of perspective in this field of knowledge have been spectacular, moving from a scientific and prescriptive vision of translation to a descriptive one, which, in turn, has given way to the interaction between translation and culture. The starting point of this book is the idea that language is not neutral and that, insofar as language is the translator's tool, the act of translating is not neutral either.

Resumen: Introduction. The following chapters are the first of a series of "Paragrahs on Translations" which I began contibuting once every two months to The Linguist, the journal of the Institute of Linguists, in September 1989, and which I am likely to continue as long as I go on teaching.

I think that more or less self-contained paragraphs have an impact that is missing in chapters of prescribed length. I have written these "Paragraphs" for various groups of readers: firt for translators, students and teachers of translation, and even for translation theorists; secondly for language teachers, linguistis and educationalists, thirdly for public administrators, politicians, directors of townhalls, airlines, hospitals, museums, theatres, art galleries, etc. and most importantly for the general and educated reader, who is continuously and increasingly affected by translation in the strest, in the supermarkets, in public buildongs, in planes and trains, in information and tourist offices, to an extent tha has never occurred before..."

Resumen: This book is intended either for undergraduate study as part of a language course, or for individual study and self-improvement by would-be or practising profesional translators. The level of difficulty and subject range of the texts is also intended to help the student to prepare for professional examinations such as the Diploma in Translation of the Institute of Linguists. The contents include a discussion of different approaches to the process of translation, together with a selection of Source Texts in French. For each Source Text there will be a suggested Target Text together with detailed Annotations on the problems for translation posed by each text.
