Resumen: Translation Studies presents an integrated concept based on the theory and practice of translation. The author adapts linguistic approaches and methods in such a way that they may be usefully employed in the theory, practice, and analysis of literary translation. The author develops a more cultural approach through text analysis and cross-cultural communication studies. The book is a contribution to the development of translation studies as a discipline in its own right.

Resumen: Una visión de la lengua no sólo como vehículo de comunicación, sino también como fin en sí misma: la belleza de las palabras, su capacidad para provocarnos recuerdos, pensamientos, dudas. Bordelois propone recobrar el verdadero valor de la palabra y recordar el placer del lenguaje. Sostiene que el sistema actual intenta aniquilar la conciencia lingüística. !o sugiere la existencia de un grupo de multinacionales que orquesten esta aniquilación, sino que ésta es propia del capitalismo. En una cultura marcada por el consumismo y el marketing, necesariamente se destruye el lenguaje, ya que la lucidez no es conveniente. Una cultura masificante entorpece el acceso a los estratos m(s profundos del lenguaje y de su conciencia, transmite prejuicios sin delatarlos, empobrece el vocabulario u olvida sus refrescantes orígenes. La autora dice que para encontrar el verdadero significado de las palabras hay que buscar en su etimología, que es un camino de recuperación de memorias ancestrales.

Resumen: Lost in Translation brings to life more than fifty words that don't have direct English translations with illustrations of definitions. Often these words provide insight into the cultures they come from, such as the Brazilian Portuguese word for running your fingers through a lover's hair, the Italian word for being moved to tears by a story, or the Swedish word for a third cup of coffee.

Resumen: The detachment of theory from practice has been criticized by translating practitioners; yet little improvement has been made. This book addresses the problem by reinvestigating the system of translation. Based on Daoist dialectics, the author introduces a dual system: translation theory and translating theory. The former concentrates on the abstract and macro aspects while the latter on the practical and micro ones. In professional translating, the depth of knowledge plays a crucial role. The book dedicates a whole chapter on their relationship. In order to demystify the black box of the translating process, a cognitive investigation is carried out. A paradigm called FAST (fluency, accuracy, speed and tradesmanship) is proposed for professional translating practice. The second half of the book tackles issues related to translating of technical and legal documents, as well as menus and poetry. The book is of an interdisciplinary nature, targeting readers who are interested in translation and translating, cognitive linguistics, formulaic language theory, communication studies, knowledge studies, experience and expertise studies, information theory, and intercultural studies.
