This course is designed to offer students an overview of the communicative and functionalist approaches to translation which take as their primary focus the function or purpose of the translation as determined by the initiator of the translation and the communicative, cultural and situational determinants of the user. The course also provides students with the opportunity to apply the cross-cultural conventions, practices and methods of functional text typology in the Arabic/English translation of a variety of functional text types and genres. The main objective of the course will be to enable students to manipulate, refashion and adapt SL information to suit the target culture.
