 Annotated Bibliography

Introduction:

This annotated bibliography represents a first attempt to compile a comprehensive overview

of current research on issues related to Applied Linguistics It is intended to be a resource
for BA and MA students who are engaged in Applied Linguistics as an interdisciplinary
field of study. The sources included in the bibliography address central topics related to
Applied Linguistics such as translation, teaching translation, translation assessment,
pragmatics and linguistics. It focuses on key sources, and provides an upto date overview
of articles to highlight the most significant issues

Annotations:
1- Bell, R. T., & Candlin, C. (1991). Translation and Translating: Theory and
Practice. London: Longman.
The book aims at identifying the conflicts between the translations theorists
and linguists. This book outlines the necessary knowledge of a translator, who must
have the ability to translate without hindering the originality of S.T and T.T. The
book is divided into three parts: Model, Meaning and Memory. Model is an
introduction to the nature of translation. It also highlights some aspects of translation:
the fidelity of the translator the skills and technique that the translator should follow
while translating and the manner of translation And then in Meaning, there is the
quest for meaningthe traditional word and sentence meaning , the semantic sense
and grammar. The final segment is the Memory part. It takes care of the specific
issue of the text-processing and the storage & retrieval of information. It deals with
the typology of texts, and analyzing of texts.

Applied Linguistics in Action: A Reader presents students with an applied

linguistics framework for the analysis of real-world language problems. Part One
brings together seven key discussions of the nature of contemporary applied linguistics
including issues like: the politics of applied linguistics, its responses to globalisation,
and its relation to social theory. Part Two demonstrates how principles can be applied
to a range of specific real-world problems. It is essential reading for advanced level
undergraduates and postgraduates on Applied Linguistics as it develops both the
theoretical and empirical skills crucial to the practicalities of language teaching.

teaching and a discussion of the contributions second language education theory and
practice can make to translation education. He then attempts to chart a course to more
effective translator education using an innovative socio-cognitive model of the
translation process and the results of an empirical study of the differences between
professional and non-professional translators. Pathways to Translation provides in
extensive detail the research background of the empirical study, including previous
work in the psychology of translation and a research method known as the think-

A 186-page textbook offers an informative tour of the main development of the

translation theory from the traditional, equivalence-based approaches to the
philosophical paradigm ''cultural translation''. It includes suggested projects and
activities at the end of each chapter, a 12-page bibliography. It is designed to be a
university textbook, a guide for self-study or even an introduction to the field. The
first chapter explains how translating can lead to theories. The second chapter studies
the paradigm of ''natural equivalence'' In the third chapter a second equivalence-based
paradigm: ''directional equivalence.'' Is introduced. In chapter 4, discussion shifted to
the purpose-based paradigms, it gives a brief overview of the main purpose-based
approaches. In the fifth chapter, we are introduced to the Descriptive paradigms.
Chapter 6 focuses on the ''uncertainty'' paradigm. Chapter 7 examines
the ''localization'' paradigm. In the final full chapter, the ''cultural translation is
discussed.
The book presents a comprehensive analysis of the paradigms of translation studies. It
is designed for classroom use and personal study or as an introduction to the field.
Nonetheless, the book tends to concentrate on written translation rather than
Translation Studies as a whole.
