Comparative Stylistics of French and English: A methodology for translation (Benjamins Translation Library)

By Jean Darbelnet, Jean-Paul Vinay, VINAY ET DARBELNET

Book Overview

The Stylistique compar e du fran ais et de l'anglais has become a standard text in the French-speaking world for the study of comparative stylistics and the training of translators. This updated, first English edition makes Vinay & Darbelnet's classic methodology of translation available to a wider readership. The translation-oriented contrastive grammatical and stylistic analyses of the two languages are extensively exemplified by expressions, phrases and texts. Combining description with methodological guidelines for translation, this volume serves both as a course book and - through its detailed index and glossary - as a reference manual for specific translation problems.
