Book: Meaning-Based Translation

Meaning-Based Translation: A Guide to Cross-Language Equivalence, 2nd edition

Author: Mildred L. Larson
Publisher: University Press of America; 2 edition, 1997

Meaning-Based Translation is designed for training beginning translators and organized chapter by chapter as drill material for the textbook “Meaning-Based Translation.” The textbook emphasizes the importance of a translation being accurate, clear and natural and the exercises give the student practice in achieving this goal. The exercises follow closely the content of the textbook since this is a drill manual for added practice. The textbook has some exercises as well, but the workbook provides additional practice from one basic source, thus giving students a wider variety of problems to solve during practice time. It also provides material that can be used as homework or as testing material.
