Drawing on insights from linguistics, pragmatics, semiotics, and cultural studies, the book challenges established paradigms in translation studies and advocates for a reader-centered approach to translation practice. Through detailed analyses of discourse and register, Hatim highlights the crucial role of context in translation, demonstrating how social, cultural, and situational factors influence interpretation and translation. The book also offers practical guidance for translators, addressing issues such as discourse texture, coherence, and thematic organization. Overall, "Teaching and Researching Translation" serves as an invaluable resource for scholars, students, and practitioners in the field of translation studies, providing theoretical insights and practical tools for producing culturally resonant translations.
