Optimality in Translation

Translation may be regarded as a response to a problem of communication usually between two language-bound cultural entities. The act itself is a multi-dimensional and multi-layered process involving in one consensual domain problem solving and decision making. This book explores translation as a decision-making process under constraints. It examines these constraints, and develops a three-tier decision-based translation model that can be used in self-evaluation of translations and in translation quality assessment. The model is anchored in optimality theory and regards translation as a temporary system of conflicting forces embodied by constraints yielding an optimal translation within these constraints. -- Product Description.

Social Semiotics of Arabic Satellite Television

Arabic satellite television is a phenomenon that has swept the Arab world in less than two decades and is said to have dramatically changed the Arab region. It has created a world of contrasts and contradictions between tradition and liberalism and a polarization of views and opinions, all vying for dominance and control. This book examines the social semiotics of Arabic satellite television and studies the multimodal representations of Arab social and cultural values and their implied meanings in a communication medium that heavily relies on imported western models.
