Translation

Catalog description

This course aims to help students deepen their understanding of the Spanish language and to broaden their vocabulary through the practice of translation. We will consider a range of discursive, lexical and syntactic topics and will translate a variety of texts (fiction and non-fiction, of different registers and for various purposes). Students will translate from Spanish to English and from English to Spanish. Class discussions will be held in both languages, as determined by the task at hand. Open to non-native, native, and heritage speakers of Spanish. This course counts for the Linguistics major/minor.
