Lexington Books Language and Linguisticality in Gadamers
Book SynopsisIn this book, internationally recognized scholars in philosophical hermeneutics discuss various aspects of language and linguisticality. The translations of Hans-Georg Gadamer''s two recent essays provoke a preliminary discussion on the philosopher''s polemic claim in Truth and MethodBeing that can be understood is language. Topics addressed by the contributors include the relationship of rituals to tradition and the immemorial; the unity of the word; conversation; translation and conceptuality; and the interrelationship between the art of writing and linguisticality. This work is of critical importance to anyone interested in Gadamer''s claims regarding the boundaries of language, the transition from the prelinguistic to linguistic realms, and the role of rituals in this transition.Table of ContentsChapter 1 Language in a Hermeneutic Ontology Chapter 2 Boundaries of Language (1985) Chapter 3 Towards a Phenomenology of Ritual and Language (1992) Chapter 4 Play, Festival, and Ritual in Gadamer: On the Theme of the Immemorial in his Later Works Chapter 5 On the Hermeneutic Understanding of Language: Word, Conversation and Subject Matter Chapter 6 The Hermeneutics of Translation Chapter 7 The Other Side of Writing: Thoughts on Gadamer's Notion of Schriftlichkeit Chapter 8 Plato's Khôra as a Linguistic Index of Groundlessness Chapter 9 Participation and Ritual: Dewey and Gadamer on Language Chapter 10 A Written History of Effects: From Concept to Application Chapter 11 The Enigma of Health: Gadamer at Century's End Chapter 12 Notes Chapter 13 About the Contributors

Lexington Books Relativism and Intentionalism in Interpretation
Book SynopsisThe question of the relativity of interpretations and the relevance of the author''s intentions for interpretation has been at the center of controversy for the past century in different philosophical traditions, but there has been very little effort to examine the different ways this question has been addressed in contemporary philosophy within the space of a single book. Relativism and Intentionalism in Interpretation. Davidson, Hermeneutics, and Pragmatism brings diverse philosophical viewpoints to bear on these issues, addressing them through analytic philosophy, hermeneutics, and pragmatism. Kalle Puolakka develops a view of interpretation drawing on Donald Davidson''s late philosophy of language and mind defending the role of authorial intentions against criticisms intentionalist views have received particularly in hermeneutics and pragmatism. In addition to relativism and intentionalism, the book discusses such issues as the role of imagination and aesthetic experience in interpTrade ReviewA wide-ranging, carefully conducted study that should interest a wide range of philosophers of art, language, and culture, especially those concerned with the bridge-building efforts of Margolis, Rorty, Gadamer and others. The author's guiding aim is to show how Davidson’s later ideas on interpretation can serve as a basis for a form of objectivism about interpretation in both conversational and literary contexts, and as a bulwark against strong forms of relativism and historicism, while yet allowing for reasonable pluralism as regards both conversational and literary meanings. -- Jerrold Levinson, University of Maryland, College ParkTable of ContentsChapter 1 Preface Part 2 I. Does Joseph Margolis' Defense of Relativism Fall into an Impasse?. Part 3 II. From Humpty Dumpty to James Joyce: Donald Davidson's Late Philosophy and the Question of Intention Part 4 III.

University Press of America Beowulf
Book SynopsisThis new translation of Beowulf aims at rendering it closely from Anglo-Saxon (Old English) verse while maintaining its salient poetic qualities and literary appeal. Martin Puhvel''s translation uses vocabulary that makes the poem readable to all, preserving at the same time the poem''s characteristic, somewhat austere mode of expression and the vibrant, powerful flow of its alliterative verse. The work also features informative preliminary chapters that present the basic facts, findings, and theories concerning Beowulf. In addition, the elaborate Notes and Comments section following the text of the translation provides detailed information relevant to it, traces the motivational forces and other influences behind significant actions and speeches in the poem, and sheds light on various thought-provoking or challenging matters and issues in it or connected with it. An annotated list of proper names, genealogies of relevant royal families, a map of the geography of Beowulf, and a shortTrade ReviewThis new translation of Beowulf serves a rather different purpose from Seamus Heaney's compelling rendition of the poem. Martin Puhvel aims for a close translation of the Old English, while retaining as much of its poetic quality as possible through the use of alliteration and similar stress patterns. It is readable, effective, and clear, and on the whole avoids archaism. The volume is intended to introduce readers without Old English to the poem, and contains useful background material, including extensive notes and commentary, a glossary of proper names, genealogies, a map, and recommended reading. The introduction to the poem discusses issues of folklore and legendary history, sources and analogues, feud and warfare, and religious elements. * Medium Aevum, Vol. Lxxvi *Table of ContentsPart 1 Preface Part 2 The Poem and Its Background Chapter 3 I.

University Press of America TransLated Translation and Cultural Manipulation
Book SynopsisTranslation is intercultural communication par excellence. It has the power to form and/or deform cultures through sustained manipulation of the translation process and all that goes into it: from texts chosen for translation to the words used. But nowhere has manipulation through translation been more damaging than in the cultural exchange of goods between the Arab/Islamic worlds and the West. Drawing on this complex cultural relationship, the chapters in this volume address issues such as the rise of a master discourse of translation; pseudo-translation; self-translation; and the historiography of translation.Table of ContentsPart 1 Preface Chapter 2 The Culture of Translation and the Translation of Culture Chapter 3 The Master Discourse of Translation Chapter 4 A Case of Pseudo-translation Chapter 5 A Case of Self-translation Chapter 6 A Case of Translation Historiography Part 7 References Part 8 Author Index Part 9 Subject Index

University Press of America Courtroom Interpreting
Book SynopsisIn Courtroom Interpreting, Marianne Mason offers a new perspective in the study of courtroom interpreting through the exploration of cognitive and linguistic barriers that court interpreters face everyday and ultimately result in an interpreter''s deviation from original linguistic content. The quality of an interpreter''s rendition plays a key role in how well a non-English speaking defendant''s legal rights are served. Interpreters are expected to provide a faithful rendition of all semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic content regardless of how difficult the task may be at a cognitive level. From a legal perspective this expectation may be sound as it disregards the cost associated with the interpreter having to account for a great deal of linguistic content. Mason proposes that if the quality of interpreters'' renditions is to improve and the rights of non-English speaking minorities is to be better served the issue of cognitive overload needs to be addressed more effectively by the cTrade ReviewMarianne Mason's Courtroom Interpreting hits the reader like a battering ram from beginning to end. Taking the importance of a judiciary interpreter's profession as a given, Mason dives into the heretofore unexplored territory of cognitive overload.

University Press of America Communicating Across Cultures
Book SynopsisCommunicating Across Cultures: A Coursebook on Interpreting and Translating in Public Services and Institutions is a manual which addresses the complex task of interpreting and translating through reflection and practice. The book originated from discussions with those who perform the work of an intermediary because they know the languages and cultures, and with those who would like to do this type of work, but who may require more training. Thus, it is directed at people who, due to their knowledge of two languages, serve as liaisons between immigrant communities, visitors, or foreigners and the societies that receive them. More precisely, it is directed at future professionals in public service translation and interpreting. Communicating Across Cultures will equip future professionals with the necessary knowledge, skills, and tools to act as linguistic, communicative, and cultural liaisons. It will also help improve the communication between the staff of medical, legal, educational, Trade ReviewProfessor Valero-Garcés and her team have been committed to the international development of interpreting in the public services since 1997. In this book she invites the reader to reflect, with clarity and integrity, on the practicalities of this pivotal element for the functioning of this century’s multi-lingual social reality – which too many are trying very hard not to think about at all. -- Ann Corsellis, vice president, Chartered Institute of Linguists, UKI have read through the chapters of Professor Valero-Garcés’ book with pleasure, both as a practitioner and as a trainer. This book addresses a long-standing need for a practical manual of Public Service Interpreting and Translation, both for those in the field and for those of us engaged in preparing practitioners for the field. The well-structured chapters cover in a concise and accessible manner topics of key interest, with a balanced mix of theory and practice activities. I, for one, will be using it in my teaching. -- Brooke Townsley, MA, senior lecturer of public service interpreting and translation, Middlesex UniversityAs a result of globalisation we see an ever-growing movement of people. They may be on holiday in the foreign country, studying, working or migrating to a new future. Consequently, provisions are needed to ensure communication between people of diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds in all modern societies. This study on translation and interpreting in public services is therefore a most welcome and relevant contribution. It is based on highly esteemed theoretical research as well as on the wide practical experience gained in training at the University of Alcalá and by the FITISPos group in Spain. This book will be of interest and use to all involved in translation and interpreting, intercultural mediation and interlinguistic communication in public services. -- Erik Hertog, Lessius University College, AntwerpCarmen Valero-Garcés has made a practical and useful contribution to research as well as training in Public Service Interpreting and Translation. She introduces fundamental concepts in PSIT such as interlinguistic communication and cultural relevance, and reviews the current situation in a very didactic, clearly explained, critical and thought-provoking manner. This book could be used for an introductory course as well as for independent study. -- Carmen Pena Díaz, professor of translation studies, University of AlcaláThis book will be a good resource for those interested in learning about PSIT; it can be used a textbook and also for self-studying. Carmen Valero provides much practical, useful information, covering a wide range of countries and languages that will be welcome by those first approaching this area. In addition to placing PSIT within the wider field of translation and interpreting, the books reviews the origins of PSIT and its historical development in various countries, contextualizing it within its social, political and economic setting; it also cover ethics, methodology and basic principles and definitions. The issue of minority rights and equal access, often overlooked in translation textbooks, is also discussed. Perhaps the most useful and innovative contribution is the wealth of activities, exercises, commentaries and situations that are included. Entertaining and extremely useful, the commentaries and situations ground the discussion and help the student relate it to everyday life, but more importantly, help the reader understand the pragmatic, communicative and cross-cultural basis of PSIT in very concrete terms. -- Sonia Colina, PhD, professor of Spanish and Portuguese, University of ArizonaThis book is the expert linguist companion. It’s the interlinguistic and intercultural communication guide for professional interpreters, translators and even seasoned trainers. I’m recommending this book to all our colleagues and students to witness the birth and development of our field. Professor Valero uses her authority to portrait the foundations that will support the standardization of our profession. -- Denis Socarrás-Estrada, PhD Candidate, interpreter trainer, University of AlcaláProf. Carmen Valero is a national and international reference when it comes to Translation and Interpretation in Public Services. This book is one of the few that addresses the issue from a great variety of theoretical angles whilst offering practical activities for teachers and trainee translators and interpreters. The Spanish version of this book is a classic in Translation and Interpretation libraries throughout Spain and I am sure that the English version will be equally successful! -- Maribel del Pozo Triviño, PhD, lecturer at the University of VigoWe are delighted to recommend the book Communicating Across Cultures: A Coursebook on Interpreting and Translating in Public Services and Institutions by Dr. Carmen Valero-Garcés, and to write these lines on its behalf. Dr. Valero is a leading and pioneer scholar in public services translation and interpreting in Spain. Her publications on this topic are a reference, as well as the specialized master she coordinates. This book, Communicating Across Cultures: A Coursebook on Interpreting and Translating in Public Services and Institutions is extensively used in training programmes, and its publication in English is undoubtedly a step forward. -- Francisco Raga and Dora Sales, senior lecturers, coordinators of course on intercultural mediation and interpreting in healthcare contexts, Jaume I University, CastellónTable of ContentsPREFACE CHAPTER I INTERLINGUISTIC COMMUNICATION: INTRODUCTION TO INTERPRETING AND TRANSLATION CHAPTER II PUBLIC SERVICE INTERPRETING AND TRANSLATION: THE CURRENT SITUATION CHAPTER III FUNDAMENTALS OF PUBLIC SERVICE INTERPRETING AND TRANSLATION CHAPTER IV INTRODUCTION TO PUBLIC SERVICE INTERPRETING: TRAINING AND PRACTICE CHAPTER V INTRODUCTION TO PUBLIC SERVICE TRANSLATION CHAPTER VI GENERAL BIBLIOGRAPHY FOR PUBLIC SERVICE INTERPRETING AND TRANSLATION INDEX

University Press of America An Introduction to Ancient Greek
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThis Introduction to Ancient Greek is a remarkable work. It will certainly accomplish what ordinary Greek primers do—and then go far beyond. As a Greek primer, it combines the necessary rote learning with rational rules for the formation of words and the composition of sentences, in such a way that students may often infer facts that they would be likely to forget. Together with enticing, well-annotated Greek selections, an interesting vocabulary, and helpful appendices, students are empowered to read real Greek very soon. Meanwhile the Introduction goes beyond this preliminary task of Greek competence to encourage reflection on language. It accomplishes this thinking by means of a thoughtful reworking of the traditional grammatical categories; thus it encourages such questions as; How do Greek linguistic structures differ from English ones, and with what effect on the conveyance of meaning? How, more generally, are the formalisms of language related to the expression of meaning, and how, in turn, is expressible meaning related to internal thinking? The Introduction will work both for a student’s self-study and for the classroom. The single learner, who wants to acquire Greek for its intelligent beauty and for access to its incomparable texts, will find copious help, while the classroom teacher will possess a tool for turning a weary slog into a vivid experience. -- Eva Brann, St. John's College, AnnapolisTable of ContentsPart One: Grammar Lesson One Lesson Two Lesson Three Lesson Four Lesson Five Lesson Six Lesson Seven Lesson Eight Lesson Nine Lesson Ten Lesson Eleven Lesson Twelve Lesson Thirteen Lesson Fourteen Lesson Fifteen Lesson Sixteen Lesson Seventeen Lesson Eighteen Lesson Nineteen Lesson Twenty Part Two: Readings Vocabulary I Plato, Meno II.

Oxford University Press Inc Newman and Gadamer
Book SynopsisThomas K. Carr examines the religious epistemology of John Henry Newman alongside the philosophical hermeneutics of Hans-Georg Gadamer. The two writers are found to cover a surprising amount of common ground: They make similar claims, and they fall into similar errors. A critical examination of four of Newman''s leading ideas -- first principles, antecedent probability, doctrinal development, and the illative sense -- are compared with such Gadamerian themes as self-understanding, Bildung, projection, tradition, and the fusion of horizons. Carr concludes with a constructive proposal that applies a Newman-Gadamer synthesis to questions about knowledge of God.

Widely recognized biblical scholar Joel Green demonstrates both the practice of theological interpretation and the fruitfulness of this approach to reading biblical texts, providing students with helpful ways of wrestling with knotty interpretive issues. He also explores how theological inquiry can coexist with rigorous academic study of the Bible.Table of ContentsIntroduction1. Living Faithfully in Exile: Who Reads the Bible Well?2.
