- Lettorato John Gilbert: Course in Translation of various text types in English.
  This is a full-year course (both semesters) and will be organized primarily as a practical workshop dealing with the translation from Italian into English of different text types, focusing mainly on non-narrative academic and journalistic texts as well as some narrative texts. Particular attention will be given to translation strategies based on contrastive grammatical analysis, lexical choice and the use of language corpora, dictionary usage, questions of style, and the concepts of equivalence and cultural untranslatability. There is no textbook. Monolingual and bilingual dictionaries are required and should be used in class (in paper or electronic form). Exercises and texts for translation will be posted on moodle. There will be a written midterm exam at the end of the first semester and a final written exam at the end of the course, both consisting of a passage to translate into English. Passing the midterm exam is necessary before being able to do the final exam.
- Ricevimento: Wednesdays at 11 am in Room 207 Via Santa Reparata 93 or by appointment john.gilbert@unifi.it.
