The nuts and bolts of Arabic-English translation: an introduction to applied contrastive linguistics

This title is aimed primarily at undergraduate and postgraduate students of translation and contrastive linguistics across the world, as well as their instructors.

It does not confine itself to showing the differences between Arabic and English in terms of traditional grammar alone, but gently extends to the discussion of such issues as functional grammar, syntax, cohesion, semantics, pragmatics, cognitive linguistics, stylistics, text-typology, translation procedures, and, to a certain degree, translation theories.

It will serve to develop a professional translation competence in all essential areas in students and trainees by providing a suitably wide range of bidirectional practice materials for them and their teachers.
