‘The materials presented in Russian Translation: Theory and Practice provide a good

overview of general techniques of translation, illustrated by appropriate examples and

Russian Translation: Theory and Practice is a comprehensive practical course in transla-

tion for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of Russian. The course aims to

provide intensive exposure with a view to mastering translation from Russian into English

while carefully analyzing the specific problems that arise in the translation process.

Offering over 75 practical translation exercises and texts analyzed in detail to illustrate the

stage-by-stage presentation of the method, Russian Translation addresses translation issues

such as cultural differences, genre and translation goals. The book features material taken

from a wide range of sources, including:

• journalistic

• medical

• scholarly

• legal

• economic

• popular culture – literature (prose and poetry), media, internet, humour, music.

Central grammatical and lexical topics that will be addressed across the volume through the

source texts and target texts include: declensional and agreement gender; case usage; imper-

sonal constructions; verbal aspect; verbal government; word order; Russian word formation,

especially prefixation and suffixation; collocations and proverbs; and abbreviations.

Russian Translation: Theory and Practice is essential reading for all students seriously

interested in improving their translation skills.

assessment, as well as specimen answers, is available in PDF format from our website:
