This course provides an introduction to the distinctive language features of Chinese and English and aims at highlighting the mechanics of translation as a process of linguistic transfer. Topics include phrase and clause structure and semantic-syntax interface in both Chinese and English. Emphasis will be placed on inculcating an appreciation of language differences in students and helping them develop critical language analysis competencies so that they can approach translation issues from various angles of contrastive language structure and use. The course will be the foundation course which prepares students for other courses of Minor in Translation programme.
