Multi-Disciplinary 1 Day National Seminar
Translation in Contemporary Scenario
28 April, 2014
Translation studies as an independent genre/discipline is gaining currency in the wake of spread of knowledge. The constantly increasing love and demand for translation the world over as brought about a sea change in the concept and character of translation. From linguistic to textual and moving on to present cultural theories on translation studies, the debate of translation is raising fresh questions on translation. Hence, words like translation, transliteration, transcreation, substitution or transference of content/ meaning from source language to target language need to be understood in the right perspective. To deliberate on such vital issues related to translation, the Dept. of English is organising 1-Day National Seminar on 28 April 2014 as per following details.
