Descrizione

Linking Wor(l)ds is aimed at Italian university students of English language and translation. Key linguistic concepts are explained and exemplified in order to analyse the structure of words, their lexical and sense relations, word classes, phrases and sentences. Students will also examine a variety of linguistic problems that may arise when there is no direct equivalence between English and Italian as source and target languages. Each chapter contains examples from a wide range of texts as well as language activities and translation tasks. A useful glossary defining linguistic terminology is also provided together with a key for self-study. This third edition contains new examples, new translation tasks and an updated bibliography.
