The seminar will focus on the theory and practice of translating specialised texts,
especially legal and quasi-legal ones. In the first stage, participants will mostly build on
and consolidate their knowledge of selected contemporary translation theories and
appropriate research methodologies. Moreover, discussions during the seminar group
meetings will concentrate on such issues as (the language-specific and culture-specific
difficulties in) achieving equivalence in LSP translation, translating terminology,
strategies and techniques applied in the case of translating LSP texts, using corpora in
translation studies etc. Following the introductory stage, students will prepare research
proposals and work on individual MA projects, preferably devoted to subject matters
discussed in the framework of the seminar.
