Annotated Bibliography Introduction:
This annotated bibliography represents a first attempt to compile a comprehensive overview of current research on issues related to Applied Linguistics It is intended to be a resource for BA and MA students who are engaged in Applied Linguistics as an interdisciplinary field of study. The sources included in the bibliography address central topics related to Applied Linguistics such as translation, teaching translation, translation assessment, pragmatics and linguistics. It focuses on key sources, and provides an up‐to date overview of articles to highlight the most significant issues
Annotations: 1- Bell, R. T., & Candlin, C. (1991). Translation and Translating: Theory and Practice. London: Longman.
The book aims at identifying the conflicts between the translations theorists and linguists. This book outlines the necessary knowledge of a translator, who must have the ability to translate without hindering the originality of S.T and T.T. The book is divided into three parts: Model, Meaning and Memory. Model is an introduction to the nature of translation. It also highlights some aspects of translation: the fidelity of the translator the skills and technique that the translator should follow while translating and the manner of translation And then in Meaning, there is the quest for meaning — the traditional word and sentence meaning , the semantic sense and grammar. The final segment is the Memory part. It takes care of the specific issue of the text-processing and the storage & retrieval of information. It deals with the typology of texts, and analyzing of texts.

Applied Linguistics in Action: A Reader presents students with an applied linguistics framework for the analysis of real-world language problems. Part One brings together seven key discussions of the nature of contemporary applied linguistics including issues like: the politics of applied linguistics, its responses to globalisation, and its relation to social theory. Part Two demonstrates how principles can be applied to a range of specific real-world problems. It is essential reading for advanced level undergraduates and postgraduates on Applied Linguistics as it develops both the theoretical and empirical skills crucial to the practicalities of language teaching. 3- Cook, G.

Teaching and Researching Translation is divided into four major parts. In Section I (chapters 1 – 6), Hatim outlines the history, fundamental concepts, and key research issues in (TS). Section II (chapters7 – 13) presents a number of research models with special reference to translation teaching and “three major aspects of how texts function and how they get translated”. Section III (chapters14– 15) offers a variety of suggestions for developing new communication – oriented methods in the fast – growing field of translation – based research. Section IV (chapter 16) then provides a number of links and resources for translators. The book concludes with a “Glossary of text linguistics and translation terms, an extensive listing of References. This second edition has several new chapters.

The book begins with a critical analysis of the problems facing modern translator education, Kiraly presents a survey of new approaches in translation teaching and a discussion of the contributions second language education theory and practice can make to translation education. He then attempts to chart a course to more effective translator education using an innovative socio-cognitive model of the translation process and the results of an empirical study of the differences between professional and non-professional translators. Pathways to Translation provides in extensive detail the research background of the empirical study, including previous work in the psychology of translation and a research method known as the think8
aloud protocol (TAP). In his final chapter Kiraly proposes some new directions for more effective translation teaching and learning. Malmkjær, K. (2005).

This book is for students of translation, languages and linguistics. Chapters tackle the development of translation studies in the west and the contemporary approaches to translation provide the disciplinary context within which the processes and products of translating are studied. It also offers the theoretical and academic knowledge of the subject with five practical chapters cover sounds and rhythms, lexis, collocation and semantic prosody, texture, register, cohesion, coherence, implications, speech and text acts, text and genre analysis and transitivity. Each chapter provides examples for analysis. Examples are drawn mainly from Danish, English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. The book can be used at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

This textbook is designed to introduce students, researchers and practitioners to the relatively new, and now fast developing, discipline of Interpreting Studies. The book is organized into three parts. The first talks about foundations including concepts, evolution, approaches, paradigms and models of translation. It traces the evolution of the field, reviewing influential concepts, models and methodological approaches. The second part contains selected topics and research including the
11
process of research, areas of research, the research as a product and some practices on translation. It ends up with a bibliography and internet link useful for further study. Pym, A. (2010).

A 186-page textbook offers an informative tour of the main development of the translation theory from the traditional, equivalence-based approaches to the philosophical paradigm ''cultural translation''. It includes suggested projects and activities at the end of each chapter, a 12-page bibliography. It is designed to be a university textbook, a guide for self-study or even an introduction to the field. The first chapter explains how translating can lead to theories. The second chapter studies the paradigm of ''natural equivalence'' In the third chapter a second equivalence-based paradigm: ''directional equivalence.'' Is introduced. In chapter 4, discussion shifted to the purpose-based paradigms, it gives a brief overview of the main purpose-based approaches. In the fifth chapter, we are introduced to the Descriptive paradigms. Chapter 6 focuses on the ''uncertainty'' paradigm. Chapter 7 examines the ''localization'' paradigm. In the final full chapter, the ''cultural translation” is discussed. The book presents a comprehensive analysis of the paradigms of translation studies. It is designed for classroom use and personal study or as an introduction to the field. Nonetheless, the book tends to concentrate on written translation rather than Translation Studies as a whole. [http://www.tinet.cat/~apym/publications/ETT/index.html].
