Translation For Specific Purposes

Authors : Hadj Djelloul Khadidja .

Abstract

Translating resources for the English-Arabic language combination are not as numerous as those found in other combinations, particularly as far as specialized terminology is concerned. Against this background, the present paper aims to shed some light on translation with the purpose of reflecting its importance and contribution in solving an existing problem. It gives a clear idea about the background of the applied area of translation studies. It also focuses on the contribution of both ESP and terminology in teaching specialized translation. The study, in hands, further tackles the main differences between the specific language and the literary one. Finally, it shows the different problems encountered by students and some basic suggestive implications. With this aim in mind, the paper focuses on the world of Politics, one of the main thematic areas at universities tending to generate specific texts and/or speeches which are usually translated from English into Arabic.
