Hi,
I am a student of Translation Studies.
One of my modules this semester is Translation Theory. We have to write an essay on any topic related to Translation Theory (5000 words).
I have a personal interest in sports and would like to combine the topic of translation with the topic of sport.
Does anybody have any ideas for a research question?
I would be very grateful for some help.

In memoriam | Translation and interpreting in football: article in journal | Feb 16, 2008 |
There was an article in the latest edition of "The Linguist" (journal of The Chartered Institute of Linguists, UK) by Dan Brennan (a ProZ member) on the subject of translating and interpreting as it affects footballers, and in particular football managers. Dan runs an agency which specializes in this subject. If this is a subject that interests you, you could send him a message via his ProZ prof...

If this is a subject that interests you, you could send him a message via his ProZ profile page - http://www.proz.com/profile/37246 - he might be willing to help.
P.S. I could send you a copy of the article if you contact me via my profile.

Hope it helps, even if just a bit. ▲ Collapse
