     TRANSLATION INTO THE SECOND LANGUAGE
     STUART CAMPBELL

     Paper 0 582 30188 2
     224 pages    1998
     Applied Linguistics and Language Study Series
     Longman

     The dynamics of immigration, international commerce and the
     postcolonial world make it inevitable that much translation is done
     into a second language, despite the prevailing wisdom that translators
     should only work into their mother tongue.  This book is the first
     study to explore the phenomenon of translation into a second language
     in a way that will interest applied linguists, translators and
     translation teachers, and ESOL teachers working with advanced level
     students.  Rather than seeing translation into a second language as
     deficient output, this study adopts an interlanguage framework to
     consider L2 translation as the product of developing competence;
     learning to translate is seen as a special variety of second language
     acquisition.  Through carefully worked case studies, separate
     components of translation competence are identified, among them the
     ability to create stylistically authentic texts in English, the
     ability to monitor and edit output, and the psychological attitudes
     that the translator brings to the task.  While the case studies mainly
     deal with Arabic speakers undergoing translator training in Australia,
     the conclusions will have implications for translation into a second
     language, especially English, around the world.

     'Translation into the Second Language' is firmly grounded in empirical
     research, and in this regard it serves as a stimulus and a
     methodological guide for further research. It will be a valuable
     addition for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of
     applied linguistics, translation theory, bilingualism and second
     language acquisition as well as those involved in teaching or
     practising translation at a professional level.

     Stuart Campbell Associate Professor in Language Studies, and Director
     of the Language Acquisition Research Centre at the University of
     Western Sydney Macarthur.
