Abstract:

Over the past thirty years, scholars have made significant advances in
understanding how human communication functions. They have moved from looking
for meaning in texts alone to seeing texts as providing clues that lead
hearers to discover the speaker's intended meaning. Hearers use other inputs
as well - things they already know, information from the speech environment -
as they search to understand not only what the words of the text say but also
what the speaker is communicating. All this has significant implications for
Bible translation.

Bible Translation Basics accomplishes two things: 1) it expresses these
theoretical developments in communication at a basic level in non-technical
language, and 2) it applies these developments to the task of Bible
translation in very practical ways. Tried and tested around the world, people
with a secondary school education or higher are able to understand how
communication works and apply those insights to communicating Scripture to
their audiences. Bible Translation Basics helps translators work with language
communities to determine the kind of Scripture product(s) that are most
relevant for them, given their abilities and preferences.
