This book is intended as a companion in the true sense of the work to those interested in an introduction to the broad fields of discourse analysis and translation. The book contains eight chapters that explore various aspects of language, how to analyse it and also how to approach its translation. Each chapter contains input on a specific topic such as Chapter One “Language Change” and links are provided to video material and further resources for independent study. The approach to the content is inductive, which means asking the reader to stop and think.
