Between English and Arabic: A Practical Course in Translation
This book does not attempt a new theory of translation, but rather
an introductory course for students of translation. It is designed to
improve understanding of translation between Arabic and English. The
book draws upon contrastive linguistics. Contrastive linguistics is a
linguistic study of two languages, aiming to identify differences
between them. Contrastive linguistics is a relatively modern discipline
which began to develop in the 1930s, and the American linguist Benjamin
Lee Whorf (1941: 240) foresaw its place as a successor to the
comparative study of languages.
