'Text sample:CHAPTER SEVEN: TEXT LINGUISTICS:
Introduction and definition:Translating is a multi - faceted activity, and there is room for a variety of perspectives. This might conceivably be seen as the fragmentation of the discipline, but evidence points the other way. The discipline is consolidating and has all but forgotten its humble, slightly diffident beginnings. Consider for example, how cultural studies and text linguistics, caches its own way, have recently begun to address this issue.
Text linguistics and discourse analysis after many decades of formal linguistics, became major sources of influence on translation in 1980s. Support for an interactive view of the following text, the development of fully - fledged text - linguistic models of the translation process. As far back as the late 1960s, James Horlmes questioned the usefulness of distingusiship between translation as product and translation as process.
According to Neubert (1984: 57) (Meaning is) the kingpin of translation studies. Without understanding what the text to be translated means the translator would be hopelessly lost, the translation scholar has to be a semanticist over and above every thing else. By semanticist we mean a semanticist of the text, not just of words, structure and sentences. The key concept for the semantics of translation is textual meaning.
Division of Texts:
Texts have long been divided into categories in a number of ways depending to some extent on the nature of the as requiring their division. For example, sociolinguists, who study language in relation too social factors, adopt a breakdown based on (international varieties, in tuned based on different peoples races and individuals speaking variations of the same basic language, or on gander, age, or social class lines.
Alternatively, it has been common practice within the international English teaching community, including the specialist schools of translation and interpreting, to divide texts according to

subject area and talk about bound text types:
A) literary texts.
B) Technical texts.
C) Legal language.
D) Commercial English.
E) Advertising copy etc.
This tendency has given rise to a plethora of acronym - labeled sub - types of language: LSP stands for language for special purposes, LMP stands for language Medical Purposes, BE stands for Business English and so on.
Written and Spoken text:
In terms of the spoken written division, the translator is most usually concerned with the written variety of language. The interpreter, who preceded the translator historically, deal with the spoken genre, although more often it is the written to be spoken ' type that emerges in conference situations. This section will therefore distinguish, in particular, the most important feature of spoken and written text.
A: Spoken Text:
The problems encountered with the notion of text as the verbal record of a communicative act become a good deal more complex when we consider what is meant by spoken text. The simplest view to assume is that a taperecording. Of a communicative act will preserve the text. The Tape-recording may also preserve a good deal that may be extraneous to the text- coughing, chairs, creaking, buses going past, the scratch of a match lighting a cigarette.
It must be further emphasized that however objective the notion of text may appear as we have defined it (the verbal record of a communicative act), the perception and interpretation of each text is essentially subjective. Different individuals pay attention to different aspects of texts. The content of the text appeals to them or fits into their experience differently.
In discussing texts we idealize away from this variability of the experiencing of the text and assume what Schultz (1961) has called, the reciprocity of perspective whereby we take it for granted that readers of a text or listeners to a text share the same exper
