Peter Newmark's fifth book on translation continues his series of articles in The Lingustics. He is as much concerned with the minutie of translation - capitalisation, square brackets, dashes - as with its perennial major issues: truth, beauty, morality, logic, language convergence, linguistic differences and culture. new ocuppations and technologies throw up a corresponding new number of translation topics and, again, a large number of translation examples in number of language match these topics.
