The nature of this course is theoretical as well as practical. Students will study the works of relevant theorists and translators and then proceed to apply in practice the most relevant theories. The texts used for translation from English into French will be analyzed not only to expose their textual aspects, i.e. the morpho-syntactical and stylistic qualities, but also their complex situational framework, the interlingual and intercultural "discourse". These aspects clearly show the translator to be a participant in a much broader communicative activity than the merely textual and discourages the over dependence on the traditional linguistic model of translation. Topics such as culture and language mediation will be considered. To strengthen student-awareness of cognitive processes, pairs of students will be encouraged to use Think-Aloud Protocols (TAP) whenever possible./ Ce cours est 脿 la fois th茅orique et pratique. L'茅tudiant est d'abord appel茅 脿 se pencher sur les travaux de certains th茅oriciens et traducteurs, puis 脿 mettre en pratique les th茅ories les plus utiles. Les textes 脿 traduire d'anglais en fran莽ais seront soumis 脿 une analyse visant 脿 en d茅gager les particularit茅s textuelles (propri茅t茅s morphosyntaxiques et stylistiques), mais aussi le contexte situationnel complexe, le 芦 discours 禄 interlingue et interculturel. Ce travail vise 脿 montrer clairement que le traducteur participe 脿 une activit茅 de communication dont la port茅e d茅passe tr猫s largement la simple dimension textuelle, pr茅venant ainsi le recours abusif au mod猫le linguistique classique de la traduction. Certains sujets comme la m茅diation culturelle et linguistique seront abord茅s. Pour leur permettre de se familiariser avec les processus cognitifs, les 茅tudiants seront dans la mesure du possible regroup茅s par deux et encourag茅s 脿 privil茅gier la r茅flexion 脿 voix haute.
