BOOK REVIEW ON LANGUAGE(S) AND TRANSLATION BY MOHAMMED JADIR

This book includes a selection of ten contributions exposing the interactions between the sciences of language and translation studies, some of which were presented at the International Scientific Event “Langage(s) et Traduction” which took place on April 19th and 20th, 2018 in Casablanca, Morocco and which was organized by our Laboratory “Languages, Literatures and Translation” (LALITRA). The other contributions came in response to a direct call from specialist colleagues in one or other of the subjects addressed in this collective book. All the chapters in this book focus on the concepts of Language and Speech and how they can be manipulated for different purposes and from different angles. Some chapters highlight the use of Language to express different literary purposes and reflect different literary genres. Other chapters insist that the manipulation of language in the translation process by translators from different cultures can eventually alter the original content of a book, while some chapters overview different methodological approaches that are applied in different translation theories. Finally, some chapters, based on experimental studies, suggest new ways of teaching foreign languages for young learners by giving priority to practicing language rather than learning about language.
