商品簡介
Masiola (English and translation, U. for Foreigners of Perugia, Italy) and Tomei (Ethiopian English, U. of Addis Ababa and Jamaican English, U. of the West Indies, Kingston) takes the naming of plants as an example to explore how postcolonial literature interacts with contact and indigenous languages, pidgins, and Creoles. They focus on the problems translators encounter when faced with vernacular phytonyms or a cultural system that is remote from that of the receiving culture. Their topics are the inner circle of standards in botanical nomenclature, the outer circle or periphery of otherness and heterogeneity, hybridization and circulation in the contact zone and translation, trans-plants in translation, and plants in the Garden of God. The price is 39.99 British pounds. Annotation c2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
