Bridging boundaries between systemic functional linguistics and translation studies: An interview with Erich Steiner (Part II)

Abstract

Erich Steiner, as a leading scholar in systemic functional linguistics (SFL), has been involved in various important strands of research on SFL and translation. is transcript is based on the second part of the interview during his visit to Hong Kong. We continue to discuss the application of SFL to translation, covering topics like SFL and other functionalist theories of translation, the tools for translation contributed by functionally-oriented work, and translation as a method for language teaching. In addition, Steiner summarizes the contributions of SFL to translation, and introduces some possibilities for future research.
