upon all the major areas of Translation, with special emphasis on
Pedagogy (theories and methods), which is not much known and applied
by translators, and where controversies still abound. The research
analyses and explores all the theoretical and practical aspects
involved in the translation process and various approaches to verge
on the text to be translated, both in English and Urdu. The
framework for translation has been worked out from multiple and
diverse theories and models of translation and text linguistics
propounded by various theorists. It has been devised in a linear
order, beginning from text types, text descriptions, text
linguistics and processing, and ending with text production as
translation. The most crucial issue of Equivalence in translation
has been analyzed and applied, and various strategies, procedures
and tactical tools for translation have been suggested. The research
also unveils the current state of Urdu translation pedagogy and
process in Pakistan, and suggests ways for its improvement in the
light of the suggested theoretical matrix. The devised exhaustive
pedagogic framework is later applied to the content analysis of four
novels and the Questionnaire Survey, so that readers can see them in
operation and at the same time help to confirm the reliability and
validity of the devised theoretical framework and the recommended
strategies for translation. The research endeavors to suggest a
model translation curriculum, so as to lay down the foundation of
Translation Studies as a discipline at the post-graduate level in
all the public sector universities in Pakistan, in general and the
International Islamic University, Islamabad, in particular. This is
one of the pioneering work in Pakistan academia.Read More
