Introduction

This book is a revised version of a course in translation methodology taught mainly to third-and fourth-year undergraduates of Spanish at the University of St Andrews. A course of this type was first designed for students of French; the French-English version was published by Routledge in 1992 under the title of Thinking Translation. However, long before this publication, parallel courses were also developed for German-English and Spanish-English. These courses are also currently taught at St Andrews.
