The course has as a further objective the development of translation skills and a comparison with the different text types. From a historical-methodological perspective, some elements of the main translation theories will be analyzed and the basic aspects of translation techniques will be presented, with particular regard to the methods prevalent in the practice of translating from French into Italian in the literary field.
