Translation and Intercultural Transfer in Popular Music
This book with the title "Translation and Intercultural
Transfer in Popular Music: Juliane Werding's CD 'Star
Collection'" is a study with empirical character. It deals
with English or American original texts of popular music, that have
been translated into German. At first, scientific methods of
translating lyrics are introduced. Subsequently, seven songs in
German language of Juliane Werding's CD are analysed and
interpreted according to these methods. Furthermore, they are
compared to their appropriate original texts in English language.
This book does not only face up to the language, but also to the
intercultural circumstances and differences. Language can never
stand alone, it always has to be embedded into a cultural
relationship.
