{"product_id":"9781483689272","title":"FOREIGN VOICES: Lessons From Colonial Era Literature About Rendering Multilingual Dialogue","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Today's fiction is increasingly populated by multilingual urban societies in all their rich cultural variety,\" contends Bernard Botes Krüger, making a persuasive case that \"readers need to 'hear' authentic sounding dialogue from the mouths of foreign-language characters-something which mere translations into standard English can never adequately accomplish.\" The concept of foreign-language dialogue in fiction is not new; many accomplished authors of the past have used a variety of subtle techniques to help their readers understand instances of 'foreign' dialogue. However, those techinues have never been thoroughly isolated and examined-until now. Using Britain's 'Colonial Era' literature as a starting point in this work, the author discusses and systematically catagorizes every type of 'device' used in the past, assembling in the process a veritible toolbox of techniques which aspiring writers can implement to enrich their multilingual dialogue.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47125889417456,"sku":"9781483689272","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781483689272_p0.jpg?v=1763631722","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781483689272","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
