What Notions of General Linguistics Should Be Taught to MA Students in Translation Studies and Conference Interpreting?

Summary/Abstract: The following article raises an increasingly topical question : what fundamental linguistic knowledge do translator and interpreter trainees need in order to become qualified professionals ?

Further, we examine existing theories on the link between linguistics and translation studies and we try to determine adequate pedagogical means to enhance students’ awareness of the role linguistics play in the translation process.
