Row, Row, Row Your Translation Boat Gently Down the Terminology Stream

Abstract

The first part of this Master’s thesis focuses on the differences between rowing terminology in English and Dutch and the problems these differences pose for translating rowing texts by establishing the origins and history of (organized) rowing and through a concise terminology research. The second part consists of an annotated translation of The book of Rowing by David C. Churbuck to put the research questions and the terminology research into practice.
