Kussmaul, Paul. 2007. Verstehen und Übersetzen. Ein Lehr- und Arbeitsbuch. Tübingen: Gunter Narr (collection Narr Studienbücher).

* Verstehen und Übersetzen (Comprehension and Translating) is a textbook which takes up a basic problem of translation, namely understanding the words of the source text. This is a main topic in translator training since miscomprehension of a source-language word will surely result in a mistranslation with sometimes amusing, sometimes severe consequences. On the basis of cognitive linguistics the book shows how to use comprehension techniques and strategies to overcome these problems, thus enabling students to translate professionally.
