Based on your teaching experience, which books do you recommend for teaching 'Stylistics for Translators' to undergraduate students?
This is a good one to start with:
Thinking English Translation: Analysing and Translating English Source Texts by Stella Cragie and Ann Pattison.
Link: https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/10.4324/9781315229478/thinking-english-translation-stella-cragie-ann-pattison
It is structured around the core levels of stylistic analysis (lexis, grammar, register, text type, cohesion, pragmatics) and each chapter provides clear theoretical explanation followed by numerous practical exercises and texts for translation. It bridges the gap between theory and practice seamlessly. It's accessible for undergraduates without being simplistic.
Thank you for the recommendation!
Unfortunately, I noticed that it's not available for download. Could you please share a copy or suggest a website where I might be able to download it for free?

Douglas Robinson’s “Becoming a Translator” is a very good reader friendly book for translation students. It provides both external and internal view on translation process and product, linking well theoretical and practical knowledge alongised with plenty of examles and hands-on exercises. A pdf version is available as well.
