Taylor & Francis Ltd Clarity and Coherence in Academic Writing
Book SynopsisThis book presents a lively, rich, and concise introduction to the key concepts and tools for developing clarity and coherence in academic writing. Well-known authors and linguists David Nunan and Julie Choi argue that becoming an accomplished writer is a career-long endeavor. They describe and provide examples of the linguistic procedures that writers can draw on to enhance clarity and coherence for the reader. Although the focus is on academic writing, these procedures are relevant for all writing. This resource makes complex concepts accessible to the emergent writer and illustrates how these concepts can be applied to their own writing. The authors share examples from a wide range of academic and non-academic sources, from their own work, and from the writing of their students. In-text projects and tasks invite you, the reader, to experiment with principles and ideas in developing your identity and voice as a writer.Trade Review'This volume, produced with the input of students, performs what it proclaims: clarity and coherence about academic writing. The authors demonstrate how academic writing works and how it can be acquired. The volume is also excellent in its serious treatment of the concept of ‘language as a resource’. The field of academic language studies has needed this book for a long time.'Joseph Lo Bianco, Professor, University of Melbourne, Australia'This book offers what every academic could wish for—an empathetic older brother and sister extending their helping hand to the struggling writer of academic English prose. Not just rules and advice, but concrete examples of revisions and rewrites. Not to relieve your guilt feelings, but to help you reach your intended audience in the most forceful way. Not recipes, but explorations of your writing process. Writing as a way of discovering what you really think—and who you really are. I wish I could have had such a book at the beginning of my writing career.'Claire Kramsch, Professor Emerita University of California, Berkeley, USA'The authors invite you as readers to engage with how academic texts are crafted, to consider how you tackle the process of writing, and to reflect on your own writing. The book is about being a writer, as much as it is about academic writing.'From the Foreword by Debra Myhill, Professor, University of Exeter, UKTable of Contents1. What Every Writer Should Know About Language 2. Only Connect 3. Product and Process Approaches to Writing 4. Audience and Purpose 5. Towards Active Voice 6. Using Figurative Language 7.

Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) Researching Translation in the Age of Technology
Book SynopsisMona Baker is one of the leading figures in the development of translation studies as an academic discipline. This book brings together fifteen of her most influential articles, carefully selected and grouped under three main topics that represent her most enduring contributions to the field: corpus-based translation studies, translation as renarration and translators in society. These applications and approaches have been widely adopted by translation scholars around the globe.The first section showcases Baker's pioneering work in introducing corpus linguistics methodologies to the field of translation studies, which established one of the fastest growing subfields in the discipline. The second section focuses on her application of narrative theory and the notion of framing to the study of translation and interpreting, and her contribution to demonstrating the various ways in which translators and interpreters intervene in the negotiation of social and political reality. TheTrade ReviewThis collection of Mona Baker’s scholarly contributions illustrates the eclectic range of her thinking and the sheer excitement of her academic trajectory - corpus studies to socio-narrative theory, to activist translation. With this exciting collection, disciplines beyond translation will be challenged to see how translational approaches widen and subvert the questions they traditionally ask. Hilary Footitt, University of Reading, UK.A genealogy of ideas as well as a cartography of possibilities, Researching Translation chronicles the 'future echoes', to borrow Steiner's phrase, not only of corpus linguistics' practicality for our field but narrative's role as a fruitful interdisciplinary approach and as a force for change and community-building in the world, including in activism, prefigurative practice, social movements, and situations of conflict. At their core the thematics here have in common the specificities of language phenomena with which the translator and interpreter must contend as 'intervenient beings', as Carol Maier called them. This is a vital book for finding historical clarity, research orientation, and personal inspiration.Kelly Washbourne, Kent State University, USATable of ContentsList of figuresList of tablesPreface by Theo HermansPreface Part I: Corpus-based translation studiesIntroduction by Frederico Zanettin(1) 1993. ‘Corpus Linguistics and Translation Studies: Implications and Applications’, in Mona Baker, Gill Francis and Elena Tognini-Bonelli (eds) Text and Technology: In Honour of John Sinclair, Amsterdam & Philadelphia: John Benjamins, 233-250.
