Taylor & Francis Ltd Institutional Translation and Interpreting
Book SynopsisThis collection brings together new insights around current translation and interpreting practices in national and supranational settings. The book illustrates the importance of further reflection on issues around quality and assessment, given the increased development of resources for translators and interpreters. The first part of the volume focuses on these issues as embodied in case studies from a range of national and regional contexts, including Finland, Switzerland, Italy, Spain and the United States. The second part takes a broader perspective to look at best practices and questions of quality through the lens of international bodies and organizations and the shifting roles of translation and interpreting practitioners in working tomanage these issues.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Linguistic Claims and Political Conflicts
Book SynopsisThis book explores and assesses the multiple levels at which linguistic policies can be challenged, devised and enacted, i.e. sub-national, national and supranational, and the variety of state and non-state actors involved. Moving beyond descriptive and normative approaches, it provides an empirical comparative assessment of the policy responses and strategies deployed to deal with linguistic diversity and conflicts in Spain, a country where almost one third of the population is at least bilingual in their own languages. The Spanish case is then assessed within the European context, both from the perspective of multilevel influence and mutual interaction, and from the learning experiences it may entail for similar or equivalent problems and disputes occurring at the European level or beyond.This text will be of key interest to scholars and students of Spanish politics, linguistics, identity politics and more broadly of European politics and governance, public policy, eTable of Contents1. Introduction; 2. A conceptual framework; 3. Empirical contextualisation; 4. Linguistic claims in Spain: education, public space signalisation and audio-visual media; 5. Comparative analysis across issues and territories; 6. European institutions: framing linguistic conflicts in Spain?; 7. Conclusions

Taylor & Francis Multilingual Currents in Literature Translation and Culture
Book SynopsisAt a time increasingly dominated by globalization, migration, and the clash between supranational and ultranational ideologies, the relationship between language and borders has become more complicated and, in many ways, more consequential than ever. This book shows how concepts of âlanguageâ and âmultilingualismâ look different when viewed from Belize, Lagos, or London, and asks how ideas about literature and literary form must be remade in a contemporary cultural marketplace that is both linguistically diverse and interconnected, even as it remains profoundly unequal. Bringing together scholars from the fields of literary studies, applied linguistics, publishing, and translation studies, the volume investigates how multilingual realities shape not only the practice of writing but also modes of literary and cultural production. Chapters explore examples of literary multilingualism and their relationship to the institutions of publishing, translation, and canon-formation. They consider how literature can be read in relation to other multilingual and translational forms of contemporary cultural circulation and what new interpretative strategies such developments demand. In tracing the multilingual currents running across a globalized world, this book will appeal to the growing international readership at the intersections of comparative literature, world literature, postcolonial studies, literary theory and criticism, and translation studies.Table of ContentsChapter 1: IntroductionRachael Gilmour and Tamar SteinitzChapter 2: Writer Speaks with Forked Tongue: Interlingual Predicaments Steven G.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Multimodal Literacies Across Digital Learning
Book SynopsisThis collection critically considers the question of how learning and teaching should be conceived, understood, and approached in light of the changing nature of learning scenarios and new pedagogies in this current age of multimodal digital texts, practices, and communities.The book takes the concept of digital artifacts as being composed of multiple meaning-making semiotic resources, such as visuals, music, and design, as its point of departure to explore how diverse communities interact with these tools and develop and explore their understanding of digital practices in learning contexts. The first section of the volume examines different case studies in which involved participants learn to grapple with the introduction of digital tools for learning in children's early years of schooling. The second section extends the focus to secondary and higher education settings as digital learning tools grow more complex as do students, parents, and teachers' interactions with tTrade Review"During the early period of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the adoption of digital technologies in mainstream education was a response to a crisis – an emergent response, unplanned and less than ideal. In 2022, as we move into a more stable phase, many are recognizing this as a moment to ‘reimagine education’.With fourteen chapters and a solid introduction that investigate learning and teaching in the digital context, Multimodal Literacies Across Digital Learning Contexts has arrived in good time to contribute to the reimagining conversation." - Cheng-Wen Huang, Senior Lecturer, University of Cape Town Centre for Higher Education Development, South Africa, Multimodality & Society"Ranging from educational apps for preschool children to online university lectures and from critical software analyses to detailed curriculum and assessment proposals, this up to date and comprehensive collection will be an unmissable source of information and insight for anyone interested in the ever greater role of digital media and multimodal communication in education and learning generally." - Theo van Leeuwen, Professor of Language and Communication at the University of Southern Denmark and Honorary Professor at the University of New South Wales, AustraliaTable of ContentsMultimodal Literacies Across Digital Learning Contexts: An Open-Ended AgendaMaria Grazia Sindoni and Ilaria Moschini A Sensational Theory of Designed Experience: Replacement Parts for a Theory of Multimodality Qing Archer Zhang and James Paul Gee Pedagogies for Digital Learning: From Transpositional Grammar to the Literacies of Education Bill Cope and Mary Kalantzis Section A.
