Taylor & Francis Researching Translation and Interpreting
Book SynopsisThis volume offers a comprehensive view of current research directions in Translation and Interpreting Studies, outlining the theoretical concepts underpinning that research and presenting detailed discussions of the various methods used. Organized around three factors that are responsible for shaping the study of translation and interpreting todayâpost-positivist theoretical approaches, developments in the language industry, and technological innovationsâthis volume is divided into three parts: Part I introduces the basic concepts organizing translation and interpreting research, such as the difference between qualitative and quantitative research, between product-oriented and process-oriented studies, and between prescriptive and descriptive approaches. Part II provides a theoretical mapping of current translation and interpreting research, covering the theories underlying the current conceptualization of translation and interpreting, Trade Review"In this book, Angelelli and Baer provide a detailed map for conducting research in translation and interpreting studies, from basic concepts through the most complex theories. Clear and concise in its approach, this is a must buy for all students and scholars of translation and interpreting." - Edwin Gentzler, University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA "It presents a comprehensive view of current research directions in Translating and Interpreting Studies, outlines the theoretical concepts underpinning that research, and presents detailed discussions of the various methods used ... What strikes me most about Researching Translation and Interpreting is the book’s coherent organization and structure … A second positive feature is that the text is extremely reader-friendly … Third, a wide range of source materials and research topics are covered in the discussion." - Hua Song, Xiamen University, China "It is fair to say that Researching Translation and Interpreting is exceptionally useful to those with at least some background in the field of TIS or linguistics in general" - Jakub E.

Taylor & Francis Language and Neoliberalism
Book SynopsisLanguage and Neoliberalism examines the ways in which neoliberalism, or economic liberalism, finds expression in language. In this groundbreaking original study, Holborow shows at once the misleading character of ideological meaning and the underlying social reality from which that meaning emerges.In universities, it is now the norm to use terms like entrepreneurial and business partnerships. How have these terms become a core component of education and gained such force? Markets have become, metaphorically, a power in their own right. They now tell governments how to act and warn them against too much public spending. Post-crash, the capitalist market continues to be crisis-prone and in that context the neoliberal ideology remains contested.Free of jargon and assuming no specialist knowledge, this book will strike a chord internationally by showing how neoliberal ideology has, literally, gone global in languageTrade Review'An acute, imaginative piece of discourse analysis which reveals in tenacious detail just how deeply our language has been contaminated by the dehumanising idiom of the corporations' Terry Eagleton, University of Lancaster, UK'Holborow raises the bar for studies of language and political economy. She applies subtle Marxist analyses to how keywords linked to markets and entrepreneurialism are shaping an ever-increasing number of spheres and activities. She provocatively asks when, how and if metaphors of market and commodity—including uses by critical scholars—challenge neoliberal ideologies. This book is a crucial read for applied linguists, sociolinguists, linguistic anthropologists, and anyone interested in the role of language in ideologies that justify or obscure or try to make commonsensical exploitative economic relations.' Bonnie McElhinny, University of Toronto, Canada'...the book is a notable contribution to the study of neoliberalism as a political as well as an economic project, and its emphatic distinction ‘between the ideological representation of the world and … the real experience of class conflict’ (130) constitutes, amongst other forms of praxis, a crucial dimension of ‘the much needed challenge to neoliberalism’ (131) – a challenge that many of our more ‘fashionable’ theories are unable to present.'

Taylor & Francis The Routledge Handbook of Chinese Discourse
Book SynopsisChinese is a discourse-oriented language and the underlying mechanisms of the language involve encoding and decoding so the language can be correctly delivered and understood. To date, there has been a lack of consolidation at the discourse level such that a reference framework for understanding the language in a top-down fashion is still underdeveloped. The Routledge Handbook of Chinese Discourse Analysis is the first to showcase the latest research in the field of Chinese discourse analysis to consolidate existing findings, put the language in both theoretical and socio-functional perspectives, offer guidance and insights for further research and inspire innovative ideas for exploring the Chinese language in the discourse domain. The book is aimed at both students and scholars researching in the areas of Chinese linguistics and discourse analysis.Trade Review'... the handbook showcases the latest quality studies of contemporary Chinese discourse, providing a comprehensive and systematic discussion of research approaches (mainly qualitative methodologies), language features of and the social functions constructed in various genres and through various channels in the Chinese contexts, as well as their conventions and norms of practice. Making an important contribution to the field of Chinese discourse studies, the handbook will certainly play a strong role to inspire more research studies in this area. As such, it is of interest to both students and scholars who work in the area of discourse and communication studies of Chinese language, society and culture.' - Yuan ke Li, School of Foreign Studies, South China Normal University, P.R.
