Description

Book Synopsis

This 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. Marszalenko, Nagoya University of Foreign Studies
