Description
Book SynopsisThis book intends to present the challenges and new perspectives in the field of
translation studies in parallel with the improvements in the academic and scientific
world with a specific focus on the themes of translation studies, ecocriticism,
subtitling, retranslation, feminist and queer translation, descriptive translation
studies, text mining, multimodality in translation, and legal translation. While
presenting such wide-ranging research and analyses from various points of view of
outstanding scholars in Turkey, our greatest wish is to build a common ground on
which to build discussions in order to contribute to the ongoing studies in the field.
