Empirical Translation Studies: New Methodological and Theoretical Traditions

by Gert De Sutter (Editor), Marie-Aude Lefer (Editor), Isabelle Delaere (Editor)

Overview

The present volume is devoted to the study of language use in translated texts as a function of various linguistic, contextual and cognitive factors. It contributes to the recent trend in empirical translation studies towards more methodological sophistication, including mixed methodology designs and multivariate statistical analyses, ultimately leading to a more accurate understanding of language use in translations.
