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 today-post-positivist theoretical
approaches, developments in the language industry, and
technological innovations-this 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, from queer studies to cognitive science. Part III
explores the key methodological approaches to research in
Translation and Interpreting Studies, including corpus-based,
longitudinal, observational, and ethnographic studies, as well as
survey and focus group-based studies. The international range of
contributors are all leading research experts who use the
methodologies in their work. They present the research aims of
these methods, offer sample research questions that can-and
cannot-be addressed by these methods, and discuss modes of data
collection and analysis. This is an essential reference for all
advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers in
Translation and Interpreting Studies.
