It is generally agreed that knowledge plays an important role in
translation and interpreting and that it should therefore be of
central concern to translation and interpreting studies. However,
there is no general agreement about what is actually meant by the
term 'knowledge' in this context, nor about in exactly what ways it
is relevant. Also, present-day translation and interpreting studies
offer only a limited amount of research specifically dedicated to
knowledge systematization and other knowledge-related issues. This
book is one of the first to systematically and exclusively address
the question of knowledge in translation and interpreting. It is a
collection of papers by leading scholars both from the field of
translation and interpreting and from adjacent fields where
knowledge also plays an important role, such as linguistics and
computer science. The experts present a wide variety of conceptions
of knowledge and a number of different approaches to the study of
knowledge in translation and interpreting: some of them draw on
concepts such as scenes and frames, mental spaces and semantic
networks, some discuss knowledge systems from an ontological point
of view, and some present more general concepts of knowledge in
translation and interpreting. Along the same lines, some of the
contributors deal mainly with theoretical and conceptual aspects,
others focus on methodological issues, and again others report on
empirical studies. What brings them together, however, is their
common focus on the interface between knowledge and
translation/interpreting, and their main achievement is that, by
joining forces, they manage to present to their readers a
state-of-the-art report which offers both a clearer delimitation of
the concept of knowledge and a better understanding of its role in
translation and interpreting.
