In this interdisciplinary book, Juliane House breaks new ground by
situating translation within Applied Linguistics. In thirteen
chapters, she examines translation as a means of communication
across different languages and cultures, provides a critical
overview of different approaches to translation, of the link
between culture and translation, and between views of context and
text in translation. Featuring an account of translation from a
linguistic-cognitive perspective, House covers problematic issues
such as the existence of universals of translation, cases of
untranslatability and ways and means of assessing the quality of a
translation. Recent methodological and research avenues such as the
role of corpora in translation and the effects of globalization
processes on translation are presented in a neutral, non-biased
manner. The book concludes with a thorough, historical account of
the role of translation in foreign language learning and teaching
and a discussion of new challenges and problems of the professional
practice of translation in our world today. Written by a highly
experienced teacher and researcher in the field, Translation as
Communication across Languages and Cultures is an essential
resource for students and researchers of Translation Studies,
Applied Linguistics and Communication Studies.
