Translation and interpreting studies and intercultural
communication have so far largely been treated as separate
disciplines. Translational Action and Intercultural Communication
offers an overview of a range of different theoretical and
methodological approaches to examining the hitherto largely ignored
connection between the two research strands. Drawing on three key
concepts ('functional equivalence', 'dilated speech situation' and
'intercultural understanding'), this interdisciplinary volume
attempts to interrelate the following thematic strands: procedures
of mediating between cultures in translational action, problems of
intercultural communication in translational action, and insights
into intercultural communication based on analyses of translational
action. The volume features both contrastive papers and papers
which investigate communicative events in actu. The analyses
presented deal with a variety of genres and types of interaction,
including children's books, speech acts in dramatic text, popular
science and economic texts, excerpts from intercultural university
encounters, phatic talk, toast giving and medical communication.
