Studying Scientific Metaphor in Translation presents a multilingual
examination of the translation of metaphors. Mark Shuttleworth
explores this facet of translation and develops a theoretically
nuanced description of the procedures that translators have
recourse to when translating metaphorical language. Drawing on a
core corpus consisting of six Scientific American articles in the
fields of neurobiology and biotechnology dating from 2004, along
with their translations into Chinese, French, German, Italian,
Polish and Russian, Shuttleworth provides a data-driven and
theoretically informed picture of the processes that underpin
metaphor translation. The book builds interdisciplinary bridges
between translation scholars and metaphor researchers, proposes a
new set of procedures for metaphor translation conceived within the
context of descriptive translation studies, and puts forward a
possible resolution to the debate on metaphor translatability.
