This volume applies digital humanities methodologies to indirect
translations in testing the concatenation effect hypothesis. The
concatenation effect hypothesis suggests that indirect translations
tend to omit or alter identifiably foreign elements and also tend
not to identify themselves as translations. The book begins by
introducing the methodological framework to be applied in the
chapters that follow and providing an overview of the hypothesis.
The various chapters focus on specific aspects of the hypothesis
that relate to specific linguistic, stylistic, and visual features
of indirect translations. These features provide evidence that can
be used to assess whether and to what extent the concatenation
effect is in evidence in any given example. The overarching aim of
the book is not to demonstrate or falsify the veracity of the
concatenation effect hypothesis or to give any definitive answers
to the research questions posed. Rather, the aim is to pique the
curiosity and provoke the creativity of students and researchers in
all areas of translation studies who may never have considered
indirect translation as relevant to their work.
This book is the first of its kind in creating a snapshot of the
state of the art in the use of technology in translating creative
texts. The book gives an overview of a wide range of subjects that
are developing rapidly and are likely to become substantially more
important to both researchers and practitioners over the next few
years. It includes work by researchers at all career stages, with
strong representation by early and mid-career researchers who are
likely to go on to shape the field in the coming years. It
addresses active debates in the field (i.e. whether technology
can/should be used in the translation of creative texts) from the
perspective of data, rather than conjecture. Events and
publications in the same field are increasing in number rapidly,
along with the number of researchers expressing an interest in the
topic. Therefore, this book is well placed to become influential in
this development.
