Translation Revision and Post-editing looks at the apparently
dissolving boundary between correcting translations generated by
human brains and those generated by machines. It presents new
research on post-editing and revision in government and corporate
translation departments, translation agencies, the literary
publishing sector and the volunteer sector, as well as on training
in both types of translation checking work. This collection
includes empirical studies based on surveys, interviews and
keystroke logging, as well as more theoretical contributions
questioning such traditional distinctions as translating versus
editing. The chapters discuss revision and post-editing involving
eight languages: Afrikaans, Catalan, Dutch, English, Finnish,
French, German and Spanish. Among the topics covered are
translator/reviser relations and revising/post-editing by
non-professionals. The book is key reading for researchers,
instructors and advanced students in Translation Studies as well as
for professional translators with a special interest in checking
translations.

Originally published in 1984 this book provided the first German
case study of a prototypical 19th Century social problem, combining
a discussion of popular drinking behaviour with analysis of efforts
to reform it on the parts of both middle class temperance reformers
and the socialist labour movement. The book links the study of
popular drinking behaviour and organized responses to it to larger
themes in Germany's social and political development, providing an
important window on topics such as working class dietary standards
to the political mentality of the Bildungsbugertum.

Mathematical psychology is an interdisciplinary area of research in
which methods of mathematics, operations research, and computer
science in psychology are used. Now more than thirty years old, the
field has continued to grow rapidly and has taken on a life of its
own. This volume summarizes recent progress in mathematical
psychology as seen by some of the leading figures in the field as
well as some of its leading young researchers. The papers presented
in this volume reflect the most important current directions of
research in mathematical psychology. They cover topics in
measurement, decision and choice, psychophysics and psychometrics,
knowledge representation, neural nets and learning models, and
cognitive modeling. Some of the major ideas included are new
applications of concepts of measurement theory to social phenomena,
new directions in the theory of probabilistic choice, surprising
results in nonlinear utility theory, applications of boolean
methods in the theory of knowledge spaces, applications of neural
net ideas to concept learning, developments in the theory of
parallel processing models of response time, new results in
inhibition theory, and new concepts about paired associate
learning.
In The Global President: International Communication and the US
Government, scholars Stephen J. Farnsworth, S. Robert Lichter and
Roland Schatz provide an expansive international examination of
news coverage of US political communication, and the roles the US
government and the Presidency play in an increasingly communicative
and interconnected political world. This comprehensive yet concise
text will engage and inform students in many intersecting
disciplines, as it includes analyses of not just the Presidency,
but US foreign policy and contemporary political media itself. The
media developed to keep pace with the headwinds of political change
are being asked more and more to adapt to and enhance the ways in
which policy-makers, voters, and students make sense of the process
of governance. The realities of an ever-changing political
landscape are magnified nowhere more greatly than in the realm of
foreign policy, and the stakes surrounding the need for quality
communicational skills are no higher than at 1600 Pennsylvania
Avenue because - when the voices of the US government speak - the
world is listening. This book provides students a perfect entry
point into the complex and amorphous relationship between media and
government, where that relationship has been, and where it looks to
be heading in the future.
