The use of corpora in translation studies, both as a tool for translators and as a way of analyzing the process of translation, is growing. This book provides a much-needed assessment of how the analysis of corpus data can make a contribution to the study of translation.
Introducing Corpora in Translation Studies:
- traces the development of corpus methods within translation studies
- defines the types of corpora used for translation research, discussing their design and application and presenting tools for extracting and analyzing data
- examines research potential and methodological limitatis
- considers some uses of corpora by translators and in translator training
- features research questions, case studies and discussion points to provide a practical guide to using corpora in translation studies.
Offering a comprehensive account of the use of corpora by today's translators and researchers, Introducing Corpora in Translation Studies is the definitive guide to a fast-developing area of study.
