Corpus-based translation studies: theory, findings, applications (Approaches to translation studies 17)

摘要

As a discipline, corpus-based translation studies is nearly 20 years old now, and the book under review represents quite an event in the development of this fast-moving field of research, since it attempts to assess the state of the art, sums up its main ideas, techniques of analysis, findings and applications and offers some new generalizations. Never before has any scholar given such an exhaustive and comprehensive description of the theory, findings and applications of corpus-based translation studies. Sara Laviosa's book addresses the potential role of corpora in translation studies and presents an overview and critical review of previous empirical and corpus-based research.
