Abstract:

Editor's Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced title.

Empirical translation studies is a rapidly evolving research area. This
volume, written by world-leading researchers, demonstrates the integration of
two new research paradigms: socially-oriented and data driven approaches to
empirical translation studies. These two models expand current translation
studies and stimulate reader debates around how development of quantitative
research methods and integration with advances in translation technologies
would significantly increase the research capacities of translation studies.
Highly engaging, the volume pioneers the development of socially-oriented
innovative research methods to enhance the current research capacities of
theoretical (descriptive) translation studies in order to tackle real-life
research issues, such as environmental protection and multicultural health
promotion. Illustrative case studies are used, bringing insight into advanced
research methodologies of designing, developing and analysing large scale
digital databases for multilingual and/or translation research.
