Abstract:

Corpora are among the hottest issues in translation studies affecting both 
pure and applied realms of the discipline. As for pure translation studies, 
corpora have done their part through contributions to the studies on 
translational language and translation universals. Yet, their recent contribution 
is within the borders of applied translation studies, i.e. translator training and 
translation aids. The former is the major focus of the present book.
The present book in fact aims at providing readers with comprehensive 
information about corpora in translation studies in general, and corpora in 
translator education in particular. It further offers researchers and 
practitioners a comprehensive and up-to-date survey of studies done on 
corpora in translator education and provides a rich source of information on 
pros and cons of using different types of corpora as translation aids in the 
context of translation classrooms. 

Contents: An Introduction to Corpus Linguistics - Corpora and Translation 
Studies - What Information Corpora Offer to Translators? - Corpora and 
Student Translators - Corpora and Translation Teachers. 

Tengku Sepora Tengku Mahadi is associate professor in the school of
