Abstract:

This is a comprehensive guidebook to the quantitative methods needed for 
Corpus-Based Translation Studies (CBTS). It provides a systematic 
description of the various statistical tests used in Corpus Linguistics which 
can be used in translation research. In Part 1, Theoretical Explorations, the 
interplay between quantitative and qualitative methodologies is explored. Part 
2, Essential Corpus Studies, describes how to undertake quantitative studies, 
with a suitable level of technical and relevant case studies. Part 3, 
Quantitative Explorations of Literary Translations, looks at translations of 
classic works by Cao Xueqin, James Joyce and other authors. Finally, Part 4 
on Translation Lexis uses a variety of techniques new to translation studies, 
including multivariate analysis and game theory. This book is aimed at 
students and researchers of corpus linguistics, translation studies and 
quantitative linguistics. It will significantly advance current translation studies 
in terms of methodological innovation and will fill in an important gap in the 
development of quantitative methods for interdisciplinary translation studies.

your company operates such a program.
