Personality Matters

<p><strong>Unique interaction between personality traits and translation process</strong></p><p>The analysis of translated texts and investigations into the cognitive mechanisms involved in the process of translation are burgeoning areas of research in translation studies. <em>Personality Matters</em> ventures into a previously uncharted territory in its exploration of the psychological and cognitive characteristics of a translator. Combining psychology and translation process research this groundbreaking study identifies personality traits that distinguish translators from non-translators and shows that the translator's personality matters in translation especially in the process of self-revision. The individual translator thus stands central in <em>Personality Matters</em> - making this book a topical contribution to translation studies as it continues to evolve in taking account of the people behind the ubiquity of translation in the modern globalized world.</p><p>This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).</p>
