QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH METHODS IN TRANSLATION AND INTERPRETING STU

<p>Quantitative Research Methods in Translation and Interpreting Studies encompasses all stages of the research process that include quantitative research methods, from conceptualization to reporting. In five parts, the authors cover:</p><p>• sampling techniques, measurement, and survey design;</p><p>• how to describe data;</p><p>• how to analyze differences;</p><p>• how to analyze relationships;</p><p>• how to interpret results.</p><p>Each part includes references to additional resources and extensive examples from published empirical work. A quick reference table for specific tests is also included in the appendix.</p><p>This user-friendly guide is the essential primer on quantitative methods for all students and researchers in translation and interpreting studies. Accompanying materials are available online, including step-by-step walkthroughs of how analysis was conducted, and extra sample data sets for instruction and self study: <strong>https://www.routledge.com/9781138124967</strong>.
