Routledge Handbook of Translation and Methodology

<p><i>The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Methodology</i> provides a comprehensive overview of methodologies in translation studies, including both well-established and more recent approaches.</p><p>The <em>Handbook </em>is organised into three sections, the first of which covers methodological issues in the two main paradigms to have emerged from within translation studies, namely skopos theory and descriptive translation studies. The second section covers multidisciplinary perspectives in research methodology and considers their application in translation research. The third section deals with practical and pragmatic methodological issues. Each chapter provides a summary of relevant research, a literature overview, critical issues and topics, recommendations for best practice, and some suggestions for further reading.</p><p>Bringing together over 30 eminent international scholars from a wide range of disciplinary and geographical backgrounds, this <em>Handbook</em> is essential reading for all students and scholars involved in translation methodology and research.</p> <p>List of Figures and Tables</p><p>List of Contributors</p><p>1.
