Reviews

[...] this volume provides a theoretical analysis of empirical research on processes and strategies in translation and interpreting, and it presents us with studies on how processing problems are handled. In addition to its obvious theoretical value, the book is also very helpful in terms of pedagogy and translation teaching since the findings are thought-provoking and may help teachers identify highly promising techniques and strategies for training purposes. -- Valentin Shevchuk, Moscow State Linguistic University
