Reviews

This astonishingly wide overview extends well beyond traditional translation and interpreting, gauging the impact of new technologies and embracing new kinds of language work, with many new names. Experts in their fields, the authors bring together the knowledge that has been accrued and the indications of possible futures, inviting ongoing dialogue with industry stakeholders. In lieu of guru-talk, here we reap the fruits of research. * Anthony Pym, Professor of Translation and Intercultural Studies, Universitat Rovira I Virgili, Spain *
