Even the most dubious of Doubting Thomases cannot fail to be impressed with this wide-ranging update on progress in corpus-based translation studies. Seasoned researchers and younger colleagues combine here to explain both the practicalities of corpus construction and the many fields of inquiry to which corpus studies can contribute: not just to comparative linguistics, but also to translation quality assessment, translator stylistics, new robust approaches to translator education, critical discourse analysis, and the classical tendencies of translation. Particularly welcome are the extensions to website language, interpreting, and audiovisual translation. Corpus is not dead – here we are invited to touch the actual body of texts in the widest sense. Professor Anthony Pym, School of Languages and Linguistics, University of Melbourne, Australia
