Overview

The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Pragmatics provides an overview of key concepts and theory in pragmatics, charts developments in the disciplinary relationship between translation studies and pragmatics, and showcases applications of pragmatics-inspired research in a wide range of translation, spoken and signed language interpreting activities. Bringing together 22 authoritative chapters by leading scholars, this reference work is divided into three sections: Influences and Intersections, Methodological Issues, and Applications. Contributions focus on features of linguistic pragmatics and their analysis in authentic and experimental data relating to a wide range of translation and interpreting activities, including: news, scientific, literary and audiovisual translation, translation in online social media, healthcare interpreting and audio description for the theatre. It also encompasses contributions on issues beyond the level of the text that include the study of interpersonal relationships in practitioner networks and the development of pragmatic competence in interpreter training. Each chapter includes many practical illustrative examples and a list of recommended reading. Fundamental reading for students and academics in translation and interpreting studies, this is also an essential resource for those working in the related fields of linguistics, communication and intercultural studies.

Reviews

The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Pragmatics lives up to its name: It superbly fills a long-felt gap by providing an outstanding overview of a central and expanding approach to Translation and Interpreting Studies. It not only successfully brings together different disciplinary traditions and perspectives, but also proposes an agenda for future developments in pragmatics-oriented translation research. Firmly grounded theoretically and methodologically, and yet highly accessible, this landmark volume will be an essential reference for novices and experts alike.
