The Routledge Handbook of Translation Studies and Linguistics

The second edition of The Routledge Handbook of Translation Studies and Linguistics explores
the dynamic relationships between Translation and Interpreting Studies and Linguistics through
six thematic sections and chapters written by leading theorists and practitioners in the field. Fully
revised throughout, with completely new chapters on multilingualism, translation and ethics;
translation, language and emotion; and translation, language and aesthetics, this new edition also
incorporates multimodal perspectives.

Part One examines the nature of language, translation and interpreting, addressing connections
between Translation Studies and core linguistic domains: linguistic theory, syntax, semantics,
semiotics and phonology. Part Two investigates how meaning is formulated and conveyed within
and across language boundaries, while Part Three focuses on the role of translation and interpreting
in text creation and dissemination. Part Four shifts attention to translation and interpreting in
interpersonal contexts, and Part Five explores the growing influence of media and technology
in facilitating human interaction through translation and interpreting. Finally, Part Six addresses
applied areas, including translation in foreign-language pedagogy, the translation–lexicography
interface and the role of translation and interpreting in Language for Specific Purposes.

The Handbook provides comprehensive coverage through accessible chapters, offering historical depth and forward vision by combining foundational background with current developments and future trajectories. Extended learning resources, including curated suggestions for further
reading, enhance its value as a reference work. With an introduction by the editor and an extensive
bibliography, this Handbook is an indispensable resource for advanced students of Translation
Studies, Interpreting Studies and Applied Linguistics.
