Abstract:

The use of language corpora as a resource in linguistics and
language-related disciplines is now well-established. One of the many
fields where the impact of corpora has been growing in recent years is
translation, both at a descriptive and a practical level. The papers
in this volume, which grew out of presentations at the conference
Cult2k (Bertinoro, Italy, 2000), the second in the series Corpus Use
and Learning to Translate, are principally concerned with the use of
corpora as resources for the translator and as teaching and learning
aids in the context of the translation classroom.

This book offers a cross-section of research by some leading scholars
in the field, who offer accounts of first-hand experience and
theoretical insights into the various ways of building and using
appropriate corpora in translation teaching, for the benefit of
teachers and learners alike. The various contributions provide a rich
source of inspiration for other researchers and practitioners
concerned with 'corpora in translator education'.

Contributors include Stig Johansson, Tony McEnery, Kirsten Malmkjaer,
Jennifer Pearson, Lynne Bowker, Krista Varantola, Belinda Maia and a
number of other scholars.
