Abstract:
This international handbook documents and surveys, for the first time, the
entire complex of translation as well as the operations and phenomena
associated with it. Structured along systematic, historical, and geographic
lines, it offers a comprehensive and critical account of the current state
of knowledge and international research.

*covers translation phenomena - including the entire range of interlingual,
intralingual, and intersemiotic transfer and transformation - in their
social, material, linguistic, intellectual, and cultural diversity from
diachronic, synchronic, and systematic perspectives;
*documents and elucidates the most important results of the study of
translation to the present day, as well as the current debates, taking into
account theoretical assumptions and methodological implications;
*identifies, where possible, lacunae in existing research, listing
priorities and desiderata for further research.
Key Features:

time in these volumes

their applications
