Description
This Handbook offers a comprehensive grounding in key issues of corpus-informed translation studies, while showcasing the diverse range of topics, applications, and developments of corpus linguistics.
In recent decades there has been a proliferation of scholarly activity that applies corpus linguistics in diverse ways to translation studies (TS). The relative ease of availability of corpora and text analysis programs has made corpora an increasingly accessible and useful tool for practising translators and for scholars and students of translation studies. This Handbook first provides an overview of the discipline and presents detailed chapters on specific areas, such as the design and analysis of multilingual corpora; corpus analysis of the language of translated texts; the use of corpora to analyse literary translation; corpora and critical translation studies; and the application of corpora in specific fields, such as bilingual lexicography, machine translation, and cognitive translation studies. Addressing a range of core thematic areas in translation studies, the volume also covers the role corpora play in translator education and in aspects of the study of minority and endangered languages. The authors set the stage for the exploration of the intersection between corpus linguistics and translation studies, anticipating continued growth and refinement in the field.
This volume provides an essential orientation for translators and TS scholars, teachers, and students who are interested in learning the applications of corpus linguistics to the practice and study of translation.

Reviews / Votes
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
