Reviews / Votes
"This volume is a timely addition to the Translation Studies repertoire, providing a highly accessible guide to the basic concepts of a rapidly evolving area of study, as well as to some key thinkers in the field. Giuseppe Palumbo's 'key terms' will serve as a valuable point of orientation for those new to the discipline as well as for those seeking further guidance in a subject with increasingly porous boundaries." - Professor Margaret Rogers, Centre for Translation Studies, University of Surrey, UKMore details
