Published at a time of unprecedented growth of interest in translation, the Dictionary of Translation Studies aims to present the insights of a number of different approaches to translation in an unbiased, non-partisan way. With more than 300 articles, this essential volume provides the reader with a snapshot of a rapidly developing discipline, based on work produced in serveral languages.

With a clear, easy-to-follow layout, the Dictionary provides a comprehensive and highly accessible survey of key terms and concepts (such as Abusive Translation, Equivalence, Informationsangebot, Minimax Principle, Texteme and Thick Translation), types of activity (Autotranslation, Dubbing, Signed Language Interpreting), and schools and approaches (Leipzig School, Manipulation School, Nitra School).

Each term is presented within the context in which it first occurred and is given a definition which is both clear and informative. Major entries include a discussion of relevant viewpoints as well as comments on how the usage and application of the term have developed subsequent to its coining. In addition, all entries provide suggestions for further reading, and there is an extensive bibliography included at the end.

This is an indispensable tool for anyone studying or teaching translation at university level.

Bibliography

Where later editions of a work have been consulted both the date of the first edition and that of the later one are given, separated by a slash (e.g. Snell-Hornby 1988/1995); where appropriate, a slash is also used with translations to separate the date of the original from that of the translation (e.g. Vinay & Darbelnet 1958/1995). Square brackets are used with undated publications to indicate that the date given is only approximate (e.g. Popovič [1976]). For some important articles alternative locations are also suggested. For ease of reference, works about translation, actual translations and other works are all listed together.
