Organized around three factors that are responsible for shaping the study of translation and interpreting today: post-positivist theoretical approaches, developments in the language industry, and technological innovations, this volume is divided into three parts: Part I introduces the basic concepts organizing translation and interpreting research, such as the difference between qualitative and quantitative research, between product-oriented and process-oriented studies, and between prescriptive and descriptive approaches.
