ABSTRACT
Corpus-based translation studies has become a major paradigm and research
methodology and has investigated a wide variety of topics in the last two
decades. The contributions to this volume add to the range of corpus-based
studies by providing examples of some less explored applications of corpus
analysis methods to translation research. They show that the area keeps
evolving as it constantly opens up to different frameworks and approaches,
from appraisal theory to process-oriented analysis, and encompasses multiple
translation settings, including (indirect) literary translation,
machine(-assisted) translation and the practical work of professional legal
translators. The studies included in the volume also expand the range of
application of corpus applications in terms of the tools used to accomplish
the research tasks outlined.
