The book features recent attempts to construct corpora for specific purposes e.g. multifactorial Dutch (parallel), Geasy Easy Language Corpus (intralingual), HK LegCo interpreting corpus and showcases sophisticated and innovative corpus analysis methods. It proposes new approaches to address classical themes i.e. translation pedagogy, translation norms and equivalence, principles of translation and brings interdisciplinary perspectives e.g. contrastive linguistics, cognition and metaphor studies to cast new light. It is a timely reference for the researchers as well as postgraduate students who are interested in the applications of corpus technology to solving translation and interpreting problems.
