zlib_text: Researching Translation and Interpreting
  This volume oﬀers a comprehensive view of current research directions in Translation
  and Interpreting Studies, outlining the theoretical concepts underpinning that research
  and presenting detailed discussions of the various methods used.
  Organized around three factors that are responsible for shaping the study of transla-
  tion and interpreting today—post-structuralist theory, growth of the language industry,
  and technological innovations—this volume is divided into three parts:
  �
  Part I introduces the basics for conducting translation and interpreting research,
  emphasizing the importance of grounding studies in contemporary theory and
  outlining the steps necessary to ensure methodological rigor and validity of results.
  �
  Part II provides a theoretical mapping of current translation and interpreting
  research, from queer studies to cognitive science.
  �
  Part III explores the key methodological approaches to research in Translation
  and Interpreting
