Incorporating research in sociolinguistics, discourse studies, pragmatics and semiotics, the book analyses the process and product of translation in different social contexts, and examines the practice of translation in the context of theoretical linguistics. It combines the specific techniques of a translator with the broad conceptual issues that are of relevance to linguistics generally.
