[Special issue on the] Pragmatics of Translation

The special issue edited in the Journal of Pragmatics by Miriam A. Locher and Maria Sidiropoulou presents papers on translation outcomes and processes and highlights a pragmatic angle of understanding the transfer of language phenomena across cultures and intra-culturally. Translation is approached from a broad perspective, including written textual translation as well other modalities such as signing, simultaneous oral translation or audiovisual translation. https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/journal-of-pragmatics/special-issue/1072R6B7G7Z Editors: Miriam A.
