Description

This edited thematic collection features latest developments of discourse analysis in translation and interpreting studies. It investigates the process of how cultural and ideological intervention is conducted in translation and interpreting using a wide array of discourse analysis and systemic functional linguistic approaches and drawing on empirical data from the Chinese context. The book is divided into four main sections: I. uncovering positioning and ideology in interpreting and translation, II. linking linguistic approach with socio-cultural interpretation, III. discourse analysis into news translation and IV. analysis of multimodal and intersemiotic discourse in translation.

The different approaches to discourse analysis provide a much-needed contribution to the field of translation and interpreting studies. This combination of discourse analysis and corpus analysis demonstrates the interconnectedness of these fields and offers a rich source of conceptual and methodological tools.

This book will appeal to scholars and research students in translation and interpreting studies, cross-linguistic discourse analysis and Chinese studies.

Reviews

"This volume explores new grounds in applied linguistics and serves as a substantial contribution in fusion ofDA and corpus linguistics in Translation and Interpretations, and thus it is beneficial to scholars of corpus linguistics, media studies, socio-linguistics and translation, and interpreting studies. Also, this book would be one of the strong references for future applied linguistics researchers."---Chao Liu, PhD Student, Graduate School of Translation and Interpretation, Beijing Foreign Studies University, Beijing, China

"The essence of translation and interpretation is communication. It has been a trend in translation and interpreting studies that the object of investigation is more viewed as a socio-cultural activity where the translators and interpreters are inevitably a cultural and ideological mediator rather than just a linguistic and communicative one. Against this backdrop, Binghua Wang and Jeremy Munday, in their edited book, Advances in discourse analysis of translation and interpreting: Linking linguistic approaches with socio-cultural interpretation, explore the connection between the linguistic and textual features on the micro level of analysis, and the social and cultural functions on the macro one.

The book consists of 11 chapters or four parts, respectively, on uncovering positioning and ideology in translation and interpreting, linking linguistic analysis with socio-cultural interpretation, discourse analysis of news translation, and analysis of multimodal and intersemiotic discourse in translation."---Xuelei Wang, School of International Studies, Hangzhou Normal University, China

"This book provides readers with diverse discourse analytical approaches to analyze translations and interpretations ranging from systemic-functional analysis, narrative theory, critical discourse analysis, the corpus-based method to visual semiotics. The various case studies have borne out the applicability and importance of discourse analysis in uncovering cultural and ideological interventions in translation and interpreting. Although many models in discourse analysis have been developed initially for analyzing monolingual texts, especially English ones, contributions in this monograph have testified to the potential and possibility of exploiting these models to examine bilingual texts. This volume is a valuable resource for scholars and students interested in discourse analytical approaches to translated and interpreted discourse. It is an in-time contribution to demonstrating the "innovation, enhancement and renewal" that have taken place in the overlapped area between discourse analysis and translation and interpreting studies."---Weixin Zeng, Department of Chinese and Bilingual Studies, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong, China
