Sketching landscapes in translation studies
This paper investigates how subfields within translation studies have been defined and how research interests and foci have shifted over the years, using data from the Translation Studies Abstracts (TSA) online database. We draw on the notions of 'landscape' and 'sketch maps' in an attempt to reflect on the role that TSA editors, as well as writers of papers and abstracts, have had on the dynamics of the field. We start by offering an overview of…
Research Methodologies in Translation Studies
As an interdisciplinary area of research, translation studies attracts students and scholars with a wide range of backgrounds, who then need to face the challenge of accounting for a complex object of enquiry that does not adapt itself well to traditional methods in other fields of investigation. This book addresses the needs of such scholars – whether they are students doing research at postgraduate level or more experienced researchers who want…
Emphatic Italics in English Translations
This article argues that emphatic italics, a typographic feature regularly ignored by linguists and associated with poor style, have an important stylistic function in English, often working in implicit association with prosodic patterns in spoken language to signal marked information focus, thus fulfilling an important role in information structure and adding a conversational and involved tone to written texts. Emphatic italics are more common i…
A qualitative study of adaptation to the euro in the Republic of Ireland
This is the first of two reports of a study using semi‐structured, in‐depth interviews to explore the current and recollected experiences of Irish people for the period before, during, and after the introduction of euro notes and coins (1 January 2002). Twenty‐four adults, 12 males and 12 females, covering a range of ages and educational attainment, were interviewed between October 2002 and February 2003. We found that most had welcomed the new c…
Accounting for the exception to the norm
This article presents a study that was initially designed to find evidence of standardisation in translated language, but which revealed a completely different picture from the one expected. Part of the Translational English Corpus and part of the British National Corpus were used to make up a comparable corpus consisting of eight million words of translated and non-translated narrative writing in English. Instances of split infinitives were retr…
