Dynamic interfaces of translation, pragmatics and intercultural communication - Titela Vilceanu

As suggested by the title, Dynamic Interfaces of Translation, pragmatics and intercultural communication is an open invitation to explore the already chartered territory of Translation Studies from a substantial assortment of perspectives and for different purposes. The book is intended to systematically describe the complex phenomena of translation and its changing nature, to highlight and even build common standpoints and productive interfaces between Translation Studies, as an inward and outward looking discipline, and other fields more or less frequently associated with it: theoretical and applied linguistics, comparative literature, stylistics, anthropology, cultural studies, cognitive psychology, communication sciences, media studies, etc., all of them envisaged with their various subdivisions, standing out individually or globally. The book provides outlines and executive summaries of the main inputs in Translation Studies, programmatic definitions, theoretical and applied models, typologies, as well as conceptual and methodological analyses at several levels: descriptive, functional, reflective, action-oriented, showing both retrospective and prospective views against inter- and multidisciplinary landscapes.
