The book features recent attempts to construct corpora for specific purposes – e.g. multifactorial Dutch (parallel), Geasy Easy Language Corpus (intralingual), HK LegCo interpreting corpus – and showcases sophisticated and innovative corpus analysis methods. It proposes new approaches to address classical themes – i.e. translation pedagogy, translation norms and equivalence, principles of translation – and brings interdisciplinary perspectives – e.g. contrastive linguistics, cognition and metaphor studies – to cast new light. It is a timely reference for the researchers as well as postgraduate students who are interested in the applications of corpus technology to solving translation and interpreting problems.

After a full introduction, which enlists the main online resources that are needed to translate the proposed texts and details the pedagogic methodology adopted, the book is organized into 15 self-standing teaching units. Each unit presents first an abridged Italian source text, with each of its sentences numbered. The time recommended for the completion of the translation task is also indicated. Then, for each source text sentence the author provides a suggested translation that meets the criteria of accuracy and fluency. This is followed by an insightful discussion of the main problems actually encountered by students when rendering that particular sentence. For each of these authentic problems, the author provides an assessment of possible solutions based on an attentive and well documented use of a variety of resources. Stewart's methodology fully recognizes the collective and individual contribution made by the students to the translation assignment. In unearthing the main sources of translation difficulty and the process underlying the search for appropriate renderings, the author enables the teacher and learner to become aware of common pitfalls and how to overcome them.
