Audiovisual Translation Research and Use

This book explores two strands of Audiovisual Translation referred to as research and use. As their points of convergence as well as divergence are brought to light, the contributors show that the two tend to overlap and cross-pollinate. The volumes inquiries of linguistic, cultural, sociological, computational, educational and historical nature give a comprehensive up-to-date account of AVT as an expanding and heterogeneous, yet internally coherent, field of scientific and professional endeavour. The book offers a good balance of chapters dealing with new topics and chapters dealing with more established AVT topics from new angles. It is a must read for TS students and academics but also for practitioners and for translators from other domains, given the increased prominence and diversity of AVT modes both in TS research and translation practice.
