Recenzii
"Survey translation has received relatively little scholarly attention to date. The Sociolinguistics of Survey Translation is a very welcome addition to the field. The book discusses elements from sociolinguistics and translation studies, such as speech act theory, pragmatics, cultural norms, and functional equivalence, and applies them to the field of survey translation."
Ineke Crezee, Auckland University of Technology, Center for Translation and Interpreting, New Zealand, and coeditor of Translation & Interpreting
"This volume provides a great step forward for modern survey translation by enhancing its linguistic foundation with sociolinguistic concepts. It is a marvelous tool box as well, with the added benefit of examples from cultures as diverse as Arabic, Chinese or Spanish, all linked to English as the source language."
Peter Ph. Mohler, Universität Mannheim, Germany, and coeditor of Survey Methods in Multinational, Multiregional and Multicultural Contexts
"One of the biggest contributions this book makes is providing the reader with an understanding of the reasons why much more work is required after the initial translation process to ensure functional equivalence across different language versions of a survey. It gives the reader an in-depth understanding of the steps to take and the basics of how to do this."
