Deckert Mikolaj (Eds.) Audiovisual Translation - Research and Use

Peter Lang GmbH, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften, 2017. — 299 p. — (Lodz Studies in Language). — ISBN10: 363172229X, 13 978-3631722299.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 volume's 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.Mikołaj Deckert — Introduction
