Abstract
Translation studies is a vast discipline inextricably linked to linguistics (including applied linguistics, psycho- and neurolinguistics), textual studies, literary criticism, semiotics, history, and philosophy. In her book, Professor Laura Salmon applies an interdisciplinary approach to research a wide range of topical issues in translation theory, discovering their origins and exposing the inconsistency of binary oppositions that have always accompanied it.
The author’s main objective is to create a holistic scientific model of translation, which includes theoretically grounded and effective strategies and techniques of translation activities.
