New Frontiers in Translation Studies

Translation Studies as a discipline has witnessed the fastest growth in the last 40 years. With translation becoming increasingly more important in today’s glocalized world, some have even observed a general translational turn in humanities in recent years. The New Frontiers in Translation Studies aims to capture the newest developments in translation studies, with a focus on:

• Translation Studies research methodology, an area of growing interest amongst translation students and teachers;  

• Data-based empirical translation studies, a strong point of growth for the discipline because of the scientific nature of the quantitative and/or qualitative methods adopted in the investigations; and 

• Asian translation thoughts and theories, to complement the current Eurocentric translation studies.
