Bloomsbury Academic Corpus Linguistics and Translation Tools for Digital Humanities: Research Methods and Applications

About the Author Stefania M. Maci is Professor of English Language (University of Bergamo, Italy). Michele Sala is Associate Professor of English Language (University of Bergamo, Italy). Product Description This book presents the digital humanities as both a domain of practice and as a set of methodological approaches to be applied to corpus linguistics and translation. Chapters in this volume provide a novel and original framework to triangulate research for pursuing both scientific and educational goals within the digital humanities, and highlight the importance of data triangulation in corpus linguistics and translation studies. Putting forward practical applications for digging into data, this book shows how to integrate quantitative and qualitative approaches through case studies, sample analysis and practical examples. Review A timely, innovative book on the analysis of texts and corpora in digital humanities bringing together a number of thoughtful contributions from corpus methodologies, discourse analysis and translation studies. --José Santaemilia, Full Professor of English, University of València, SpainThis volume addresses a critical gap by bringing together three major research domains: translation studies, digital humanities and corpus linguistics. As such, it will be an important tool for students and researchers in all three areas to better understand the (potential) intersections between them in both theoretical and practical terms. --Charlotte Taylor, Senior Lecturer in English Language and Linguistics, University of Sussex, UK'Does the ‘West’ exist in the Middle East and North Africa? Only on rare occasions. Should we leave things as they are? Given the trend in the United States to reduce its footprint in the region, the necessity for Europe to deal with new threats in its neighborhood, the revival of Russian influence, and the rise of China, the answer is no. Thepaut, a well-traveled diplomat and clear-sighted think tanker, provides a trove of fact-based analyses in his book. It offers an essential basis for policymakers to rethink an issue that should become central in an updated transatlantic dialogue.' --Michel Duclos, special advisor at the Montaigne Institute and former French ambassador to Syria and Switzerland
