Corpus-Based Translation Studies in the Academy

The use of corpora in translation studies has attracted a great deal of attention in the past couple of decades.Much of this attention has explicitly recognised that what corpus-based research offers us is not a theoretical paradigm as such but a set of tools and methodologies which complement rather than replace traditional ways of researching and teaching translation.This paper will attempt to contribute to the debate on corpora by placing corpora- based research within the broader context of emerging trends and priorities in the academy,and more specifically in translation studies.
