Translating is the domain in which different languages indirectly contact each other. Language contact expands thehorizon of Corpus-Based Translation Studies. In contrast, Corpus-Based Translation Studies equips language contactwith new interpretations with translating as the focus and empiricalness as the methodological instruction. Corpus-Based Studies on Translation and Language Contact first systematically introduces the corpus-based research ontranslation and language contact, which is at the forefront of Translation Studies. It provides an overview of the newfield, drawing its outline and unveiling its system with in-depth discussions. Also, it recalls the history related to thenew field and envisages its future trend, complemented by a detailed analysis of classic case studies. This bookunfolds a brand-new field for Corpus-Based Translation Studies and the new field is bound to broaden its horizons.
