TRANSLATA II was the second in a series of triennial conferences on
Translation and Interpreting Studies, held at the University of
Innsbruck. The series is conceptualized as a forum for Translation
Studies research. This volume includes selected contributions on
translation theory and general issues in Translation Studies, as well as
on translation theory and translation practice. The contributors focus
also on literary translation, contrastive linguistics and the relation
between semantics and cognition, as well as the relation between text,
context and culture. The book also regards the translation process, the
competence and quality of translation and professional aspects in
translation and interpreting.
