Translationshistorische Arbeiten legten bereits Grundlagen für eine Geschichte der Translation aus translationswissenschaftlicher Perspektive. Wenig erforscht ist aber der Zusammenhang zwischen Translation einerseits und Reflexion über Translation andererseits, also die Relationen zwischen Gegenstands- und Disziplingeschichte.

This book is organized into three parts encompassing 11 chapters. Part I provides a case history and background material on Genie's personality and language behavior. This part describes the interaction between the authors and this remarkable girl. Part II details Genie's ling...
In spite of the day-to-day relevance of business communication, it remains underrepresented in standard handbooks and textbooks on applied linguistics. The present volume introduces readers to a wide variety of linguistic studies of business communication, ranging from traditional LSP approaches to contemporary discourse-based work, and from the micro-level of lexical choice to macro-level questions of language policy and culture.
