Translation is one of the most important cross-linguistic and cross-cultural practices. This short introduction focuses on what you need to know about it: the different perspectives on translation and key issues such as equivalence in translation, translation evaluation, and the role of translation in language teaching, globalization, and intercultural communication.

Provides a variety of theoretical and analytical perspectives on misunderstanding within different types of spoken interaction/discourse - such as in news media interviews, legal and medical situations, communication by second language learners and between different cultural and social groups, and mistakes in everyday conversation.
