Reviews

Those of us involved in teaching within Translation Studies have much to learn from the long and rich experience of those working in language acquisition; this volume is proof that our work in Translation Studies is now also producing results and feedback, hopefully of use not only to ourselves but also to those using translation for purposes other than educating future professionals in the classroom. -- Dorothy Kelly, Departamento de Traduccion e Interpretacion, Universidad de Granada, Spain, on Linguist List 16.151, 2005
