Zooming in : Micro-Scale Perspectives on Cognition, Translation and Cross-Cultural Communication
Overview
This book explores the influence of culture and cognition on translation and communication and brings together revised versions of papers delivered at the First International TransLingua Conference, organized in 2015 by the Institute of Modern Languages and Applied Linguistics and the Department of English at Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz, Poland. The volume investigates various languages and cultures (including Japanese, Hungarian, English, Czech, Polish, German and Swahili) and examines a range of linguistic and translation issues from a micro-scale perspective. Alongside these case studies, it also includes reflections by two internationally renowned scholars, Elzbieta Tabakowska and Zolt n K vecses, on the interplay between language, culture and cognition and the influence of collective and individual memory on translation.
