Klappentext This innovative volume highlights the key theoretical discussions at the forefront of the emerging field of research on translation policy. The book lays out different theoretical frameworks for the study of translation policy and takes into account various contexts in which translation policy comes into play, including linguistic justice, language planning and language policy, interpreting in the higher education system, policy evaluation, and translation and the law. This book is a fundamental resource for students and scholars interested in translation and interpreting studies and issues concerning language policy and linguistic diversity. Zusammenfassung This book brings together an ensemble of leading voices from the fields of economics! language policy! law! political philosophy! and translation studies. They come together to provide theoretical perspectives and practical case studies regarding a shared concern: translation policy. Their timely perspectives and case studies allow for the problematizing and exploration of translation policy! an area that is beginning to come to the attention of scholars. This book offers the first truly interdisciplinary approach to an area of study that is still in its infancy. It thus makes a timely and necessary contribution. As the 21st century marches on! authorities are more and more confronted with the reality of multilingual societies! and the monolingual state polices of yesteryear seem unable to satisfy increasing demands for more just societies. Precisely because of that! language policies of necessity must include choices about the use or non-use of translation at different levels. Thus! translation policy plays a prominent yet often unseen role in multilingual societies. This role is shaped by tensions and compromises that bear on the distribution of resources! choices about language! legal imperatives! and notions of justice. This book aims to inform scholars and policy makers alike regarding these issues. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.
