Discourse and the Translator both incorporates and moves beyond previous studies of translation. Its logical and informative approach to the problems of translation ensures that it will be essential for all those who work with languages 'in contact'. Incorporating research in sociolinguistics, discourse studies, pragmatics and semiotics, the authors analyse the process and product of translation in their social contexts. Through this analysis, the book emphasises the importance of the translator as a mediator between cultures.

Quite a tough book to enjoy it:
As a translation student I think this book is quite tough to read because it is very dense and hard to understand in some occasions. I think it's a good book in the way that it classifies translation and its varieties, but it is not the kind of book to read on holidays.
