Translation Matters

About the Journal

Translation matters! It matters because it occurs in some form or another – interlinguistically, intralinguistically, or intersemiotically – in every communicative event. It matters because it is a crucial part of the transmission of information across time and space, contributing to the construction of languages, knowledge and identity. It matters too because the debates that it launches about the nature of meaning, and the processes involved in its generation and transmission, are fundamental to all aspects of human culture.

This journal explores all kinds of translation matters, ranging from the theoretical and descriptive to the practical and technical.
