'Olohan's textbook will, no doubt, be a "must read" not just among researchers in translation studies interested in corpus methods, but also among corpus linguists interested in translation.' - The Linguist List'Coverage of the major challenges and approaches is comprehensive and thorough ... this is the best textbook on corpora of and for translation.' - BAAL News'This book is truly an excellent resource ... Well-written and clearly structured ... [the] author's focus on the translator is well motivated, consistent and respectful, all of which are important qualities and worthy of emulation.' – Target
