‘Juliane House’s book is an incisive re-evaluation of the position of Translation Studies and its relation to Applied Linguistics. It brings together a wealth of critical material to provide a wide-ranging, up-to-date assessment of the complex phenomenon of translation in its broader linguistic, cognitive and social contexts.’ Jeremy Munday, University of Leeds, UK'This is an important book for researchers and practitioners in applied linguistics – a passionate plea to consider translation as recontextualization and cross-cultural communication. Thoroughly researched with plenty of examples, this book also makes a forceful argument for rehabilitating translation in foreign language learning and teaching.’ Claire Kramsch, University of California, Berkeley, USA
