Abstract
A significant addition to the theoretical and descriptive accounts of corpora in translation studies is Corpus-Based Translation Studies: Research and Applications, an edited volume by Alet Kruger, Kim Wallmach, and Jeremy Munday. This review aims at examining this edited volume in detail, focusing on each chapter, and highlighting specific strengths and limitations. Overall, the book delivers its aim to describe how corpus-based studies have assisted translation scholars, and reports on a wide range of research using corpora. As such, it should be of interest to any academic interested in the use of corpora in translation and interpreting research, but also to postgraduate modules or programmes on corpus-based translation and interpreting studies
