<p>Yet another success story in the world of academic publishing. <i>Linguistics for Translators</i> is a major undertaking. To reconcile the two perspectives (sentence and text linguistics) and come up with a product relevant to both translator and linguist, is a mammoth task, executed seamlessly and most effectively.</p><p>Emeritus Professor Basil Hatim, American University of Sharjah, UAE</p><p>Linguistics for Translators is a valuable addition to a field where theory and practice are closely intertwined. The authors review a wide range of linguistic concepts that are of relevance for the translator and illustrate them with clear, up-to-date examples in many languages. Frequent questions and tasks test and enhance the reader’s understanding.</p><p>Jeremy Munday, Professor Emeritus in Translation Studies, University of Leeds, UK</p><p>Almanna and House adopt a perspective in their <em>Linguistics for Translators</em> which shows convincingly that systematic knowledge of language is a fascinating and necessary resource for understanding translation. They maintain contact with questions arising in translation studies through their valuable linguistic orientation with a strong pedagogical focus. A timely and most welcome contribution to the field.</p><p>Univ.-Prof. Dr. Erich Steiner (i.R./ em.), Translation Studies Englisch, Saarland University, Dept. of Language Science and Technology.</p><p>Linguistics for Translators by Almanna and House provides a ground-breaking contribution to translation studies. It reinstates linguistics to the forefront of the field, by demonstrating its crucial importance for understanding what goes on in translation. This book is a must-read for academics, teachers, practitioners and students.</p><p>Dániel Z. Kádár, Ordinary Member of Academia Europaea, Chair Professor, Dalian University of Foreign Languages, China, and Hungarian Research Centre for Linguistics</p>
