This collection showcases applications of Relevance Theory (RT) to address key challenges in translation and interpreting studies. It presents empirical research on RT pragmatics, drawing from both real-world and experimental data across various translation and interpreting practices, such as literary translation, paradiplomatic translation, machine translation, and legal interpreting.
This book is divided into three parts: the first delves into theoretical innovations, while the second and third feature RT-based empirical analyses of translation and interpreting issues in diverse professional contexts.
With its focus on a wide variety of data types, contexts, and methodologies, this book will be of interest to students, scholars, and practitioners in translation and interpreting studies.

Fabrizio Gallai is Research Fellow and Lecturer at Libera Universita di Lingue e Comunicazione (IULM) in Milan, Italy.
