Over the years, translation has increasingly become a necessary tool to function in contemporary society. Based on years of research and teaching activity within the field, this book offers a useful and effective paradigm for the translation of different types of texts, guiding readers towards the realisation of effective translation projects. The several contrastive analyses presented and the suggestions offered throughout will help readers appreciate the implications and consequences of every translation choice, encouraging them to develop reading and translating skills applicable to the variety of texts they face in everyday life, from novels to comic books, films, and television series.

Audience(s) for this book
The book is mainly targeted at academics and university students of English, translation studies and communication studies. However, considering the materials under scrutiny, it might also appeal to a wider readership, including high school teachers and others working in the educational field, as well as readers interested in exploring the mechanisms at the basis of many of the products they enjoy in their everyday life and that determine many of their social encounters.
