Corpus-based translation studies. Introduction

An introduction to the first section of this volume, which collects five articles written between the early 1990s and the early 2000s, that together articulate a vision of the application of corpus linguistics insights and techniques to the study of translation. Baker's vision proved to be rather prolific, since hardly any article on corpus-based translation studies fails to refer to one or more of these pioneering publications, which trace the birth as well as the first developments of one of the fastest-growing subfields in translation studies
