Abstract
In an era where global political communication transcends linguistic and cultural boundaries, this edited volume offers a timely and insightful contribution to the interdisciplinary intersection of translation, interpreting, and political discourse studies. It explores how political texts are reconstructed, interpreted, and received across languages and contexts, highlighting the intricate relationship between language, power, and meaning in politically charged communication. Building on discussions from the 2019 Translation and Interpreting Political Discourse (TIPD) conference, the volume reflects growing scholarly interest in this field while expanding the scope of existing research. Through a multifaceted examination of political discourse as a mediated act of communication, it delves into the complexities of translation and interpreting practices in political contexts. Featuring research from a diverse array of countries, the volume weaves together a rich tapestry of perspectives and empirical findings, advancing the study of translation and interpreting while addressing broader questions about the politics of language.
