Critical Discourse Analysis in Translation Studies is the first textbook to provide a systematic treatment of how CDA may be applied to the analysis of translated and interpreted texts.

Kyung Hye Kim provides in-depth explanations about how various strands of CDA, from the Hallidayan analytical framework to Fairclough’s dialectical relationship model and van Dijk’s ideological square, can be employed in translation studies, and how they can be combined with appraisal theory to deliver rich analyses of translated text. She demonstrates the ability of CDA to address complex translation practices, in both traditional and digital media, using various examples in different languages. With numerous exercises using authentic texts, this textbook empowers readers to apply a CDA framework in their own work.

This accessible textbook is essential reading for all students of discourse and text analysis within translation and interpreting studies.
