[Book Publication] A Comparative Study on the Translation of Detective Stories from a Systemic Functional Perspective
 
Dr. Yan Wang's book, A Comparative Study on the Translation of Detective Stories from a Systemic Functional Perspective, has been published by Springer. This book presents a corpus-based investigation of verbal projection in detective stories and their translations.
 
Adopting both diachronic and synchronic approaches to compare two different Chinese translations, the book is one of the first attempts to conduct a comprehensive lexico-grammatical, logico-semantic and rhetorical, as well as contextual analysis of verbal projection in the Chinese context, especially the classical Chinese language context. Further, it studies the differences and similarities of different translators’ choices from both diachronic and synchronic perspectives.
 
Given its scope, the book is relevant for all those interested in functional linguistics, translation studies and detective stories. You may follow the link for further information:
