Stemming from a thorough examination of up-to-date research and best practices in the field of statistics, this user-friendly guide introduces students and researchers of translation and interpreting studies to all stages of the research process that include quantitative research methods, from conceptualization to reporting. In five parts, the authors cover: * sampling techniques, measurement, and survey design * how to describe data * how to analyze differences * how to analyze relationships * how to interpret results. Each part includes references to additional resources and extensive examples from published empirical work. These have been selected by the authors to illustrate applications of all aspects of quantitative research methods and to demonstrate how researchers can address challenges inherent to T&I research. A quick reference table for specific tests is also included in the appendix. Quantitative Research Methods in Translation and Interpreting Studies is the essential primer on quantitative methods for all students and researchers in translation and interpreting studies. Additional materials are available on the Routledge Translation Studies Portal, including step-by-step walk-throughs of how analysis was conducted, and additional sample data sets for instruction and self study: http://cw.routledge.com/textbooks/translationstudies/

It not only provides references to real research, but also allows the readers to understand the concepts within a context they can relate to. (...) the book has all the necessary ingredients to become a reference guide for any scholar in Translation and Interpreting (T&I) studies involved in quantitative research." - Carla Parra Escartin, Dublin City University, Ireland, The Journal of Specialised Translation
