55,60 inkl. MwSt
lt;p>The book describes the communicative and professional context of biomedical translation and its lexical complexities. It also outlines the different participants, stages, standards, and competences involved. Finally, the book addresses information mining and the use of terminological and technological tools including specialized electronic corpora.


lt;p>Biomedical translation is a complex activity that goes far beyond finding equivalent terms in another language. Communication and safety problems may occur in scenarios such as the following: (i) if translators are unaware of the conceptual, lexical, and pragmatic complexities of medical translation; (ii) if they do not possess advanced translation competence; or (iii) if they are not familiar with standards and workflows of the sector, or with documentation techniques. They should also be aware of the terminological and technological tools commonly used in the healthcare industry. This book provides viable solutions for English-Spanish medical translators who face such problems. It also integrates widely accepted theoretical paradigms and presents the most up-to-date resources and tools.
