SIGNIFICANCE OF TRANSLATION IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALISATION
Keywords:
Abstract
The relationship between translation and globalisation has attracted plenty of attention in the past ten years from professional translators and scholars. Michael Cronin (2003) notably set the terms of this discussion by showing how translation has historically been a powerful tool for globalisation and how our perception of translation is being transformed as a result of the globalising process. The association between globalisation and translation should be evident in many ways: within various definitions of economic and cultural globalisation there are common conceptual threads that lead more or less directly to translation.
