No. 4 (2024): Hermeneutics, Specialized Communication, and Translation

This issue of the Yearbook of Translational Hermeneutics aims to bring together specialized communication, translation, and hermeneutics. The scholarly investigation of transcultural specialized communication encompasses approaches drawn from such diverse disciplines as translation studies, linguistics, communication studies, cultural studies, and the respective areas of study they imply. Translational hermeneutics, in turn, is fed by a variety of approaches ranging from understanding in terms of the art and craft of interpretation, through to approaches to translation research informed by literary studies, cognitive science, and sociology, and also philosophically oriented approaches, especially those framed by phenomenological and philosophical hermeneutics. It can be assumed that a more in-depth study of hermeneutics, specialized communication, and translation, has the potential to accommodate a wide range of topics and questions.
