The volume brings together 14 works which aim to reflect on the problems of translation and interpretation from and into Iberian languages. It puts emphasis on normative aspects, translational strategies used in the determination of equivalents, the role of linguistic interferences and extralinguistic knowledge in translation and interpretation. The studies included in the monograph are based on both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Their results presented are divided into three thematic categories: (1) normativity, (2) equivalence, (3) quality. The book offers us a series of pointers to produce quality translations and interpretations and to improve the translational decision-making process.

This book includes scientific articles concerning the works of Kalle Päätalo. It also gives ideas for the research that can be carried out in the future. The authors of this book are researchers in the fields of history, linguistics and literature, respectively. The research results presented in this book speak for the fact that the Iijoki series is a significant source material for future research, for example from the point of view of oral history, language variation, metalanguage, swearing and the reader's reception. The possibilities for future research seem to be quite plentiful.

Cet ouvrage se consacre à la notion de terminologie numérique considérée comme une approche de la discipline impliquant la représentation numérique d'informations conceptuelles et linguistiques d'un domaine spécifique. L'objectif est l'illustration des étapes de conception et d'implémentation de base de données terminologiques multilingues permettant le respect des meilleures pratiques dans la gestion des données terminologiques du numérique. Pour ce faire, l'ouvrage met en exergue les nouvelles compétences du terminologue à l'ère numérique. Celles-ci trouvent leur véritable essence dans l'esprit interdisciplinaire et collaboratif de la recherche.
